Dear Sirs, We have got instaled RedHat Linux ver.2.2.14-6. After instalation we found following mistake. FTP server put these logs into /var/log/messages file: ..... ftp[581]: PAM-listfile: Refused user admin for servis ftp ..... ftp[581]: failed login from 192.168.1.15 ..... ftp[581]: FTP session closed And his PC said: ...... Name (192.168.1.15:pc): admin 331 Password required for admin. Password: 530 Login incorrect. Login failed. ftp> User "admin" is not in "/etc/ftpusers" file. He has "/bin/false" into passwd file. There is raw "/bin/false" in "/etc/shells" file. His IP address is in "/etc/hosts.allow" as raw "in.ftpd : 192.168.1.15". He put correct password. There are these raws in file "/etc/pam.d/ftp": #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny file=/etc/ftpusers onerr=succeed auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok auth required /lib/security/pam_shells.so account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so session required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so There are these modules in "/lib/security" directory: pam_listfile.so pam_shells.so pam_pwdb.so pam_ftp.so There are these files in "/etc" directory: passwd group shadow That Linux server system has MD5 authentication. I think this is all you need to know...... Be so kind and try to get me some help with fpt or PAM configuration. There is not some modul in Linux maybe..... Usual FTP server in Linux OS is correct. I installed this system many times and never I had not this problem. Thank you very much Your faithfully Vanek Mopos s.r.o. Czech Republic URL: http://www.mopos.cz
