Users with /bin/false shell to login on vsftpd


In Networking by Halil Demirezen over 6 years ago 0 Comment

With default configuration of vsftp (vsftpd.conf under /etc) users with no shell
or /bin/false shell are not able to login vsftpd ftp server. This is
because vsftpd.conf includes such a line to enable pam module.
pam_service_name=vsftpd

This line points to which pam service name will be applied. Pam configuration related to
vsftpd is then /etc/pam.d/vsftpd .
This pam file contains a file such as:
auth required

pam_shells.so

This means basically only the users who have valid shells will be authenticated. Setting
the shell to /bin/false of a user simply means that this user will not be able to login the
system via vsftpd. (ftp service).
To enable users with no valid shell to login the ftp server, commenting out this line
in /etc/pam.d/vsftpdfile will be sufficient.
Command ftp client
