Proftpd Link To File Server Lost

That wasn't always the case. Just check and make sure, you may not have to do anything.I'm going to guess your problem is this. Quote:ftp:x:14:50::/home/ftp:/bin/falseYou can't log in when the login shell is /bin/false. It needs to be a valid shell like /bin/bash or whatever you like to use./bin/false is a fairly new configuration setting in Slackware. It's an extra security measure to prevent logins to accounts you haven't configured properly.

When you want to enable these things you have to change the shell to something valid.Post back if you have any more issues. I'll try to check back and make sure we get it working for you.CCTVGuru 12:06 AM.

Code:AnonRequirePassword offRequireValidShell offI'm not quite sure what did you mean by thatCorrect, you don't need a valid login shell to use ftp. But, he mentioned he was trying to use the ftp user. So to login as that user, you need a login shell. But to clarify, he doesn't need a valid login shell to login into the ftp prompt, only the shell prompt.

It was late, and I wasn't thinking clearly.Second, and I think it was Slackware 12.2, most of the system users, like apache, ftp, and many others, had /etc/passwd amended to include /bin/false for logins. Prior, this wasn't added. If I'm remembering right, the accounts were only disabled before. /bin/false was an added layer of protection.One last thing. Why not use sftp or scp to transfer the files? FTP isn't necessary, although the transfer is little faster because the encryption overhead isn't there. Just a thought, but running an FTP server is a little less secure.Remember to check your logs because you will invariably get Dictionary attacks on your FTP server.

You'll get them on your ssh server too, but having only one service to attack is generally better than two. Strong passwords are a must! Easy ones get guessed. These are the logs to check:/var/log/messages/var/log/secure//var/log/proftpd.log (as you configured in logrotate)You also may consider a firewall to help with this if the Dictionary attacks get to be a problem. Here's an example of one I wrote with the help of Martin Wolf on his blog:Sorry for the confusion on /bin/false earlier. Nikosis, thanks for the correction.CCTVGuru 01:50 PM.

Thank you for following up and your concern, meetscott!This FTP.:cry::scratch::mad::confused.I still could NOT come right unfortunately and trying small silly things like experimenting with port forwarding and trying to read around for the recommended best content for proftpd.conf;If you have any working file content please post it here and I'll try edit it!:oPort forwarding was an idea to try hard, because as I said the server is sitting 2 hops away from me (over wireless link).Now I am having another frustrating situation here: Mail services are not right! Sendmail announces.

I'm pasting the contents of my working proftpd.conf file from the /etc directory. There are almost no customizations in it. It's close to the default shipped in Slackware.

I use ftp on my lan all the time because it's faster than ssh. I use ssh outside my lan or for things I don't care about getting sniffed, I'll still use ftp.I'll get back to you on the sendmail configuration. I use that on multiple servers as well. Sendmail is not easy and I was going to point you to but I guess that's down now. I have some notes about Slackware and setting up email either with an ISP available or with MX records. Are you at home through an ISP?

Let me know so I can supply the proper information and specific instructions.Keep in mind. In my opinion, there is nothing more difficult to set up in Linux than sendmail. That's just been my experience and opinion. But the steps are pretty simple once they are laid out for you. Sendmail's configuration difficulty is the reason why so many people are using things like qmail or postfix. Virsh xml serial console. I still use Sendmail and the reference I have on it is over a 1000 pages!

If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections# at once, simply increase this value. I've been very busy lately. Sorry for the delay in checking on this.I wanted to mention that the default install of Slackware should allow you to start the sendmail daemon. It is also important to note that the directory tree leading up to the root or '/' of the file system only be owned and writable by the root user for security reasons. The path leading up to sendmail configuration files can be a security problem if this is not followed.I think there is something wrong with your file system permissions to give you a 'Permission denied' error.

That's the best I can do for your particular problem with this amount of information.The next thing I need, to help you with Sendmail configuration, is whether you are configuring MX records or just using your ISP as a 'Smart Host.' I hope you haven't given up.

System administration is a high paying skill. I actually write code for a living but I end up doing a lot of System Adminstration as well. Be patient as you learn about this stuff. It takes years to really exploit some of these features.
