pure-ftpwho enabled, puredb enabled, all feature enabled

Just tell me if its work and if some libs is needed

Go http://www.freefileupload.net/file.php? … mipsel.ipk at bottom of the page for download

Sorry for my language i am french.

Can you upload the file again ?
Thanks.

Hello,

If you need it, i have compiled it also. You can find a package here : http://aorlinsk2.free.fr/openwrt/
You will have to install libelf before, since my package is not perfect and the dependencies are not configured...

In the package you have pure-ftpd and pure-pw, no ssl and funky features are compiled in.

If you wait the week-end you can even get the sources of the package.

Anael

Ok, thank you.

I have installed a version from florian's alphacore and I can't get passive mode working ... At work I am behind a NAT so I have to use passive mode.

pure-ftpd starting options
OPTIONS=-" -A -a 0 -c 10 -B -C 3 -D -E -f ftpd -H -I 5 -L 2000:8 -m 4 -p 65000:65100 -P xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -S 10.0.0.1,30001 -U 133:022 -w -x -X -i -O clf:/opt/var/log/pureftpd.log -R -g /var/run/pure-ftpd.pid -k 95 -Z"

iptables rules

# pure-ftpd open on port 30001
iptables -t nat -A prerouting_rule -i $WAN -p tcp --dport 30001 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.1:30001
iptables -t filter -A input_rule -i $WAN -p TCP --dport 30001 -d 10.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $WAN -p tcp --dport 65000:65100 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.1

any ideas ? thank you

Hi Anael!

I tried your package on a WGT634U running buildroot-ng R4927, and I have several problems with it using puredb authentication.

Generating pureftpd.passwd and converting it to .pdb is no problem, but:
# pure-pw list -f /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.passwd
Unable to open the passwd file: No such file or directory

But
# pure-pw show username -f /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.passwd
Works!

when I try to login with an ftp client:
ftp.info pure-ftpd: (?@192.168.0.3) [INFO] New connection from 192.168.0.3
ftp.err pure-ftpd: (?@192.168.0.3) [ERROR] Unable to read the indexed puredb file (or old format detected) - Try pure-pw mkdb

A similar configuration works on my opensuse 10.1.

best regards
Martin

You have to do pure-pw mkdb with input your pureftpd.passwd and output your pureftpd.db
This will 'compile' your .passwd file into a .db file.
Then run pure-ftpd and give the .db file as your puredb file.

Anael

Do you really think, I didn't do that? ;-)

The .db file is definitely there (I can see the accounts with hexdump -C), and I pass it's filename with the following options in S50pure-ftpd:

Anything wrong here?

And even, if there's something wrong with the .db file, it doesn't explain the following:

Do you use puredb?

Any clues?

root@OpenWrt:/etc/pure-ftpd# ls -l
-rw-------    1 root     root         2154 Jan  1  2000 users.db
-rw-------    1 root     root           88 Jan  1  2000 users.pwfile


root@OpenWrt:/etc/init.d# more S55pureftpd
#!/bin/sh
pure-ftpd -A -B -c 10 -E -g /tmp/pure-ftpd.pid -I 5 -l puredb:/etc/pure-ftpd/users.db -u 1 -U 111:000 -y 3:10 -Z

And this works, I mean you can connect to my FTP using the password defined in the users.db file and upload/download files without problem.

However, I also get

root@OpenWrt:/etc/pure-ftpd# pure-pw list -f users.pwfile
Unable to open the passwd file: No such file or directory
root@OpenWrt:/etc/pure-ftpd# pure-pw list -f users.db
Unable to open the passwd file: No such file or directory

Maybe my build is wrong somewhere, my patches to get the compilation work were maybe a bit too hacky...

I'll try to post the makefile there tonight.

Well, I tested pure-ftpd with exactly your options now, except for the different name of the db file and the pid file.
Still the same problem :-(
Recreating the db file doesn't help too...

Could you create a simple db file for me (one, that works on your system), for testing?
User test, password test, home = /tmp

What platform is your pure-ftpd running?
Mine is WGT634U with buildroot-ng R4927 2.6 kernel
Or does it require any other packages than libelf?

Martin

Here is what I do :
Please note that my passwd and group file looks like this :

root@OpenWrt:~# more /etc/passwd
root:ROOTPASSWORDHASH:0:0:root:/tmp:/bin/ash
nobody:*:65534:65534:nobody:/var:/bin/false
sshd:x:99:99:sshd:/var/empty/.sshd:/bin/false

root@OpenWrt:~# more /etc/group
root:x:0:
nogroup:x:65534:
sshd:x:99:

So I make your test user with uid and gid 65534

root@OpenWrt:~# rm test.pwfile
root@OpenWrt:~# pure-pw useradd test -f test.pwfile -u 65534 -g 65534 -d /tmp
Password: (test)
Enter it again: (test)
root@OpenWrt:~# more test.pwfile
test:$1$MhIDLrf0$2n26DEDQbaWTTQo.bLcZz0:65534:65534::/tmp/./::::::::::::
root@OpenWrt:~# pure-pw mkdb test.db -f test.pwfile
root@OpenWrt:~#

Anael, thanks a lot for your support!

I downloaded your file into my /etc/pure-ftpd directory and changed the command line of pure-ftpd to your test.db file.
But: still the same error.

Then I wanted to test if pure-ftpd worked with another authtype and enabled -lunix (/etc/passwd) before -lpuredb:
After doing that, I could login with the accounts in /etc/passwd AND puredb authentication suddenly worked too!
When I remove -lunix from the command line, puredb authentication returns the same error as before.

Additionally, regardless of which account I login with, I can't any see files on the ftp server, but I can CD to any directory within the account's root.
When I try to UPLOAD a file (with windows ftp or WS_FTP Pro) I get "553 I can only retrieve regular files".
The file size on the ftp server is 0 bytes after that, with the correct owner.
After that, I can see exactly the uploaded 0 byte files from the ftp client, WS_FTP Pro reports it's type as "link"!
Existing files with the same owner and/or permissions are not displayed.
Deleting those 0 byte files from the ftp client works.

Strange, isn't it?

Remark: pure-ftpd on my opensuse 10.1 works as exected, and never displayed such errand behavior.

Do you use this package on white russian, kamikaze or buildroot-ng?
Maybe this could be the cause of those problems?

best regards
Martin

I use this package with whiterussian post-RC5 (a snapshot from about 1 month ago). I have put the source of the package on the website too (for whiterussian buildroot though). Maybe you can try to build it with the buildroot-ng by tweaking the makefile into the new format.

I don't know if you tried adding the nobody and nogroup in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group ? Maybe this could help also.

At least maybe my configure patch is a bit dirty (cross-compiling does not work else), this may explain some strange behaviour...

On my side everything works flawlessly, I own a WRTSL54GS and my ftp server maps to a 2gb usb key without problems.

Anael, I followed your advice, and built my own package for buildroot-ng.
Although this I my first package ever, with your configure patch and the instructions on http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=31794 it was not that difficult to make it.
The Makefile for buildroot-ng looks a lot simpler than yours ;-)

And the result: My first tests showed no problems at all :-)

I will do further tests in the next days, and if everything is OK, I will post it so it can be included in the buildroot-ng tree.

Again, many thanks for your support.

Martin
