CoreFTP / Secure Ftp Server (pure-ftpd) problems

Post by kgsubra »

Hi,

I am new to this secure ftp business and have run into lot of problems, specially as it relates to virtual users.

1. Core FTP works fine with the root user. Server is pure-ftpd
2. Try to create virtual users as outlined in pure-ftpd site.
a. create a dummy user with no shell and no home directory
b. create a dummy (this id would be used in virtual user) user also in OS with no shell and no home directory
c. create a virtual user using pure-pw useradd with proper directory for ftp transfers

Now, when I login as root using SSH, everything works fine.
When I login as virtual user using SSH, I get the following messages in core ftp log;
--->
server version: SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.6.1p2
version: SSH-2.0-SSH-Local: Nov 15 2003 10:04:31
Using SSH protocol version 2
processing group exchange
processing key exchange
host key fingerprint is:
ssh-rsa 1024 sequence of hex separated by :
Initialized AES-256 client->server encryption
Initialized AES-256 server->client encryption
Keyboard-interactive authentication refused
Sent password
Access denied
--->

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance
