Lab 5 - FTP

Lab 5 - vsFTPd

  1. Check to see if vsFTPd is installed. If not, install it from Red Hat 9 Disk 3. (FC1 Disk 2)
  2. Set vsFTPd to start automatically when you reboot your server.
  3. In Red Hat's default config file, anonymous and regular users can log in. Find the lines in the config file that allow this. What directory is it accessing when you log in annonymously?
  4. Check that vsFTPd is functioning as you would expect. (Did you start it?)
  5. Deny anonymous access.
  6. Check that vsFTPd is functioning as you would expect. (Did you restart it?)
  7. Configure vsFTPd to run as an unprivilaged user.
  8. Configure vsFTPd to chroot (make the users home directory appear to be root) for regular users.
  9. Check that vsFTPd is functioning as you would expect.
  10. Have your server checked by the instructor.

Bonus (+2): Configure vsFTPd so that one of your users cannot log in with FTP but all other users still can. This should only affect this usr's ability to FTP to the server. They should still be able to login to the server.
