[Net::FTPServer] Simple anonymous access

[Kral Gergely]

Hello everyone,

I am just trying to set up a server only with anonymous access to my
cmoputer version 1.103-1 from Debian Woody, but I can't make it work.

What I did:
Read all the documentation included in the package (though many things
are not understood).

Appended the line:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ro-ftpd.pl

to /etc/inetd.conf.

What I get:
Connected to localhost.
220 kage FTP server (Net::FTPServer/1.103-1 (RO)) ready.
Name (localhost:kralg): anonymous
331 Anonymous login OK, please send your email address as password.
Password:
230 Welcome l.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

--------
/var/log/ftpd.errors:
no ftp user in password file at
/usr/lib/perl5/Net/FTPServer/RO/Server.pm line 107, <STDIN> line 2.

-------------------
/etc/ftpd.conf:
# Default Net::FTPServer configuration file.
#
# $Id: ftpd.conf,v 1.11 2001/07/26 13:49:01 rich Exp $
#
# Normally this file resides in /etc/ftpd.conf, although you
# can override this by supplying a `-C filename' argument on
# the command line for ftpd.
#
# Documentation for this file is in the Net::FTPServer(3)
# manual page, section CONFIGURATION.

# debug: 1
# port: 8021
# daemon mode: 1
# run in background: 1

# maintainer email: address@hidden

error log: /var/log/ftpd.errors

allow anonymous: 1

# pam authentication: 1

chdir message file: .message

home directory: /
root directory: /

retrieve rule: $pathname ne "/etc/passwd" && $filename ne ".htaccess"
store rule: !$user_is_anonymous || $dirname =~ m|^/incoming/|
--------------

What can be wrong? I would really appreciate any help or a working
ftpd.conf file.

Thanks
