The system is running vsftpd. Here is the contents of /etc/pam.d/vsftpd #%PAM-1.0 session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny file=/etc/vsftpd/ftpusers onerr=succeed auth required pam_shells.so auth include system-auth account include system-auth session include system-auth session required pam_loginuid.so My question is how can I tell which part of PAM has decide the password is incorrect? I tried putting the login name in /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers and I get a message about permission denied for the user, which is what I would expect. So I know when the name is not in the file I am getting passed that check. Thanks: Jack Allen </BODY> </HTML>
