Proftpd and anonymous login problem from localhost.

immer · 12-12-2004, 07:36 AM

Helo everybody.

Distribution: Fedora Core 2.
Service: proftpd compiled by myself:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/run --enable-shadow \
--with-modules=mod_tls:mod_ratio:mod_readme:mod_quotatab:mod_quotatab_file:mod_ifsession:mod_wrap && \
make && \
make install

I run proftpd by xinetd:

Code:

service ftp
{
disable = no
flags           = REUSE
socket_type     = stream
instances       = 50
wait            = no
user            = root
server          = /usr/sbin/proftpd
log_on_success  = HOST PID
log_on_failure  = HOST
}

My proftpd.conf file:

Code:

ServerName                      "ProFTPD Default Installation"
ServerType                      inetd
DefaultServer                   on
Port                            21
Umask                           022
MaxInstances                    30
User                            nobody
Group                           nobody

DefaultRoot ~

AllowOverwrite          on

<Limit SITE_CHMOD>
  DenyAll
</Limit>

<Anonymous ~ftp>
  User                          ftp
  Group                         ftp
  
UserAlias                       anonymous ftp

  MaxClients                    10

  DisplayLogin                  welcome.msg
  DisplayFirstChdir             .message

  <Limit WRITE>
    DenyAll
  </Limit>
</Anonymous>

I create also ftp home directory with rights:

Code:

# ls -l /var |grep ftp
drwxr-xr-x   2 root ftp   4096 Dec 12 12:10 ftp

There is no iptables on this machine.

And now... the problem is...

When I try to log on anonymous account from the same machine and try to do simple ls command:

Code:

# ncftp localhost
NcFTP 3.1.7 (Jan 07, 2004) by Mike Gleason (http://www.NcFTP.com/contact/).
Connecting to 127.0.0.1...

ncftp / > ls
Remote host has closed the connection.
List failed.
ncftp> 
...

But when I try to login from another host on network everything is OK. I can list files from anonymous account.

If I make a addition user account and try to log on it from localhost everything is ok also. I have only problem with login as anonymous from the same machine.

What it could be?

Best regards.
