Sweet and Simple. Should be OK on CentOS 4, I’d imagine too.

The following will force SSL for ftp connections. Also, passive connections will be required as well.

1 – Add the following to your vsftpd.conf file:

pasv_address=192.168.1.1
pasv_min_port=40000
pasv_max_port=40100
ssl_enable=YES
allow_anon_ssl=NO
force_local_data_ssl=NO
force_local_logins_ssl=YES
ssl_tlsv1=NO
ssl_sslv2=NO
ssl_sslv3=YES
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/your_cert.pem


Restart vsftpd: service vsftpd restart

2 – If you have iptables setup on your box add the following to your /etc/sysconfig/iptables

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -p TCP --dport 40000:40100 -j ACCEPT

Restart Iptables: service iptables restart

That should be it.

This was actually made using Google Docs. Pretty neat!

Upgraded and surprisingly, no issues.  w00t

Sun assumes the X2100s are going to be run headless, and therefore, configures it output via the serial console. If you plugin a monitor into the video port on this nice little pizza box, you’ll end up w/ a blinking underscore. So, some safe advice… make sure you have access to a PC or laptop w/ a serial port and the appropriate cable. What makes this worse is that no where does it mention this in the supplied documentation. Doh!

I’ve not been willing, as with many of my peers, to install solutions from the big three AV vendors. Read on and come to your own conclusion.
