Hi Roby,

RS> ...snipped
Mine says:
2.   The login name must be allowed based on the information in
                ftpusers(5)

Even if there is only one line saying
   * allow
in ftpusers it doesn't work. But it works for root!

Another thing is, that ftpd doesn't log to syslog, though inetd gives
it the "-l" switch.

I think, there's some misconfiguration due to the upgrade I made.
Maybe some files from the older version (1.5) were left, or there's a
problem with file access rights.

Regards,
 Alex                            mailto:AlexSorg@gmx.de
