I just set up fedora core 2 with selinux enabled. I'm having a problem getting vsftp working. Here is what's happening:

Laptop:~ MikeF$ ftp 192.168.0.15
Connected to 192.168.0.15.
220 (vsFTPd 1.2.1)
Name (192.168.0.15:MikeF): flintm
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/flintm
ftp: Login failed.
ftp>


I had vsftp running before on FC2 without selinux. Is the problem that the vsftpd process cannot get rights to the user directory? How do I fix this?

I ran into the same problem, but on a FC5 machine running vsftp.

Here's what I did to correct the problem:

1. Log into the Gnome Desktop.
2. Click on System > Administration > Security Level and Firewall
3. enter password for root
4. on the Security Level Configuration GUI, click on the SELinux tab
5. click on Modify SELinux Policy to show list of applications.
6. click on FTP
7. check Allow ftp to read/write files in the user home directories
8. Click on OK button at bottom of GUI.
9. Restart vsftp

and that fixed my problem. Hope this helps someone outthere.
