NAME

6       pam_ftp - PAM module for anonymous access module
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pam_ftp.so [debug] [ignore] [users=XXX,YYY,...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       pam_ftp is a PAM module which provides a pluggable anonymous ftp mode
13       of access.
14
15       This module intercepts the user's name and password. If the name is ftp
16       or anonymous, the user's password is broken up at the @ delimiter into
17       a PAM_RUSER and a PAM_RHOST part; these pam-items being set
18       accordingly. The username (PAM_USER) is set to ftp. In this case the
19       module succeeds. Alternatively, the module sets the PAM_AUTHTOK item
20       with the entered password and fails.
21
22       This module is not safe and easily spoofable.
23

33           separated list of users: XXX,YYY,.... Should the applicant enter
34           one of these usernames the returned username is set to the first in
35           the list: XXX.

52           # ftpd; add ftp-specifics. These lines enable anonymous ftp over
53           #       standard UN*X access (the listfile entry blocks access to
54           #       users listed in /etc/ftpusers)
