I have asked endless people in the various IRC channels yet
nobody was able to help me. I am not able to connect to my FTP server
from anywhere. Remote or localhost. When I log in, I get a 530 User
access denied. If anyone could give me insights to this problem I would
be much appreciative.

Sincerely,
Scott W. Griffith

In particular, I believe ksh is not, by default.

this is probably a security hole.

/etc/inetd.conf
# See "man 8 inetd" for more information.
#
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -A

the -A did the trick for me. Could someone let me know what terrible
things someone could do to me with this set?

Try setting links for the files /etc/ftpaccess, /etc/ftpusers,
/etc/ftpgroups,/etc/ftpconversions to /usr/local/etc - this helped in
my case. If you don't have these files, read the Anon-FTP-Mini-HOWTO
and generate them yourself.

Hope this works, Jens.

I have read the man pages for 'ftpd' and 'ftpaccess' thoroughly.
All of the permission are set correctly, yet it still doesnt allow
any usage, local or otherwise.

I know that this sounds like an trivial problem and all, but I
have files offered on my WWW server that cannot go out either. Most
annoying.

Thanks for your help, it is MUCH appreciated.

Make sure that your reverse ip lookup is working in DNS. If you can
type nslookup and enter your ip address and you do not get a hostname
returned then I suspect that is the problem.

To add to the list...

c) Did you recently upgrade to Shadow passwords (or downgrade to
non-shadow)?

d) Does your name appear in /etc/ftpusers?

e) Can you login normally using your userID?

f) Can other users ftp using their accounts?

g) Does your sysadmin have a grudge against you?

h) Does on of the hackers/crackers on your machine have a grudge
against you? :-)

I'll post some more as and when I think of them ;)
