Makes sense. I also had to implement a work around "scponly" for CentOS 5. Not fun.

I put a sftp server back up. Feel free to play around with it. This is a single sshd instance and a copy of the config is in the /pub directory of the anonymous user. I did not change anything in pam. The sftp users are selinux confined as user_u.

    server:  45.79.100.12
      port:  22
  username:  anonymous, anon, pub, public
  pw: (null) just hit enter

This message probably won't age well if I remove that node.

Updated this system. It should create accounts if you try to sftp to it. Just wait 2 mins and try the same name again. Any non system account 2 to 16 chars starting with alpha should work.
