[expert] wu-ftpd and (import / NFS mount )
Dear Experts.. I made a symbolic link within the anonymous tree, but it doesn't work... (I can't get the directory ..), .. yes, I made a mistake, because the symbolic links are relative to my active root.. so, the solution, following the FAQ's, is: ..." If you want to access files/directories/diskspace outside your chrooted environment, you'll have to import it using directory loopback mounts (available on at least Solaris) or using NFS mounts (available on most other operating systems but they have a performance impact)..." ...well, I have been trying to mount , but without any success.. I really don't know how to: ..."import it using directory loopback " (import ? ) or: ..."using NFS mounts .." (does exist a loopback option ?)

[expert] wu-ftpd problems with Mandrake 7.2
Hello experts, I've got two problems with the FTP server under Mandrake 7.2. Firstly, I think I must have changed something, because FTP connections are suddenly being refused. [root@server /etc]# ftp localhost Connected to localhost.localdomain. 220 server FTP server (Version wu-2.6.1(1) Wed Jan 10 07:07:00 CET 2001) ready. Name (localhost:root): daniel 331 Password required for daniel. Password: 530 Login incorrect. Login failed. In /var/log/messages, I get: May 21 10:47:57 server ftpd[2251]: ACCESS DENIED (not in any class) TO localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] May 21 10:47:57 server ftpd[2251]: FTP LOGIN REFUSED (access denied) FROM localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1], daniel What does 'not in any class' mean? It used to work OK. The local machines are all in /etc/hosts.allow of course. The second problem is: due to having a dial-up internet connection with only occasional acess to the DNS of my ISP, when I FTP across my local network I have to wait until the DNS lookup times out. Is there a way around this? I already have the local machines listed in /etc/hosts. Cheers Daniel James News + Web Editor LinuxUser magazine http://www.linuxuser.co.uk

If you're using the updated version via MandrakeUpdaet, please upgrade again if this is for any version of Mandrake less than 7.2. The pam configuration files (/etc/pam.d/ftp) are different between 7.2 and 7.1 and the 7.2 file was mistakenly used in all of the updates instead of just the 7.2 update. This was corrected today, so please try to update to the .6mdk for 6.x and 7.0/7.1 if that is what version of Mandrake you are using. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD - Danen Consulting Serviceswww.danen.net, www.freezer-burn.org - MandrakeSoft, Inc.

[expert] wu-ftpd problems
Hello I'm having problems with wu-ftpd. When users attempt to login they get a message "Connected to my.domain.com" and then nothing. I think this indicates inetd is working but cannot hand off the task to wu-ftpd. I have installed the latest version. In fact, I had no problem with the old one. When I tried reinstalling the old one it didn't work. I think a config file has been changed but WHAT? and WHERE? When I run a local port scan it shows port 21 up and running (again indicating inetd is working fine ). --Terry Tremaine
[expert] Wu-FTPD and Guest Accounts-LM 7.1
I need help! I have been trying to create a guest account with only ftp login privileges directed to its own /home dir. I have followed the instructions from the man pages, the Wu sites, the RedHat Linux Bible, and even my FreeBSD manual. I have built and installed wu-ftpd 2.6.1(3). Real user logins are ok, no problems, but when I use my "penguin" guest acct I am unable to login locally and remotely. According to the doc's I've read they say: vipw penguin:504:503:x:guest acct:/home/penguin/pub:/etc/ftponly (format might be wrong but in reality it jives with the rest of the passwd file...I'm at a win terminal and couldn't remember it exactly) should work. /etc/ftponly is supposed to be a "shell" inhibitor of some sort and seems to be a myth everywhere except in the docs. I have tried replacing it with other "shells" like /bin/false, etc, but to no avail. Starting with a fresh user and home dir, I get the message "230-cannot not set guest user privileges" or something to that effect and after tinkering I can get it to log in. But the next thing is "Segmentation fault" locally upon the first command past login and logging in remotely gives tells me that passive mode is refused and logs me out. I do have "guestuser penguin" added to my /etc/ftpaccess file and the permissions are setup correctly for an ftp dir (drwxr-sr-x) as far as I can tell...what is the deal here? it's just the guest user that won't work and I can't find anything to describe a problem with the recent versions of Wu-FTPD and LM-Google is my best friend but I'm ready to murder it in frustration ;) Maybe it's not seeing the bin, etc, lib dirs? In any case, is there a good free FTP daemon out there that supports guest accounts and has the features of Wu?Thanks:)
Re: [expert] Wu-FTPD 2.6.1(1): Problem with creating a guest user(Mandrake 7.1)
Instead of using wu-ftpd, I'd recommend installing proftpd. It's more secure, easier to configure, and is more flexible. I think you can find an RPM on the Cooker site.

