After setting up the vsftp to use PAM as auth.
Somehow having the following error appeared in
tail -f /var/log/secure |
Sep 21 09:47:45 g-server vsftpd: PAM [error: /lib/security/pam_userdb.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32] |
and resulting user can’t login to ftp service at all.
Apparently is because the system is 64-bit..
so the library is sitting somewhere else… correction is as below
session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
# 32-bit
#auth required /lib/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_users
#account required /lib/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_users
# 64-bit
auth required /lib64/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_users
account required /lib64/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_users

it much easier to setup because it come bundled with redhat / centos .
I got better one after a few minute..
by adding this two line before line 602 (/usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/maindialog.py)
if (not isinstance (host.Hostname, str)):
continue
now it works like charms again.. hehe.. 😎
This was helpful. Summary: if the /etc/hosts file is not well-formed, the python script doesn’t handle it well. In my case, somehow a long entry that was commented out got “line wrapped”, leaving some uncommented garbage on the next line. Fixing the hosts file or adding the above patch “worked”. It seems that some complaint to the user should be generated in such a case, though.
@UncleOp , Glad it help.. thanks for dropping by..
