RE: Secure Writeable Restricted VSFTP Site

Hi All,

Thanks for the input it has been a learning curve here is what I had to do to allow restricted
external access...
As I mentioned RedHat 9.0 therefore...
 vsftpd.conf is in /etc and not /etc/vsftpd.d/ directory.
I am using /etc/xinetd.d/vstfpd as my tcp wrapper therefore hosts.allow and hosts.deny
 are not used?? instead I added the following line in /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd only_from = "ip addr. to allow"
I had to change the pam_service_name from ftp to vsftp. @#$@#$
I had installed bastille lockdown utility and I had to reconfigure the firewall rules
to allow FTP (ports 20 and 21).

All is fine.


Regards
Gavin Mellors

Any external firewall or router port issues?

Try running it as standalone and see it that makes a difference. I run mine as
a standalone ... seems like I remember something along those lines, but do not
remember?
