[techtalk] PAM and ftp?

[stephanie1200 at netscape.net]

Hello, all.

Has anyone gotten PAM and ftp to play nice on Red Hat?  I have 2 systems, a 
6.1 and a 7.0, and both of them complain when I try to authenticate thru ftp, 
even tho regular logging in (ssh) works fine.

first off, they are both running wu-ftp, 2.5.0 and 2.6.1.  I have combed 
through all the ftpaccess, ftpusers, etc files and they look ok.  When I ftp 
either locally or remotely, I get this:

331 Password required for steph.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.


and /var/log/messages on the 6.1 box says  (i took out the ip addies):

Jan  5 11:06:59 redhat61 ftpd[17672]: PAM-listfile: Refused user steph for 
service ftp
Jan  5 11:07:00 redhat61 ftpd[17672]: failed login from steph @ 
redhat61.mydomain.com [x.x.x.x], steph
Jan  5 11:07:01 redhat61 ftpd[17672]: FTP session closed


and my 7.0 box says:

Jan  5 16:10:31 redhat70 xinetd[7115]: START: ftp pid=21770 from=x.x.x.x
Jan  5 16:10:33 redhat70 PAM_unix[21770]: authentication failure; (uid=99) -> 
steph for system-auth service
Jan  5 16:10:33 redhat70 ftpd: redhat70.domain: connected: IDLE               
                        
[then a bunch of blank lines]

                              [21770]: failed login from redhat70.domain 
[x.x.x.x]


I replaced the contents of /etc/pam.d/ftp with /etc/pam.d/sshd, no change at 
all.  I'm new to pam, but kind of familiar with the rigors of configuring 
wuftp.  I'm stumped. And sad. =(
