Our customer has a box that we need to access via telnet and ftp. The
telnet works fine but the ftp won’t allow anybody to login. I don’t think
it’s the qcrypt problem but I am not sure. Any suggestions on what might
have gone wrong. It was working here until we shipped it there and some one
stated playing around. I can’t even ftp to the localhost the error is 530
login denied.
Thanks,
Paul
Does netstat -an show anything listening on port 21?
If no, check /etc/inetd.conf
Is /etc/ftpusers messed up?
Set it empty, -rw-r–r-- root root
Add a user with no password. Can you ftp then?
Maybe a qcrypt problem. Chksum ftpd.
After telnetting to the machine, can you ftp to 127.1?
Firewall or proxy server problem?

maybe?? what could cause the problem? I can connect and enter user and
pass, so I assume that this is OK.

This does not match our version at all. Our’s is the new crypt version
dated 6 Dec 2000. Does the cksum you report match that on your home
machine?

no
One more thing - assuming ftpd is not broken, it may be a shell thing -
see #3 below. BTW, I erred in suggesting a blank password would work.
\
The username must be in the password database /etc/passwd and must
not have a null password. The client must provide a password before any
file operations may be performed.
The username must not appear in the file /etc/ftpusers, which
contains a list of users who aren’t allowed to use ftp. One username is
listed per line. If this file is missing, anyone on the local system may
access ftp.
The user must have a standard shell (i.e. one listed in /etc/shells).
If the username is anonymous or ftp, an anonymous ftp account must be
present in the password file (user ftp). In this case, the user can log
in by giving any password (by convention, users give the name of the
client host).

Thanks for the help Richard. I’ll have to spend some time next week trying
some more of your suggestions.
