From: Tru64 User (tru64user@yahoo.com)
Date: Tue Jul 09 2002 - 11:40:50 EDT
I received an idea from proftpd site to run trace. I
ran a trace on ftp as user was logging on, and
realized one differentiating factor between us. This
user had a 10 char passwd.
Changing it to 7 chars(haven't tried other higher
numbers)works like a charm. So now i will be back on
proftpd site to figure out how to enable it to take
whatever passwd the unix side accepts (if possible, or
simply limit our passwd lengths).
_Thanks
Richard
Original Post::
Greetings,
Been unable to deduce where problem might be, need
ideas......
Tru64 v4.0G, pk#3, Enhanced security
proftpd-1.2.5 and tru64 ftpd (running from inetd, not
at the same time ofcourse)
Problem::
a particular user changed her passwd (thru regular
"passwd") --No Problem.
She can log in fine thru ssh, telnet, cde, but not
proftpd ftp, gets error 530: Incorrect Password.
Logs show same thing, (Login failed):Incorrect
password.
However, when I switch from proftpd to ftpd (in
inetd.conf file, commenting one and uncommenting
another, then restarting ofcourse), she can log in
fine thru ftpd.
I tried changing my passwd to duplicate problem, but
everything works fine for me. No problems with either
proftpd or ftpd.
Shell is bash-2.05
proftpd compiled with tcp-wrappers and a custom prefix
only.
What am i missing?
Apart from this individual user, everything is OK so
far.
