Hello,

I've been struggling to get vsftpd up and running on my Fedora 9 box. If I enable anonymous login, I can log in as anonymous with no problem, but when I try to login with my local user account I receive:

331 Please specify the password.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.

Below is my vsftpd.conf file. I also do have my username in the user_list. I can telnet with my local user, but not ftp.

Thanks,

are you using the correct login and password?
(not an emailadress like for anonymous login)
Some pointers in the log files?

Yes, I'm logging in with my correct username and password. I logging in the same way I do when I telnet into the server.

I've checked the /var/log/vsftpd.log file and all I'm given is:

Sat Jan 3 10:03:56 2009 [pid 10118] CONNECT: Client "127.0.0.1"
Sat Jan 3 10:04:06 2009 [pid 10117] [jsmith] FAIL LOGIN: Client "127.0.0.1"

I checked the /var/log/messages file but couldn't find anything either.

Thanks for your help

Anybody got any ideas what the problem is?
