similar to: OT - Proftpd Authentication Failure

For some reason proftpd stopped authentication for users. Anonymous access still works but when someone tries to access the server via their login it no longer authenticates them. I recently ran yum where proftpd was updated (that said, I'm not sure that caused the problem). I uninstalled the new version and and installed a prior version with no change. Below is a look at my config, a

Hello list!! I am trying to setup very simple authentication for proftpd under centos 5.6. But for some reason it isn't working and I was hoping to get some advice into how to resolve the issue. Machine info: [code] [root at VIRTCENT07:~] #cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.6 (Final) [root at VIRTCENT07:~] #uname -a Linux VIRTCENT07 2.6.18-238.el5xen #1 SMP Thu Jan 13 17:49:40 EST

Hello list, I was able to get passive mode worked out. I'm really glad I was able to do this. I'm able to log into the ftp server, list directories, enter subdirectories and upload/download files. However my next task is to enable virtual users using mysql. I have installed proftpd-mysql and enabled the sql modules in the config. I found a good article on how to do this here:

Hey list, Sorry for all the questions today. But I am trying to wrap up this ftp business and still having some issues. I appreciate your input. SELinux is temporarily disabled (until I can work this all out) and I am now able to log into the FTP server.

Below is a cut and past from my log files that are sent to me. This is from the last day that proftpd worked correctly. I'm not sure why proftpd was restarted as the log states: ################### LogWatch 5.2.2 (06/23/04) #################### Processing Initiated: Sun Feb 19 09:02:02 2006 Date Range Processed: yesterday Detail Level of Output: 0 Logfiles

I must be missing the point here somehow. From my simple mind I think that two things would be needed - first a mod, e.g., mod_sshd, or better an addition to mod_auth and mod_proxy so that a URL could be used to initiate contact to an sshd server elsewhere. The mod_auth part could/should be used to verity the credentials to used - basically setting up the VPN between ssh and httpd as ssh; the

I'm setting up a ftp server. I need to be able to have people have a non interactive login through a web browser into a chrooted directory i.e. ftp://somewhere.com. I also need to have a URL that will auto login a user to a chrooted directory. These chrooted directories will be RO for all anonymous access. That said I also need to have a staff account that has upload rights to these

Has anyone attempted to make SFTP on ProFTPD with SELinux work? I'd like to keep SELinux enabled on this particular system, but I prefer ProFTPD's SFTP solution over OpenSSH.

Hi, My ftpd is being abused. Maximum login attempts exceeded from hosts: ::ffff:64.251.22.142[::ffff:64.251.22.142] : 24197 Time(s) I had came across an article stating that proftpd with mod wrap can actually block these IP using denyhosts. I had googled but I did not see any proftpd rpm with mod wrap. Is there anyone with a copy would like to share? Or can someone share a spec file, so I

Hi Peoples, I'm still beating my head with the Proftpd although I have solved my orininal issue. That turned out to be an iptables issue and I'm beginning to wonder if iptables is playing with me again. I have an FTP server that allows anonymous downloads and with specific accounts able to upload to the anonymous directory. The problem is, those users cannot upload. I have

Hello, I am setting up ProFTPd daemon (from EPEL repository) under CentOS 5.2 and I need encrypted connection. Daemon is configured perfectly, there is no problem - if iptables is off connection is smoothly established, but when iptables is on, connection in FTP client ends on command LIST without response. Last command with response (positive) is PASV. Thank you for your replies Martin ??astn?
