ftp not possible

Frank Sauerbier — Mon, 03 Feb 2003 11:53:44 GMT

Hi all,
when I try to do a ftp session to my UX 11.00 machine then the following is logged in syslog.log.
I am not asked for a password.
Shell does not seem to be an issue because some have /bin/sh others bash and there is no difference.

Any idea?

Thanks
Frank

Hi

try to add this file :
create a file call /etc/shells
and add in the file
/sbin/sh
/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/rsh
/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/csh

or the shell that you are working also and try again

Check out the following files,...

/etc/inetd.conf - is 'ftpd' using the '-a' option?

If it is configured with -a, check out /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess, to see if any 'deny' values are present.

Check to see if the User has rights to their home directory, or if there is a '/./' in their Home Directory in /etc/passwd.

Share and Enjoy! Ian

Hi,

my /etc/shells looks like it should be, /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess exists and is empty.
But I tried now to start ftpd without the -a option and it works....

But I do not know why.

Thanks
Frank

if you wish to recreate /etc/ftp/ftpaccess, copy it from /usr/newconfig/etc/ftpd/examples/ftpaccess.

The man page for 'ftpaccess' provides good info for configuring this, but you may still need some testing in a trash-and-burn environment to get it working.

Share and Enjoy! Ian

Hi,

Pls check your "allow|deny" sets in the /var/adm/inetd.sec file.

For detailed info "man inetd.sec"

Rgds.

Hi,
thats quiet interesting.
The /usr/newconfig/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess is filled with many lines ...My actual ftpacces is empty.
In inetd.sec are three lines all with allow.

Thanks again.
