Error when create ftp user via pure-pw useradd

Raw

ftp_auth_error.md

I've just had a similar problem. I've added user using pure-pw useradd and get 530 Login authentication failed.

The solution was a symlink added to /etc/pure-ftpd/auth directory pointing to /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PureDB (there is a path to file that keeps ftp users) that shows in alphabetical order before other files in auth, e.g.

cd cd /etc/pure-ftpd/auth/ ln -s ../conf/PureDB 50PureDB then ls returns:

50PureDB -> ../conf/PureDB 65unix -> ../conf/UnixAuthentication 70pam -> ../conf/PAMAuthentication
