similar to: CentOS 5 and fail2ban

Tonight I added fail2ban to one of my webservers to test it out. Here is my step by step, as best as I could figure it out...documentation a bit sketchy. feel free to add anything to it or suggest changes. I tried to set it up to deal with ssh, http authentication, dovecot, ftp, and postfix I could find no working example for centos 6 and there is no fail2ban book available to peruse. So,

I recall others on this list are using fail2ban to block brute force login attempts. Packages are from the EPEL repo, so I'm just sharing some knowledge here. For about two months now I've had a CentOS 6.3 box (web host) in production that occasionally is ftp brute forced. Oddly enough fail2ban wasn't nabbing the perpetrators. I found that the iptables chain for VSFTP isn't

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 all, If I try yum grouplist "FTP Server" I get the next large output: Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: OpenIPMI x86_64

HI, I am facing problem in connecting ftp from the windows client. CENTOS5U1 Running vsftp daemon. From linux client i am able to upload and download. When i do an ftp upload of any files or folders from windows command line i am getting below error . *vsftp 553 Could not create file* *NOTE: SELINUX IS DISABLED AND THERE IS NO FIREWALL RUNNING* See my user permission and ownership details

Centos 6, stock installation, no additional repos added. vsftp works fine in regular mode, going to ssl I got issues. I get as far as 'directory listing' and it dies. It times out and disconnects. file: /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config added: IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_ftp" (without this line, ftp normally fails, afraid it may be causing issues with the ssl) iptables -A

Hi, I am using LLVM to compile vsftp to native x86 ELF code. One of it's object file (sysdeputil) contains inline asm so cannot be compiled by gcc-3.4 frontend. So I decided to firstly link together the llvm objects and libcrtend and compile it to native .o file and then link it with sysdeputil.o . The Makefile is sth like this: vsftpd: $(OBJS) gccld -r -native -o vsftpd.o $(OBJS)

No doubt I am making some stupid mistake in the log file, but I cannot get vsftp to create a log file showing the transfers. Here is my conf file: # Example config file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf # # The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file # loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable. # Please see vsftpd.conf.5 for all compiled in defaults. # # READ

I have a vsftp server hosted on custom dyndns site. We have a 4mb ADSL connection. 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. Please find below an extract from the log file (ace ftp client). I would appreciate if someone could guide me, possibly with a solution for this problem. Many thanks

Hi, I want to setup vsftp on centos 4.5. 2 types of ftp. they are active and pasive. What is the default type ftp type o CentOS ? Is is PASIVE ftp? in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf, I found below line. What should I do for below line? # Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data). connect_from_port_20=YES Should I COMMENT it out? I need a very secure ftp service. YOUR

I have setup an ftp server with VSFTP over Centos 4.4. Everything works fine except when I login though IE it doen' ask for the username password but by default it goes to Pub folder. (/var/ftp/pub). I need to access this through view--> open ftp folder in separate window -> file --> login. In short the server doesn't prompt for username when I type the ftp address on the

vsftpd-2.0.1-5 I am trying to get vsftpd to start with ssl_enabled=yes and not having much success. The config file works when ssl_enabled=No and does not work when ssl_enabled=Yes. I have tried setting the following: rsa_cert_file=/usr/share/ssl/certs/inet06cert.pem which is the public certificate and this: rsa_cert_file=/usr/share/ssl/private/inet06key.pem which is the server private

Just a random stab in the dark, but CEntOS6 was iptables, and CentOS7 is firewalld. They take different fail2ban packages. CentOS6 = fail2ban CentOS7 = fail2ban-firewalld Are you sure you are running the correct fail2ban package for your firewall? (I screwed this up myself before I noticed and fixed it...) Good Luck!

Hi Folks, I recently received a complaint regarding the vsFTP server I'm running on a CentOS 4.x box. The complaint was that it is improperly responding to the LIST command - it is not returning hidden (period prefixed) files in the directory listing. I investigated and found that vsFTPd would only return hidden files in the directory listing when it received the command "LIST

I was not sure why vsftp (or any other ftp software) was installed as part of the webserver. some quick notes, hope it helps anyone else having an issue. So I yum installed it. I had a bear of a time. But I finally got it to work doing the following. I had to add ip_conntrack_ftp to my iptables-config file or it would not work IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_ftp" I had to add this

I'm trying to set up anonymous ftp using vsftp. I want to be able to allow uploads. The anonymous id is userid "ftp". The ~ftp/ directory is actually owned by root, but ~ftp/pub is owned by ftp. Here's the vsftpd.conf: anonymous_enable=YES anon_upload_enable=YES local_enable=NO write_enable=NO local_umask=022 dirmessage_enable=YES

Hi - I have a ftp server running version 2.0.7 of vsftpd on a CentSO 5.2 server using iptables behind a Linksys router. The setup works for UNIX machines on either side of the Linksys router. For the Windows machines it only works if they're behind the Linksys router - ftp does NOT work if they're outside the Linksys router. I'd like to solve two problems: (1) make ftp work
