I've tried to reorder this into a comprehensible conversation (apologies
if the order isn't perfect!)

Redhat Linux 9 2.6.7
After installing vsftpd via redhat rpm, I notice that any user has full access to the system and can modify and delete files any where. It seems vsftpd is ignoring permissions.
How can I go about fixing this? I don't know what I am looking for in the config file for vsftp.
Thanks Daniel -----

Hi,
Could you explain abit more about what you want setup- eg, do you wish anonymous access to be granted to download files, or do you wish for only users to login. Also, if the case if for several users to logon, which locations do you want them to access in the machine?
Regards, Ben

Ben,
I don't want anonymous access. I want each user to only be able to access what they have permission (rwx)to access i.e /home/username or any publicly
defined directory. As it stands if a user logs in as lets say bob they can go into /home/marry and delete the contents out of that directory, which they shouldn't be able to do.

# Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed by default if you comment this
out).
anonymous_enable=YESBy default all configuration should be in /etc and /etc/vsftpd

so what access do you want users to have?Already have that turned off, and I went through the man and online help file, along with the config file, but I don't see where I need to fix the problem with a user a loging in and being able to delete files they don't own.

You can chroot users into their home directories, you know - this will prevent them from doing any damage to your system at all.
I can't recreate your symptoms though - using ncftp and the standard ftp client, logging in as a local user I end up in my homedir and cannot change into anyone elses.
can you post your vsftpd.conf file? I'd like to know what the difference is...
can you login over ftp as a normal user and do an ls -l on /home?
what permissions does it show?
are your home directories globally executable/writeable (yes I know this sounds like a daft question)?
