Lines: 69 Message-ID: <3rcvbl$fi0@ami.atnet.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: pppb.atnet.net X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent v0.55 Hello comp.unix.bsdi.misc, I have a problem I thought I would throw out to the world. After starting the latest ftpd, from ftp.bsdi.com, with the switch to use the ftpaccess file (-a), I am having the problem that real users can no longer access the system using ftp. The anonymous login works fine, and members of the wheel group work fine. Other 'real' accounts cannot get in, 'access denied' is the response. I am probably, hopefully, overlooking something simple. I've read the man pages, and support from BSDI is out of the question (didn't pay the premium, unless of course you consider the purchase cost, but hey what do you expect for $545 right?). Any help, of course, would be appreciated. I am including a copy of the ftpaccess file for your reading pleasure. >>>>> /etc/ftpaccess >>>>>>>>>>>>>> loginfails 3 class local real,anonymous * 205.199.6.0 class remote real,anonymous * limit local 10 Any /etc/msgs/msg.toomany limit remote 10 Any /etc/msgs/msg.toomany readme README* login readme README* cwd=* message /welcome.msg login message .message cwd=* compress yes local remote tar yes local remote # allow use of private file for SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS? private yes # passwd-check <none|trivial|rfc822> [<enforce|warn>] passwd-check rfc822 warn log commands real log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound shutdown /etc/shutmsg # all the following default to "yes" for everybody delete no guest,anonymous # delete permission? overwrite no guest,anonymous # overwrite permission? rename no guest,anonymous # rename permission? chmod no anonymous # chmod permission? umask no anonymous # umask permission? # specify the upload directory information upload /usr/ftp * no upload /usr/ftp /upload yes root daemon 0600 dir # directory aliases...
