[Proftpd-user] chdir, permission denied

[Mattias B <br...@lu...>]

Hi,

I am trying to set up proftpd an a machine at home and running into some 
problems. In my configuration file in the 'Main Server' context I have:

AuthPAM            off
AuthUserFile       /etc/proftpd.passwd
AuthGroupFile      /etc/proftpd.group
RequireValidShell  off
User               nobody
Group              nobody

/etc/proftps.passwd contains one line:
brazze:$1$xydLLeaa$DI/4nnXlwo04tCiKRcFUP/:1001:1001::/var/priv_ftp:/bin/false

/etc/proftpd.group contains one line:
ftpusers:x:1001:

Now when I try to login as user brazze it doesn't work. The log tells me 
that:
Oct  1 13:07:23 tjocksmock proftpd[670]: 
tjocksmock(tjocksmock[127.0.0.1]) - brazze chdir("/var/priv_ftp"): 
Permission denied

I suppose that my permissions on /var/priv_ftp is wrong somehow. Am I 
correct in assuming that when brazze logs in the daemon will run as user 
nobody? I have tried setting the owner of /var/privftp to nobody but I 
got the same result.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Mattias
