Shell shock
Had to configure an FTP server (on this day and age!!!) on a CentOS 5 server...
Depression kicks in.
Any way, installed and configured the best FTP server I know, ProFTPD, of course, as usual, got the RPM from DAG. Compiling, unless you have a very special need, is for the birds, IMHO.
One thing tho, setting the shell to the regular '/bin/false' , wasn't working on my CentOS 5 install... It didn't allowed me to login to the server via FTP, tried with the really unsafe '/bin/bash' and bingo, it worked.
The solution, add the shell '/bin/false' to the '/etc/shells' file.
