Title: Anonymous FTP
Post by: Danny Wong on December 03, 2003, 02:02:12 AM

I dont want anyone who does not explicitly have a username and password on SME Box to login to FTP.  IE NO username: anonymous password:somefake@emailaddress.com

Can this be done WITHOUT requiring VPN Local Network only FTP?  IE delete user ftp:x:123:90:FTP User:/var/ftp:/sbin/nologin or all in proftpd.conf via custom templates?

Thanks in advance.

Danny

I modified /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/proftpd.conf/50AnonymousePrimary
by commenting out anonymous access via public username.  This seems to work as anonymous is now nolonger valid user and is rejected as such.  Are there any security problems I missed by doing such modification?
