Hi,
I'm trying to figure out why the following problem is happening.
I have a customer using Pure-FTPd w/Mysql authentication. The authentication process doesn't seem to be working properly. When I add a user to the MySQL table (db=pureftpd, table=ftpd) and I try to login using that username/password I get "Authentication Failed" from the Ftp server.
However, if I add a user to the Linux box, I can log in to the FTP server using that username/password. THat seems to present a load of security issues that I would prefer to avoid.
I'm pretty new to Linux but hear are some things I tried:
The installed package is "Pure-ftpd-mysql" from the package manager.
My SQL is up and running. PhpMyAdmin is also running.
The etc/pure-ftpd/auth directory has files called (30mysql, 50pure, 65unix, 70pam) - I understood that the lower # is the first to be tried.
Is there a log somewhere to see how the authentication is going and if there is an error in it? I've checked the var/log directory but couldn't find anything useful in there.
Any help would be appreciated.
