3.9.1. TUX FTP Server Security Features

The following are security features of the TUX FTP Server:

• Because TUX does not start per-client processes, the memory allocation overhead for each

FTP client logged in is less than 10 KB. This allows thousands of parallel connections.

• Paranoid parser and paranoid command-evaluation.

• Chroots to docroot.

• Never starts any external userspace process. All FTP functionality is done in a approxi-

mately 900 lines C module, in the kernel.

• Even in kernel mode the TUX FTP Server drops all priviledges and switches to uid and

group nobody.

• Only the most trivial globbing (mget *) supported, and no recursion support.
