access denied when ftpaccess is used

[Jdamian]

Hi

Users cannot ftp to my system when -a option of ftpd daemon is used.

The steps are:

1. I edit /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file and type

suppresshostname yes

2. I edit /etc/inetd.conf file and type -a option for ftp entry.

3. inetd -c

4. Run ftp.

Connected to mysys.
220 FTP server (Version 1.1.214.8 Fri Apr 20 07:27:42 GMT 2001) ready.
Name (mysys:joe):
530 User joe access denied....
Login failed.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.


Can anyone help me ?

Thanx a lot.

Hi,

One quick way of finding out the issue is to enable ftpd with -l option in /etc/inetd.conf and then refresh inetd with -l option.

Then look at your syslog.log and you should be able to figure out the reason like "bad shell" etc.,

Hi

Do you have an

ftpusers and ftpusers.exceptions files within /etc/ftpd ?

You should have a "class" entry in your ftpaccess file.

Here's an example from the /usr/newconfig/etc/ftpd/examples/ftpaccess file:

class local real,guest,anonymous *.domain 0.0.0.0
class remote real,guest,anonymous *

Hope this helps,

Also

You need to define the class within ftpaccess

class local real mbnahp81 localhost
class remote real xxx.xxx.* xxx.xxx.*

To allow access for servers on subnets within your site

Hi,

Make sure you have 'class' statement in your ftpaccess file that has "*".

For ex.,

class all real,guest,anonymous *

The user name isn't in the /etc/ftpd/ftpuser file is it?

That would do it.

Its counter intuitive, but listing a user in that file denies access.

Typo.

Name of file is

/etc/ftpd/ftpusers

Duh.
