> I have a RHEL 4 system.  A user outside of our network previously was able to FTP to the system.  Now he is not.  The log shows the following:
>
> 2011 Jun 15 13:23:48 myserver [authpriv.notice] vsftpd: pam_unix(vsftpd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ftp ruser=myuser rhost=1.1.1.1   user=myuser
>
> If I log in as the user from on our network, it works just fine.
>
> What do I need to check to troubleshoot this?

Also, the output of:

getent group myuser
