Mark, Yes, they can sign on successfully. The failing user-id is oracle, which we used to install the oracle DB.
If I do a "ftp 127.0.0.1" it connects, but when I sign on, it still gives me the login failed message. I don't have a local firewall configured/active. I do have the proxy configured, because without it, I can't get outside our local network. Beyond that, I don't know what else to look for. What's puzzling is that my user-id works. But it was configured before I configured/activated vsftpd. The oracle is was set up after I configured vsftpd. if that matters. Thanks, Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

Does ftp login work for a user local on the ftp server (like if they got on to the machine console and did "ftp 127.0.0.1" using their id they actually succeed)? Cause if it does, it sounds like something on the network is causing the problem ... like a firewall authentication, bad host to ip translation, etc. There are some threads on web reporting similar network based issues. If it doesn't work even for local connections, it's likely some configuration on the system, like a non-existent login shell program, local firewall setting or something. - Mark Ver office: Building 710 / Room 2-RF-10 phone: (845) 435-7794 [tie 8 295-7794] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
