Users created but cannot login (FTP and shell)

I have an ISPConfig 3 server with opensuse 11.1.

Until now i had only one client with one site, one ftp account and one shell account. Everything is working nice (I cannot login to stats and i have post a thread for that, that's my only problem).

I have created a second client and a site for that client. I have also created an ftp user and a shell user for that site.

Neither shell or ftp user can login. I'm getting a "Access denied" on shell user and "Login failed" on ftp user.

I have deleted all the users and the site and recreated from scratch multiple times but the problem persists.

What should i check?

Thanks in advance.

 

Any errors in your logs?

 

What log should i check?

I have these on /var/log/messages:

Jobqueue is empty and the user does not exist in /etc/passwd.

It seems that ISPConfig does not create the user. Regarding the FTP user it seems that it is created but with wrong password.

Thanks.

 

Is there a specific log that has some info at the time of user creation?

I mean if i create the user, is there a log where the executed commands are logged, so i can check there.

I'm asking because this is a major problem and it doesn't has an obvious solution.

I have also created a third client with one site and tried to create a shell user for that client. The result is the same. I can see the insert shell_user job in the jobqueue. The job disappears after a while but no user is created although is listed in the ispconfig's shell users list. In /etc/passwd the user does not exists.

Thanks.

 

I know very well the difference between shell and ftp users.

I'm having problem with both of them on all newly created clients (except the first one that was created after initial installation of the ispconfig).

I will enable debug on pure-ftpd, but what about with the shell's users problem. You understand that this problem makes ispconfig useless.

I will enable debug on ispconfig and report but if something useful appears.

It is a major problem and i think it happened after the update to 3.0.1.6. My system is useless as it is now so that's why i'm eager to find a solution.

Regarding ftp users i have recreated the user (and several others) multiple times but always i'm getting a wrong password error.

 

I haven't mention the update because i'm not sure if the problem occured after the latest update. I had until now only one client, one ftp user and one shell user and i have performed all the updates since the initial install of ispconfig 3.0 (the client and the users were created just after the initial install).

grep sshusers /etc/group returns nothing.

Regarding the ftp users, when i edit the problematic new user and change his password, i can see with phpmyadmin that his password is changing in the ispconfig's database (although is encrypted but i can see characters changing). Pure-ftpd continues to report that the password is wrong. It seems like pure-ftpd doesn't "look" in the database.

Thanks.

 

same problem.

Hello.
I also have the same problem regarding creating new ftp users since update to 3.0.1.6 . Didn't notice it for a while because no new ftp users were added but now when i whant to add a new ftp account, it creates it, i can see with phpmyadmin that the account and the password it is created but ftp server sais Login Authentification Failed. Also old ftp account works.

I don't have any Shell-Users created to see if that is working but i will test that later on today.

Like Baskin i also don't get any results when running command: grep sshusers /etc/group

Regards
Jay

 

When i try to edit an existing shell user (from the new that do not work, not the first working one) i'm getting this on the ispconfig.log:

Code:

OLEEEEE!!!

Problem solved as well as ftp users problem (at least for this client). I will test with another client and report back if necessary.

The disappearance of sshusers is a mystery to me. System has only the official updates and i run several identical opensuse 11.1 systems (not with ispconfig) without any problem (at least from system updates).
