Pure-ftpd setup..... /etc/conf.d/pure-ftpd

[Brent Jackson]

After emerging pureftp, and adding it to the rc scripts I am told that I need to setup /etc/conf.d/pure-ftp.d first. I see that the pure-ftpd file in /etc/init.d/ uses some variables such as

$SERVER
$MAX_CONN
$MAX_CONN_IP
$DAEMON
$DISK_FULL
$USE_NAT
$AUTH
$MIS_OTHER

It seems obvious to me that these variables are set in the /etc/conf.d/pure-ftp file, but I am unsure what other stuff needs to go into that file. I am not asking anyone to hold my hand exactly, just point me to some more detailed information.

Thanks!

I have created my /etc/conf.d/pure-ftpd file

# Config file for /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd
SERVER="-h /var/run/pre-ftpd.pid"
MAX_CONN="-c 5"
MAX_CONN_IP="-c 3"
DAEMON="-D"
DISK_FULL="-k 95"
USE_NAT="-H"
AUTH="-E"
MISC_OTHER="--allowuserfxp --prohibitdotfileswrite --brokenclientcompatibily -w"

And still on boot I am told at boot

* You need to setup /etc/conf.d/pure-ftpd first

Ok, I really don't know what to do next.... I read the other files in the conf.d directory and
followed their file format (at least I think) . So what am I doing wrong?

Anyone?

Thanks

In the beginning of the pure-ftpd config file you have this line:

I haven't tried your suggestion yet, but I am about to. If that is all I have to do I feel really stupid

Thanks man

Here is the config file I used in case anyone wants it. Now... time to try to tunnel ftp through ssh... hum

##############################
# Config file for /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd #

DISK_FULL="-k 95"
USE_NAT="-H" #has nothing to do with nat, but -H means don't resolve host name
AUTH="-E"
MISC_OTHER="--allowuserfxp --prohibitdotfileswrite -w"

It bears mentioning that SSH has the sftp subsystem enabled by default. :p
