Actually you saying that is what gave me the hint: here's how I fixed it. # Set the user and group that the server normally runs at. User nobody <- unchanged Group netaccess <- customized DefaultRoot /home/ netaccess,!users <- limits access to everyone except those added to the group: users You can also use ~ to limit to their own directory. But I couldn't get it to work, but I also didn't want that, limiting to /home/ is fine by me. Thanks for the hint that pointed me in the right direction. -- Michelle Alexia "Jade" Storm Dragon Impersonating a Human and failing.
