vsftp is giving me some trouble at the moment. i want every user to be ch_root'ed and have the following in my conf:
# You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home
# directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of
# users to NOT chroot().
chroot_list_enable=YES
# (default follows)
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
This works well so long as the user is in the list. If i change chroot_list_enable = NO then it stops working, and they can view any file.
What i need is for ever user to automaticaly be chroot'ed without me having to add there name to the list. How can i go about this?
Also whenever an ftp user logs in and sends a comand they get the following for long time before anything starts happening. Any thoughts on that?
ftp> ls
229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||25857|)
Could you please post more details of your attempts, results obtained, etc (ie post the exact commands & their output)?
Also make sure to have vsftpd re-read the config to make sure that your changes have had effect.
