FTP Login fails

Qcheck — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 09:09:56 GMT

Hi All,

I am trying to ftp as prodctrl account and login is keep failing. We are using proftp-1.2.10-9.2.el4.rf

I could able to ftp as myself but not with prodctrl account.
My account is an NIS account and prodctrl is local account. Do I need to change any config file in order to enable ftp for local accounts??

Does any one has any idea???

Thanks and waiting for ur reply and it is urgent..

check /etc/shells

it should have the entry for the shell corresponding to the local user.

the shell of the user can be found from /etc/passwd file.

if the shell for the user in /etc/passwd is /sbin/sh than add this path in /etc/shells also.

best of luck

Shalom,

Clarification.

If /etc/shells does not have an entry for the shell field in /etc/passwd this can lead to the problem you are experiencing.

Hi

Check if the id is in ftcusers file under /etc/ directory because if the id is there then you can't login using Prodctrl id

Hi Padma,

No! Prodctrl id is not in /etc/ftpusers....

Check that the home directory exists and for prodctrl and the users has the right permissions over it.

Can you SSH as prodctrl?

What is your /etc/pam.d/proftpd configuration?

Hi Ivan,

Home directory for prodctrl exists with right permissions. And also I can ssh as prodctrl.

And the /etc/pam.d/proftpd file consists follows:

#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny file=/etc/ftpusers onerr=succeed
auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth required pam_shells.so
account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth

Thanks and waiting for the response.
