Hello list!
Well I have delved back into my proftpd config in the hopes of resolving my
issues and having a working server. :)
I believe I have the passive mode issue that I was expereriencing last time
mostly worked out. But there are still a couple of things going on with this
config that I was hoping to run by you in hopes of finding a solution.
If I execute an ftp session on localhost from the ftp server itself, I can log
in and the ftp client does not complain when I try to list a directory.
[root at VIRTCENT29:~] #/usr/bin/ftp localhost
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
220 FTP Server ready.
Name (localhost:root): bluethundr
331 Password required for bluethundr
Password:
230 User bluethundr logged in
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls
227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,183,201).
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
226 Transfer complete
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.
However if I log into the external address of the FTP server the login fails.
Name (snjh.net:root): bluethundr
331 Password required for bluethundr
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.
There is no activity in the logs when I log in remotely. I dont believe it to be
a firewall issue because iptables on the local ftp server has been disabled by
stopping the service and the router has been configured to open port 21 and the
passive ports I have selected (60000-65535).
I have verified that port 21 is open with nmap:
[root at VIRTCENT29:~] #nmap -p 21 snjh.net
Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2011-08-22 20:39 EDT
Interesting ports on pool-71-187-203-194.nwrknj.fios.verizon.net
(71.187.203.194):
PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp open ftp
Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.371 seconds
And it looks like the system is prompting for a password, but authentication
fails. But why it only fails when I attempt this remotely and it works when I do
this locally is a bit puzzling.
And if I mount an NFS directory login fails on localhost too:
[root at VIRTCENT29:~] #mount nas2:/mnt/home /home
[root at VIRTCENT29:~] #/usr/bin/ftp localhost
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
220 FTP Server ready.
Name (localhost:root): bluethundr
331 Password required for bluethundr
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
ftp>
This is what happens in the extended log when I have the NFS partition mounted:
[root at VIRTCENT29:~] #tail -f /var/log/proftpd/pftpd-extended.log
::ffff:127.0.0.1 UNKNOWN nobody [22/Aug/2011:20:42:49 -0400] "USER
bluethundr" 331 -
And if I unmount the NFS partition, I am able to log in again:
[root at VIRTCENT29:~] #umount /home
[root at VIRTCENT29:~] #/usr/bin/ftp localhost
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
220 FTP Server ready.

331 Password required for bluethundr

And this is what happens in the logs once I am able to log in again
[root at VIRTCENT29:~] #tail -f /var/log/proftpd/pftpd-extended.log

Im including my config below.. I was hoping someone could provide a clue as to
why this is hapening! thank you very much in advance and best regards!
