 |
|
Having a tough time getting vsftpd to run correctly. It is run by xinetd on my server, FWIW. I'm getting the following error:
| Code: | $ ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.
500 OOPS: vsf_sysutil_getpwnam
ftp> bye |
Here's the /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd file:
| Code: | service ftp
{
only_from = localhost 192.168.0.0/24
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/vsftpd
server_args = /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
log_on_success += DURATION USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
nice = 10
disable = no
} |
Here's xinetd.conf:
| Code: | defaults
{
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv info
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 25 30
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d |
And, finally, here's /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf (only uncommented entries):
| Code: | local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
chown_uploads=YES
chown_username=whoever
xferlog_enable=YES
xferlog_std_format=YES
xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
nopriv_user=nobody
ascii_upload_enable=YES
ascii_download_enable=YES
ls_recurse_enable=YES |
I'm about ready to pull it out, since I can get 99.9% of my work done using Samba on my local net. The main reason I want it is that ftp is totally second nature to me, and I like it.
Any help out there? Google gets me nowhere when searching for the error message. |

I finally said "eff it" 
I emerge -C vsftpd out of the system, emerged proftpd in, and badda-boom, badda-bing -- ftp! It did take a re-boot, but that's not too surprising what with the emerge -C of vsftpd.
Now if I could just get my samba crap to stay working more than 30 minutes, I'd be pretty close to being a happy man. Maybe it's time to emerge -C that bunch of hooey.
I'd still love to see if anyone has an answer to the vsftpd question. That's just weird. |

| Ohh my, you did a reboot to use another ftp daemon? What is it, did you port portage, vsftpd, proftpd and xinetd to windows, and you are trying to do all these things on windows? |

Well, it DID make it work. It's not like it's a production machine, or I'm going for some kind of uptime record. Plus, I'm very impatient. Did I mention that the reboot made ftpd work after a full day of nothing? |