[expert] Wu-FTPD 2.6.1(1): Problem with creating a guest user(Mandrake 7.1)
I recently upgraded my wu-ftpd to 2.6.1 from 2.6.0. I never really gave a though to configuring it previously as I didn't use it. Now that I plan to use it, I want to create a guest user...here's what I did: 1.under bash: useradd penguin passwd penguin (and all the good pass change stuff omitted here) 2.under vipw: penguin:x:502:506:guest acct:/home/penguin/./incoming:/etc/ftponly (supposed to set ./incoming as the root dir for the acct and /etc/ftponly to prevent other command shell activation) 3 Added the line "/etc/ftponly" to /etc/shells 4. Create dirs for guest user: cp -r /home/ftp/* /home/penguin/ chgrp /home/penguin/pub 5. In /etc/ftpaccess added "guestuser penguin" and this, according the the redhat linux bible and other wu-docs, is supposed to create a usable guest user for ftp services only. But where does /etc/ftponly come from? it's not in the src or rpm packages...is this an actual shell, a list of permissions, or what? When I look at the permissions for /home/penguin/pub/incoming I see "drwxr-sr-x"what is this 's' in the group permissions? I get the message upon password entry under ftp, "550 - Can't set guest privileges Login failed." for the penguin guest acct. chmod does nothing, creating an /etc/ftponly file doesn't work -- _ Logos: The Word of the Aeon - "I shall endure for all time" -Frater Perdurabo- _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

Previously anonymous ftp's were accepted even if you did not install anonftp, this was due to the ftp server rpm not includeing a ftpaccess file. I'll have to find a sane way to edit it so we don't get the file conflict :(

[expert] wu-ftpd
Sorry, already posted this one, but I don't think it got through. If this is a redundant post, please excuse me. Hey, anybody else notice some problems with the latest 6.1 wu-ftpd update? After I updated, users with passwords served up via NIS could no longer get an ftp connection (login failed, incorrect password). Wu-ftpd 2.5x doesn't have this problem, but I'd really like to get away from the buffer overrun of the week without opening up our central NIS server to FTP requests. -- Lee Burnside -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.phys.ttu.edu/~tljlb/ "Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage." --The Bard

[expert] wu-ftpd/Bero
Ok, after many attempts to get either wu-ftdp or BeroFTPD to work (as shipped with Mandrake 6) I've given up. I've read the howto's, read the posts here and searched dozens of web sites to no avail. I think there's some fundamental item left out of the docs that is really the problem with both daemons. Shadow passwords maybe? I don't know. All I know is: after following the installation instructions verbatim, setting up the various /etc/ftp* files and restarting inetd (even rebooting) both wu and Bero give errors, and do not function properly. This is a complete, fresh install of Mandrake 6 - not an upgrade from another version. Here's the problem - you can connect to the ftp server ok, but uploads bomb out with error 553 (Permission Denied). Before you ask any questions - read on. Since I need a working ftp daemon to do upgrades on my lan, I had no choice but to uninstall wu and Bero, and install the version shipped with Redhat 5.2 - this version worked perfectly after installing it. (wu-ftpd-2.4.2b18-2) Mind you, I changed NOTHING, configuration-wise or else. Only uninstalled and downgraded. What are the differences between this version of wu and the one shipped with Mandrake 6? Also - during the RPM install process I've noticed this error quite frequently (only on the systems I have running M6) error: failed dependencies: /bin/sh is needed by xxx Easily worked around, but annoying nonetheless.
