Subject: [928] 530 User fred access denied...

Hi all,
I just installed wu-ftpd 2.4 on another SUN running Solaris 2.3.
I made the same configuration as on a system where it's already running properly.
I double checked it. The Anonymous FTP works quite well, whereas the real
user login leads to:
530 User fred access denied...
Login failed.
whenever you enter a real user-id.
Does anybody has a hint on that error message number or on the nature of the
problem ?
Thanks in advance, Stefan.

  If the user's shell isn't '/bin/sh' or '/bin/csh' then it needs to be 
in /etc/shells.  (Check the SYSLOG (Or where ever your sessions are 
logged) to see why the user was denied to see if they mentioned 
'bad shell', or something like that)

  Hope this helps,
   -Nick

These are defined in the ftpaccess file, or perhaps /etc/ftpusers. look 
for user "fred" in the ftpusers file, and double check the deny commands 
in ftpaccess.

Perhaps he is also using Shadow Passwords on his system but hasnt compiled
in SHADOW support.  That looks very similiar.
