RE: [Proftpd-user] ProFTP Configuration Problems

2 suggestions, change in the proftpd.conf file standalone to inetd, and use
"nobody" as user and group assuming you have them. (redhat has them)

Hello all.

 

I am currently working to get ProFTP up and running.

 

Pertinent facts:

1. I installed ProFTP via RPM on my Mandrake 9.1 system.

2. proftpd is set to run under xinetd rather than standalone.

3. RPM set a user and group up: ftp/ftp (uid:78/gid:78)

4. I cannot connect to the ftp server, and my client simply responds that
the connection failed.

5. A check of /var/log/syslog shows the following entries:

 

These lines start with "Nov 21 11:00:48 tux proftpd[22714]:
tux.vaughn-hapke.dnsalias.com -"

     Unable to set daemon groups: Operation not permitted

     PRIVS_ROOT: unable to seteuid(): Operation not permitted

     PRIVS_RELINQUISH: unable to seteuid(0): Operation not permitted

 

These lines start with "Nov 21 11:00:48 tux proftpd[11176]:
tux.vaughn-hapke.dnsalias.com -"

     PRIVS_ROOT: unable to seteuid(): Operation not permitted

     PRIVS_RELINQUISH: unable to seteuid(0): Operation not permitted

     Error: unable to open scoreboard: Operation not permitted

     PRIVS_ROOT: unable to seteuid(): Operation not permitted

     PRIVS_RELINQUISH: unable to seteuid(0): Operation not permitted

     Error: unable to open scoreboard: Operation not permitted

 

I am sure that this either involves a setting or settings that I need to
include in the proftpd.conf file or something with permissions/ownership. 

I have browsed the FAQ and user manual, and cannot find a solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
