I am running a Sun 3/280 under SunOS 4.1. I recently set up the ftp anonymous facility according to the Sun documentation. The passwd entry for the ftp account is as follows: ftp:*:386:600:ftp anonymous login:/home/ftp:/bin/csh The anonymous facility works well, but now others users, who have accounts on our machine, cannot use ftp. A typical session goes somethings like this: nilas.eol.ists.ca % ftp eol.ists.ca Connected to eol.ists.ca. 220 eol FTP server (SunOS 4.1) ready. Name (eol.ists.ca:collins): collins 530 User collins access denied. Login failed. ftp> This occurs whether I am attempting to run ftp from a client of eol or an independent machine. Can anyone point me at the problem? Thanks!!

We had the same problem as far as I can remember. FTP check the file
/etc/shells to see if the login shell is O.K. !! So put the shells of
users running FTP to /etc/shells. I heard there could also be troubles,
if you will use different paths for the same shell in /etc/passwd and

My experience has been that I can ftp as myself to the NIS server, but not the clients. From that I take it that ftpd doesn't know how to use NIS. Web (usenet) ...!uunet!rocket!dove phone (603) 885-9163 (internet) <dove@rocket.sanders.com> fax (603) 885-0631
