Dear community,
I need to deploy gridftp server (Scientific Linux 5.7, x86_64, GT 5.0.4)
with the following properties.
1) it needs to be run under regular (non-root) user;
2) it has to provide a read-only access and only for certain dir but for
all users without authorization check;
3) gridftp server has to start after reboot automatically.
If I do as below:
$ tail -1 /etc/services
gsiftp 2811/tcp
$ cat /etc/xinetd.d/gridftp
service gsiftp
{
instances = 100
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = gridftp
env += GLOBUS_LOCATION=/opt/globus
env += LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/globus/lib
env += GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE=20000,25000
server = /opt/globus/sbin/globus-gridftp-server
server_args = -c /opt/globus/etc/gridftp.conf
log_on_success += DURATION
disable = no
}
$ cat /opt/globus/etc/gridftp.conf
port 2811
log_level info,warn,error
log_single /home/gridftp/gridftp.log
auth_level 0
disable_command_list STOR,ESTO,DELE,RDEL,RNTO
hostcert.pem, hostkey.pem and certificates dir I put into .globus subdir
of gridftp's user home dir.
Then
[root]$ /etc/init.d/xinetd start
$ netstat -tunlp|grep 2811
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:2811 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 24268/xinetd
After that from another host as regular user (tried with with valid
proxy (tried bot not sure if it's needed since auth_level 0)
$ uberftp -d <gridftp_host>
an end-of-file was reachedan end-of-file was reached
globus_xio: An end of file occurred
Closing connection to service.
gridftp.log shows:
[24275] Thu Sep 29 20:55:22 2011 :: GFork functionality not enabled:
globus_gfork_child_worker_start() failed:
globus_gfork: GFork error: Env not set

globus_xio: A system call failed: Address already in use
If I remove the 'port 2811' line from gridftp.conf file, restart xinetd
and try connect again then uberftp hangs, nothing in the gridftp log.
Telnet gives
Trying <gridftp_server_IP>...
Connected to <gridftp_server_hostname>.
Escape character is '^]'.
Server listening at <gridftp_server_hostname>:24384
and hangs (ctrl+c doesn't work).
gridftp.log has

and that's it.
Any help on that, please?

Nikolay.
