hello all, I need to know how I can configure vsftp or proftp (kindly suggest which one is more stable ). I have the following needs. 1. user should be able to log into his home directory by default. 2. I don't want to chroot jail the user in his home directory . I have shared /var/www for use by public and thus I need to allow user to change directory to such shared folders. regarding printing, I will like to know if I can share the printer on another machine running linux? both the sharing and accessing machines are linux based. I tried doing it but while the printer is working fine on linux, I can't share the same with other linux machines in the network? I have dhcp on all machines so there is no static ip, is that the problem? I am running fedora core 6 on all desktop machines. so can some one guide me please? Krishnakant.

Do the necessary settings in your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf Have a look at http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html#BrowseAllow Using a network ID instead of individual addresses should be your solution.

yes I figured out that dhcp wont work in this case. but the problem is how to get the printer on the network. cups is a command line based tool and I want people to use the printer over the network with open office etc, just the way people do it on windows. I am again reminding those who would like to assist that my printer is well configured on the linux machine, only sharing it is a problem.

Cups has nothing to do with using the printer. Once your printer is shared, after a few minutes, it should show up on the client machines as a networked printer. Then the users simply use it as their default printer. Your cupsd.conf should be configured correctly.
