what is the shell for the username you addedd..?

grep /etc/passwd --> show the output

Example:-

abcuser:LLbHRD5VUDITg:123:108:abcuser ,,:/home/ibmadm1:/usr/bin/sh --> shell ..?

or /usr/bin/true.?

Thanks,
Johnson

Hi,

what is the path of "ftpusers" file? It should be /etc/ftpd/ftpusers.

Also note that each restricted account name must appear alone on a line in the file. The line cannot contain any white space.

One more thing, you will get ftp prompt even login fails. but you will perform any action on this prompt until you login.

man ftpusers will be a good doc.

Hi,

Typo error in my last post...

>>>One more thing, you will get ftp prompt even login fails. but you will perform any action on this prompt until you login<<<

Should be

One more thing, you will get ftp prompt even login fails. but you will not be perform any action on this prompt until you login.

My sincere apologize for that typo error...

Hi ,
I gve the entry in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers file like this
root
daemon
bin
sys
adm
lp
uucp
nuucp
smmsp
listen
nobody
noaccess
nobody4
neeraja
# su - neeraja
$ ftp
ftp> ls
Not connected.
ftp> bye

After deleting the entry in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers file then also I got the same.
root
daemon
bin
sys
adm
lp
uucp
nuucp
smmsp
listen
nobody
noaccess
nobody4
# su - neeraja
$ ftp
ftp> ls
Not connected.
ftp> bye

what is the difference?

Hi,

You just got ftp prompt. It doesn't mean that you are get connected to any ftp server.

Let me explain..

You have added the neeraja user in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers file. So hereafter no one can use neeraja account to connect via ftp to the server on which you edited the file ftpusers.

Is that clear?
