user passwords

[TheWave]

I for the life of me cant get proftpd to work right. Iv read the manual more than once. Anon works fine but...
Im usin mandrake 8.2 all stuff is up to date.

I create a user called josh and gave him a password. Works fine with loging in on the machine.

I want josh to be able to log in using proftpd using his account to his home dir.

Ive tryed milions of different ways and still cant get it. I keep getting login errors when checking password. (error 530)

Any help would be great, thanks.

Did you compile proftpd from source?

I use Slackware, and it uses md5 passwords.

So when I compile ProFTPD, I use:

./configure --use-md5-passwords

or something like that. Do:

./configure --help |grep md5

and you'll see what you have to type in...
