From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: After an upgrade with yum from FC3 to FC4, some components don't work properly. There are many problems with software that depends on Berkeley Database db3. This software fails with db4 version of Berkeley. I have resolved all the problems but not one of them. And I don't know if the problem is the same (db4). vsftpd failed when users login and display this error: 500 OOPS: priv_sock_get_result Detailed login: Connected to localhost.localdomain. 220 Welcome to LT FTP Service. 530 Please login with USER and PASS. 530 Please login with USER and PASS. Name (localhost:userftp): userftp 331 Please specify the password. Password: ******* 500 OOPS: priv_sock_get_result Login failed. 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection Because I have a Berkeley database with "shadow" users on it, I don't know if this problem is with Berkeley, with PAM, etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vsftpd-2.0.3-1.FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect vsftp 2. Type user and password Actual Results: vsftpd returns 500 OOPS: priv_sock_get_result . Expected Results: ftp login correctly ... Additional info: The problem begins when upgrade the system from FC3 to FC4 .
May I have your vsftpd.conf file? Are you also using the recent version of PAM? There are some changes in PAM and the new vsftpd requires modules from the latest PAM version.
I think the problem is with pam or db4. vsftpd fails when I use "ghost users" and write a special /etc/pam.d/vsftdp file for authenticate those users. If I use this config pam vsftpd file (vsftpd.login is a Berkeley database): auth required /lib/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.login account required /lib/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.login vsftpd login fails everytime (works fine on FC3) But if I use original /etc/pam.d/vsftpd in Fedora, login works OK. I want to use a Berkeley database with "ghost users" because I nedd to create accounts only for ftp, without system account. pam: pam-0.79-9.4 vsftpd.conf: anonymous_enable=NO local_enable=YES write_enable=NO local_umask=022 anon_upload_enable=NO anon_mkdir_write_enable=NO anon_other_write_enable=NO dirmessage_enable=YES xferlog_enable=YES connect_from_port_20=YES #chown_uploads=YES #chown_username=whoever xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log xferlog_std_format=YES #ascii_upload_enable=YES #ascii_download_enable=YES ftpd_banner=Welcome to LT FTP Service. chroot_local_user=YES guest_enable=YES guest_username=virtual #ls_recurse_enable=YES user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd/users pam_service_name=vsftpd userlist_enable=YES #virtual_use_local_privs=YES listen=YES tcp_wrappers=YES
