It's just that I always forget to check SELinux when I have these problems and go checking lots of other things. Instead what I should do is set SELinux to permissive and make sure it's not a SELinux mis-configuration.

That's probably it. The SELinux problem strikes again. If you hate SELinux that much, just turn it off. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Vsftpd problem
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 below in /var/ftp/pub. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 26 10:53 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 22 12:11 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25 Jun 22 12:21 .message drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 22 15:25 TEST lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root8 Jun 26 10:53 mirrors -> /mirrors I this case the TEST directory works but the mirrors directory does not. ftp> cd mirrors 550 Failed to change directory. I've also tried using mount --bind to remount the the /mirrors filesystem as /var/ftp/pub/mirrors. When I do this I can see the contents of /var/ftp/pub/mirrors drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 22 15:25 TEST drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Jun 23 07:54 mirrors ls -al /var/ftp/pub/mirrors/ drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Jun 23 07:54 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 26 11:04 .. drwxr-xr-x 9 1000 1000 4096 May 18 00:19 centos drwxr-xr-x 6 ftp 803 4096 Mar 15 13:11 config-linux drwxr-xr-x 4 apache apache 4096 Sep 21 2006 custom-repos However when I try to ftp to it I can't see the mirrors directory -rw-r--r--1 ftp ftp25 Jun 22 12:21 .message drwxr-xr-x2 ftp ftp 4096 Jun 22 15:25 TEST Finally I've tried mounting it directly under /var/ftp/pub/mirrors -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25 Jun 22 12:21 .message drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 22 15:25 TEST drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Jun 23 07:54 mirrors But when I ftp into the box again I can't see the mirrors directory ftp> ls 227 Entering Passive Mode (10,220,1,157,168,142) 150 Here comes the directory listing. drwxr-xr-x2 ftp ftp 4096 Jun 22 15:25 TEST 226 Directory send OK.
