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

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:-

Hi all, I have a filesystem which I need to make available through ftp ( vsftpd ). I have this as separate filesystem as it needs to be available through apache and NFS also. It's our local mirror. I've set up vsftpd and put a test directory in /var/ftp/pub and it works. However I can't seem to get it to see the separate /mirrors filesystem. I've tried using symlinks as

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)

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

My vsftpd was working. I use it configured via xinetd and turn it off (disabled = yes) when I'm not using it to keep the bad guys from hammering on it. Recently I upgraded to 4.2 (via yum update). 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

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

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

Hi Damien, Thank you. I read the rationale. Just to summarize, a user writeable chroot target is considered dangerous if: 1) the user has another way of gaining non-chrooted access to the system 2) is able to create hardlinks to setuid-binaries outside of the chroot tree 3) there are bugs somewhere that allow privilige escalation or remote execution of other programs While all these

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

Hello I hope I finally made the changes right for my contribution to Wiki How To.

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

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,
