VSFTPD issues

["Tom Haddon" <thaddon@equilar.com>]

Hi Folks,

I have a strange issue with vsftpd. The check_shell option doesn't seem to be working for me. Here's my config:

listen=YES
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
userlist_enable=YES
userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd/userlist
userlist_deny=NO
check_shell=NO
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
nopriv_user=ftp
ftpd_banner=Welcome to Tom's FTP service.
chroot_local_user=YES

I had the same config working fine on Mandrake 9.1 but am migrating to debian. Basically, a user in the /etc/vsftpd/userlist file can only login if their shell is in /etc/shells. And I specifically don't want that. Can anyone help?

Thanks, Tom
