500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in 'ftp_username':ftp
I've been fighting this for about a year: 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. The only way I've been able to get around this is to re-install with an older version of RedHat.
No matter what I change the ftp_username value to, I get the same result.
The ftp & nobody users exists in /etc/passwd
Here's my vsftpd.conf file (comments removed for brevity)
/etc/nsswitch.conf
We have a user that is sending rather large print jobs to a windows printer, we need to track them down and advise a sensible approach to printing. The only thing that shows up in the windows print manager is the IP address of the source.
Is this achievable?

Hi I am using the vsftpd ftp server.
I am using it for the wordpress that I run.
The folder /var/www/wordpress/wp-content has only root write permission.
No one else has right permission to it.

But no other user should have that... (1 Reply)

I enabled log_ftp_protocol=YES and checked the vsftpd.log,
it didn't help much actually. The log file only... (6 Replies)
