give certain users more logins?

howdi,

I've been playing around with ioFTPD for some time now, but there's something I'm unable to fix..

Host.rules is set to POLICY ACCEPT 1
how can I give certain users (one group in particular) 2 ftp logins/ip??
is it even possible without giving them the M/L flag?

In host.rules set to 2 and restrict back to 1 login in user account.

You can also create a specific class for this user's ip address in Hosts.Rules and give this class 2 logins per ip while the general policy is 1 login per ip.

Code:

#  Classes
#
#  CLASS CLASS_NAME  TOTAL_CONNECTIONS_PER_CLASS

#       Rules
#
#       ACCEPT  I|H     IP|HOSTNAME     CLASS_NAME      CONNECTIONS_PER_IP
#       DENY    I|H     IP|HOSTNAME     LOG_STRING
#

This is the syntax of the definitions of the classes and the rules. Have a look to the default Hosts.Rules, there are examples too.

Keep in mind that Hosts.Rules is different than the account's settings. You should use both in your case.

or .... this would make even more sense:

site change =GROUPNAME logins 2 ftp

where GROUPNAME is the group of the users you want to give 2 logins... it works like a charm

this is also assuming your Host.Rules already dictates that users can login more than once on 1 ip. as host.rules is read before individual rights.

yes, but those solutions don't work with the anonymous account
anonymous leechers should only be able to login once per ip, but there can be 10 different people logged in with the anonymous account

how can you force that(with host.rules set to >1)?

if host.rules is set to > 1, then you need a script to check ip and allow users to login accordingly. no idea if that script exists.
