Helo,
I have created one group called RBAC.(roll back access control)

Now when I created user of RBAC its entry in /etc/passwd file is given below:

roleadm:x:120:109:RBAC User:/home/pds_RBAC:/bin/false

I have keep at the end /bin/false because I dont want to give direct login to the user on the system

But RBAC type of user is not able to FTP to system.

can you tell me why this happen. what is needed to enable FTP for user

Regards,
Amit

Ensure that the user is not in /etc/ftpusers

This file keeps a list of users prohibited from using FTP

edit the /etc/shells file and put a line

/bin/false

then edit your /etc/passwd file and then try the default shell to /bin/false

hope it works
thanks

I know this is a bit obvious but, have you set a password for the user?
