Hear hear! Ftp should never be used, except as anonymous. All our machine here use ssh. You can login, or run remote commands with ssh, copy files like rcp with scp. You can set things up so that you can log in without a password, if that's what you want. We've got it integrated with Kerberos, which is definitely cool. _Everything_ that goes across the network goes across encrypted. _All_ remote root access (telnet, ftp, ssh, etc) should be disabled. If there is remote root access, someone can pound on your root password remotely. If there is no remote root, they've got to compromise the machine, get a login, and then start pounding. Anything to raise the bar. ericb kj> Root is denied remote access by default as it is not a good idea kj> to send the login information across an insecure connection. kj> Kev kj> -----Original Message----- kj> From: benjamin.c [mailto:benjamin.c@lineone.net] kj> Sent: 31 March 2000 21:43 kj> To: suse-linux-e@suse.com kj> Subject: [SLE] FTP access denied kj> Hi everyone, kj> when i try and FTP into my box, it tells me that the access it denied kj> and in logs it get this error below kj> FTP LOGIN REFUSED (name in /etc/ftphosts) kj> FROM localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1], root kj> Mar 31 21:01:55 localhost ftpd[8779]: ACCESS DENIED (not in any class) TO kj> localh kj> ost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] kj> Mar 31 21:01:55 localhost ftpd[8779]: FTP LOGIN REFUSED (access denied) FROM kj> loc kj> alhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1], root kj> Mar 31 21:02:01 localhost ftpd[8779]: FTP session closed kj> -- kj> To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com kj> For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com kj> Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ kj> -- kj> To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com kj> For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com kj> Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
