ftp vsftp login incorrect 530 can't login

Hey there,

I just wanted to share a problem I had with my ftpdaemon with you and which I didn't find in this forum.

My ftp server always throw an error, trying to log in with new created ftp accounts. I'm not sure since when this error occurred, a user of mine pointed me on that issue. But I would say the Vestacp version is not essential in that case.

My ftp client acted as if I just entered wrong user data.

CODE: SELECT ALL

Befehl:       USER ******
Antwort:     331 Please specify the password.
Befehl:       PASS *******
Antwort:     530 Login incorrect.

So I checked the vsftp logs in /var/log/vsftpd.log

CODE: SELECT ALL

Sun Mar 25 12:04:01 2018 [pid 2] CONNECT: Client "87.123.193.139"
Sun Mar 25 12:04:04 2018 [pid 1] [*********] FAIL LOGIN: Client "87.123.193.139"

Actually looked like wrong user data. But I entered them correctly.
I checked /etc/passwd and in the meantime I also googled a bit. So I found this article, which described exactly my problem.
https://github.com/serghey-rodin/vesta/issues/1437

New users got a different path to the "nologin" shell than before.
Initially it was /sbin/nologin. New users got the path to /usr/sbin/nologin
That path was not registered in /etc/shells.

CODE: SELECT ALL

nano /etc/shells

Looked like this:

CODE: SELECT ALL

# /etc/shells: valid login shells
/bin/sh
/bin/dash
/bin/bash
/bin/rbash
/sbin/nologin
/usr/bin/rssh
/usr/bin/tmux

and I easily added this line

CODE: SELECT ALL

/usr/sbin/nologin

saved the file and everything worked fine again afterwards.

Cheers and have a nice Sunday
!
