I've just upgraded my server from 3.x to 4.2 stable.

I achieved this by a new installation of 4.2 on a new disc and then
swapping out my root disc to a new mount.

I installed the basic packages I have by default from CVsup and used the
ports make install.

Packages installed are

Apache, Samba, Netatalk, amanda, X

I then copied across the old password file to recreate users accounts.

Most things seem to work fine.

I can login as any authorised user under telnet, xdm, samba or pcnfsd.

However I am unable to login using ftp or as an appleshare over appletalk.

The machine is registered OK over appletalk and even allows printing via
appletalk.

The problem I am experiencing seems to be specific to uid/password
authorisation for the ftp and appleshare (netatalk) protocols. I am at a
loss as to where to tackle this problem. I have looked at auth.conf and
pam.conf but can't identify any problem.

Help would be appreciated as I have a number of apple users who would like
to regain access to their files!

Cheers,

Mike                         <URL:http://www-immuno.path.cam.ac.uk/~mrc7/>;
