It seems that ftpd doesn’t allow any login in 6.1. What’s the problem?

Thanks,
Alain.

Make sure you are running ‘inetd’ and that the user that is logging in has a password.

inetd is working because ftpd start but after entering login and password we get an
error.I
look at the following session. 172.20.20.4 is an UNIX server, 172.20.1.11 is a QRTP 6.1
server.

ftp> open 172.20.20.4

I also try to a NT server without any problem. I also remember having used ftp on 6.0
successfully.

Any idea?

Hello,

Probably you have /etc/ftpusers file containing user “root”.
That file contains names of users who don’t have ftp access allowed.

Didn’t work because of a misunderstanding of .rhosts and hosts.equiv.

But some things are strange.

In fact, hostnames are not necessary in hosts.equiv we can allow an user to use
ftp from any hosts.

  • user

The problem comes from /etc/hosts.

If the host where a valid user try to use ftp from, is not in /etc/hosts, then
the command is delayed by about 1’20’’ and then executed.

What is it done within 1’20’’?

Why the command is accepted after?

Why a ftp runs correctly and immediately on a Unix server where my station is
totally unknown ???


Thanks,
Alain.

This may be related to a problem that we were finding on our system
where we had set the unit up with a valid DNS server and then effectively
taken the DNS server offline from the system. When a user tries to login to
ftpd, the IP address is checked using a reverse DNS lookup (we found this
out by sniffing packets at our test unit) for domain information, since the
DNS server wasn’t there, there was no reply but our unit was still waiting
for it. We didn’t wait as long as two minutes but I would guess the lookup
times out after a certain amount if time and the ftpd continues on its merry
way.
