Problem with FTP

castro_2 — Fri, 07 Dec 2001 15:24:28 GMT

The anonymous ftp works fine, but real users are denied access. In the ftpaccess exits the line.
# User classes...
class all real,guest,anonymous *
Thanks

Hello castro,

Did you restart your ftp server after you did the changes? Also, please send any messages in the syslog file (/var/log/messages) regarding this problem.

Regards,
Paga

Verify that your users' shells are all listed (with full path) in the /etc/shells file. If they aren't, ftp will deny access to accounts. This should be done even if your users' shells are invalid, like /bin/false.

The /etc/shells is OK
[root@hostname etc]# more shells
/bin/sh
/bin/bash
/bin/bash2
/bin/ash
/bin/bsh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/csh
/bin/false

Castro,

In your /etc/ftpaccess, what does the deny_uid and deny_gid lines say? Also, what are the uids of the users you can't login with? (check your /etc/passwd to know that)

Quit agree with Macro suggestion, check your /etc/ftpaccess. By default, redhat version 7.1 and above will block a range of uid for FTP access.
