Afraid not. Nothing helpful in messages (records an anonymous login and the
subsequent closing of the ftp session). /var/log/secure records a connect from
localhost. xferlog records downloads, but gives no record of refusal of uploads.

I posted my ftpaccess file at the beginning of this thread. It is as installed
by the RH6.0 install, and with a couple of changes that I tried indicated by
comments.

I've tried this in three machines now, all the same result. Two are fresh
installs of RH6.0, and one is an upgrade from RH5.2 on which anon ftp upload
was working previously. Either I'm doing something very silly or there is a bug
in RH60 somewhere? Has anyone got anon ftp uploading working on RH6.0?

RH6.0 is using shadow passwords, which I wasn't using on 5.2 - is that anything
to do with it? But authentication seems alright (I'm allowed an anonymous
connect and can download files) and permissions seem alright (user ftp can
write files to the incoming directory).

I'll go and play with strace now unless someone has a better idea...
