Topic: More than 1 administrators

[ChanChong]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a possibility using the web-interface to let a user have su access?

I have tried dungog.net rpm for user shell access and also proftpdchroot. However, it doesnt yield the result I wanted.

Basically, what I want to achieve is that so users will become administrators without knowing the root password. However, the first block that I stumbled upon was that even after I made a user SU and then chroot to the PRIMARY folder, the user does not have permission to upload or create directories.

Anyone out there who have any idea how to make it better, please enlighten me.

Thanks.

Hi,

Did you try the use-panel contrib? It will give certain users all the server-manager panels. Maybe that is what you are after.

chroot is only for ftp

do you know how to use sudo ?

as ordinary user with sudo access. preceed the command with sudo
bash-2.05a$ sudo mkdir /new
Password: [enter user password]

Thanks for all the help. I am not very familar with linux. That explains why I may sound a bit foreign here.

So I guess there isn't really an easier way to actually allow user to log in using their own account and ftp into a area where is usually accessed by using the root/admin account.
