Very Computer

Please help, I have set up Slackware 2.0, and am on a SLIP connection.
Anonymous FTP works into my Linux box, but the Users I've assigned just
get the message "Login failed: user access denied"

Anybody know what causes this? I had the same problem with 1.1.2.

Thanks very much.

Anonymous logins work OK, for some reason. Only real users can't log in.

If you are using the tcpd server for your INET services (that is what the
Slackware distribution default setup is), you have to specify which hosts
are allowed to use those services in the /etc/hosts.allow file.

Not sure if /ect/hosts.allow is the solution. /etc/hosts.allow defines the
names of the hosts which are allow to use the local INET services (not names
of users). The users that you defined via useradd or adduser should have a
valid password in /etc/passwd. It always work for me. Someone also
experienced the same problem and it turned out the he was using a very old
version of the kernel (that's what he told me).
