The following was for installation on an SGI O2 running IRIX but should work on most UNIX systems will very little change.
Why Use ProFTPDAlso refer to Setting up a multiple IP address interface on an SGI O2 under IRIX 6.5.x for obtaining and configuring the separate IP addresses required for virtual FTP servers to function. The ProFTPD FTP server is a free, open source program for UNIX that is built on a "secure" model and also has a configuration similar to the Apache webserver. It has a lot of options that make it very flexible and enables the administrator to keep control of what is going on. This is expecially so for chrooted areas. While security problems have been encountered in the past (this is not unique to ProFTPD as alerts have been placed on programs such as wuftpd and the standard ftpd have all had alerts on them) but ProFTPD is quick on getting fixes out.

Compiling and Installing ProFTPDThis assumes you have CC or GCC compiled. Be wary that the GCC compiler on IRIX 6.5.x can cause strange behaviour with internet style applications and it is better to use the native CC compilers you can get for IRIX from SGI. For compiling GCC, refer to Compiling the GNU GCC/G++ C compiler for information on how to do this. With a decent workstation, this should not be a problem and the ./configure programs should be able to detect make compiling a relatively trivial application.

Setting up/Configuring ProFTPDBasically, the way I did this was lots of trial and error, reading the on-line documentation and trying again. After an hour or 5 (I was not in that big a rush), I was there (but very happy with the result - the standard ftpd is much harder to set up in a secure fashion). The following example should make it easier to install. The default is to install the /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf file as read only. So you have to a chmod +w proftpd.conf to be able to edit the file. Then after finishing editing the file, do a chmod -w proftpd.conf to make it read-only. Note that proftpd is using the list of names in the /etc/ftpusers file to block access. # Use use the /etc/ftpusers file to deny logins and use the DenyAll UseFtpUsers On To allow FTP Secure Shell tunnelling, create special IP address Virtual domains (where anonymous logings are not allowed) with AllowForeignAddress on where users can log in via Secure Shell tunnelling. This is not something to enable on an IP address that allows anonymous logins. Also refer to: Secure FTP transfers via Secure Shell Tunnelling

I come from a rather rigorous network (read: Cisco) background, and had always found the Apache "way" to be rather backwards; thus the difference you see in proftpd. -- "I am Dyslexic of Borg.

Manually starting and stopping ProFTPDTo stop ProFTPD, as root type killall proftpd To start ProFTPD (and thus have it use a fresh /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf type /usr/local/sbin/proftpd
Automatic Startup of ProFTPD on BootThe work for automatic startup is pretty much identical to installing the Apache webserver.
|
|
What can be said, whatever family that IRIX UNIX comes from, it sucks and it is no wonder Bill Gates is a billionaire selling Windows. Putting something to automatically start up is not that trivial and following is a possibly dodgy implementation. Basically, it seems it is commond just to copy the lpd deamon script the /etc/init.d directory (which then has a link put to it from the /etc/rc2.d directory). Then edit in Proftpd, and edit out LPD. Thus as root go into the /etc/init.d directory and copy the relevant file; In this case on the CCP14 Server; cp bsdlpr proftpd. Make sure it is exectuable (chmod +x proftpd). Change the script so you pretty much get something like the following (start-script.txt). Then type ln -s /etc/init.d/proftpd /etc/rc2.d/S63proftpd (giving the link a number after the LPR deamon showing the order it will be started up in) Then (still as root), type cp /etc/config/bsdlpr /etc/config/proftpd Then type ln -s /etc/config/proftpd /var/config/proftpd In theory, /etc/chkconfig can then be used to check on the status of things. If httpd does not appear by typing chkconfig, try chkconfig httpd on (Summary of all of this, next killer apps for UNIX will be "c:\config.sys" and "c:\autoexec.bat") Though FreeBSD UNIX is a more civilised option. PS: If you wish to have proftpd started under initd, the following is more appropriate "Then I changed the line in /etc/inetd.conf from: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a To: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.proftpd" |

I am new on this list, and for my first posting I say hello to all of you.
I use proftpd on AIX, and for users I want to be jailed to their home dirs, these
users have to give a password. They wont have to telnet on a shell, but they need
to be able to change this password, so I replaced for these users the usual
/usr/bin/ksh in /etc/password by the command /usr/bin/passwd. It works fine, and
this way the only thing they may try with telnet is change their password.
HTH. Regards.

I use Perl to encrypt the password, or if you already have a /etc/passwd to start with, then just copy it... An alternative easy way to do this is to encrypt a password and keep the encrypted version around. Like Change your password to 'ABC123' then as you create users in the alternate passwd file, paste the encrypted form of that password into the new logon entry. And instruct the new user to change their password as soon as they first FTP to the system, or change it for them via FTP and give them the new password. :-) BTW: once you have the encrypted version of 'ABC123' feel free to change your password back. :-) Attached is a simple Perl script that will encrypt a plain text password sent to it... Mark, please feel free to add this to the FAQ. TIA. I don't believe proftp has a way of using plain text passwords in the password file, but Mark can correct me if I am wrong. :-) Later, Mike #--- Start Cut after this line #!/usr/bin/perl use Getopt::Std; use vars qw($opt_h $opt_p $opt_s); getopt ("hp:s:"); my ($salt); if ( (defined($opt_h)) || (! defined($opt_p)) ) { print "Usage: $0 -hps\n"; print "\t-h -- This Usage message\n"; print "\t-p <password> -- The password to encrypt\n"; print "\t-s <salt> -- The salt to use, optional\n\n"; exit (166); } if ($opt_s =~ /(\w+)/) { $salt = $1; } else { $chr = chr(int(rand(26)+65)); $salt = $chr; $chr = chr(int(rand(26)+97)); $salt .= $chr; } print crypt($opt_p, $salt) .

To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ProFTPD] Allowing FTP, but denying telnet From: Justin Shore [[email protected]] Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 13:36:46 -0600 If you setup ProFTPd to require a valid login shell, it parses /etc/shell to see if user X's shell is among that list. If it is then it considers them to have a valid shell. If its not, than you'll have to list it. /etc/shells is a plain text file with the full path to a given shell on each line. I'd also recommend using /bin/false. Do you want the user to be able to change his password? If so, then there's another trick that's been used alot. Make his shell /bin/passwd. Then whenever he telnets in he's instantly given the prompt to change his password. This would only allow them access to change their password. I would highly recommend using ssh if you're going to do that though (as a matter of fact, use ssh only. Trash telnet). Again, /bin/passwd would have to be listed in /etc/shells if you told ProFTPd to require a valid shell (I can't remember the directive off the top of my head).

Changing Passwords on behalf of Users(Proftpd can use alternative password files)From: "Sebastian Wolfgarten" [[email protected]] To: [[email protected]] Subject: AW: [ProFTPD] Help with updating passwords for users Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2000 21:55:16 +0200 Hi Mike, take a look at your proftp.conf file. In SuSE Linux it's proftpd.conf in /etc/. Make "locate proftpd.conf" to see where it's really at...Open this file with your favourite editor "joe proftpd.conf" for example and there should be a section with "AuthUserFile" and "AuthGroupFile". In this files you will find the users with their passwords. If it is not in use (means it has an "#" before it) then maybe you use a sql database to revalidate the users...you must make an update to the database then. Hhhm, if you use "authuserfile" then just type in the shell "passwd username" to change the user's password. If you need more assistence just write me a mail...maybe post parts of your proftpd.conf Bye Sebastian, nexxium interactive gmbh www.nexxium.de |
