In order to let MBSE BBS and your FTP server to both function together you must
|
|
|
|
|
organize a special file structure. Note that even if you don't setup an FTP
|
|
|
|
|
server you must still create a structure like this for the fidonet mailer,
|
|
|
|
|
if you don't, <strong>mail and files will get lost!</strong>
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this description is written for wu-ftpd, on your distribution there
|
|
|
|
|
may be another ftpd installed. <font color=red><u>Don't use mbftpd yet!</u></font>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
<H4>The filestructure I used is as follows:</H4>

If another DOS/Windows style mailer has access to your MBSE outbound you must
|
|
|
|
|
set the DOS path and Unix path in <strong>mbsetup</strong> (1.4.12 and 1.4.13) to
|
|
|
|
|
<strong>"m:"</strong> and <strong>"/opt/mbse"</strong>. Note that to get
|
2001-10-22 17:33:55 +00:00
|
|
|
forwarding of .tic files to work the <strong>tic_queue</strong> must be a
|
2002-01-27 14:59:50 +00:00
|
|
|
subdirectory of "/opt/mbse" too. You could actually use any drive letter for
|
|
|
|
|
the DOS path.<BR>
|
2001-10-22 17:33:55 +00:00
|
|
|
This means that a fidonet file attach from the dos_4dos public download
|
|
|
|
|
directory shall get the subject "M:\FTP\PUB\DOS_UTIL\DOS_4DOS\COMMAND.ZIP".
|
2002-01-27 14:59:50 +00:00
|
|
|
Only use this if you need it!

As you can see, anonymous ftp users can't get to the mail, non-public
|
|
|
|
|
downloads etc. Normally, your BBS users have unix accounts and will be able
|
|
|
|
|
to do a ftp login and access any directory on your system. Because the bbs
|
|
|
|
|
users have <b>mbsebbs</b> as their shell and this shell is not in the file
|
|
|
|
|
<b>/etc/shells</b> the ftp daemon will not let the bbs users in. So even
|
|
|
|
|
your own bbs users must login as anonymous to get files from the ftp server.
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
Note the following directory permissions MUST BE SET!!!!::: See also
|
|
|
|
|
the man pages for the DARPA ftpd server.

Note that all subdirectories under ../pub also must be owned by <strong>mbse
|
2002-01-27 14:59:50 +00:00
|
|
|
</strong> and group <strong>bbs</strong> and have at least mode 755 as long
|
2001-10-22 17:33:55 +00:00
|
|
|
as it are real bbs subdirectories. The bbs will maintain these directories
|
|
|
|
|
automatic and must have the rights to do so.

|
<P>
|
2002-01-27 14:59:50 +00:00
|
|
|
In the /opt/mbse/ftp/etc/group file, add the group bbs so that your directory
|
2001-10-22 17:33:55 +00:00
|
|
|
listings give the proper groupname instead of a number.
