Greetings, Please help: I've spent a good 4-5 hours trying to get ProFTP up and running on my fresh FreeBSD 5.1 install - during which I have read everything that I could get my hands/eyes on and tried every trick I could find. Essentially, I am trying to set up ftp accounts for 3 users, each with there own unique username/password login - which are working as verified by ssh - to use as a java servlet dev box. The problem: I can not establish an FTP connection to port 21. When it appears that I have an ftp connection, there is no directory listing nor a list of the remote files. I have a small firewall (built-in to my router), and have opened up ports 20 & 21. At one point I got a "PAM(username) authentication error" - but everything looked good (to my eyes) in the /etc/pam.d/ftp & ftpd files. I have the server running in standalone mode and is not enabled as inetd service: [suplizio@dakota:~] $ ps -auxf | grep ftpd nobody 662 0.0 0.7 2144 1672 ?? Ss 11:22PM 0:00.01 proftpd: (accepting connections) (proftpd) [suplizio@dakota:~] $ head /etc/inetd.conf # $FreeBSD: src/etc/inetd.conf,v 1.61 2002/11/12 17:31:11 obrien Exp $ # # Internet server configuration database # # Define *both* IPv4 and IPv6 entries for dual-stack support. # To disable a service, comment it out by prefixing the line with '#'. # To enable a service, remove the '#' at the beginning of the line. # #ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/proftpd proftpd [suplizio@dakota:~] $ tail /var/log/messages Apr 27 23:22:05 dakota sudo: suplizio : TTY=ttyp0 ; PWD=/usr/local/libexec ; USER=root ; COMMAND=./proftpd start Apr 27 23:22:05 dakota proftpd[662]: dakota.suplizio.net - ProFTPD 1.2.8 (stable) (built Tue Apr 27 12:30:22 PDT 2004) standalone mode STARTUP Apr 27 23:27:48 dakota proftpd[665]: dakota.******.*** (************) - FTP no transfer timeout, disconnected Apr 27 23:33:51 dakota proftpd[680]: dakota.******.*** (************) - FTP no transfer timeout, disconnected I am running the default /usr/local/etc proftpd.conf file - which looks something like this: ServerName "ProFTPD Default Installation" ServerType standalone DefaultServer on Port 21 Umask 022 MaxInstances 30 User nobody Group nogroup <Directory /> AllowOverwrite on </Directory> Thanks in advance for reading thru this!
