In this case, a password +must be provided by the client before any file operations +may be performed. +.sp +The user name must not appear in the file +.I /etc/ftpusers. +.sp +The user must have a standard shell returned by +.IR getusershell (3). +.sp +If the user name is +.I anonymous +or +.I ftp, +an anonymous ftp account must be present in the password +file (user +.I ftp ). +In this case, the user is allowed to log in by specifying any +password (by convention, this is given as the client host's name). + +In the last case, +.I opieftpd +takes special measures to restrict the client's access privileges. +The server performs a +.IR chroot (2) +command to the home directory of the +.I ftp +user. +In order that system security is not breached, it is recommended +that the +.I ftp +subtree be constructed with care; the following +rules are recommended: +.sp +.TP +.B ~ftp +Make the home directory owned by +.I ftp +and unwritable by anyone. +.TP +.B ~ftp/bin +Make this directory owned by the super-user and unwritable by +anyone. The program +.IR ls (1) +must be present to support the LIST command. This +program should have mode 111. +.TP +.B ~ftp/etc +Make this directory owned by the super-user and unwritable by +anyone. The files +.IR passwd (5) +and +.IR group (5) +must be present for the +.IR ls (1) +command to be able to produce owner names rather than numbers. +The password field in +.I passwd +is not used, and should not contain real encrypted passwords. +These files should be mode 444. +.TP +.B ~ftp/pub +Make this directory mode 777 and owned by +.I ftp. +Users should then place files which are to be accessible via the +anonymous account in this directory. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR ftpd (8), +.BR ftp (1), +.BR opie (4), +.BR opiekey (1), +.BR opiepasswd (1), +.BR opieinfo (1), +.BR opiesu (1), +.BR opieftpd (8), +.BR opiekeys (5), +.BR opieaccess (5) + +.SH BUGS +The anonymous account is inherently dangerous and should +avoided when possible. In +.I opieftpd, +it is a compile-time option that should be disabled if it is not +being used. +The server must run as the super-user +to create sockets with privileged port numbers. It maintains +an effective user id of the logged in user, reverting to +the super-user only when binding addresses to sockets. The +possible security holes have been scrutinized, but are possibly incomplete. + +.SH HISTORY +The +.I ftpd +command appeared in 4.2BSD. + +.SH AUTHOR +Originally written for BSD, +.I ftpd +was modified at NRL by Randall Atkinson, Dan McDonald, and Craig Metz to +support OTP authentication. + +.SH CONTACT +OPIE is discussed on the Bellcore "S/Key Users" mailing list.
