Hi. I have a problem for the FTP to work, I’m beginning learning about QNX. I have uncomment root in /etc/ftpusers and I still get
'530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using Binary mode to transfert files.
ftp> ’
I did verify etc/hosts, etc/resolv.conf, etc/netstart, and etc/ftpusers,
Do you have an idea ? I need to solve that problem quick as I finish a thesis,
thanks,
aladiah
Is “inetd” running? (just type “inetd” from command line of it isn’t and all will run nicely!)
Where are you connecting from/to?
inetd must be running, otherwise he wouldn’t get that 530 error.
aladiah, does ftp work for other non-root user? does root use a non standard shell? is it defined in /etc/shells ?
Thanks very much for the quick answers! here are the results :
I did type inetd on my target machine, I have the answer ‘#’, I don’t have any /etc/shells , the ftp doesn’t work for other non-root user also and my host machine is my computer with Win 2000 and my target is a PC104 main stack with QNX 4.25 installed,
Any idea ?
thanks,
aladiah
If it doesn’t work for any user, it’s probably the “security patch” to blame.
Please post “sin ver” output, and “ls -l /etc/pass*”
I bet you have installed the qcrypt security patch but you are still running the old tcpip (ftpd) which doesn’t understand the new passwd format.
ok I try that
here is the result :

After if I type “ls -l /etc/pass*” , here is what I have :
ls -l /etc/pass*
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 156 Jan 01 00:03 /etc/passwd
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 121 Jan 01 00:04 /etc/passwd.bak
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 40 Jul 25 2003 /etc/passwd.qcrypt
For me it is like chinese ?!?!
the file /etc/passwd.qcypt indicates that you have installed the QNX 4 qcrypt security patch. So basically, the passwd format has changed and that’s why ftp won’t let you in. You will need to upgrade your tcpip, which, hopefully, will “understand” the new passwd:
thanks it works. I have another questions… 
I’m installing QNX 4.25 on another PC104 for my work and It detected a disk with 977 cylinders instead of 1987, how do I force him to take the number of heads, cylinders and sectors I know it’s right?
thanks for your help,
aladiah
