Sorry for opening a thread on this, but solution I tried for 2 hours did not work. If find the following errors while trying to log in with FTP: Code: Sep 20 12:55:59 aerotronicvds proftpd[9079]: localhost.localdomain (::ffff:130.89.137.92[::ffff:130.89.137.92]) - FTP session opened. Sep 20 12:55:59 aerotronicvds proftpd: PAM-listfile: Refused user ***user*** for service proftpd Sep 20 12:55:59 aerotronicvds proftpd(pam_unix)[9079]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=::ffff:130.89.137.92 user=***user*** Sep 20 12:56:01 aerotronicvds proftpd[9079]: localhost.localdomain (::ffff:130.89.137.92[::ffff:130.89.137.92]) - PAM(***user***): Authentication failure.

No luck. I think I better send proftpd.conf per PM. Thanks so much in advance for your help! Aldert

Can you comment out these two lines and restart ProFTPd? Code: AuthPAMConfig proftpd AuthOrder mod_auth_pam.c* mod_auth_unix.c Does it work then?
Hi Falko, Thanks for your time, it works better now: Code: Sep 22 15:05:34 aerotronicvds proftpd: proftpd shutdown succeeded Sep 22 15:05:35 aerotronicvds proftpd: - setting default address to 127.0.0.1 Sep 22 15:05:35 aerotronicvds proftpd[24024]: localhost.localdomain - error setting IPV6_V6ONLY: Protocol not available Sep 22 15:05:35 aerotronicvds proftpd[24024]: localhost.localdomain - ProFTPD 1.3.0 (stable) (built Wed Sep 13 17:13:34 EDT 2006) standalone mode STARTUP Sep 22 15:05:35 aerotronicvds proftpd: proftpd startup succeeded Sep 22 15:06:03 aerotronicvds proftpd[24033]: localhost.localdomain (::ffff:82.92.***.***[::ffff:82.92.***.***]) - FTP session opened.

Can you check that your user is existing in /etc/passwd, and that there are only unique user IDs in /etc/passwd?
It appeared that the user was accidentally in ftpusers, so that it's conn. was refused ;-) Afterwards I was having problems with 'directory listing', but that could be solved with passive connection. Thanks for your time!
