I just installed updated to 12.3. and I tried to set my FTP server using YAST (vsftp) I created my user, did everything the same way I have been doing since opensuse 11. checked passwords, firewalls, etc., but when I try to connect using Filezilla i get this
Command: USER calas
Response: 331 Please specify the password.
Command: PASS *******
Response: 530 Login incorrect.
Error: Critical error
Error: Could not connect to server
I turned off firewalls, created other users, checked existing users, checked router, did everything that came to my mind and still same result.
The problem is somewhere in pam authorization. I had to switch to pure-ftp and comment out the pam authorization and uncomment unix authorization in the pure-ftp config and it works
This is getting annoying. Pure-ftpd for some reason does not even work. it does not start. there are no log files in /var/logs , so I can’t see what the problem is. suggestions anyone?
Same here.
I have 3 suse boxes (two with suse 12.2, one with suse 12.3), all with the same problem. I don’t exactly understand why, but it seems to be something kernel >= 3.7 related: after downgrading one suse 12.2 machine to kernel 3.6 all works fine. Something about logging has changed in kernel >=3.7:
vsftpd[1]: PAM audit_log_acct_message() failed: Operation not permitted
As a temporary solution i have switched to proftp. After manually configuring the LDAP backend it works, but i don’t want to separate the configurations (i like yast).
I hoped this bug would be fixed in suse 12.3, but it didn’t

The obvious thing is to look at the logs. And they are not going to
syslog, so find out where they are:

I think that you can enable/disable parts of the logs. Have a look at
that section, maybe something in there helps.
