master account

Thanks.  I got it though J

I used chmod –R 770 and relaxed the security to allow the writable permission to be used on the group and used a Linux shell account ( a trusted user of course ) as the master use.  Works like a charm J

I had the same dilemma, I used Samba to allow a master account to provide maintenance for the jails.

Hi All,

I am pretty new to chrooting users.  I need to find out how I can have 1 master account that has full permissions to every users’ “uploadable” directory.  This master user will read, write and delete files (maintenance) in every sftp users home directory.

I tried chmod –R 770 permissions but since the group permission is writable the original user is unable to log in…  I am at a road block here and I need the lists imput.

Ideas comments to get this to work in one way or another?

Thanks!
