Hello,
I am attempting to get proftpd running 'properly' on my Gentoo box. I
have largely copied the provided /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf.sample to
/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf. I can log in anonymously, and regularly as an
authenticated user. What's giving me grief is that in my system log
(/var/log/everything/current) I'm seeing the following during a login:
proftpd[24959]: [gentoo (e-mac] Permission denied_
- Last output repeated 8 times -
proftpd[24959]: [gentoo (e-mac] Login successful._
proftpd[24959]: [gentoo (e-mac] Permission denied_
There is also a significant time delay (5-15seconds).
I ran proftpd w/ debugging turned on, and captured the following tidbits
(i.e. the only things that looked out of place):
gentoo (e-mac[192.168.123.103]) - performing ident lookup
gentoo (e-mac[192.168.123.103]) - ident connection failed: Interrupted
system call
gentoo (e-mac[192.168.123.103]) - ident lookup returned 'UNKNOWN'
Which seems to indicate that it's trying to do an ident lookup. I
presume there is some way to turn that off?
And then there is this:
gentoo (e-mac[192.168.123.103]) - Unable to open group file /etc/group for
reading: Permission denied
which seems to indicate that proftpd is having trouble opening /etc/group,
so I checked the permissions on /etc/group, and they seem a little tight
to me:
gentoo root # ls -al /etc/group
-rw------- 1 root root 712 Nov 30 21:19 /etc/group
Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas on how to fix this?
TIA,
nuk

I know more than enough *nix to do some very destructive things,
and not nearly enough to do very many useful things.
