Hi,

I will give some more info about my system.

I use Suse 6.1 which uses kernel 2.2.5 I have no patches applied and I
am using the 'out of the box' kernel , so I didn't recompile.

I've run over the FAQ (the one I talked about before) and done
everything it says to the letter (I even created a user called mort as
in the FAQ). I have tried it with wu-ftpd 2.4.2 and with 2.5.0 versions
but they both come back with the same result.

I think somehow the ftd (or something else) try's to open the shell for
that user but sins the shell doesn't do anything it comes back with an
error that it cannot logon. (I think something uses the shell to start
somthing else (sins my knowledge stops about a 100 feet back this all
goes over my head)) I can understand why it would do something like
that, but I can't find why it does that.

Ian Guthrie came with the ".profile" it does work, but I'm not shure if
that is the sollution because that may be compromisible (?). but for now
it may be a sollution.

Thanks all for the help... If anyone has any other ideas or had the same
problem, please mail...

Greetz Vincent...
