[SOLVED]Login as local user with vsftpd
hi all:
i set up vsftpd as per the wiki. i liked the idea of a virtual user login that i could give to some friends for limited access to a folder on my system, but still wanted to be able to login as myself to see my home directory from work.
here is my vsftpd.conf:
#
# simple ftp config /etc/vsftpd.conf
#
background=YES
listen=YES
listen_port=21
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
write_enable=NO
guest_enable=YES
guest_username=virtual
pasv_min_port=50000
pasv_max_port=50100
xferlog_enable=YESafter following the wiki, the virtual user logs in great, i can get in and see files etc from inside and outside my local network with the virtual user/pass i created with PAM.
i can't login as myself though; it returns error 530 from a browser, the terminal, ftp trans program, inside and outside my LAN. do i have a typo in my config? i have to assume there is no firewall / hosts.allow [vsftpd:ALL is there] issues here b/c the virtual user login works great; why can't i log in as myself? i'm sure it's something dumb, but i can't seem to figure it out.
thanks in advance.
[edited to solved, i'm dumb, man pages 101]

Re: [SOLVED]Login as local user with vsftpd
I guess this has to do with the guest_enable option:
guest_enable
If enabled, all non-anonymous logins are classed as "guest"
logins. A guest login is remapped to the user specified in the
guest_username setting.
From the vsftpd.conf man page.
