> * do you have pam in your USE variable in /etc/make.conf? |

The only edits I've done to make.conf are to uncommend the optimization |
| 4 |
options for 686 processors. The /etc/make.profile file has USE set to |
| 5 |
include all of the recommended options (including pam). My |
| 6 |
understanding is that this sets the defaults; make.conf customizes those |
| 7 |
defaults. Is this correct? |

The file exists. I tried using the default settings and the Red Hat and |
| 14 |
SuSE recommended settings from the README.PAM in the proftpd source |
| 15 |
archive, none seemed to work. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I downloaded the source and recompiled it (I had done a binary |
| 18 |
installation from the rc5 cd before) and it didn't change anything. I |
| 19 |
can still log in anonymously but not with my user account. There might |
| 20 |
be something basic I'm missing; has anyone else gotten this to work? I |
| 21 |
found it really tough to find documentation on logging in to system user |
| 22 |
accounts on the proftpd site. If someone could post a simple |
| 23 |
step-by-step maybe we could figure out where the problem is. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
A few more observations: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The binary I had first installed from the rc5 cd put its configuration |
| 28 |
in /etc/proftp/proftpd.conf, but the version I downloaded and compiled |
| 29 |
(both marked 1.2.2_rc3) put it in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf (note the |
| 30 |
difference in directory name). |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The default proftpd.conf file does not work out of the box--it causes a |
| 33 |
"could not change gid" error. I changed the "Group nogroup" to "Group |
| 34 |
nobody" and it worked fine. |
