tien86 · #1 08-29-2008

Hi eveyone,
Im newb in Unix. I just install solaris 10 on my VM. First program i install is midnight commander and did successful. The way i do is get binary packet from sunfreeware then add and edit the PATH variable.

My next program is ProFtpd i did same way

. Add packets ncurses-5.6-sol10-x86-local, proftpd-1.3.1-sol10-x86-local and edit PATH=/usr/local/sbin. It release 2 files (mb nescesery i think)
- /usr/local/sbin/proftpd* (i think to run program)
- /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf (i think for configure)

another is INSTALL from /usr/local/doc/proftpd/INSTALL etc. I follow from step 7(after installation) but its look zigzags...

if i run /usr/local/sbin/proftpd* it release

Quote:

- warning: the DisplayFirstChdir directive is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please use the DisplayChdir directive.

I see this program is very common, would someone help me what i should do next please. Thank you

.

look in /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf for DisplayFirstChdir and change it to DisplayChdir then the warning should disapear.

Can u help me some configure examples about LIMIT directive
Here I find the description but there no examples

Quote:

The Limit configuration block is used to place access restrictions on one or more FTP commands, within a
given context. Limits flow downward, so that a Limit configuration in the server config context applies to all
<Directory> and <Anonymous> blocks that also reside in the configuration; until it is overridden by a "lower"
<Limit> block. Any number of command parameters can be specified, against which the contents of the
<Limit> block will be applied. command can be any valid FTP command, but is generally one of the
following: CWD (Change Working Directory) Sent by client when changing directories. MKD / XMKD
(MaKe Directory) Sent by client to create a new directory. RNFR (ReName FRom), RNTO (ReName TO)
Sent as a pair by client to rename a directory entry. DELE (DELEte) Sent by client to delete a file. RMD /
XRMD (ReMove Directory) Sent by client to remove a directory. RETR (RETRieve) Transfer a file from the
server to the client. STOR (STORe) Transfer a file from the client to the server. In addition, the following
command-groups are accepted. They have a lower precedence than real commands, meaning that a real
command limit will always be applied instead of the command-group. READ All FTP commands which deal
with file reading (directory listing not included): RETR, SITE, SIZE, STAT WRITE All FTP commands
which deal with file or directory write/creation/deletion: APPE, DELE, MKD, RMD, RNTO, STOR, XMKD,
XRMD DIRS All FTP commands which deal with directory listing: CDUP, CWD, LIST, MDTM, NLST,
PWD, RNFR, XCUP, XCWD, XPWD ALL ALL FTP commands (identical to READ WRITE DIRS). Note
this group has the lowest precedence of all; it will not override a limit imposed by another command-group
(e.g. DIRS). Finally, a special command is allowed which can be used to control login access: LOGIN
Connection or login to the server. Applying a <Limit> to this pseudo-command can be used to allow or deny
initial connection or login to the context. It has no effect, and is ignored, when used in a context other than
server config, <VirtualHost> or <Anonymous> (i.e. using it in a <Directory> context is meaningless).
<Limit> command restrictions should not be confused with file/directory access permission. While limits can
be used to restrict a command on a certain directory, they cannot be used to override the file permissions
inherent to the base operating/file system. The following FTP commands cannot be restricted via <Limit>:
ABOR HELP MODE (not implemented, always S) NOOP PASS (use <Limit LOGIN>) PASV PORT QUIT
REST (use AllowRetrieveRestart, AllowStoreRestart) STRU (not implemented, always F) SYST TYPE
