Re: [webmin-l] ProFTP and Apache

[<da...@so...>]

Hi Jamie,
As I upgraded the ProFTP to 1.2.10 I noticed that there isn't any 
PAM on the machine. When I went to install the PAM module I got 
the prompt "module pam does not support this operating system 
(Slackware Linux 10.0). ProFTP requires PAM, good reason I can't 
authenticate. Any suggestions?

Of note, I installed your recent virtual email plugin and walla, owner 
of domain.com can login to webmin and administer only his allowed 
server ( up till then he would log in and view all of webmin with 
rights). including adding email accounts. Great work on the fly!

So all I lack is the ability to ftp websites from an ftp client. Any 
suggestions?

thanks, 
Dan

You are right that the FTP protocol has no way to know what site a 
user
is connecting to, unless they each have separate IP addresses. 
However,
this only matters if you are doing virtual anonymous FTP hosting.. If
you just want to allow domain owners and other users to FTP in to 
manage
files, any FTP server in the default configuration should work fine.

If your users are having trouble logging in, check /var/log/secure or
authlog for error messages .. perhaps they have the wrong shell?
