[03:51] <elky> Flannel, he's gone quiet, is he talking to you privately?
[03:51] <Flannel> Nope
[03:51] <Flannel> I wonder if he thought we were just trying to shut him up
[03:52] <elky> then he's never going to get help. not much we can do about it
[04:45] <SeaPhor> well i am interested in learning all i can,,, if welcome here
[04:49] <SeaPhor> ok, thank you , sorry to have barged in, just saw this and have insatiable need to learn , g'night
[04:49] <Flannel> SeaPhor: Always welcome, yes.
[04:49] <Flannel> SeaPhor: although, this channel tends to be lower volume than #ubuntu itself
[04:50] <SeaPhor> Flannel, ?
[04:51] <Flannel> SeaPhor: What?
[04:52] <SeaPhor> i'm sorry,, i am confused,,, maybe i am in wrong place,
[04:52] <Flannel> SeaPhor: Where do you think you're trying to be?
[04:53] <SeaPhor> my mistake,,, i saw a response to someone else and joined this hoping to learn more
[04:54] <Flannel> SeaPhor: Right, You're welcome to stick around and see whatever transpires. But its a fairly low volume channel.
[04:54] <SeaPhor> ok,,,
[04:55] <SeaPhor> so questions are ok,,, ??
[04:56] <Flannel> SeaPhor: Of course. Although you might get answers sooner in #ubuntu
[04:58] <SeaPhor> granted, and i am not 1 of those that spam my query every 10 lines,,,
[05:02] <SeaPhor> i have config'd ssh to work and now have vnc -via (thru ssh) working great,,, now i am trying to get vssftpd working but it gives users total access to my whole box,,, how do i limit users to their own home dir?
[05:04] <SeaPhor> *vsftpd
[05:11] <afallenhope> SeaPhor: you're a cutie
[05:11] <afallenhope> lol
[05:11] <afallenhope> sorry just had to
[05:12] <afallenhope> Anyone know if you can have ubuntu and fedora share the same /home partition?
[05:12] <SeaPhor> you scare me afallenhope
[05:12] <afallenhope> you love me don't even lie
[10:36] <madeddie> SeaPhor, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/vsftp-chroot-users-limit-to-only-their-home-directory.html
[16:02] <SeaPhor> madeddie, Thank You! you are my new hero! that was perfectly what i wanted and needed
[16:41] <SeaPhor> madeddie, I just realized that I dont know how to monitor the ftp, other than netstat and things like that, i installed ftpmonitor from synaptics but cant get it to start,,, any help? or better suggestions on monitoring?
[19:28] <madeddie> SeaPhor, what do you want to monitor exactly? and ftpmonitor is a KDE applet, if you're running gnome it won't work just out of the box
[19:29] <SeaPhor> ahahh thanks madeddie ... just want to watch ftp and ssh thaffic on this box, and log it if possible
[19:30] <madeddie> ehm
[19:30] <SeaPhor> *traffic
[19:30] <madeddie> all traffic? or just logins?
[19:31] <SeaPhor> all if possible
[19:31] <madeddie> all traffic? you would have to set up a sniffer
[19:32] <madeddie> although i don't really see the use for that unless you're building a hackertrap honeybox
[19:32] <SeaPhor> ohh, just when logged and what they accessed
[19:32] <madeddie> ah, i guess most would be in /var/log/daemon.log and /var/log/auth.log
[19:32] <madeddie> just grep those for ftp and ssh
[19:33] <madeddie> ftpwho shows who is logged in right now, although i'm not sure vsftpd works with that
[19:55] <SeaPhor> cool, thanks for all your help madeddie
[19:55] <madeddie> sure thing
