Aug 17, 2010How do you configure proftpd so that once a user has failed to login and reached the MaxLoginAttempts. That they can not retry logging in for another 4 hours ?

View 6 RepliesI recently had a problem with Proftpd, when execute proftpd return the next error:
# /sbin/service proftpd start
Starting proftpd: [FAILED]
the file configuration is:
I'm having quite a hassle getting proftpd to work.
My setup:
- CentOS 5 (latest version)
- ProFTPD Version: 1.3.1 (stable)
Want do I want:
A simple FTP server which allows me to acces the /var/www/html directory to upload new files for my apache webserver.
What are my problems:
When trying to login it says the following:
***Begin***
[root@ICT2-Gateway ~]# ftp 127.0.0.1
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
220 FTP Server ready.
500 AUTH not understood
[Code]....
As you can see this has nothing to do with faulty firewall settings since i'm only trying this locally. Futhermore the password is 100% correct (and keyboard layout).
Since I've changed alot in my config file it thought it's not worth mentioning here, I'm reverting back to default.
How do I monitor who is ssh'ing into a box (SLES) as well as failed attempts? How can I log their IP addresses, even if they're not in DNS?/var/log/messages I see their hostname but no IP address

Here are the configuration I am using. I have put this in sshd and password-auth-ac.
auth required pam_tally2.so deny=3 file=/var/log/tallylog lock_time=180 unlock_time=1200 magic_root account required pam_tally2.so magic_root In the /var/log/secure I do see messages related pam_tally2 and the counter going up.
I have two servers running Linux 2.6.9 kernel.When i telnet to server1 , the telnet will be disconnected only after 3 login failures. While, when i telnet to server2, telnet will be disconnected after the first login failure.expect server2 to behave the same way as server1 when telnet is executed.Kindly tell me where i should tweak my servers so that i could achieve what i expect.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFailed login attempts are logged to syslog with the user id or login id set to UNKNOWN_USER or UNSET.Anybody know if this is configurable. I would rather it just pass the actual id that the user used. Doesn't matter if it exist or not, just want to know if someone is guessing at user names and what those user names are
View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know a method for setting the timeout period for failed logins on Linux RHEL5.x systems? Linux docs say to set the failed login delay paramter in /etc/login.defs to the desired seconds. I did this, but the settings have no effect, ie weather set to 2,4,10, etc, the actuall failed login timeout period(which I verified with a stopwatch), never changes.

My question is my server should not allow anyone directly to login as root user. First he should login as normal user then he should switch to root user.
I also have another questions is there any specific linux command is there to end other users ssh session without rebooting the server.
I'm using ProFTPd as my FTP server on a CentOS 5 box. Since updating to version 1.3.3c, I seem to have very specific problems. Connections work quite fine with about any FTP client out there, including the basic ftp command from the Linux prompt. However, when trying to connect to that server with LFTP, things go wrong. When connecting, all I get is [Connecting] then [Logging in...] and then nothing. I have to add that SSL is forced off in lftp.conf (I read it could be the problem). I sometimes get a counter for reconnection, but it never works.
The command I use in lftp is : open -u <user>,<pass> <server_ip>, the ls for lftp to establish the connection. I don't see anything at all in the server's log. I just see "FTP session opened" and "FTP session closed" in /var/log/messages" and nothing in /var/log/secure. I can give you a strace if needed. Please keep in mind that the server WORKS with anything but LFTP and NCFTP (which I also tried).
After GRUB 2 comes up (I'm running Ubuntu 10.10) and I choose the OS to boot, there is about a 5 second delay where nothing appears to happen after I make the selection -- no disk activity. It happens consistently every time I boot. Again, this is after I choose the OS to boot, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the standard delay to allow me to choose the appropriate OS.Is there a good way to troubleshoot this and determine what is causing the delay?

1. Logins via SSH to server are extremely slow, about 30 seconds after typing password
2. Once I am logged in, launching sqlplus is very slow. After typing password, sqlplus hangs for 15 or so seconds.
Even when I am actually at the console, login of course is instantaneous.. but sqlplus still has the same issue. CPU is at 0% no swap is being used. Shouldn't be a network issue, on the same network.
I ran into a user today that indicated that their company only allows them to log in through a terminal session once (no multiple logins). On second try their login window terminates. They are using putty.Is this being accomplished through PAM or sshd ( or some other method)?

