I have been reading through the manuals, the how-to's, and the forum strings here and I have gotten myself confused.
1. I want to host multiple sites on my server.
2. I want the owner of each site to be able to FTP to thier site, do what they need to do, and not be able to mess with anyone else's site.
3. I don't want anonymous FTP access at all.
4. Each seperate site is hosted in it's own i-bay.
Problems I had:
I create an i-bay, with the intent of only one person besides myself being able to change the content of that i-bay. So, I create ibay 'abc' and I now I have user 'abc' and I set a password on that i-bay. Now I have another problem, ibay 'abc' needs to be set 'entire internet, no password' so that everyone can visit this site. So I can't password protect that ibay. That means giving the owner of 'abc' the login/password for the ibay is not an option.
So, I make a user for the guy that owns 'abc'. I call him 'bob'. Linux automatically makes a group called 'bob' for that user, right? Well, now I'm setting permissions on 'abc' from the server manager, and under the 'groups' pull down, I don't see group 'bob'. And I can't designate that only bob has write access to that ibay. So I make a group, 'abcusers', and put bob and admin in it. I select that group, and then select 'Group = Write Everyone = Read' Now, my permissions are set so that only bob and me can write to ibay 'abc'. I also changed the home dir of 'bob' to his ibay dir, so he starts there when he logs in.
Problems I still have:
I can anonymous FTP to my sites I host, and I don't want that, even through when you log in anonymous you can't do anything.
What I would like to see:
More permissions settings in the ibay>modify menu
Why am I posting this:
Because I read these strings:
