vsftpd or proftpd on redhat 9 machine
Ok, I'm trying to get vsftpd working on one of my machines - i have a redhat 9 machine running in vmware (so i don't expect it to work like an honest ftp server) but I just want to practice getting this kind of stuff set up.
i have vsftpd installed. I tried to run it as a standalone application (not within xinetd) and when i try to run it that way i get an error 500 OOPS: vsftpd: does not run standalone, must be run from within inetd I don't understand that to start with. I did try to get it to run from within xinetd but I dont know exactly what to do so i abandoned that course. every set of instructions or HOWTO pages I see for setting up vsftpd are different and I'm just confused on what the basic set of things i need to do to get this to work are. once i get it working i'm comfortable futzing and changing settings etc.. but i can't get over the hump. I tried this yesterday on my SUSE machine and no luck there either. Any help on this one? |
proftpd not working either
I don't really care which ftp server i get up and running - i just found a tutorial for installing proftpd. i got through the configure and make steps. then i started the server and after a simple change to a setting in the basic.conf configuration file it seems to execute but i when run:
ftp localhost or ftp 127.0.0.1 it gives me an error that says connection refused. Hmmm .... |
run proftpd using
Code:
proftpd -d 9 -n |
Here's the deal. I'm following the tutorial in the tutorial section of this website
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ticle&artid=17 Here's what I typed and the output i got using the -d 9 -n flags ( I don't have proftp fully installed so i have to give the full path name in the src tree and also identify the config file to use): /usr/src/proftpd-1.2.10/proftpd -c /usr/src/proftpd-1.2.10/sample-configurations/basic.conf -d 9 -n - parsing '/usr/src/proftpd-1.2.10/sample-configurations/basic.conf' configuration - FS: using system open() - FS: using system read() - dispatching directive 'ServerName' to module mod_core - dispatching directive 'ServerType' to module mod_core - dispatching directive 'DefaultServer' to module mod_core - dispatching directive 'Port' to module mod_core - dispatching directive 'Umask' to module mod_core - dispatching directive 'MaxInstances' to module mod_core - dispatching directive 'User' to module mod_core - dispatching auth request "getpwnam" to module mod_auth_file - dispatching auth request "getpwnam" to module mod_auth_unix - dispatching directive 'Group' to module mod_core - dispatching auth request "getgrnam" to module mod_auth_file - dispatching auth request "getgrnam" to module mod_auth_unix - FS: using system read() - dispatching directive 'AllowOverwrite' to module mod_xfer - dispatching directive '<Limit>' to module mod_core - dispatching directive 'DenyAll' to module mod_core - dispatching directive '</Limit>' to module mod_core - dispatching directive '<Anonymous>' to module mod_core - dispatching directive 'User' to module mod_core - dispatching directive 'Group' to module mod_core - dispatching directive 'UserAlias' to module mod_auth - dispatching directive 'MaxClients' to module mod_auth - dispatching directive 'DisplayLogin' to module mod_core - dispatching directive 'DisplayFirstChdir' to module mod_core - dispatching directive '<Limit>' to module mod_core - dispatching directive 'DenyAll' to module mod_core - dispatching directive '</Limit>' to module mod_core - dispatching directive '</Anonymous>' to module mod_core - FS: using system read() - FS: using system close() redhat - redhat - Config for ProFTPD Default Installation: redhat - ~ftp/ redhat - Limit redhat - DenyAll redhat - UserName redhat - GroupName redhat - UserAlias redhat - MaxClients redhat - DisplayLogin redhat - DisplayFirstChdir redhat - Umask redhat - AllowOverwrite redhat - Limit redhat - DenyAll redhat - DefaultServer redhat - Umask redhat - UserID redhat - UserName redhat - GroupID redhat - GroupName redhat - AllowOverwrite redhat - dispatching auth request "getgroups" to module mod_auth_file redhat - dispatching auth request "getgroups" to module mod_auth_unix redhat - SETUP PRIVS at main.c:2733 redhat - ROOT PRIVS at main.c:1967 redhat - RELINQUISH PRIVS at main.c:1974 redhat - ROOT PRIVS at main.c:2322 redhat - opening scoreboard /usr/sbin/var/proftpd/proftpd.scoreboard'nugget-redhat - RELINQUISH PRIVS at main.c:2325 redhat - error opening scoreboard: No such file or directory |
