Hi!
I tried this Tutorial for setting up a ftp-server and everything seems to work fine, but i have a problem, which is drivin' me crazy! 
I created a group and a user in this way:
| Code: |
groupadd ftpgroup
useradd -g ftpgroup -d /home/ftp -p password ftpuser |
But i'm not able to connect to my server via this account (ftpuser with password "password").
I always get this message..
| Code: | 331 Please specify the password.
PASS xxxx
530 Login incorrect.
Disconnecting from site 127.0.0.1 |
Anybody an idea to solve my problem? |

I'm having this problem, too...
I'm using SuSE (sorry, no Gentoo right now, but I do love the distro) with vsftpd, and I'm having the SAME issue. I have 2 users that just can't log in via ftp
Both users have their home directories set to the same directory, which is /srv/ftp/chinese
Both users are chrooted so that they can't leave that directory. The directory belongs to the group that those users are a member of, and the output of an "ls -la" is as follows:
| Code: | | drwxr-x--- 2 theo groupname 80 Aug 13 17:40 chinese |
Both users are members also of the groups "users", "ftp", and "ftp-users"...
The problem is the same as yours, though...Every time I try to ftp to the site, I get the error:
| Code: | 530 Login incorrect.
Login failed. |
This is driving me absolutely NUTS! Has anybody else had this problem and figured out how to get this working?! I've looked at other threads, but none of it really helped me at all.
HELP!
