PURE-FTPD in Linux "Login failed: 530 login authentication Failed"

FTPD is a good FTP software, but today's small set up problems caused PURE-FTPD to appear "Login failed: 530 login authentication Failed", the following we look at the solution to the problem.

   

Again encounter PURE-FTPD "Login failure: 530 login Authentication Failed" problem, this time the reason is that the virtual user UID is less than pure-ftpd.conf minuid value, now detailed description of the entire error-checking process.

In general, I use Yum to install PURE-FTPD, and directly use Puredb to verify the user's login, everything is for convenience and quick. This time also, after installation, add virtual users, bind to the directory/data/www, but this time give the virtual user specified user and group is Apache, its UID and GID is 48:

Apache:x:48:48:apache:/data/www:/sbin/nologin
Nginx:x:498:498:nginx User:/data/cache/nginx:/sbin/nologin

Log on using lftp, and prompt for error messages:

Lftp admin@192.168.1.168:~> ls

And the error message found in the/var/log/messages:

have been thinking, how will appear account disabled, oneself have not done the action of disabling accounts, only a line of view pure-ftpd.conf configuration content, when the view to minuid this row, suddenly wake up, please see:

# Minimum UID for a authenticated user to log in.
Minuid 500

Everything is clear, the PURE-FTPD configuration allows only a UID greater than or equal to 500 to log on to FTP, so the workaround is:
1. Set the minuid of the configuration file to 48, save the restart PURE-FTPD
2. Create a new FTP user, UID greater than 500, reassign the virtual user uid and GID
