I had done this before, but after reloading I'm sure 100% sure of the
syntax I used.  Here's a snippet of the message I received in here
explaining how to do what you want.

-START

You can use DefaultRoot to restrict users:

 
http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-Chroot.h
tml

Also, you can impose fine-grained per-FTP-command user access control
using a combination of Directory and Limit sections:

 
http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-Limit.ht
ml
 
http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-Director
y.html

 I can work on the Virtual domain part of it after this is resolved, if

 it is.

When you get to this point, the following might be useful:

 You might consider not even running FTP, since you're running 
 ssh you might as well use secure copy (scp). You can add your 
 user to the apache group and assuming the group has write 
 access to /var/www/html you can
 do:
 
 scp filetobecopied [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/www/html
 
 There's probably a gui out there for this (try freshmeat).
 
 I say to use scp just because if you can use it there's no 
 need to run another service. But if you must run ftp, check 
 out the sample configs on the proftpd site 
 http://www.proftpd.org/docs/example-conf.html.  I believe what 
 you're looking for is the DefaultRoot directive. You may need 
 to set up a group that has write access to /var/www/html and 
 set default root to ~ (chroot/jail) for all users *except* 
 members of your new group. Don't hold me to it cause it's 
 been awhile since I messed with proftp.

[newbie] DNS, Iptables, etc

2004-09-30 Thread gcobb
I can't get port 53 open.  I suppose this is just part of my problem.  I
upgraded from 8.2 to 10.0.  I can't get out on the web for starters and
I ran NMAP tonight and 53 isn't open.  Shorewall isn't installed.  I
have ipchains and iptables, no bind, no named.  

I noticed when I boot I see some error about iptables and modprobe and
the kernel, but I don't know exactly what it said.  I can't do iptables
-status or whatever.  It's version 1.2.9 by the way.  I tried listing my
tables and this is what shows up from a command line:

FATAL: Error inserting ip_tables
(/lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdk/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko.gz):
Device or resource busy
iptables v1.2.9: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who?
(do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

Do I need to find a newer version of iptables or what?  I never had this
problem, but then I never upgraded either.  I am thinking this is just
part of what I have to resolve before I get 53 open, unless someone has
a better idea, and if you do I'd appreciate it greatly.  This has been
driving me nuts for a week or more.

Thanks,

[newbie] Postfix

2003-01-28 Thread gcobb
I have recently done an install of 8.2.  I selected the Postfix package.
I've done very little with Postfix in the way of changing the
configuration.  I created a few accounts on the server and from a system
that is on the same internal network I can send/receive properly.
Here's how it goes:  From this computer on the same hub, I can use an
email account I created on that computer and send mail through it to
someone else at any random email address.  If I go to a computer off
this internet anywhere I can try the same thing and it tells me I can't
relay.  Restricting relaying is fine, I just don't know what to do in
order to get authorized accounts to be able to use their email account
as they would any other.  

Any help would be appreciated

[newbie] SSH and FTP

2003-01-28 Thread gcobb
I use SSH and at times when off the internal network I get disconnected
as if I were packet flooding or something along those lines.  One
instance is where I was scrolling through the error_log file.  If I am
not here on the PC on the same network I can be disconnected if I scroll
too fast, per say.

In the same aspect, if I use FTP on this computer I'm on to send to the
server (same internal network again) I can send or receive anything I
want.  I created a few accounts for a few friends who I had try to send
up a 4 meg file.  It would never complete but give an FTP error.  It'll
do this on send or receive.

I am thinking these are related.  I don't know why both would do this.
It's almost as if I have some type filtering set up.  I DO have a
Linksys router between the computers and the ISP, but no special
configuration that I know of set up on that.

If anyone has ANY idea of how I can correct these things please let me
know.

Thank You!

It may just be that you don't have DNS entries set up.  Are you pinging an

you http to that IP address instead of the domain name?  When you telnet,
are you using an IP or domain?
Normally as far as I know when you can ping an IP and not a name it's DNS

Load Drakeconf, go to Network Configuration, then Basic Host Information.
You can click on Adapter 1, make sure it's enabled with DHCP (if you're not

  I have the same problem. I finally managed to connect to the

  One problem I have found with DHCP in Linux is that sometimes
 my machine

  this I have put it into a shell script in my path so that I can
  run it with a
  simple command like 'online' instead of '/sbin/dhcpcd -d -n -h
 coXX-a

  five minutes,
  so that if I lose my connection I will be reconnected
  automatically within

RE: [newbie] 7.2 is painfully slow

2000-11-05 Thread gcobb

A 500 MHz processor speed should be fine.  I didn't think anyone used 32
Megs of Ram anymore. :)  In my view, 32 isn't enough for Windoze, Linux or
anything else.  I went from 64 to 128 recently and it was a large difference
in speed.  Do yourself a favor and get more memory.  Regardless of what OS
you're using you'll find it a good investment.

Netscape is Netscape and they all look the same in a sense.  You may have
just clicked on a link and brought up the internal browser in KDE.

