LinuxQuestions.org - pure-ftpd with winbind, cannot authenticate

Its a shot in the dark, but I've wasted too much time to just go home empty handed today.

I've been trying all day to get pure-ftpd to work using winbind and active directory. I've set samba up and connected everything to the domain controler. These work fine:

* using "getent passwd" lists all the domain users along with the local
* using "wbinfo -a user%pass" authenticates with active directory

However, no matter what I do, if I try to log into the ftp site using a domain user, I get:

Code:

Aug 18 17:17:09 crm pure-ftpd(pam_unix)[14673]: could not identify user (from getpwnam(rjersey))

anyone have a clue? I'm not the first sysadmin who has hit this wall on configuring this server. In fact, the project has outlived 2 other administrators. Any help would be well appreciated.
