FTP problem: cannot access FTP as a 'real' user, but can get in as anonymous

Hi...

I see that I'm not the only one with this problem! Unfortunately, the solution
was probably sent to the first poster's email, so I can't share in the relief..

I am running Linux 1.2.3 from the Slakware 2.2.0 distribution. I can FTP
into my machine as anonymous and login successfully, but I cannot log in as
myself or any other user (I get:

   530 User fox access denied...
   Login failed.

Help?

Please post your answer here... it seems this is a problem for more than one
of us.

Thanks in advance!

Check your /etc/ftpusers file.  If your username shows up in this
file on a NON-commented line, then that username is not allowed to come
in to the machine via telnet even with a correct password.  People
like root (who could cause damage) are not allowed in normally --
security risk...

1. anonymous ftp won't 'ls' in Solaris 2.6

Hi,
    Our anonymous ftp 'ls' has stopped giving a proper directory
listing.
It used to work just fine.  Now it just says 0 bytes!

Just to be sure, I installed the latest Recommended Patches cluster for
2.6.
I then re-installed the anonymous ftp directory using the script that
comes with the man page for 'ftpd'. This didn't change the behavious of
'ls'.

Has anyone else seen this?
