    Hi,

    after updating to to v2.2.16 I can create webs and users as usual - they can log in using FTP, all seems fine.
    But ftp-users have no rights.

    When looking at the directories and files newly created by ISPconfig they all belong to root:root.

    The corresponding user and group (say web68_info:web68) do NOT exist - very strange.

    When creating these manually I can't FTP - when recreating them with ISPconfig, I get invalid user...

    Any ideas?

    Do you get any errors in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/ispconfig.log ?

    Well, I found this warning:

    I am using SuSE 10.1 and I think there was an issue with reiserfs and quota on my first install...

    Can you check in /etc/passwd and /etc/group if there are only unique user/group IDs?

    Yes, there are double entries -
    starting with web66 which seems to be the first account with this problem.

    How should I proceed? Delete both entries and recreate with ISPConfig?

    Thanks for your time,
    Ritch

    Are the dupliacte UserID entries from users that where created manually on the system?

    Yes I did create these users and groups manually, when trying to fix the issue.

    None of these 5 users show in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/users

    Are the usernames or the numeric userID's duplicate?

    Take a look here:

    /etc/passwd

    and /etc/group

    I recommend that you make a backup of the files /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow /etc/group and /etc/gshadow, then delete the users and groups that you added manually and then run the commands:

    pwck
    grpck

    and let them repair your files. ISPConfig is not able to recognize your manual changes, so they conflict now with ISPConfig.
