Hello! First off, I'd like to say thanx for the great job you've been doing with the port. It has not gone unnoticed :) I'm having some trouble getting proftpd to run child processes something other than root. Actually, it sort of does but I'm not sure. I'm running proftpd 1.2.1 on FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE. When I do do a ps and a sockstat, it appears proftpd has switched to the correct user: <sunnie> ~$ ps auxw | grep proftp nobody 239 0.0 1.8 1320 524 ?? Is 16Jan94 1:50.82 proftpd: proftpd (accepting connections) (proftpd) ftp 4169 0.0 3.3 1360 980 ?? I 1:31PM 0:00.21 proftpd: proftpd: ftp - 192.168.0.3: anonymous: IDLE (proftpd) <sunnie> ~$ sockstat -4 | grep proftp ftp proftpd 4169 0 tcp4 192.168.0.1.21 192.168.0.3.2350 ftp proftpd 4169 1 tcp4 192.168.0.1.21 192.168.0.3.2350 nobody proftpd 239 0 tcp4 *.21 *.* However, when I do a top, under "USERNAME" it is root: 239 root 2 0 1320K 524K select 1:51 0.00% 0.00% proftpd 4169 root 2 0 1360K 980K select 0:00 0.00% 0.00% proftpd My problem is, when I try to use FreeBSD's firewall (ipfw) user id (UID) based filtering, it recognises the owner of the processes as root and not as ftp. Can anyone shed some light or provide an alternative solution? Furthermore, I've tried changing the user/group directives in proftpd.conf to root/wheel from nobody/nogroup, but I get the exact same result. I tired this on my friend's Debian Linux box, and the top shows it as "ftp". Any ideas? I have thought about running it from the ftp account, however I'd to use port 21 and have access to the shadow passwords. Here's the pam.conf if it helps: <sunnie> ~$ cat /etc/pam.conf | grep ftp ftp auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass ftp account required pam_unix.so try_first_pass BTW, ftp is obviously an anonymous account. I have included my proftpd.conf file as well: <sunnie> ~$ cat /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf # # To have more informations about Proftpd configuration # look at : http://www.proftpd.org/ # # This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to # 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server # and a single anonymous login. It assumes that you have a user/group # "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.
