I would very strongly advise against this. But if you insist, be aware
that you’re sending the password in the clear over the network. Do that
and then restart the daemon - the change won’t take effect without a
daemon restart.

But your subject line is confusing, because you did install successfully,
you just didn’t get it configured.

On 12.3, the configuration may be different than on 12.2, so you might
also look to see if there’s an /etc/vsftpd/ directory that has
configuration items in it.

All the more reason to start by learning good security practices, which
includes not opening root up to abuse by sending the password in the
clear.

Start by learning good security practices, rather than starting with poor
practices and then having to unlearn them.

I see that you later tried a different user ID - does that user exist in
the local system?

thanks agains jim, i already tried a different user ID rather than root:


ruths@bogon:/etc> ftp 127.0.0.1
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
220 (vsFTPd 3.0.2)
Name (127.0.0.1:root): ruths
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
ftp: Login failed.
ftp>

I thinks that is trails:
https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/64-bit/484289-op12-3-unable-login-vsftp.html and [Bug 809858] New: vsftpd fails to authenticate login. "PAM audit_log_acc](http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2013-03/msg02726.html)

above that is as same as I encounter a problem.

Yes, I saw that and asked for confirmation that that user exists - looks

After your attempted login, what do you see in /var/log/messages? (We
don’t need to see the entire file, just the few lines before the end
after the login attempt.

BTW, when posting computer output, please use code tags, “#” button in

Sounds like that’s the problem - you’ll have to wait for a fix to be
issued, it seems.
