http://www.wu-ftpd.org contains the definitive answer. There is a guest howto there, but I suspect you're not even that far yet. That said, you probably do not have a wu-ftpd issue. wu-ftpd authenticates using PAM, so to understand everything, you need to know how PAM works. From a shell, try the following: ftp localhost log in and after it fails, do: tail /var/log/messages tail /var/log/secure You also need to differentiate if the problem logging in is from the outside world or from your localhost. Many problems are caused by incorrectly setting firewall rules. If you can ftp to localhost but not from an external box, then the problem is not wu-ftpd. Do all your debugging from a shell. Many GUI clients hide the error messages that the server gives you. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
