vsftpd

Hi all,

I need to limit users to only their home directory, with and did the following things
chroot_local_user=YES
/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
But all users still can see the resto of the folders.

Any idea?

Thanks

Do you also have chroot_list_enable=YES? Are you also using a chroot_list_file, and if so does it list all users?

 

[extremedatos]

yes,, i enabled the chroot and added the users i want to the list file.

thanks.

IIRC, the chroot_list_file works in reverse - in other words, you list in it the users you DON'T want chroot_jailed.

still same issue..

Can the users see the contents of the folders outside of their home directories?

I know some FTP clients display the folders outside the chroot but the users can't see or modify the contents.

Can you show use the output of grep chroot /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf?

I just tested both methods, i.e.
[ul]
[li]with just chroot_local_user=YES, and[/li]
[li]with just chroot_list_enable=YES and a test user in the /etc/vsftpd/chroot_list file[/li]
[/ul]

Both times I was placed in the user's home directory and had no access to any other directories.

Why are you stuck on vsftpd ? Any reason you can't change your daemon?

If so, I would recommand proftpd. Much more secure, not that many holes/bugs, easy to configure.

Let me know if you need help!
