Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Vsftpd - Login incorrect

[Bruce S. <bw...@ar...>]

Did you check the logs, as I suggested before, to make sure you're not
wasting your time with pam?  I hate to "assume" pam is the problem, only
to waste a ton of time and find it was something else later.

Also, does anonymous access work?

When you get this working, PLEASE send us your pam file (or whatever it
turns to out be causing the problem) so we can add it to the DL CD. ***

I'm not a pam expert either, but here are some examples that may help:


>From a SuSE 10.1 box of mine:

======================================================================
#%PAM-1.0

# Uncomment this to achieve what used to be ftpd -A.
# auth       required     pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow
file=/etc/ftpchroot onerr=fail

auth     required       pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny file=/etc/ftpusers onerr=succeed
# Uncomment the following line for anonymous ftp.
#auth    sufficient     pam_ftp.so
auth     required       pam_unix2.so
auth     required       pam_shells.so
account  required       pam_unix2.so
password required       pam_unix2.so
session  required       pam_unix2.so
======================================================================


>From the vsftpd source tarfile, example for a "Redhat" system:

======================================================================
#%PAM-1.0
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny file=/etc/ftpusers onerr=succeed
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_shells.so
account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
session    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so

======================================================================


Virtural Users example from the vsftpd source tarfile:

======================================================================
auth required /lib/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd_login
account required /lib/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd_login
