Operating Systems Linux Red Hat RHEL 6 plain telnet & ftp servers Post 302740403 by rbatte1 on Thursday 6th of December 2012 06:20:50 AM

RHEL 6 plain telnet & ftp servers

I am being pushed from AIX onto RHEL 6 and after our first 'chuck it on' install, I have a problem. Where is the old (okay insecure) telnet & ftp server? I know that they are probably regarded as archaic now, but the source servers do not have the SSH tools, so I've got to somehow transfer the data.

Apart from this, I have CRT from VanDyke which is very nice, but the company will not pay the upgrade fee to get the SSH version, so that's going to be a pain.

I do have a closed network, so I'm not too worried about packet snooping.


For a 20+ year support of AIX (with forays into and eventually out of Solaris, SCO Unixware, Dynix, TI-UX) & HP-UX, I'm feeling especially vulnerable as I've never been so stuck. Internet searches send me all over the place without a good target. Smilie

I don't even have the client side tools installed.
Code:
# time find / -name telnet -o -name ftp        
/var/ftp

real    0m0.40s
user    0m0.19s
sys     0m0.20s
# time find / -name telnetd -o -name ftpd

real    0m0.40s
user    0m0.19s
sys     0m0.21s
#



Any suggestions? (without laughing please) Smilie

If I can get the executables, I am happy to set up inetd.conf - oh no! Smilie Where's that gone now? Smilie What's all this almost empty /etc/inittab? Smilie

Despair! Smilie At least from HP-UX I've got the lvm commands such as vgdisplay.

I was aware of a reference sheet to ease conversions, but I can't seem to find that at the moment either. Maybe I'm just having a bad day. Smilie

ftpd_selinux(8) 					 ftpd SELinux policy documentation					   ftpd_selinux(8)

NAME
ftpd_selinux - Security-Enhanced Linux policy for ftp daemons. DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux provides security for ftp daemons via flexible mandatory access control. FILE_CONTEXTS SELinux requires files to have a file type. File types may be specified with semanage and are restored with restorecon. Policy governs the access that daemons have to files. Allow ftp servers to read the /var/ftp directory by adding the public_content_t file type to the directory and by restoring the file type. semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/ftp(/.*)?" restorecon -F -R -v /var/ftp Allow ftp servers to read and write /var/tmp/incoming by adding the public_content_rw_t type to the directory and by restoring the file type. This also requires the allow_ftpd_anon_write boolean to be set. semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_rw_t "/var/ftp/incoming(/.*)?" restorecon -F -R -v /var/ftp/incoming BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is based on least privilege required and may also be customizable by setting a boolean with setsebool. Allow ftp servers to read and write files with the public_content_rw_t file type. setsebool -P allow_ftpd_anon_write on Allow ftp servers to read or write files in the user home directories. setsebool -P ftp_home_dir on Allow ftp servers to read or write all files on the system. setsebool -P allow_ftpd_full_access on Allow ftp servers to use cifs for public file transfer services. setsebool -P allow_ftpd_use_cifs on Allow ftp servers to use nfs for public file transfer services. setsebool -P allow_ftpd_use_nfs on system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
