[BlueOnyx:07686] Anonymous FTP

[Robert Fitzpatrick]

I have a new server setup, enabled Anonymous FTP on a virtual site, but
it continues to prompt for login unlike on other BO servers. Even if I
try to login as anonymous with an email address for password, it
continues to prompt. It is like the anonymous user is not valid...this
is all I get in the logs after a connection is attempted...

> Jul 17 16:13:16 www xinetd[12008]: START: ftp pid=17217 from=x.x.x.x
> Jul 17 16:13:17 www proftpd[17217]: warning: "ProFTPD" address/port (x.x.x.x:21) already in use by "ProFTPD server"
> Jul 17 16:13:17 www proftpd[17217]: www.host.net (rrcs-x-x-x-x.se.biz.rr.com[x.x.x.x]) - FTP session opened.
> Jul 17 16:13:17 www proftpd[17217]: www.host.net (rrcs-x-x-x-x.se.biz.rr.com[x.x.x.x]) - FTP session closed.
> Jul 17 16:13:17 www xinetd[12008]: EXIT: ftp status=0 pid=17217 duration=1(sec)

Here are the users...

> [root at www ftp]# grep ftp /etc/passwd
> ftp:x:14:50:FTP User:/var/ftp:/sbin/nologin
> SITE10:x:572:510:anonName:/home/.sites/48/site10/ftp:/bin/badsh
> [root at www ftp]# grep ftp /etc/group
> ftp:x:50:
> [root at www ftp]# grep nobody /etc/group
> nobody:x:99:
> [root at www ftp]# grep nobody /etc/passwd
> nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/:/sbin/nologin
> [root at www ftp]# grep SITE10 /etc/passwd
> SITE10-logs:x:522:510:www.host.com:/home/.sites/48/site10/logs:/bin/badsh
> SITE10:x:572:510:anonName:/home/.sites/48/site10/ftp:/bin/badsh

And the anonymous setup from proftpd.conf for the virtual site...

> <VirtualHost x.x.x.x>
>     DefaultRoot     / wheel
>         DefaultRoot             / admin-users
>         DefaultRoot             ~/../../.. site-adm
>         DefaultRoot             ~ !site-adm
>         AllowOverwrite  on
>         DefaultChdir            /web
>         DisplayLogin    .ftphelp
>         <Anonymous /home/.sites/48/site10/ftp>
>                 User      SITE10
>                 Group    nobody
>                 UserAlias anonymous SITE10
>                 UserAlias guest SITE10
>                 UserAlias ftp SITE10
>                 MaxClients      10
>                 <Directory *>
>                         <Limit WRITE>
>                                 DenyAll
>                         </Limit>
>                 </Directory>
>                 <Directory /home/.sites/48/site10/ftp/incoming/*>
>                         Umask   002
>                         AllowOverwrite off
>                         <Limit STOR>
>                                 AllowAll
>                         </Limit>
>                         <Limit READ DIRS>
>                                 DenyAll
>                         </Limit>
>                 </Directory>
>         </Anonymous>
> </VirtualHost>

I have compared all against a working anonFTP site on another BO server,
cannot seem to figure out why anonymous won't work on this one. Anyone
seen this behavior or know how to resolve?

Thanks, Robert
