Default Problem with UID 0, GID 0 and '(null)'

ioFTPD v4.1.0 + ioFTPDex.exe
Win2K Pro SP3

I think I've found a problem with user (uid 0) and possibly users in group with gid 0. Seems they are treated as 'nobody' or 'null'.

It started when I checked some stats. The username for 0:0 did not show in the stats listing:
200-| 01 | zer0racer @ crew | 954.6 |
200-| 04 | @ ioftpd | 0.0 |

And all folders in VFS owned by 0:0 is now owned by 'nobody'.
SITE CHOWN ioftpd temp
200 CHOWN command successful.
But still owned by 'nobody'.


And I suspect there is a connection to another strange error I got the other day. First I did a 'site who' and noone showed up (not even me). And there was another user downloading. Only who header and footer were displayed. I decided to logout. ioFTPD.log:
02-11-2003 10:11:02 LOGOUT: "FTP_Service" "" "crew" "siteop" "Zer0@217.210.127.169"
Looks like the username got a 'null' value here too. This problem doesn't appear instantly. This was after ioFTPD had been running for several hours, even a day or two.

And then restarted ioFTPD. The logout below was logged in ioFTPD.log:
02-11-2003 10:19:18 LOGOUT: "FTP_Service" "" "ind" "No Tagline Set" "*@[censored]"
This confirms that another user was logged in at the time.

Prior to that my Error.log showed alot of lines where a user was denied login due to lack of privileges, even if my services config allows login for all users '*'.

Exclamation ioFTPDex.exe crash

When I try to login with user who has uid:gid 0:0 I get this in Error.log:
02-12-2003 11:13:42 Host 'Zer0@217.210.127.169' did not match any of user '(null)' allowed hosts.
If my memory serves me right, this is an error a few guys have been asking about on efnet.

This user has IP *@127.0.0.1. So I tried to login to loopback.
02-12-2003 11:40:51 LOGIN: "FTP_Service" "(null)" "ioftpd" "0" "Zer0@127.0.0.1
ioFTPDex.exe crashed.

The standard ioFTPD.exe for v4.1.0 doesn't crash. Edit: Might crash anyway cause this problem only seems to appear after a couple of hours uptime.
02-12-2003 11:44:31 LOGIN: "FTP_Service" "ioftpd" "ioftpd" "0" "Zer0@127.0.0.1"
VFS shows correct owner.
Stats work too.
200-| 01 | zer0racer @ crew | 954.6 |
200-| 04 | ioftpd @ ioftpd | 0.0 |

I'm not sure if this bug is fixed in next version (but atleast I cannot find any way to replicate it myself... there's been tons of changes in login procedures again)

This problem occurs in 4.5.4 as well.

Owner of vfs showing up as 'nobody' in group ioftpd and %[$user] doesn't show at all for user 0:0 when doing site uinfo or checking stats etc.

Hi,


I had same symptoms with UID:GID 0:0. Default ioFTPD account caused (i think) my crashes, same for users in GID:0.
Several times before the crash when i was doing a !who it was showing me most of my users in GID:0 as nobody group (in 4.1.5 and 4.5.4).
Another thing was when i did a !users, it was showing me multiple ioFTPD accounts (?!?) and then it crashed a few after that (this one was observed in 4.1.5 only).

My only try was to delete UID:0 account et GID:0 group. Now io runs for 36h without crashing wich is a record...let's cross my fingers

What do you mean with !who? Does your botscript execute external command to determinate who is online, or logs into site via ftp/telnet and issues 'who/site who'? Anyways.. I haven't managed to cause buffer under/overrun since 4.5.4 (debugger spots such thing usually instantly)

To be clearier !who was an abusive lingo of my part, in fact i did a 'site who' command. I don't think my bug is relative to 'site who' command, i just observed strange status in user list by a who command. I feel like with time, users or file system is alterate, dunno why cause if it was users file or filesystem it should reproduce same thing after a restart of io but no...it happens with time (few hours), that's why i call it an alteration.
Now that no GID:UID 0:0 exists anymore it seems to be better but only time will tell it.

Another bug i already talk about is the rehash command that freeze new login...all that happens on NT4 Srv SP6a.
I guess i should try to reproduce my installation on a similar NT4 box to see what's happen.
