I guess some people hope to find here remote shell xploit, huehue.
Calm down, not this time ;) OK, let's go. Everything happens on
vanilla RH 6.1 box.
$ man ftpaccess
guestserver [<hostname>]
Controls which hosts may be used for anonymous or
guest access. If used without <hostname>, denies all
guest or anonymous access to this site. More than
one <hostname> may be specified. Guest and anonymous
access will only be allowed on the named machines.
If access is denied, the user will be ased to use the
first <hostname> listed.
This one looks especially interesting: "If used without <hostname>, denies
all guest or anonymous access to this site."
Hmm, let's try:
# echo guestserver >>/etc/ftpaccess
$ ftp 0
Connected to 0.
220 FTP server ready.
Name (0:marcys): ftp
331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.
Huh ? Pretty funny :) Now there're 3 possibilities:
1. ftpd bug
2. man page bug
3. I'm misunderstanding all this stuff
Which one's correct ?
PS.: One thing I'm sure. There is a bug in manpage. Patch? It's
straightforward - just do:
sed -e 's/ased/asked/g' /usr/man/man5/ftpaccess.5 >~/abc ;
mv -f ~/abc /usr/man/man5/ftpaccess.5
;))
