Hi all,

Am facing this issue from past few days.
I have newly installed RHEL 5.1 with gccftp enabled.

Am able to ftp using root or any other local user of RHEL machine from
my windows machine. But, if i use nis user it gives the below error

530 User bsfr access denied.
Login failed.
ftp>

I can login and telnet using this user.

Kindly help.

Sounds like your authentication setup for the services differ.
I can only assume that you authenticate your users via pam. So have a look
in the pam configuration for login and ftp and compare both. I'd guess that
the login version has an additional test for the nis users that lacks the
ftp version.
