I've managed to setup a FTP daemon on the two Linux boxes I've connected via a
private network. However I'm having this problem accessing the other Linux box
via FTP. The problem is as follows:

ftp fairlane
Connected to fairlane
220 fairlane.fords.com.au FTP Server ..............
Name (fairlane:root): ftp
530 User ftp access denied
Login failed

I only have two Linux machines connected to each other and I can't ftp both
ways. Using either machine to access the other via ftp gets the above error
message. I have setup a ftp account. I've also tried root and my personal
account both getting the above message. I don't have a \etc\ftpusers file so
I assume that no user accounts are denied at all. Also I've checked
hosts.allow and that is set as ALL : ALL  and nothing is in hosts.deny so
what could be the problem? It seems strange that it didn't even ask me for
the password before giving me the error message. I've installed wu-ftppackage
on both machines as well. I was able to telnet to one other no problems and
NFS works as well. So can anyone tell me what's going on? Thanks.

Timbo.
