I am currently upgrading some gridftp servers from a quite old version
of globus to the latest version. These were special-purpose gridftp
servers in which most of the users did not actually have a home directory.
Now I get the following error message:
bash-3.2$ ./gftpcheck
error: globus_ftp_client: the server responded with an error
500 500-Command failed. : callback failed.
500-globus_sysconfig: Could not find a valid trusted CA certificates
directory
500-globus_sysconfig: Could not find a valid home directory for the
current user
500-globus_sysconfig: File is not a directory: /dev/null is not a
directory
500 End.
I do indeed have /dev/null listed as the home directory for this user in
the /etc/passwd file. Is that no longer allowed?
