-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I've been banging my head against the wall on this for quite a few hours now, and it's really starting to aggravate me at this point, so I'm really hoping someone can help. I'm trying to setup something fairly simple in proftpd. I'm wanting to setup an account, for which a username, and password are required to login. I'll first provide the relevant section of /proftpd.conf, and then will describe what the problem is: - ---begin proftpd.conf section--- <Anonymous ~ftp/user_dir> AuthUsingAlias on AuthAliasOnly on UserAlias user_name ftp UserPassword user_name user_password_run_through_crypt AnonRequirePassword on # Allow logins if they are disabled above. <Limit LOGIN> order allow,deny AllowUser user_name DenyAll </Limit> RequireValidShell off User ftp Group nogroup - ---snip--- </Anonymous> - ---end proftpd.conf section--- However, I can't login: 331 Password required for user_name Password: 530 Login incorrect. Login failed. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> quit 221 Goodbye. In proftpd.log, I see: ANON user_name (Login failed): Limit access denies login. I've also tried commenting out AuthAliasOnly in proftpd.conf, and changing the login limit to say: <Limit LOGIN> order allow,deny AllowUser ftp DenyAll </Limit> and the login results are the same. In the logs though, I see: USER ftp (Login failed): No such user found. I suspect this is a PAM issue, and I don't really know of a way to get around it, well, I do actually, but I don't like it. The only way I know to get around this, is to add an extra ip to the server's network interface, and setup a separate virtualhost in proftpd using that ip, which would have AuthPAM set to off, and that should do it. However, I really don't want to add another class C IP to my network interface, and then deal with routing, to make sure it's accessible from the outside. So, does anyone else have another way around this problem, or is PAM not the issue here, and I screwed up somewhere in the config? Thanks in advance for any help.
