Hi, I'm a customer of a couple of LxAdmin VPSs with CentOS.

After searching some info about making an anonymous FTP server, I decided to modify some parameters on pure-ftpd default installation. Works fine, except that I want to use 2 different users accessing to a same folder, the standard user and the anonymous user.

After seeing that, I decided to use ACLs to avoid the ftpd error "Sorry, we were unable to read [.]", but seems that ACLs maybe are not compatible with VPSs, or maybe I'm just lost ....

Any idea?

Thanks!

Well ... i guess ACL is not implemented in this kind of kernels, am I right?

also commands are not there.

Hi,

I think you need appropriate packages: for example on my Fedora node
$rpm -qf `which getfacl`
acl-2.2.39-3.1.fc7

I've experimented with ACL a little time on my node. So I guess that it is possible to use ACL on VPS but I've spent a very little time to affirm this issue for sure.

I'll be very appreciate you if try to use ACL inside VPS and if something will be wrong please report a problem there. Many thanks you!

Hi,

1.

I use CentOS

Is it your HN or VPS? Please specify the ostemplate of your VPS.
2. rpm -qa | grep acl (on HN and inside VPS)
3. if you have yum installed on your system you can simply do:
# yum install acl
(on HN) - to install acl package on HN
vzyum <VE_ID> install acl
(on HN) - to install acl package to your VPS's with VPS ID = <VE_ID>.

Seems that app installed perfectly.

This is a VPS, provider should check if is ACL inastalled on node.

About the ostemplate, i guess is "hostinabox" lxadmin on centos 4.5.

About the node, i can do nothing, maybe ask provider if they have that libs installed ... or maybe i can check that?

testing setfacl now .... never used it before! Wink
