Hi there, i nearly read all discussions on VSFTPD and delayed logins , but still have not solution yet ... my problem: customers wait about 20 second after ftp-connection to enter their login .. well personaly i dont care , but the ISPConfig's tcpserver starts an ident request to the customers 113-port , waiting for answer,reject or timeout to proceed .. so i need a heck to tell the tcpserver to let this be .. since it wraps around vsftpd and vsftpd itself has no options for ident-lookups , i suggest it is the tcpserver itself that performs this lookup just to stop proftpd-topic-crossposters: i will stick to vsftpd !! no way for proftpd so far .. depends :- ) thanks4comment best regards -c-
Well, I had the same problem and solved this with rejecting ident with iptables... I use firehol (http://firehol.sf.net) as iptables abstraction, for that I only need that line:
in my case i run ispconfig on a virtrual-server .. i dont have access to userspace firewalltables :-( .. i think there should be an option in some configfile for the tcp_server ..
very unoffending config: Code: # Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf # # The default compiled in settings are very paranoid. This sample file # loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable. # # Allow anonymous FTP? anonymous_enable=NO # # Uncomment this to allow local users to log in. local_enable=YES # # Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command. write_enable=YES # # Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022, # if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's) local_umask=002 # # Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only # has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will # obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user. anon_upload_enable=YES # # Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to create # new directories. #anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES # anon_umask=002 # # # # Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they # go into a certain directory. dirmessage_enable=YES # # Activate logging of uploads/downloads. xferlog_enable=YES # # Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data). connect_from_port_20=YES # # If you want, you can arrange for uploaded anonymous files to be owned by # a different user. Note! Using "root" for uploaded files is not # recommended! #chown_uploads=YES #chown_username=whoever # # You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown # below. xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log # # If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format xferlog_std_format=YES # # You may change the default value for timing out an idle session. #idle_session_timeout=600 # # You may change the default value for timing out a data connection. #data_connection_timeout=120 # # It is recommended that you define on your system a unique user which the # ftp server can use as a totally isolated and unprivileged user. #nopriv_user=ftpsecure # # Enable this and the server will recognise asynchronous ABOR requests. Not # recommended for security (the code is non-trivial). Not enabling it, # however, may confuse older FTP clients. #async_abor_enable=YES # # By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore # the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually do ASCII # mangling on files when in ASCII mode. # Beware that turning on ascii_download_enable enables malicious remote parties # to consume your I/O resources, by issuing the command "SIZE /big/file" in # ASCII mode. # These ASCII options are split into upload and download because you may wish # to enable ASCII uploads (to prevent uploaded scripts etc. from breaking), # without the DoS risk of SIZE and ASCII downloads. ASCII mangling should be # on the client anyway.. ascii_upload_enable=YES ascii_download_enable=YES # # You may fully customise the login banner string: #ftpd_banner=Welcome to blah FTP service. # # You may specify a file of disallowed anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently # useful for combatting certain DoS attacks. #deny_email_enable=YES # (default follows) #banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd/banned-emails # # You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home # directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of # users to NOT chroot(). #chroot_list_enable=YES # (default follows) #chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/chroot-list # chroot_local_user=YES # # You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by # default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large # sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume # the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for enabling it. #ls_recurse_enable=YES pam_service_name=vsftpd
i also reject port 113 outgoing now ( to reject ident/auth pavkages ) , but still with login-delay .. :-(
