Is there a way to create only pop accounts on a Raq3 without giving those users web sites?

I want people to have their email accounts for a certain domain, but don't want to allow them to FTP or have a site http://domain/~user.

I just need to allow POP or webmail, but without webspace, shell, CGI or anything else but POP. How would you do it?

Well, you could SSH in and change the permissions on the folder so that they couldn't FTP in...

chown notusername /path/to/their/directory

notusername could be anyone but them, like the site admin. or chmod -R the folder so they don't have permission, etc. Same end result, either way you do it I believe.

i was looking into this also...my friend suggested this:

open up /etc/ftpusers

and add any username u don't want to give ftp access to in there. root should be listed as one of them already.

as for having the domain.com/~user, just put up anything in place of it if it bothers ya.

I believe I'll try Chicken's suggestion, because if the admin just creates another account, that user won't be in /etc/ftpusers, so he will have FTP access.

I forgot to mention that I want to give the siteadmin the option to create more accounts, but only for POP.

Anyway, GideaonX, I knew there was a way to block FTP users, but I had lost my bookmark about this. :)

Thank you very much for your help.

not a problem :) btw, if you chown the directory, they can still login via FTP, but they won't be able to view anything or upload anything.
