RE: a grep question [and now an ftp perm ?]
Thanks mike, I found what I needed from info i.e. grep -r '10.x'
/path/to/be/searched
Help says try grep -ld 10.x
I tried changing syntax to grep -l-directories 10. or
l-directories=read or 'read' and so on but got nothing. What is correct
syntax anyways?
On a different note someone just asked me to set up a ftp account and
restrict it's access to only one site e.g. /data/www/theirsiteonly.
I think I saw on a prior post someone said create a user for ftp and
change their shell to /bin/pftp then ln -s their home directory to the
desired ftp login i.e. /data/www/theirsite.com/htdocs.
Another post says to not have 'x' directory browseable do chmod 0711
/directory-of-choice which looks promising but not quite what I need.
I've been reading a linux security book and I believe I recall it saying
I'd need to specify an 'unmask' (not sure the spelling here) and
subtract bits from 777 to lock down the user's access but that books at
home :(

We don't know unless you show us the precise command line you're using.
Cut'n'paste from your terminal.

You could also
$ grep '10.0.0.1' any.cgi
...you don't strictly need the cat command.

One way:
find /path/to/cgi-bin -type f -exec grep '10.0.0.1' {} \;
(the {} and the \; are explained in the find manpage under the -exec
directive. if you want to know the name of the file rather than getting
back the line itself, one way is to give grep the -l option.)
