There's 3 machines, all essentially the same, 5106. Each of these has the same group of users designated as system admins.
When attempting to ftp to *ONE* box as *ONE* of the admins, login is successful, but the session fails, not finding the user's home dir, though it clearly IS there. Other admin users' homes are ftp accessable with no problem, as are various site users who have FTP access. Shell access to the problem user's home is fine. Ftp fails with "Permission Denied" with PWD command: 230 User tigerwolf logged in. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> pwd 550 PWD: Permission denied Yet the same user can change to to other directoies: ftp> cd /home 250 CWD command successful ftp> pwd 257 "/home" is the current directory Working through the directory tree, it gets to the numerical user, but there's nothing shown below that: ftp> cd .users 250 CWD command successful ftp> ls -al 227 Entering Passive Mode (98,100,9,15,245,83). 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 17 09:59 . drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 Feb 3 05:33 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 7 2012 112 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 7 02:05 22 226 Transfer complete ftp> cd 22 250 CWD command successful ftp> ls -al 227 Entering Passive Mode (98,100,9,15,254,47). 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 7 02:05 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 17 09:59 .. 226 Transfer complete ftp> Yet, there is a directory there when examined from a shell: [root@unci 22]# ls -al total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 7 02:05 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 17 09:59 .. drwx------ 9 tigerwolf users 4096 Jun 23 14:35 tigerwolf In the other two machines, the same user exists, and ftp works just fine. All permissions on involved directories appear identical. I'm not sure if this is an ftp problem or maybe something else, but I've compared machines and can't figure out what's causing the issue. The user name's not in /etc/ftpusers on any of the boxes, ftp is enabled, hosts allow/deny files are OK, and the user can log in and access their home from a shell, just not with ftp. Any ideas? -- =^_^= Tigerwolf _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
