I'm running the latest release of ProFTPd on RH7.3 and I'm having some trouble with the UserOwner Directive. I'm running proftpd in standalone mode and launcing it from the root shell...here is part of the conf file:

<Directory /var/ftp/uploads>
GroupOwner ftp
UserOwner ftp
<Limit STOR CWD MKD>
AllowAll
</Limit>
<Limit READ RMD DELE>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Directory>

The log file says:

chown(/uploads/test.zip) as root failed: Operation not permitted

Any ideas? Groupowner works fine....



 
The obvious question is you're using a filesystem that supports ownership/rights metadata right? You can chown files manually right?

Also does proftpd have a debug mode (like 'sshd -d') that will tell you exactly what it's doing?
 
yes I can chown manually as root. I just checked the man and it does support -d. Ill run that and post my findings.
 
here is the resulst of running at -d5 (still wont chown):

Only thing I can figure is it's dropping privileges at some point, either to that user or to the 'ftp' user, because regular users can't chown files.
 
Not sure if you have used it or not, but here is what I have tried:

I start the server using xinetd now under user=root. In the conf file, there is a setting for user/group under which the ftp will run after it has been started by root. In that section I have tried root/root ftp/ftp and nobody/nobody...without success.

User that logs into ftp is part of the ftp group. I wonder if it is trying to chown of the files as the user and not root....I suppose I could set the conf to allow root login and check it that way....

any other thoughts? If this doesn't work, couldnt a simple cron script run every 1 or so do a global chown on the ftp dir?
 
even when i log in as root, it wont do chown through proftpd....i verified again that i can manually chown....which i can. weird....
