500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in 'ftp_username':ftp
I've been tearing my hair out over this: vsftp does not work on any of my RedHat Server 5.x systems - I keep getting a variation on 500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in 'ftp_username':ftp or 500 OOPS: cannot locate user entry:nobody (different errors on different systems). I spent some time on google trying to find a solution, to no avail. I even tried to build from source but ran into other issues.
No matter what I change the ftp_username value to, I get the same result. The ftp & nobody users exists in /etc/passwd Code:
ftp:x:14:50:FTP User:/var/ftp:/sbin/nologin nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/:/sbin/nologin Code:
anonymous_enable=YES local_enable=YES write_enable=YES local_umask=022 dirmessage_enable=YES xferlog_enable=YES connect_from_port_20=YES xferlog_std_format=YES nopriv_user=ftp listen=YES pam_service_name=vsftpd userlist_enable=NO tcp_wrappers=YES check_shell=NO ftp_username=ftp Code:
passwd: files [NOTFOUND=continue] nis group: files [NOTFOUND=continue] nis hosts: dns [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=continue] nis [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=continue] files networks: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files protocols: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files rpc: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files publickey: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files netgroup: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files automount: nis files aliases: nis files services: nis files Code:
# ps -ef|grep vsftp root 28607 1 0 Jul01 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf |
