Subject: [gentoo-dev] Normal user login with ProFTPd?
Date: Sun Aug 19 17:48:02 2001	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000101c12909$5c0bb480$0801a8c0@saucer> (raw)

Hi folks,

I'm a new Gentoo user (as of Friday) and so far I'm liking it a lot.
I'm coming from Debian and I like the inroads y'all've made in the
flexibility and packaging departments.  Not to mention being up to date.

Anyway, to the point:

I'm setting up proftpd and I've got it configured with xinetd to allow
anonymous access, but I can't figure out how to allow normal system user
accounts to log in and access their home directories.  I read through
the documentation on the proftpd home page and it seems that PAM is the
way to do this, so I did an 'AuthPAM on' in my proftpd.conf, but it
didn't Just Work(tm) and I'm not sure how to proceed.  I've only run
wu-ftpd before and it was an install, start, done kind of deal.


Thanks for any assistance you can render,

Will Rogers
