530 Must perform authentication before identifying USER. in RHEL5

[Yaboto]

Hi,

While I am trying to FTP to my Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5, here is what I am getting:

C:\Users\shalom>ftp 10.7.2.101
Connected to 10.7.2.101.
220 localhost.localdomain FTP server (Version 5.60) ready.
User (10.7.2.101:(none)): root
530 Must perform authentication before identifying USER.
Login failed.
ftp>

I could not ftp with any user account.
Please Help !

You need kerberos credentials for your user and a ftp client that supports strong authentication.

If you don't need/want that, edit /etc/xinit.d/gssftp and remove the -a option in the line that reads "server_args = -l -a".
