Hi; Now that it's installed, how do I start it and add a user? I can hardly believe there is *no* documentation! TIA, Victor -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/attachments/20091105/78d77424/attachment-0004.html>

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; Since I decided to "yum remove openssl", genius that I am (not!), I managed to screw up the OS so badly the server co. had to rebuild it for me <:-) These good people backed everything up very well, so the damage was minimal. Now I'm trying to rebuild MySQL. I did the "yum install mysql" no problem. However... [root at 13gems old]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start -bash:

Hi; I installed mysql using yum, so I have an /etc/init.d/mysqld file. For some reason, however, mysqld doesn't boot on reboot of the machine. Please advise.

Hi ALL I'm using vsftpd as FTP server, and I'd like to chroot my FTP users to their home dir.

Hi; I went to install some s/w and it looked like there was a problem with openssl. So I decided to uninstall it (yum remove) and reinstall it. When I went to reinstall, I discovered I couldn't use yum. Then I discovered: [root at 13gems qmail-1.03]# yum install openssl -bash: /usr/bin/yum: No such file or directory [root at 13gems qmail-1.03]# man yum Floating point exception [root at 13gems

I am in the process of setting up a new server. In the process I cannot remember what I need to set so that an FTP user cannot move upward in the directory tree of the user's directory. The FTP server is VSFTP. The user's directory is owned by the user and the permissions are 775. Isn't there a setting in httpd.conf to prevent that? Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext

When I tried to download the files from the ftp server with wan IP address or the dyndns address it downloads some files and disconnects.

Hi! I'm trying to figure out what's going wrong with a "simple" FTPS setup and VSFTPD. I saw references on Google and tried, and tried, and tried... without success. I'll start by explaining my situation: I have a WEB development server behind a firewall. It's currently only for the intranet. We now have an external company that will have to do a new website

I am moving from a server from running Red Hat 7.2 (with ProFTP) to Centos 3 (with vsFTP). There is a setting in ProFTP that lets me set the default ftp login directory for a specific user and I would like to do the same with vsFTP. The reason being is I have a 'webadmin' user that I use for uploading web content. I am thinking I could make the home directory of the webadmin /var/www in

I am in the process of bring up Centos 5.5. My ftp server is vsftp. When I add a user (e.g. brian), the "brian" directory is owned by "brian" and is in the "brian" group with 700 permissions. However, using a FTP client, the user "brian" can view all of the directories. I do not see any directive in vsftpd.conf to limit this. What have I missed?

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:-

That' the only change I know of on the system. And I didn't have any problems with it. Today when I try to ftp, i enabled it in xinetd.d (with disable = no and a "service
