vsftpd SSH add user
 

Hi there.

I'm trying to add users.
(Translation: gebruiker = user)


I did this:
groupadd gebruikers
chgrp -R gebruikers /home/gebruikers
useradd gebruiker1 -d /home/gebruikers/gebruiker1 -p {wachtwoord}
useradd gebruiker2 -d /home/gebruikers/gebruiker2 -p {wachtwoord}
gpasswd -a gebruiker1 gebruikers
gpasswd -a gebruiker2 gebruikers

I want that only gebruiker1 can be in his map home/gebruikers/gebruiker1
But now he can see the whole server dir.
How to change this?

Hi,

If you want to restrict users in their home directories you need
in vsftpd.conf

This is my vsftpd.conf:

anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
#anon_upload_enable=YES
#anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
#chown_uploads=YES
#chown_username=whoever
#xferlog_file=/var/log/xferlog
xferlog_std_format=YES
#idle_session_timeout=600
#data_connection_timeout=120
#nopriv_user=ftpsecure
#async_abor_enable=YES
#ascii_upload_enable=YES
#ascii_download_enable=YES
#ftpd_banner=Welcome to blah FTP service.
#deny_email_enable=YES
#banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd/banned_emails
chroot_list_enable=YES
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/chroot_list
#ls_recurse_enable=YES
listen=YES
#listen_ipv6=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES

so it still don't works, what to do?
in chroot_list is the following text:

#nobody

Since you're using "chroot_list_enable", then you have to list the users that are to be chrooted in the /etc/vsftpd/chroot_list file. For example to chroot gebruiker1, edit to be:
and restart vsftpd

Try commenting out this line. Since you've set chroot_local_users to YES, this means that any users entered into this file will NOT be chrooted.

OP does not have chroot_local_users set, so he has to go with adding users he want to chroot, in the file defined by chroot_list_file

D'OH! Yeah, you're right.

ok cool that works.

Now the user gebruiker1 only can be in the map gebruiker1.
But can i change his home dir to:

/gebruiker1/orangebox/cstrike

how can i do that?

Glad to see it worked.

To change the homedir of a user run (as root)
Read usermod manpage to see if you want to use also the -m option
