Package: vsftpd Version: 3.0.2-20 Tags: grave Severity: important The error 530 vsftp bug has a large historial, and today i noted and found a root corner of the problem, in pam module...
in my case all my users have false shell so i think this its the reason why after commenting the line that request shell pam, i can login ok in ftp The bug was posted with very intensity in launchpad bugtracket for winbuntu cases https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vsftpd/+bug/869684 And find a real problem, seems that the root problem are in the vsftp pam module that comes with the vsftp package: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vsftpd/+bug/869684/comments/31 commenting the line that request a valid shell solves the problem that xplain why for some users work and for others not please solve that problem my configuration use local users, and as i tested in same environment as posted in the links that provided, i noted the lasteed that my shell users does not have valid shell .. later try with postgresql venenux setup users, and of course does not have valid shell either so i think now that the vsftp pam module must ve carefully revised Lenz McKAY Gerardo (PICCORO) http://qgqlochekone.blogspot.com
