I setup a box for a friend recently, and he's having a problem I've never seen. I installed proftpd, and configured it (ie I have the /etc/pam.d/ftp file). Regular users can ftp in just fine, but "popusers" - users I created with linuxconf as POP only accounts, get put in the group popusers, and have a shell of /bin/false, and have /bin/false added to /etc/shells - cannot. This is the error that gets logged when they try ftp in. PAM_pwdb: get passwd; pwdb: request not recognized I've checked the archives, but don't see a match. Anyone know what the problem is? tia charles -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
