Essentially, I am trying to set up ftp accounts for 3 = users, each with there own unique username/password login - which are = working as verified by ssh - to use as a java servlet dev box. =20 The problem: I can not establish an FTP connection to port 21. When it = appears that I have an ftp connection, there is no directory listing nor = a list of the remote files. I have a small firewall (built-in to my = router), and have opened up ports 20 & 21. At one point I got a = "PAM(username) authentication error" - but everything looked good (to my = eyes) in the /etc/pam.d/ftp & ftpd files. I have the server running in standalone mode and is not enabled as inetd = service: [suplizio@dakota:~] $ ps -auxf | grep ftpd nobody 662 0.0 0.7 2144 1672 ??
