    hi, i have the below 2 files

    /etc/ftpusers
    /etc/ftpd/ftpusers

    Okay, what i want to acheive is not to allow ftp from certain users.
    Currently, my 2 files above are empty with owners and permissions as
    belows

    -rw-rw-r-- 1 bin bin

    and they are empty. Therefore, pple are allowed to ftp?

    So, when i enter some of the users in /etc/ftpusers to allow ftp,
    these users are not able to ftp as well.

    Please advise.
