Many thanks to Eddie Chen. Eddie called me, and gave me more explicit info on where to look, and what to look for (I'm a fairly new admin). The failing id, oracle, was in the ftpusers do not log list.
It now works. 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/ Please consider the environment before printing this email.
