Does anybody else out there have problems using ftp between two local machines? FTP seems to work fine until we start adding users to the system. Then we can't FTP to any account on a remote machine except root. If we try to ftp to any other account, we get 'User <login name here> access denied' The same problem is on both the last and the latest versions of Interactive. One of the machines is running Interactive, the other is running VMS, but we don't think that is the problem, as it also manifests itself if we try to FTP to ourselves on the Interactive 386 machine (i.e. I am sitting on machine corpane: and do an "ftp corpane", it fails unless I tell ftp to log in as root). rcp however, works fine, as does telnet. -- John Sparks | | D.I.S.K. 24hrs 2400bps. sparks@corpane.UUCP | | PH: (502) 968-DISK A door is what a dog is perpetually on the wrong side of. - Ogden Nash

Do you have an /etc/shells file? A number of 386 TCP/IP implementations require it. This file should contain lines like this: /bin/sh /bin/csh with one line for each shell you have. Hope this helps. --Tom Spengler (spengler@tis.llnl.gov)
