Hi. Try to execute the vsftpd start script with "sh -x" or "bash -x", and see if anything comes from that.
-- Pedro. From: Mark Pace <[email protected]> To: [email protected], Date: 06/05/2014 12:45 Subject: vsftpd Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <[email protected]> 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? -- The postings on this site are my own and don’t necessarily represent Mainline’s positions or opinions Mark D Pace Senior Systems Engineer Mainline Information Systems ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
