Anonymous User Options - Red Hat ENTERPRISE LINUX 5 - DEPLOYMENT Deployment Manual

• userlist_deny — When used in conjunction with the userlist_enable directive and set
to NO, all local users are denied access unless the username is listed in the file specified by the
userlist_file directive. Because access is denied before the client is asked for a password,
setting this directive to NO prevents local users from submitting unencrypted passwords over the
network.
The default value is YES.
• userlist_enable — When enabled, the users listed in the file specified by the userlist_file
directive are denied access. Because access is denied before the client is asked for a password,
users are prevented from submitting unencrypted passwords over the network.
The default value is NO, however under Red Hat Enterprise Linux the value is set to YES.
• userlist_file — Specifies the file referenced by vsftpd when the userlist_enable
directive is enabled.
The default value is /etc/vsftpd.user_list and is created during installation.

permissions.

• anon_root — Specifies the directory vsftpd changes to after an anonymous user logs in.
There is no default value for this directive.
• anon_upload_enable — When enabled in conjunction with the write_enable directive,

world-readable files.
