similar to: vsftpd failing since upgrade to 4.2

Hi all, I'm sure this is a quick fix, but I've not found the answer yet. On a fresh install of CentOS5, I need to use an alternate port for ftp. Currently vsftpd wants the standard port which is in use by another system on my NATted network. So...how does one go about reconfiguring vsftpd to do this? I've looked in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf to no avail. In my Slackware days,

I'm setting up a postfix server using "The Book of Postfix". In ch 15 there is a section on testing saslauthd which I can't get to work. I can get it to work using shadow password authentication, but it fails on pam. I don't kow squat about troubleshooting pam. Any PAM wizzes out there that can help? I saw a unrelated post talking about something needing to be in the pam

I have 1 Centos server V4.x already running VSFTPD and when the user logs in they get chrooted to the home directory, I have installed the same config files to a second server (again Centos V4.x) and have setup the same user on the second server but the user does not get chrooted to the home directory but is placed in /var/ftp/pub and cannot upload file. The files I copied are:-

greetings today i was expanding my knowledge of vsftpd on a low traffic CentOS 4 production environment server i have fyi, i was working on learning to setup a chroot environment by the simple editing of /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf so, as i normally do when i start making changes i did this cd /etc/vsftpd/ cp -a vsftpd.conf bak-vsftpd.conf then i made the edits in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf that i

I have an up-to-date CentOS 6 with reasonable amount of ftp activity (a dozen of network cameras uploading images every second 24x7). The first issue was that the whole /var filesystem was about to get full, because of huge ftp daemon log. vsftpd.conf says: # You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown # below. xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log Ok, the above

Hi folks, I can't seem to log into my system via vsftpd. All other services using PAM are fine...Am I missing something simple? ftp> user (username) user 331 Please specify the password.

Hi ALL I'm using vsftpd as FTP server, and I'd like to chroot my FTP users to their home dir. How can I do it? i.e. "jailing" them in their home dir... at the moment I have the following issues the user when they login to ftp server they go to the main directory /var/ftp/ /etc/passwd ... sdc:x:501:501::/var/ftp/sdc:/bin/bash ase:x:502:501::/var/ftp/ase:/bin/bash

Hi, This update is for the HowTo at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Chroot_Vsftpd_with_non-system_users Regarding two of the scripts provided: vsftpd_virtual_config.sh and vsftpd_virtual_config_withTLS.sh: The configuration additions it makes to PAM do not work on 64-bit systems. In vsftpd_virtual_config.sh (Lines 55 & 56) and vsftpd_virtual_config_withTLS.sh (Lines 123 & 124) should be

The proposed subject of Wiki contribution: Chroot vsftpd with non-system users The proposed location of Wiki contribution: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Chroot_Vsftpd_with_non-system_users I propose this Wiki to give user choice that they can select whether virtual users and system account coexist in vsftpd system. The shell file vsftpd_virtual_config.sh should also adjust to make this function

Greets ... I am not getting it. I have samba (old one, 3.0.22-11-SUSE-CODE10) in an ADS-context, winbind works OK ... I am trying to connect vsftpd to winbind via PAM, this works TOO GOOD ;-) currently I am able to login to vsftpd with ANY password, that's bad. I am not understanding that PAM-stuff and I have some pressure to get that ftp-server up, so please would someone help me out? My

Hello everyone, Please forgive the exclamation points but I have been battling this one off and on for about four days now. Sorry for the cross post. It all started with a box of IP 501s. I contacted my reseller and obtained the latest BootRom and SIP firmware. Unzipped, configured, copied over to my FTP server (running AstLinux, of course). The phone booted, so far so good. Updated

I've got a problem with vsftpd on a new CentOS system. Most users can login and list and everything but when they want to transfer files the client says "transfer failed" or so. However, it works fine with two users. Of course, these two have been created by me and used only by me. So, I didn't detect the problem before other users tried to upload. I tried with the command

hey friends, I am using vsftpd version 2.0.1 on Centos4.0. I am trying to create some virtual users who can upload,download and delete the files in their particular directories. I followed the below link to create the virutal users http://linuxsir.zahui.net/html/23/43449.htm I have created a user called "tester" and the entries in the tester file (/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_user_conf/tester)

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with G4U (Ghost for Unix), and I need to setup a local FTP server in order to get it to work. # yum groupinstall "FTP Server" --> installed vsftpd Here's what I'd like to do : * no anonymous access * only one user (user 'install' / pass 'install') The machine I'm installing it on has a static IP ok

I'm setting up a local mirror server on a CentOS4 box. I want it to serve files over http, nfs and ftp. I've set this up with the mirrored directories on a separate partition. I've got the http and nfs working but am having some trouble with ftp. I'm using vsftpd as the ftp server. I can log in to the ftp server and get to the pub (/var/ftp/pub) directory. However when I try

If someone could give advice - I am running Centos 4 and on it I am running among other things vsftpd. Today I noticed the ftp services wasn't running, when I went to restart it it says it starts, but there is no pid for it. when I do a status on it, it gives a message saying "vsftpd is dead but subsys is locked" I have tried removing the lock file and no joy. I even just resorted to

FTP users can delete files in their home directory they don't possess (including files belonging to root:root!) with vsftpd. I have reproduced that with vsftpd 1.1 on Suse and 2.0 on CentOS. I don't think this should happen at all. I can't see that the documentation at http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html mentions this problem at all. How can I stop this? Kai

Hi, We have patched Centos 4.4 to work properly with the recent DST changes, but our customers are reporting wrong FTP client timestamps based on which areas they live in. What are the two main mechanisms in Centos that control time? I know about /etc/localtime and TZDATA, is there something we may have missed? Or is this perhaps a VSFTPd thing and I could go bug that list? To be clear,
