Hi! I have installed proftpd, and I have a slight problem. It's running as a standalone server, and it works fine with two users I created "by hand". However, if I create users with pdadduser and use the expect script mkpasswd (in /usr/doc/expect???/examples :D), the users can login through telnet, but not through ftp. The passwords are 7 or 8 characters in length, so that should not be a problem. The configuration of proftpd just makes sure the users are tucked away in a www directory inside their $HOME. This directory is accesible by the user. syslog doesn't record anything, only that I closed the session down.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks, Jose -- Jose L Gomez Dans PhD student Radar & Communications Group Department of Electronic Engineering University of Sheffield UK
