    I am attempting to configure proftpd on RedHat Linux. Anonymous ftp works but anyone with a real login gets 530: Login incorrect.

    This is the output of my netstat -tap:
    Active Internet connections (servers and established)
    Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
    tcp 0 0 localhost.localdom:2314 *:* LISTEN 9247/xinetd

    I have tried passive and active ftp. I cannot even log on using ftp locally as a valid user. I am new to Linux but well versed in Solaris. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks!

    What format for username are you using? Are you trying a system user, or a ISPConfig user? If ISPConfig user, I *think* you want to be using web1_username as the username format. I don't use ISPConfig, however, so I can't be sure. Is PROFTP logging? What do the logs say?
