Mikkel:
What exactly is the error message?
PASS XXXX 530 Login authentication failed Disconnecting from site 10.0.0.50 > Is the login failing, or are you
being blocked before it gets that far?
It can't be a case of blockage - ftpd responds, and asks me to log in. On the client, I use gftp.
You may want to check that xinetd is running and that pure-ftp is enabled. Just because there is a file in /etc/xinet.d for it does not mean it is enabled. disable = yes
I'm sure that they're running (used the 'service ... ' commands). And, I've been thru the config files.
