Hi,

today I found out that I will have a problem if I will use a username longer than 32 letters with vsftpd and pam_mysql. So there is securely no probelm with pam_mysql because with all other tools like postfix, courier-imap, etc. there will not be a problem with the userlength.

So vsftpd (I use vsftpd-2.0.4-r1) only accept a userlength of 32 letters. If you will use a username with 33 or more you will every time a login failed :

Code:

ftp02 # ftp SERVER
Connected to SERVER (SERVER).
220 Welcome AT our FTP-Server AT.10.00. All processes are logged !!!
Name (SERVER:root): USER-34LETTER
530 Please login with USER and PASS.
SSL not available
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
ftp> exit
221 Goodbye.


Have anyone an idea if there is a limit on vsftpd or should be the problem on a other part ?

Maybe there is a parameter in the vsftpd.conf file to define the user length. But I don't found it in any docu on the net.

cu alex
