Might be worth checking your ruleset anyway. # iptables -L Also, check /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure. Check the user your logging in as has access or that anonymous access is allowed. Check the FTP home directory exists and then check through your vsftpd configs for anything obviously out of place. [wmcdonald at willspc ~]$ rpm -qc vsftpd /etc/logrotate.d/vsftpd.log /etc/pam.d/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd.ftpusers /etc/vsftpd.user_list /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf [wmcdonald at willspc ~]$ The vsftpd.ftpusers and vsftpd.user_list (and vsftpd.chroot_list which isn't listed above) can be counterintuitive depending on what's configured in the main vsftpd.conf file. Sometimes it's a list of users to allow or chroot and othertime's its the opposite. Will.
