[9fans] ftping to a noworld account

[Heiko Dudzus]

I need access via ftp from unix without the netkey dialogue for an
automated login.  Following ipserv(8) I need a user in noworld group.

So I...

1) installed a user named 'ftpuser' with home directory
2) added ftpuser to noworld
3) auth/changeuser ftpuser; to give him a password

When I try to log in via ftp, the server accepts the user, asks for
the password and says "530 Not logged in"

Affected log files are /sys/log/ftp and /sys/log/auth. ftp saying:

| lagavulin Jan  6 14:14:02 192.168.xx.xx.5076 user ftpuser 192.168.xx.xx

auth is saying:

| lagavulin Jan  6 14:14:06 cr-ok ftpuser@bootes(192.168.xx.xx)

Nothing bad, right? Other log files didn't get changed.

Why can't ftpuser log in?  His $home is chmodded 775, owned by
himself, so he should be able to get access, even with the permissions
AND'ed with 0771 (fossil(4))

TIA, Heiko (who double-checked to use the right password)

I haved missed out a 4th necessary step:

4) arrange a namespace file /lib/namespace.noworld

Well documented.  This time I didn't f%$§ the reading manual as well
as I should.  ;-/
