User1: Flannel, he's gone quiet, is he talking to you privately?
User2: Nope
User2: I wonder if he thought we were just trying to shut him up
User1: then he's never going to get help. not much we can do about it
User3: well i am interested in learning all i can,,, if welcome here
User3: ok, thank you , sorry to have barged in, just saw this and have insatiable need to learn , g'night
User2: User3 Always welcome, yes.
User2: User3 although, this channel tends to be lower volume than #ubuntu itself
User3: Flannel, ?
User2: User3 What?
User3: i'm sorry,, i am confused,,, maybe i am in wrong place,
User2: User3 Where do you think you're trying to be?
User3: my mistake,,, i saw a response to someone else and joined this hoping to learn more
User2: User3 Right, You're welcome to stick around and see whatever transpires.  But its a fairly low volume channel.
User3: ok,,,
User3: so questions are ok,,, ??
User2: User3 Of course.  Although you might get answers sooner in #ubuntu
User3: granted, and i am not 1 of those that spam my query every 10 lines,,,
User3: 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?
User3: *vsftpd
User4: User3 you're a cutie
User4: lol
User4: sorry just had to
User4: Anyone know if you can have ubuntu and fedora share the same /home partition?
User3: you scare me afallenhope
User4: you love me don't even lie
User5: SeaPhor, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/vsftp-chroot-users-limit-to-only-their-home-directory.html
User3: madeddie, Thank You! you are my new hero! that was perfectly what i wanted and needed
User3: 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?
User5: 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
User3: ahahh thanks madeddie ... just want to watch ftp and ssh thaffic on this box, and log it if possible
User5: ehm
User3: *traffic
User5: all traffic? or just logins?
User3: all if possible
User5: all traffic? you would have to set up a sniffer
User5: although i don't really see the use for that unless you're building a hackertrap honeybox
User3: ohh, just when logged and what they accessed
User5: ah, i guess most would be in /var/log/daemon.log and /var/log/auth.log
User5: just grep those for ftp and ssh
User5: ftpwho shows who is logged in right now, although i'm not sure vsftpd works with that
User3: cool, thanks for all your help madeddie
User5: sure thing
