Re: debian 3.1 and proftpd server for my isp company help required



Use http://vhcs.net and all your problems will disappear (http, ftp, mail, pop, imap, webmail, quota, management, etc) !!! (Donate $100 to help them too!!)

 

Just a tip. Edit vhcs.sh from siemens-mobiles and remove any line that change the source.list's apt file (I put a # in front of 10 o more lines). It use testing and make a lot o disaster in a stable debian configuration. Just put some nice apt source before you begin installation (use apt-setup) and then replace any 'testing' for 'stable' in /etc/apt/source.list

 

Oh!! Use a clean Debian installation before you start sh vhcs.sh ( and, very important, before that do a apt-update; apt-upgrade)

 

Pablo.

 

note: Just 1 server, no multi server configuration.

That's more to the system itself, don't your customers already have a group of their own? If not, they should, use that group on 2) for example.

Basically you just need the directive

"DefaultRoot ~" (~ means home directory, like "cd ~" in shell)

in your proftpd.conf. It's possible to implement more magic, as proftpd understands ACLs. Also, I used

"DefaultRoot ~ !staff" (the "!" negates the following object.)

which means, all users are bound to their home directory except those in the group staff.

As in 1) - nothing to do with proftpd itself. I us ally don't give a valid shell in /etc/passwd like /bin/noshell or the like. Also, noone should be able to get a shell to your system anyway except physically at the console. For instance you can define who's allowed to ssh to your machine and the like.

Never done myself, sorry.

I think the proftpd.conf is pretty good commented, also I think there was a good document on proftpd somewhere in the debian manuals section.


Best regards,

Erik
