Feb 4, 2010I started to work on building a ftp by vsftpd in our lab (that's only for our lab members). I am going to setup some the virtual users for each of the member. We have a CentOS5 (without upgrade after the fresh installation). I try several ways to setup the vsftpd for virtual users. 1) with db4 2) with mysql 3) without database and use htpasswd. But all fails. Actually, I don't want to use database, so I am going to find out the reason of failure on 'htpasswd' method
My vsftpd is installed in /etc/vsftpd (for only using ftp account, it is no problem to login).
1) I setup an account called vftpuser and build the corresponding home (/home/vftpuser), and then I setup another account call usera and also create a directory within /home/vftpuser.
2) I use htpasswd to add passwd to usera and store the passwd in /etc/vsftpd/passwd.
3) I added the name of usera to /etc/vsftpd/user_list
4) I create a directory /etc/vsftpd/user to store a unique conf for each user (for usera, the conf named usera) which contains the local root for users, which is

Software :: Check A String With Actual User Passwd (ie Password In /etc/shadow)?
Sep 24, 2009I am trying to write a remote access module. Is there any function in linux where I can give string (password entered by user) and compare it with the actual user password stored in /etc/shadow. Since the password is stored encrypted in /etc/shadow I cannot parse and compare. So I want some method to compare if my user entered the correct password..Is there any function for that..

Dec 20, 2010All servers mentioned below run OpenSuSE, either 10 or 11.I am currently working on a few scripts that are meant to be used as part of a continuous integration setup. I am trying to keep these scripts reasonably secure, and so I have made sure that all the servers run these scripts only as a specific user (user1) that has permissions to basically nothing else. The problem I am currently running into is that I need to start and stop tomcat as user1 but this user doesn't have permissions to the tomcat rectory (only tomcat has execute permissions). I have a temporary workaround in place while I work on the scripts (I have an SSH key in place that allows me to SSH from user1o tomcat without a password and execute my commands that way) but it is not very secure. I have tried adding the following line to /etc/sudoers:
Code:
tomcat localhost = NOPASSWD: /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh, /opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
but it doesn't work as I expected it to. I tried a few different syntaxes for that line,

Apr 22, 2010we are trying to make a policy decision whether to go with SSH user/passwd or PPK secure key ? our servers are hosted remotely by a hosting service. we were wondering which of these two models are more secure.e.g. i would tend to think that user/passwd with account lockouts upon failed attempts would be more secure because the other option exposes your server in case someone sneaks the PPK file or steals your whole computer.however, what makes me doubt myself is that Amazon Web Services EC2 cloud hosting uses PPK by default (although an instance's SSH config can be change to accommodate logging in but they don't endorse it).

# Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf

# The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file
# loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable.
