The problem may be "guestuser *".
If you make guestuser *, then no one can login with user/password. All user
are assumed as guest and can access ftp home directory only.

Subject: FTP access with RH 7.2
This is probably a simple question for most experienced Linux users but
I have been trying to get FTP going for my new server for several weeks
with no joy. I can telnet to the server, I have enabled FTP in the
wu-ftpd file and restarted xinetd. I can open FTP from the telnet
command line but I cannot login to FTP from an FTP client program as
root or any other user name. I just want to FTP some files to the WWW
area for a simple website.
Here is the ftp log
~ Connected to westheimers.net, waiting for response...
< 220 westheimers.net FTP server (Version wu-2.6.2-11.72.1) ready.
> USER tom
< 331 Password required for tom.
> PASS *****
< 530 Login incorrect.
! Invalid username or password for westheimers.net
~ Could not login to westheimers.net
The user name and password is correct
my ftpaccess file is as follows:
# This file controls the behavior of the wu-ftpd
# ftp server.
#
# If you're looking for a graphical frontend to
# editing it, try kwuftpd from the kdeadmin
# package.
# Don't allow system accounts to log in over ftp
deny-uid %-99 %65534-
deny-gid %-99 %65534-
allow-uid ftp
allow-gid ftp
allow-uid tom
# Chroot all users to their home directory by default
# (comment this out if you don't want to chroot most of your users)
guestuser *
# If you wish to allow user1 and user2 to access other
# directories, use the line below:
# realuser user1,user2
# The ftpchroot group doesn't exist by default, this
# entry is just supplied as an example.
# To chroot a user, modify the line below or create
# the ftpchroot group and add the user to it.
#
# You will need to setup the required applications
# and libraries in the root directory (set using
# guest-root).
#
# Look at the anonftp package for the files you'll need.
guestgroup ftpchroot
# User classes...
class all real,guest,anonymous *
# Set this to your email address
email root@localhost
# Allow 5 mistyped passwords
loginfails 5
# Notify the users of README files at login and when
# changing to a different directory
readme README* login
readme README* cwd=*
# Messages displayed to the user
message /welcome.msg login
message .message cwd=*
# Allow on-the-fly compression and tarring
compress yes all
tar yes all
# Prevent anonymous users (and partially guest users)
# from executing dangerous commands
chmod no guest,anonymous
delete no anonymous
overwrite no anonymous
rename no anonymous
# Turn on logging to /var/log/xferlog
log transfers anonymous,guest,real inbound,outbound
# If /etc/shutmsg exists, don't allow logins
# see ftpshut man page
shutdown /etc/shutmsg
# Ask users to use their email address as anonymous
# password
passwd-check rfc822 warn
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! The more I learn about
Linux the more impressed I get!
TIA
