Hi, I hope someone can help me with this.

I have installed vsftpd-2.0.4 using the instructions from
BLFS-svn-20070111. 

I would like to enable users on this machine to upload files
to /somefolder/www/

Unfortunately I don't know how to configure /etc/vsftpd.conf to allow
this. Every time I try to connect (using gftp) I get
   530 Login incorrect.
   Disconnecting from site *********

My current /etc/vsftpd.conf is set up as follows:

anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
background=YES
listen=YES
nopriv_user=vsftpd
secure_chroot_dir=/var/ftp/empty
local_root=/somefolder/www/

I have the impression that I may need to configure Linux-PAM-0.99.4.0 to
allow users to login to ftp, but I'm not sure about this since no
mention is made of this in BLFS for the Linux-PAM instructions or vsftpd
instructions. The vsftpd bootscript has been installed and vsftpd
started. I have even tried to use a working vsftpd.conf from a working
setup on a suse-10.2 box and that didn't work, but that had a
configuration for PAM, hence my thinking along those lines. I've had a
look at the example configs in the vsftpd source tree and tried man
vsftpd.conf and I'm still none the wiser.

Can anyone help me with this or at least point me in the right
direction?

Thanks in advance.
Gordon
