Ubuntu Servers :: ProFTPD - Useradd Fails But Adduser Ok
Aug 4, 2010
Proftpd is installed and running fine on 8.04 server. I want to streamline the process of adding users. Adding a ftp user with USERADD fails (user is created but connection fails when trying to connect with ftp client).
Code:
useradd -d /ftp/ftphome/myuser -g ftp -m -p mypassword -s /usr/sbin/nologin myuser
But, ADDUSER works:
Code:
adduser myuser
usermod -d /ftp/ftphome/myuser -g ftp -m -p mypassword -s /usr/sbin/nologin myuser
It's a bother because I want to automate the process, and ADDUSER has all those prompts and asks for the password twice.

when I try to add a user it fails to make the corresponding home directory. I can still su to the user, set the password, and everything else. the output is as follows:
$ useradd username
useradd: cannot create home directory /home/username
I read that this could be a result of there not being enough space but if I do df -h, i see that only 88% of the memory is being used.

I finally have my system to where I can connect to proftpd but my uploads fail. I think my problem lies in the upload folder. I do not really understand where to put it. Will someone look at this config file and tell me where to put it and what I need to do to get it working. A basic anonymous configuration, no upload directories.
[code]...

I've recently installed Proftpd to host for someone for a couple of hours.
With the default config it works however when taken the comments out and edited for anonymous, proftpd fails to start
This is the default config file which works if you have a user and password for my machine, but anonymous wont work (when the comments were removed).

I have set up proftpd many times now one Ubuntu 9.10 and never ran into any problems. I decided to go ahead and do a clean install of the new 10.04 and set everything back up (ie ssh ftp apache... ect)I got done with ssh with no problems and started working on getting proftpd up and running just like I've always have. But now every time I try to login it gets to where it should list all the files in my dir and it just times out. If I connect through my network (192.168.1.101) everything works fine so I dont think its my .conf file.ll ports are open that are needed and I even tried opening up the passive ports to see if that would help but it does not.

I'm having problems with the ftp-server ProFTPd,If I transfer files from a Linux host to a Windows client, it says that my transfered files are damaged, so I'm unable to open them..I've searched this forum and several people say I have to set the default transfer mode to 'binary' mode.I did that, but it didn't work at all for me... so despite the binary transfer mode my files are still damaged when I transfer them.when I do it through SSH, it works fine, so the problem is the FTP-server...

I already have my laptop as a server using a LAMP server + proftpd and the FTP->MySQL link up. I built myself a new Headless and set up the SSH and VNC on it and all that good jazz. LAMP works and everything. Proftpd+MySQL (using the proftpd-mod-mysql package from repo) doesn't seem to work on this headless box. So I used the tutorial from [URL]... Thinking "I'm using 10.04 - it's close enough". Both came up with the same error. 421 Service not available when I ftp from the localhost. Is their something I'm missing? the Laptop set up (also 10.04) works groovy fine. Also all the log files are blank.

After upgrading ubuntu server to the latest version (according to apt-get) proftpd stopped working. When I try to execute proftpd I get the following message (when logged in as root or user with root privileges) :
Code:
Line 18 in modules.conf looks like this:
Code:
I've tried removing and re-installing proftpd, but this doesn't help
If I comment line 18 in modules.conf, I just get permission denied on the next LoadModule command...
Can I remove all modules? or is there a way of fixing the permission denied issue?

Proftpd has been running OK until recently, when I tried to connect using my laptop. All I get is the proftpd-socket file under /var/run/proftpd/ I cant' find any log files with error messages in them. I have checked /var/log/messages - nothing in there either. I have rebooted the machine after re-installing proftpd. Still it wont start Is there any way to find out why proftpd has decided not to start any more?

I have proftpd set up on my linux home server. As I have a dynamic IP at home, I am using DynDns.org to provide a hostname for me. I have told proftpd to use this address as the MasqueradeAddress, to allow passive FTP connections through my NAT router.
However, whenever I boot my server, proftpd fails to start saying it cannot resolve this address. I assume this is due to the boot order, as something network or DNS related hasn't started up by then and it can't find the address. How should I deal with this problem? Can I get proftpd to do its checking for the address later on? Or can I change the startup order so that proftpd is started as the final item in the boot sequence?

I am attempting to add a user via the adduser command. However, I get an error/warning message after entering the following: (note I am following a HOWTO, and this is the line it says to enter).
Code:
adduser renderNode
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured
via the NAME_REGEX[_SYSTEM] configuration variable. Use the `--force-badname'
option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX or NAME_REGEX_SYSTEM.
I don't quite understand how to check/configure locale settings or variables,

i know some UNIX commands and some centos/linux commands anyway i need help setting up my centos VPS. I recieved the server the today and i wax given a SSH login which i quickly figured out how to use however for many actions including opening SFTP i need to have a non root useraccount form which i have none, so i preceeded to create a new account(adduser username, passwd username) however now if i try to log into SSH, SFTP with the new account i get a message Access is Denied. I need some help and the company hosting the server seems to be pretty useless for actual support, i think they assume VPS owners to have a reasonable amount of linux knowledge.

Just upgraded to wheezy from squeeze, and trying to resolve a few problems that appeared.
I get an error when installing pulseaudio (and a few other packages). Looks like the install script can't find 'adduser':
Code: Select allSetting up pulseaudio (2.0-6.1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/pulseaudio.postinst: 22: /var/lib/dpkg/info/pulseaudio.postinst: adduser: not found
dpkg: error processing pulseaudio (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
If I 'sudo su -' then 'adduser' is on the path, so why can the install script not find it?

I am a bit fuzzy about the usage of adduser script directives in the smb.conf. I pressume they give you the ability to add users directly from windows machines... or not? And how can I use them?

Code:
useradd -u 8001 -g luc -p mypassword -s /usr/bin/bash -d /home/luc luc
Open another terminal:
Code:
luc[159-0]test> ssh luc@61.62.63.64
[Code].....
Jump back to the other terminal... Try SSH login... Success!
'adduser' works, 'useradd' doesn't. Why? I have read the man pages several times and can't find the error in my command line.
I have a similar problem with groupadd
This fails: groupadd -g 8001 staff
This works: groupadd staff

I encountered a question in the Redhat Skills Assessment regarding useradd: Which of the following cannot be defined when you create a user account with useradd?
a* A password expiration date.
b* The user's primary group.
c* The user's default shell.
d* The user's NIS or LDAP group.
e* The user's home directory.
Which is the correct answer? I have my own thinking which will be explained later.

I created a new user with command useradd (as root) :
Code: Select alluseradd razer123
And then set a password with command passwd (as root):
Code: Select allpasswd razer123
No Error!
When I logged out and tried to login with new user, I coulden't! (even after restart!)
I looked into /etc/passwd :
Code: Select allcat /etc/passwd | grep razer123
result:
Code: Select allrazer123:x:1002:1002::/home/razer123:/bin/bash
There is no home folder in the path!

I would like to add a new user with useradd (on Debian 4.0), I get the message Segmentation fault. I made a strace, that says: access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) I have read maybe the libc6 is missing or damaged, so I installed it again (apt-get install libc6, install was successfull), but the problem is still there. I touched it (touch /etc/ld.so.nohwcap)
