Yeah it's weird I have done the exact same thing just placed a user in /etc/vsftpd.ftpusers same deal but it won't deny. Something posiibly wrong with my vsftpd install or /etc/pam.d/vsftpd. I need to check there first. Weird thing is I am using the original Redhat 8 package.

After your mail I put my login name to the /etc/vsftpd.ftpusers file and restart xinetd. It worked !!, I cant login to my ftp server. Check the /etc/vsftpd.ftpusers file again. --sanjeewa. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
