 Posted: Tue Apr 11, 2006 11:21 pm Post subject: pureFTPd virtual users |
 |
|
Hi there,
to be straight forward, how can i start the virtual users function ?
i have read the official menu and i am following what it says, hope i didnt get its meaning wrong. but the virtual users are just simply cant login by a ftp software in another machine.
in details, i have created a system user in a non-root group and my (/etc/passwd) is as follow:
| Code: | | ftptest:x:1008:1001::/home/./:/bin/bash |
this system user can connect to my ftp server with no problem.
then i use this to create a virtual user:
| Code: | | # pure-pw useradd virtualtest -u ftptest -d /home/student -m |
and the content in (/etc/pureftpd.passwd) becomes :
| Code: | | virtualtest:$1$okyQokB0$lIYmS9sIVi90ZeoBxNCyz.:1008:1001::/home/student/./:::::::::::: |
then i turn the virtual user function on in (/etc/conf.d/pure-ftpd) :
| Code: | ## Authentication (others are 'pam', ...)##
## Further infos in the README file.
AUTH="-lpuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb -lunix" |
because i am trying trying and trying, i am sure that i have restarted my ftp server (even true for my box) for thousand times.
the virtual users are simply cant login!! what's the thing going wrong ? 
i was stuck by this for days. would anyone give me a hand and i will return with a BIG BIG thanks !!
best,
midnight~

Here's my config file for pureftp I'm using virtual users, and it works for me
One quick thing, do you have the IS_CONFIGURED var set to yes ... thats something I missed my first time.
| Code: |
# Config file for /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd
## This variable must be uncommented in order for the server to start ##
IS_CONFIGURED="yes"
## FTP Server,Port (separated by comma) ##
SERVER="-S 192.168.0.1,21"
## Number of simultaneous connections in total, and per ip ##
MAX_CONN="-c 30"
MAX_CONN_IP="-C 10"
## Start daemonized in background ##
DAEMON="-B"
## Don't allow uploads if the partition is more full then this var ##
DISK_FULL="-k 90%"
## If your FTP server is behind a NAT box, uncomment this ##
#USE_NAT="-N"
## Authentication
AUTH="-l puredb:/etc/pureftpd.db"
## Misc. Others ##
MISC_OTHER="-A -x -j -R -B"

| Did you run "purepw mkdb" after running "purepw useradd"? |

first of all, thanks Voorhees and lonex,
Voorhees, my setting is just exactly the same with yours, but just simply cant 
i wanna ask, how you start your pure-ftpd ?
using the init.d script :
| Code: | | # /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start |
or start it by the official method method :
| Code: | | # /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd & |
for me, if i use the former one, the pure-ftpd didnt start actually. that's mean the ftp client cant connect to it.
if i use the latter, it works.
but in order to make it starts automatically will boot, i fix the init.d script (/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd) :
| Code: | start() {
checkconfig || return 1
ebegin "Starting Pure-FTPd"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd & -- $SERVER $MAX_CONN $MAX_CONN_IP $DAEMON $DISK_FULL $USE_NAT $AUTH $LOG $TIMEOUT $MISC_OTHER
eend $?
} |
note that i have added the (&) sign
it can start automatically now, the system beeps me for errors though.
lonex, using the option "-m" can omit the step of (# pure-pw mkdb)
thanks a lot to you all,
midnight~ |

Hi,
I seem to be emerging and unemerging without success. I need some help please 
This is the current issue on my server
1) Apache 2.0.55
[ebuild U ] net-www/apache-2.0.55-r2 [2.0.55-r1] +apache2 -debug -doc +ldap* -mpm-leader -mpm-peruser -mpm-prefork -mpm-threadpool -mpm-worker -no-suexec (-selinux) +ssl -static-modules -threads 50 kB
2) Pure-Ftpd
[ebuild R ] net-ftp/pure-ftpd-1.0.21 -caps +ldap +mysql +pam -postgres (-selinux) +ssl +vchroot 0 kB
//////////////////////////
Somehow i am missing a step or 12
I need to get Pure-Ftpd to log me into my server so i can work - nevermind anything else,
Could someone help me understand the (UID and GID) maybe thats the issue
also my Legal ip is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
when ui was configuring SSL on the server i read in a how-to that making eth0 for 80 and eth1 for 443 or something like that (i think its called IP based vhost) so i have a public ip and eth0 (192.168.0.1 and eht1 192.168.0.2) could this have something to do with my FTP not working
also i read maybe port 21 23 are closed
how do i ping or test them in SSH / Telnet
>> Any help would be more than well appreciated
Thanks
Dave |

I start pureFTP using /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start on my Gentoo box
On my BSD box I use the /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd command
Both are using virtual users, and work. |
