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:)
