If functionality is in the base, my philosophy is that replacing it violates the KISS principle unless the replacement offers some additional functionality that justifies the change. Security problems detected in the base are usually fixed very, very quickly. If truly worried about the security of any ftpd (base or not), jail it and (if you can) firewall the access to limit usage to specific clients. Probably better, use SCP or SFTP instead of plain old FTP. Of course, you can't block or secure logins if you're aiming at anonymous access from the big bad Internet, but jailing the service might be sufficient then. You might get better answers if you posted details about intended use and any atypical functionality required/desired. There are nifty ftpd replacements available that serve particularly well for some environments. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) gregb at scls.lib.wi.us, (608) 266-6348 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

OK, so... after I wrote this I looked at the vsftpd site recommended by others and I'd have to say this probably is a justified swap. The number of high end vsftpd users (including -- hint hint, enable_cluestick=YES -- freebsd.org) is a pretty clear testimonial. I'm guessing the only reason this baby is not the base ftpd is its inherent GPLness. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) gregb at scls.lib.wi.us, (608) 266-6348 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FTPd recommendation?
I've used pure-ftpd for some time and really like it's virtual user implementation. Doesn't hurt that (from thier site) Unlike other popular FTP servers, the number of root exploits found since the very first released version is zero.

I've had this running without issue on a FreeBSD 6.0 machine for several months now.

Another vote for vsftpd: http://vsftpd.beasts.org/ Trivial to setup/configure, very secure. In addition to all of the normal security features that vsftpd offers, we turn on the pasv_min_port/pasv_max_port options to restrict the download ports, it's a nice feature. (I attended an Apache/FTP security lecture in the Bay Area a couple of years ago (2002/2003) at one of the local user groups there -- the speaker was testing out his talk on us before he gave it at some Usenix/SAGE conference. The ftp portion was a howto on securing wu-ftpd, but before he started, he said point blank that if you didn't need anonymous uploads, to just use vsftpd.) Thomas -- N.J.
