ftpgroups(4) File Formats ftpgroups(4)NAMEftpgroups - FTP Server enhanced group access file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ftpd/ftpgroups
DESCRIPTION
The ftpgroups file contains the enhanced group access information.
After login, if the ftpaccess(4) file includes private yes, the user
may use the SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS commands to specify an enhanced
access group and a password for that group. If the access group name
and password are valid, the FTP Server executes setegid(2) to make the
user a member of the real group listed in the ftpgroups file.
The format for the ftpgroups file is:
accessgroup:encrypted_password:real_group_name
The fields are defined as follows:
accessgroup An arbitrary string of alphanumeric and punctu‐
ation characters.
encrypted_password The group password encrypted exactly like in
/etc/shadow.
real_group_name The name of a valid group returned by getgr‐
nam(3C).
The privatepw utility is an administrative tool to add, delete and list
enhanced access group information in the ftpgroups file. See pri‐
vatepw(1M). Lines that begin with a # sign are treated as comment lines
and are ignored.
