I have installed ssh and sftp on my potato box.
Packages ssh_1%3a2.3.0p1-0.11_i386.deb and sftp_0.9.5-1.0.1_i386.deb. I've installed them using apt-get with the following apt source line in /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://kde.tdyc.com potato main crypto optional qt1apps Now, according to the default configuration of the ssh server, the sftp server should be disabled: # Uncomment if you want to enable sftp #Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/sftp-server #MaxStartups 10:30:60 But when i try to connect to my server using sftp(client), it acually does start sftpserv, and everyone just can log in using sftp. This is with standard configuration, i have not changed the configuration myself. As additional information, sftpserv appears not to be running stand-alone. It is started when someone tries to connect to my server using sftp (just like a mailserver which is started using inetd or something). Am i doing something wrong here? Or, does anybody know how to actually disable the sftp server? Regards, Jochem Kossen
