oon as you succeed in logging in. That's a feature of every ftpd I've ever used in Unix - if the user's shell isn't listed in /etc/shells, they don't ftp. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.n

ProFTPd feature kept me from logging in

1999-07-31 Thread bruce
It turns out that ProFTPd would not log me in because my login shell was not listed in /etc/shells . It didn't do anything to _tell_ me that. I'd suggest it prompt for the login and password and then dump you with a message as soon as you succeed in logging in. Thanks Bruce
