Hi All,
I have just installed ProFTP via RPMs to a RedHat 6.2'ish
system.
When attempt to connect from a remote system I get the
message:
421 Service not available, remote server has closed
connection
If I try from localhost I get the same.
$ ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed
connection
ftp>
I can telnet fine. Now looking a the /var/log/messages I
get....
Feb 7 22:35:58 b4114a PAM_pwdb[1446]: (login) session
opened for user mikel by (uid=0)
Feb 7 22:36:00 b4114a PAM_pwdb[1446]: (login) session
closed for user mikel
The above is a telnet session and shows that tcpwrappers is
working for telnet fine but I don't get ANY messages when I
try to ftp from remote or from localhost. Now as I am using
tcpwrappers I presume that as no messages are being logged
then inetd is not starting the proftpd.
inetd.conf says:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
in.proftpd
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
in.telnetd
in.proftpd is in /usr/sbin as /usr/sbin/in.proftpd ->
proftpd
What might be my problem here? What next can I check?
Also what short entry do I put in proftd.conf to allow
access from a machine called 'mol' and user 'mike'? I have
commented out the <Anonymous ~ftp> entry. Or do I just leave
proftpd.conf as is with no exra entries and let tcpwrappers
control access?
Mike
