Data FTP User
Dear Unix geeks,

I am shocked and upset that I couldn't solve the below issue.
One ftpuser was using his account for years to get data from server but reported an error today.
Code:
220 (vsFTPd 2.0.4)
Name (10.130.9.71:root): rbiftp
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/rbiftp
ftp: Login failed.
ftp> by

So I modified /etc/passwd file to some other dir and tried. Same error was returned. I deleted and recreated that user again. Still the same. No changes were done at server end.

Pls help.

NAME

       colorgcc - colorization wrapper for gcc

SYNOPSIS

       colorgcc [OPTION]...  [FILENAME]...

DESCRIPTION

       colorgcc acts as a wrapper around gcc(1) to ease reading its output by colorizing it.

OPTIONS

       Since colorgcc is a wrapper around gcc(1), it has the same command line options as gcc(1).

USAGE

       At  your shell prompt, set your CC environment variable to 'colorgcc'.  This may be done in several different ways, depending on what shell
       you use.

       In a Bourne-compatible shell (bash, ash, zsh, pdksh), type:
       export CC="colorgcc"

       In a C shell variant (csh, tcsh), type:
       setenv CC "colorgcc"

       Refer to your shell's documentation for more information on setting environment variables.

FILES

       /etc/colorgcc/colorgccrc
	      System-wide configuration file for colorgccrc.

       $HOME/.colorgccrc
	      Personal configuration file for colorgccrc.
