So is the short story: If a user has shell access...they will always start in their home directory? Is there no other option? Also, what's with the passwd and group files in /var/ftp/etc? Should I be adding users in there? What is their significance? I've been using my /etc/passwd to add users for ftp accounts. Should I not be?
