<h1>Setting up clustered FTP</h1>
Configure vsftpd on each node on the cluster.<br><br>
Set up vsftpd to export directories from the shared cluster filesystem.
-<h2>/etc/sysconfig/vsftpd</h2>
+<h2>/etc/sysconfig/ctdb</h2>
-Create the file /etc/sysconfig/vsftpd with the content :
+Add the following line to the /etc/sysconfig/ctdb configuration file.
<pre>
CTDB_MANAGES_VSFTPD=yes
</pre>
chkconfig vsftpd off
</pre>
+<h2>PAM configuration</h2>
+PAM must be configured to allow authentication of CIFS users so that the ftp
+daemon can authenticate the users logging in.
+
+Make sure the following line is present in /etc/pam.d/system-auth
+<pre>
+auth sufficient pam_winbind.so use_first_pass
+
+</pre>
+If this line is missing you must enable winbind authentication by running
+<pre>
+authconfig --enablewinbindauth --update
+authconfig --enablewinbind --update
+</pre>
+
+<h2>Default shell</h2>
+To log in to the ftp server, the user must have a shell configured in smb.conf.
+
+Add the following line to the globals section of /etc/samba/smb.conf
+<pre>
+ template shell = /bin/bash
+</pre>
+
+<h2>Home directory</h2>
+FTP users must have a home directory configured so they can log in.
+Configure samba to provide home directories for domain users. These home
+directories should be stored on shared storage so they are available from
+all nodes in the cluster.<br>
+
+
+A simple way to create homedirectories are to add
+<pre>
+ template homedir = /<shared storage>/homedir/%D/%U
+</pre>
+to /etc/samba/smb.conf .<br>
+
+The homedirectory must exist or the user will not be able to log in with FTP.
+
+
<h2>Events script</h2>
The CTDB distribution already comes with an events script for vsftp in the file /etc/ctdb/events.d/40.vsftpd<br><br>
