Hello fellas, what is wrong with this command

adduser -ou 0 -g 0 /var/lib/psa/dumps bkpuser

Hi hardbrasil,

you have a thinking mistake here:

a new user with root privileges

If a user has "root privileges", you can't chroot this user.

ok, i got it.

so how group user should i use to have privileges to access that path and move files trough ftp ftps ?

Hi hardbrasil,

pls. don't make it more complicated than it probably is.... just tell us, WHAT your goal is, so that someone can suggest a work-around for it.

Hi hardbrasil,

well, you might have already noticed, that files INSIDE the folder "/var/lib/psa/dumps" are owned by root : root , which conflicts with your desire to create a new user with the same priviliges, who should be chrooted to that folder only, so basically the answer to "Is that possible" is "no".

If you desire to "move files trough ftp ftps" regulary from the folder "/var/lib/psa/dumps", consider to use crontabs for the root - user.