 Subject: [newbie] 7.2 is painfully slow


 I have just changed over from Corel to Mandrake 7.2. I have had a
 couple problems with it. Has anyone else felt that it is very
 slow, whether it is in KDE 2 or Gnome. KDE 2 is extremely slower
 than Gnome. It takes around 2 minutes just to start linuxconf or
 the control center. If its me expecting to much I would like to
 know because it is driving me crazy. Its possible it could my
 computer not having enough power also but I dont know. Its a
 Pentium 500 with 32 megs ram so I would think that should be good
 enough for linux. Also, Is there anyway of Netscape look nice and
 colorful. Every linux Distro I used has a nice looking Netscape
 that has colors. Mandrake has this boring grey browser with all
 black buttons, It was the same way in 7.0. If anyone knows how to
 fix these I would be grateful.Matt Mahoney

RE: [newbie] My continuing cable modem woes...

2000-11-04 Thread gcobb

I'm not too sure why anyone other than me has been having this problem. :)
I know almost zilch about KDE and Mandrake, other than I've been able to
install it successfully time after time.  The only thing I did to get my
cable modem to work is make sure the card existed as eth0 and put in my DNS
numbers.  I don't think there was anything other than that to do with it,
maybe change the hostmane or something.  I don't think I've ever lost
connection, whether it was a USR modem or cable modem.  The ony thing I had
a problem with as far as my network card was when the Linksys router I have
didn't want to hand me an IP.  I thought the install was borked but it was
just that lousy router. :)

 I have the same problem. I finally managed to connect to the
 Internet with my
 cable modem by typing '/sbin/dhcpcd -d -n -h coXX-a eth0',
 where coXX
 is the client ID, in a root console. This requires you to have the dhcpcd
 package installed; it is available on your Mandrake CD.

 One problem I have found with DHCP in Linux is that sometimes my machine
 loses its network connection, and I have to rerun this command. To combat
 this I have put it into a shell script in my path so that I can
 run it with a
 simple command like 'online' instead of '/sbin/dhcpcd -d -n -h coXX-a
 eth0'. Also, I have set the command to run as a cron job every
 five minutes,
 so that if I lose my connection I will be reconnected
 automatically within
 five minutes.

 If you want to log-off the Internet, run 'dhcpcd -k eth0'. I have
 placed this
 in a script called 'offline' to make things easier.

 I was about ready to buy a 15 GB hard disk but then I read

 My question is: could somebody give me a rough ceiling on hard drive
 capacity that can be handled by this sytem:
 Pentium II 300 MHz on an ASUS P2E-M motherboard, with 64 MB RAM

 I've exhausted the motherboard's manual and the ASUS website [which says
 next to nothing about any of their downloadable BIOSes], and I'm about to
 go nuts from reading as much as I can on hard drives and BIOSes, but I'm
 still unable to nail the specifics on my system [do I even have to, in the
 first place?].

 I've run across a lot of conflicting opinions about whether my
 system could
 handle anything larger than 8 gig. None of the people I've talked to
 face-to-face seem to know for sure, though.

 I apologize if this isn't exactly Linux-related. But I need a new hard
 drive soon on which to install LM so I can get started :-)

On boot are you getting errors saying your card didn't initialize?  If you
didn't, can you ping the card?  If you have more than one system on a LAN
can you ping another system?

Go into your Basic network settings for the adapter and make sure you have a
card type selected for the kernel towards the bottom.  If you can ping as
needed, put your machine name and DNS entries in as well.  If your card is
working that should help.

I have a cable modem with a Linksys router behind it feeding 3 systems.  The
4th was going to be another Linux box.  The router does DHCP with internal
addressing.

 What steps did you take to set up the NICs? Did you do this manually, in
 DrakConf, LinuxConf? What networks cards are you using? Does you
 router have  enough IPs in the block to satisfy all the clients? Are
these IPs
 "real" or  masqued/internal-block IPs?

Upon install the 3C509 cards were installed.  I just had to select 3C509 on
the Kernel mode field.  I got an address subsequent to that point, so the
system was in working order.  I have more than enough addresses to hand out.

I couldn't get the second system to get an address while the first one was
running.
The card wouldn't initialize on boot because it couldn't get an address.

If I put another Windows system in its place I can get a 4th IP.

[newbie] Adding Partition

1999-11-14 Thread gcobb

Hello,

I just installed Mandrake 6.1 (said 6.5 on the box) and it was an
easy install.  I didn't stop to think that I needed more than just 900
Megs. 

I'm going to free up a partition that is now being used for data
storage.  This is just under a gig.  My first question is:  How do I
set this partition up for Linux? I originally used Disk Druid on the
install.  If I knew how to run this program again, I'd add it that
way.

As someone in another message asked, how would I move information
to the empty volume so I won't run out of space on the install drive?

I'm not running a service or anything where security or whatever
is a concern.  I installed it all to one drive except for a 100 Meg
swap volume.

I have the system masquerading IPs across my LAN here at home. 
That part is fine.  I just can't figure for the life of me how to see
the information on the other 3 systems, which consist of 8 drives
(HPFS and FAT32).  I read today how to access a NFS, but I didn't have
any luck.  


Thanks!!!
