I'm trying to add SSL to my vsftpd server. From else where on the web I
found the following to add to the config.
# enable FTPS
ssl_enable=YES
allow_anon_ssl=NO
force_local_data_ssl=NO
force_local_logins_ssl=NO
ssl_tlsv1=YES
ssl_sslv2=YES
ssl_sslv3=YES
ssl_request_cert=NO
rsa_cert_file=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.pem
I copied out cert file to /etc/vsftpd/
sles001:/etc # ls -al /etc/vsftpd/
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 6 11:33 .
drwxr-xr-x 99 root root 12288 May 6 11:39 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1920 May 6 10:35 mainline.pem
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2136 May 6 11:31 sscert.pem
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1920 May 6 11:33 vsftpd.pem
Starting vsftpd startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/vsftpd: 1
So I'm trying to find out what that message is trying to tell me. So I
look in the start script figure out where the messages should be.
/etc/rc.d/vsftpd
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting vsftpd "
/sbin/startproc -l /var/log/rcvsftp.log $VSFTPD_BIN
rc_status -v
;;
Look for the log
sles001:/etc # ls -al /var/log/rcvsftp.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 2 2010 /var/log/rcvsftp.log
And it has nothing in it and hasn't been touched since 2010.
There is also nothing in /var/log/messages or /var/log/vsftpd.log about
this failure.
Any idea why I don't have a log or what could be causing this error?
