FTP Access
I have the standard anonymous ftp server running on my Solaris 10 machine. I simply edited /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess to allow anonymous access. How can I log into the server with the username and pass of a user set up on Solaris 10? I try to login and it says that I don't have permission. I also tried a bogus username/pass and it said that the permission failed. Therefore it is authenticating, but now allowing me in anyway. Is there a file somewhere or a user flag that needs to be set in order to do this?

I don't have a /etc/shells directory. Perhaps because im on an x86? I also don't know how to check to see what shell is assigned.
I can however create a new user.
I simply did a useradd -d /ftp/incoming -m -s /bin/ksh -c "Test Account" test
I'm not sure what the -m -s /bin/ksh does tho. That was just the line I was told to use.
If you can tell me how to create a new user with a proper shell that will work I will gladly do so.

Hi, did you create a home directory for that user?
as far as I know you need it, on FTP when using the username/password for that user it goes to the home directory. (try to login once under that name first so it creates a profile)
If you issue the command
#SMC
on a terminal window you will have the graphical way to create accounts and choose your shell.
