VSFTP Server Setup

I am having a bit of trouble with the VSFTP configuration. Basically, if I try and log in with a created user and the correct password, it says authorization failed. My configuration file is as follows (minus comments) full file (with comments) at http://24.72.35.15/vsftpd.conf. It is based off some how-to or another.

anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
nopriv_user=nobody
ascii_upload_enable=YES
ftpd_banner=Welcome dude.
listen=YES
chroot_local_user=YES

Any suggestions?

try starting vsftp with -d for debug or -v for verbouse and look att the err mess.

or try reading the log an maybe increasing the logging.

I've decided to go with proftp. Thanks for you time, though.

What do you have in the file /etc/pam.d/vsftpd ?

It should show the following :

#%PAM-1.0

# Uncomment this to achieve what used to be ftpd -A.
# auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/etc/ftpchroot onerr=fail

auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny file=/etc/ftpusers onerr=succeed
# Uncomment the following line for anonymous ftp.
#auth sufficient pam_ftp.so
auth required pam_unix2.so
auth required pam_shells.so
account required pam_unix2.so
password required pam_unix2.so
session required pam_unix2.so

This also means that your users must have a shell which is listed in /etc/shells.

If you do not want that, comment out the line :

auth required pam_shells.so

I installed ProFTPD instead. Thanks for trying to help.
