[RndTbl] vsftp not connecting

[Gilles Detillieux]

Also check your userlist_* options in vsftpd.conf.  If userlist_enable 
is YES, then make sure the login name you're using isn't in the 
user_list file (or is if userlist_deny=NO).  You may want to check the 
PAM configuration as well, as it can add another layer, and another 
allow/deny list as it does on RHEL systems.

You could also enable the dual_log_enable and syslog_enable options, as 
this may give you a bit more feedback in your logs to help get to the 
bottom of this.

If all else fails, install/enable sshd and switch from FTP to SFTP.  ;-)
