pureftpd on OpenBSD 3.6

[Ron Bondy <openbsd_(_at_)_citadelsoftware_(_dot_)_ca>]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with pureftpd on OpenBSD 3.6.   I have posted to 
the pureftpd mailing list but unfortunately I have not received a 
response.  I'm hoping that perhaps someone here is familiar with 
pureftpd on OpenBSD 3.6.

My problem is that I can only connect to pureftpd when I log in as 
root.  When I attempt to use one of the other logins on the OpenBSD 
machine, I consistently get  "530 Authentication Failed. Sorry" after 
providing the password for the user account.

I installed pureftpd from the OpenBSD packages list for OpenBSD 3.6 for 
i386 machines.  I don't see a version number for pureftpd in the 
pureftpd banner when I run ftp.

I've read through the docs a number of times and don't see a specific 
switch to allow non root users.  I'm running pureftpd from root at the 
command line with the command:

/usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -A -B -H -l unix

I am able to ftp in as root from the OpenBSD machine using ftp localhost 
and also from a Windows XP machine using ftp ipaddress.  However, when I 
attempt to log in to a user account it fails with the 530 authentication 
error.

I imagine I'm doing something simple wrong here but I don't know what it 
is.  An authentication failure sounds like the wrong password but that's 
not the problem.
The pureftpd banner has [privsep] [TLS] in the banner.  My problem 
authentication seems to be before priviledge separation even occurs.  
And TLS is off by default and I assume it's present in the banner to 
indicate that it's compiled in.

I tried running the server with the --tls=0 option but I still cannot 
log in as a non root user.

I have not created an ftp user account on the OpenBSD box yet.

Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Ron
