FC5: Proftpd only authenticates locally

[rykoala]

I'm running ISPConfig 2.2.1 on FC5 as shown by the howto. The problem is that ProFTPD refuses to authenticate users remotely. If I login to the server and type "ftp localhost" then I can login just fine with the user "web10_ryan" and its associated password. But if I try to FTP in from a remote server using the same credentials, it gives "530 Login incorrect" errors.

/var/log/messages shows:

Apr 20 11:07:26 erwin proftpd[6513]: mungedhostname (127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]) - FTP session opened.
Apr 20 11:07:48 erwin proftpd[6526]: mungedhostname (12.34.56.78[12.34.56.78]) - FTP session opened.
Apr 20 11:07:48 erwin proftpd[6526]: mungedhostname (12.34.56.78[12.34.56.78])- PAM(web10_ryan): Authentication failure.

Any clues? Thanks for any help!

OK I found what was broken. I commented out the line

Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

in /etc/proftpd.conf and that seems to have taken care of it. Now, the question is, is that really needed to begin with? Seems like proftpd can do its job just fine without it, but I don't want to get off on the wrong foot with this server.

Any insight?

Proftpd works fine without the include. But now you wont be able to have more then one anonymous FTP on your server.
