Re: [Proftpd-user] Mount from folder

Hi Roggi,

You can try using symbolic links:

/home# ls -l
drwxrwxr-x   3 roggi01   group     512 Dec  2 22:15 roggi01
drwxrwxr-x   3 roggi02   group      31 Dec  2 20:29 roggi02 -> roggi01

I think you also need to set the proftpd variable "AllowLogSymlinks" to "on" in order to allow FTP
connections on roggi02.

Regards,
Guillaume

[Proftpd-user] Issues configuring logging

This may be common knowledge on this list, but I had to learn through trial and error, so I figured I'd share.

I was trying to configure logging as follows to no avail:

DebugLevel 9
SystemLog /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log NONE
LogFormat cmd "%t %h (%a), %u, \"%r\" %s %b bytes"
TransferLog /var/log/proftpd/xfer.log
ExtendedLog /var/log/proftpd/command.log all cmd

I had placed these lines in the "system config" context and would see log entries in the SystemLog, but the TransferLog and ExtendedLog were not being created.

I had to move the TransferLog and ExtendedLog statements within the <Global> tags (NOTE: SystemLog and LogFormat need to stay in the "server config" context as stated in their respective directive doc pages).

Would someone be willing to spell this out on the how-to?:

http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/Logging.html

TIA,

Marcus

[Proftpd-user] seteuid / setegid on mySQL Authentication

I'm using ProFTPd 1.3.1 on a CentOS 5.2 box with the mod_sql_mysql module installed.

Is it possible to configure ProFTPd to call seteuid and setegid to the values specified in the users table
after a person is authenticated using mod_sql_mysql?  It seems right now that ProFTPd retains the uid/gid
settings from /etc/proftpd.conf right now.

Thanks!

ProFTPD actually does this.

What are you using to determine this?  Some tools, e.g. ps, may actually 
be showing the real UID/GID, instead of (or in addition to) the effective 
UID/GID.

Cheers,
TJ

The way I'm determining this behavior is that I have ProFTPd set to chroot to a folder that is chmod 700 and
owned by the user specified in the mySQL authentication table, but when the user tries to log in, I get these
error messages in my syslog:

FTP session opened.
USER Dropbox: Login successful.
Preparing to chroot to directory '/home/foo/upload'
Dropbox chroot("/home/foo/upload"): Permission denied
error: unable to set default root directory
FTP session closed.

Here is the permission for the folder in question:

drwx------ 2 foo users 512 Dec 9 02:07 /home/foo/upload

And here is the entry in the mySQL authentication table:

UserName: Dropbox
Password: *0B3D2B373D9CEBB443E2A5D954C23A954EBB8D7E
UID: 3554
GID: 100
HomeDirectory: /home/
Shell: /bin/sh

The "foo" user's ID looks like this:

uid=3554(foo) gid=100(users)

So, maybe ProFTPd needs to seteuid/setegid before it tries to do a chroot, or is that not possible? The
folder is NFS-mounted, and root does not have root privileges on the mount. Could that be the problem? Do I
need to have my file server export that mount with root permissions for this to work?
