FTP login incorrect when user specified

1998-04-02 Thread gunfried geiger

Dear Linux Experts,

what might be the reason for the following behaviour of FTP when trying to
log into my Linux device: the client shows 'connected to 134.2.4.8'
but after specifying the user and the CORRECT password, it shows:
'530 Login incorrect. Login failed'
It can't be a problem of the hosts.allow and hosts.deny class i presume ?

 No; if it were an /etc/hosts.deny or /etc/hosts.allow issue, you
 wouldn't even get that far.  However, ftp denies normal users the
 ability to log in if their username is listed in /etc/ftpusers, or if
 the user has a non-standard shell.  (A shell is considered
 non-standard if it's not listed in /etc/shells).
 
 Could either of these be the case?
 
thanks for the hint (and for those of other people too)
 i checked both and found:
 denied are root, uucp, news
 allowed are /bin/sh bash tcsh csh and i use tcsh, but now also tried sh
 - no success

but: previously (months ago, before an update of some packages may be,
 as Tom Sailer suspects) everything worked well

?

 Hello
 
 I would like to know if it's possible to install Debian Linux without 
 partitioning the Hard Disk.
 
 Thank you
 

Perhaps you should try PartitionMagic to create a new partition without
deleting the existing one

Debian, Notebook, and Parallel CDROM

1998-04-01 Thread gunfried geiger


Dear Debian Community,

Could anybody give me a hint on where to find a 'notebook-howto' or the like?
Actually i'm trying to install Debian Linux version 1.3.1 from CDROM unto a
Siemens-Nixdorf PCD-5ND 75MHz Pentium Notebook.
The first obstacle: how can i get the external parallel port CDROM drive
(FreeCom) to work? I could not find a driver.
The second: how can i drive the Future Domain PCMCIA-to-SCSI adapter?
How can i drive the PCMCIA D-Link DE660CT ethernet adapter?
And, coming soon, how configure the graphics adapter (the manual tells it's a
C  T 65???)

In case anybody got experience with this, please hand it down to me

thanks

gunfried
