Are you by any chance using NIS ( YP ) ?
I have found that the stock AIX ftpd only authenticates against the local
passwd file.

I was just about to file an error report when I read the man page :
"The user must have a password in the password database,
/etc/security/passwd. (If the user's password is not null, the client
process must
provide that password.) "

I regard this "Feature" as BAD = (Broken As Designed ...) but I guess
support just would reply WAD = ( Working As Designed)

Check the permissions on /dev/tty, make sure they are 666, I had this
problem once before myself.

Hello,

I have found the same question a couple of months ago also in this
newsgroup, and now we are experiencing the same problem...but nobody
has ever given an answer, I think...

When I log on as root-user and I ftp to an other - or my own - machine,
ftp works perfect. When I log on as ordinary user, the connection is
made, the login is asked, but ftp never asks the password and tells me
that login is failed.

As quoted by Denny Hardian:

sxxfyynzz:username:/u/username>ftp sxxfyynzz
Connected to sxxfyynzz.
220 sxxfyynzz FTP server (Version 4.1 Fri Jan 21 07:25:28 CST 2000)
ready.
Name (sxxfyynzz:username): username
331 Password required for username.
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
ftp> bye
221 Goodbye.
sxxfyynzz:username:/u/username>

We have exactly the same problem...

A solution would be greatly appreciated...

What about telnet? Does that work to the machines in question?
(Speculating about trouble with .netrc files)

Telnet, ping etc. work fine. When we automise the ftp (.netrc-file) the
ftp works also fine. But this isn't a solution if you want to ftp with
different users on the remote machine.
An ftp from the remote machine to our machine works also.

Hi Kris,
since root can login but not any other user i suggest that you have an
filesystem security problem.
For trouble shooting create a new directory under "/" and create a user
which home directory will be there.
Check out now how ftp will behave on the new user.

Happy debuging

Thanks,

But this isn't the solution. I have tried it and the result is the same.

Greets,

The only other thing that comes to mind is the /etc/ftpusers file, but
in that case the login via .netrc should also be blocked (unless you
used a different user name)

What shells are your users using, same as root?
Is the shell listed in /etc/security/login.cfg?
