vsftpd problems on 32-bit opensuse 10.3, 2.6.24

Hi.
Since I couldn't get proftpd running (a problem with compiling on 2.6.24, as I've googled), I've tried installing vsftpd according to the howto on opensuse.org. After I start xinetd and I try to do ftp localhost I get this, while logging on as anonymous:

Code:

And when I'm trying to log in as a normal system user I get this:

Code:

I've got no idea what to do with it. Help, please, I need it running before tuesday...

Why don't you try OpenSuse 10.3's RPM from here?

lordmorgul23 · 04-04-2008, 10:28 AM

Oh, well, never mind, I managed to install a new snapshot of proftpd from source. Though I'm also having problems with it... I can log in from the console, but not from my browser - when I type ftp://localhost in the address bar it gives me 404, same goes for external connections - even though noip and port forwarding are ok.

lordmorgul23 · 04-05-2008, 05:00 AM

OK, so vsftpd is working, but only if... I don't have a /etc/vsftpd.conf. So I can't change any settings. That is so weird. And by mistake i edited the /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf, so I don't even have the default file. Does anyone know, where does it read the current configuration from?

kotnik · 04-06-2008, 01:59 PM

It's default is /etc/vsftpd.conf, but distro can change that. OpenSUSE didn't as far as Google knows

Did you try to follow this page: http://en.opensuse.org/FTP_Server_HOWTO

lordmorgul23 · 04-07-2008, 10:09 AM

Yeah, I've installed it this way. But the problem is there is no /etc/vsftpd.conf.

lordmorgul23 · 04-08-2008, 08:49 PM

OK, I got it working somehow, I've improvised creating a new /etc/vsftpd.conf. But even though I've put local_enable=YES, I can't log in as a local user. After typing the password the server replies 530 Login incorrect.. Any ideas?
