several ftp sessions concurrent whith de same user

[Jose Fernando Arzate]

Hi All.

I have a problem when execute several ftp sessions (same shell started via cron using .netrc file).

From systemB, i am executing the 20 lines with the ftp shell at the same time (with different parameter in order to get different files), But into the systemA (a trusted system), some times in the syslog, shows:

pam_acct_mgmt:No account present for user. 0
ftpd: User user1: Login Incorrect
ftpd: pam_open_session: General Commercial Security error.

The failed sessions number is variable in each test.

But without trusted system all is right.
--------
the content of the shell execute_ftp:

echo "get /tmp/file.$1 ." >> file_in.$1
ftp -i hostname < file_in.$1 > file_out.$1 2>err_file.$1

the cron line:

05 * * * * /tmp/execute_ftp 1
05 * * * * /tmp/execute_ftp 2
05 * * * * /tmp/execute_ftp 3
:
:
05 * * * * /tmp/execute_ftp 20


I hope someone can help me!!!
Thanks

Omniback / Data Protector is certainly not the right forum... lets try networking!

Hi,

If you are using ftpaccess (-a flag in inetd.conf and /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file), then look for the clause 'limit'. That will limit the number of concurrent sessions.
