I can't configure virtual users in VSFTPd

simonbcn · 03-27-2011, 06:24 AM

Ubuntu 10.04 32 bits
vsftpd 2.3.4 installed from sources

Code:

    # cat vsftpd.conf 
    listen=YES
    anonymous_enable=NO
    local_enable=YES
    write_enable=YES
    anon_upload_enable=NO
    anon_mkdir_write_enable=NO
    connect_from_port_20=YES
    nopriv_user=ftp
    chroot_local_user=YES
    secure_chroot_dir=/usr/share/empty
    ls_recurse_enable=YES
    listen_port=1031
    log_ftp_protocol=YES
    syslog_enable=NO
    vsftpd_log_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
    delete_failed_uploads=YES
    user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd/user_conf
    anon_world_readable_only=NO
    anon_other_write_enable=NO
    no_anon_password=YES
    force_dot_files=NO
    guest_enable=YES
    pam_service_name=vsftpd.virtual
    virtual_use_local_privs=YES

Code:

    # cat /etc/pam.d/vsftpd.virtual 
    auth       required     /lib/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd/virtual_users.db
    account    required     /lib/secutiry/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd/virtual_users.db

I use db_load to create a simple hashed db with the following command:

Code:

db4.8_load -T -t hash -f logins /etc/vsftpd/virtual_users.db

Well, I can login with my system user and it enters in FTP folder.
But when I try to enter with virtual user it always shows: 530 Login incorrect.

I've tried with other tutorial ([http://www.ubuntututorials.net/insta...irtual-users/]) that uses htpasswd and libpam-pwdfile but it also doesn't work.

I've tried see the log files but neither shows anything. I've done several searches with "grep -i vsftpd /var/log/*" and "grep -i pam /var/log/*" but I don't find any clue.

Hi,
The problem was several:

1. I hadn't installed libpam0g-dev before I compiled vsftpd.
2. In the pam file doesn't put the db file extension.

Now it's solved.

'2. In the pam file doesn't put the db file extension.' Please clarify
