Description Sean Smith 2005-08-02 14:00:13 UTC

At approximately line 110 in vsftpd.conf.example, the information about how to
set up a chroot environment for users is listed.  There is a small section in
that area which defines the default settings for the chroot_list_file which
defines (based on the settings listed below) the users that should be chrooted.
 Unfortunately, it seems that the code has been modified to change the default
file name and the example configuration file has not.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In vsftpd.conf, enable the following options:
chroot_list_enable=YES
passwd_chroot_enable=YES
2. Note at theis point that the default option on chroot_list_file is
/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.chroot_list
3. Start vsftpd: /etc/init.d/vsftpd start
4. Attempt to login to the server.

Actual Results:  
500 OOPS: could not open chroot() list file:/etc/vsftpd/chroot_list
500 OOPS: priv_sock_get_result
Connection closed by remote host.

Expected Results:  
Allow login and chroot based on the file's contents.

Comment 1 Sean Smith 2005-08-02 14:04:32 UTC

Created attachment 64954 [details]
My vsftpd.conf

Originally, the line stating chroot_file_name was commented out.  I had to
enable the line to fix my issue (or rename the chroot file, but I went with
uncommenting the file).

Fixed example conf to read

banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd/banned_emails
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/chroot_list