So long as I remembered to use smbpasswd/passwd to setup a user with a username and password matching the account name of a Windows 7 user, then that windows 7 user would be able to navigate the shares with their permissions correctly.I have switched over to using ldap, and: the console/ssh of the machine can correctly use any of the ldap logins getent passwd/group both show the complete listing my Windows 7 machines can all ping the samba server by its netbios name my Windows 7 machines all prompt for authentication if I type \MACHINENAME into explorerHowever, all attempts to access the shares now continually ask for you to enter your username/password, and then fails anyway.No errors appear to be generated on the server (unless I'm missing a log somewhere). Having hunted around on the web, I'm wondering if it has to do with generation of machine accounts (since it tries to access from MACHINENAMEUSER). Without ldap setup, I didn't need to worry about the machine name, but I'm thinking that maybe smbpasswd took care of this somehow.I use the smbldap-useradd tool to setup a user account, which appears to correctly setup the user in ldap, such as:
Code:
dn: uid=sharer,ou=Users,dc=intbus,dc=net
objectClass: top

my /var/log/secure file is not getting updated with ssh logins from yesterday.Even the login from my own ip is not updated.

I have used the standard proftpd config file, and tried to change some things with online tutorials but non of them worked with windows (only for linux ftp connections). Can some of you refer me to a good tutorial for a multi user ftp linux server or explane me what to do?
which is the best vsftpd or Proftpd or Pureftpd ?
which is high secure and reliable ?
Pureftpd or Proftpd can install on Centos ?
I followed this tutorial trying to set up proftpd. I'm using Slackware 13.1, but I had assumed most of the tutorial was all relevant still.Using the default proftpd.conf file, I was able to do anonymous login, but I was hoping to use the conf file in the tutorial to only allow certain users, so it currently looks like this:Quote:
# To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications.
AllowOverwrite on
AuthAliasOnly off

I run Debian 5 64-bit machine with 2 IP-addresses. I installed ProFTPd through init.d instead of standalone but when I start it, it gives the following error:
Code:
ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration.
If I select standalone as servertype through the config, it works good.
Previously, I had this same machine on the same OS with 1 IP-address. I installed ProFTPd and it worked well with init.d . Maybe the 2nd IP is causing it? How can I make it work through init.d without having this error?
I installed proftpd on a new CentOS 5 server, yet when FTPing in (I can log in fine), the files and directories do not list and I get a "550 filename: Permission denied" error each time I try to "put" or "get" a file (I can tell that the file is there, though, because if I try to access a non-existent file, I get a "No such file or directory error" instead of the permission denied error).

Code:
# Restrict upload to only 3 megabytes
MaxStoreFileSize 5 Mb
MaxStoreFileSize 100 Mb user crystal
My Proftpd also restricts the user crystal to 5 Mb. It seems the second line is not taken into consideration.
We have a LAN with mixed Windows workstations win 2000, winxp, vista, win 7, linux servers all in a workgroup. Most applications used on the LAN are windows based, with a growing number of python apps. A friend suggested a Primary Domain Controller would be a better way to manage logins, resources etc. I don't wont to use a Windows based PDC, what would you suggest as a linux based PDC? I have heard about TURNKEY PDC, but it uses Samba 3 and apparently doesn't handle Active Directory in Windows.
View 5 Replies View RelatedQuestion on vsFTPd. I just switched to it from ProFTPd. With ProFTPd clients on the LAN that connected to the ProFTPd server on the LAN had slow logins with their FTP client until in the ProPFTd config file I uncommented these two lines:
#UseReverseDNS off
#IdentLookups off
Now that I"m using vsFPTd, I was wondering if there were similar settings since I see logging into the vsFTPd server is slow (20 second delay).
I recently installed ProFTPD on a Centos Linux with configure,make,install...(yum install proftpd didnt work) i installed everything it works but i cant control it through Service like, Service proftpd start,reload,stop like i used to on older servers.

I mean would I need to logically seperate out a series of passive ports and then open them using my custom routers NAT, so each passive port goes to its own virtual host as such? Just a bit confused about what the next steps would entail I mean I don't have any firewall on my Linux box, don't see the point since I use pfSense and an IPS/IDS and it's never been hacked since!
I cant figure out why my server running fc14 keeps saying login incorrect 530. I am using gproftpd. I know that the login is correct though. For instance:
Lets say my user is "goober" and my pass is "fedora" and I go and type that in when I try and login to the ftp it says login incorrect.
i have been havin a little trouble with my ftp server im using proftpd and have been able to connect to the box on local lan but it stops with an error about tls packet.

i have just setup a firewall using iptables on centos 5.3 but there's an issue with ftp
i can connect and i can login when i give command "ls" it says entering passive mode
and afterwards it times out do you know why? i have port 21 open in my firewall but still....
