Hi Patrick,

No, these users are not in that file.

> Also, what does /var/log/messages reveal when you try to login?

This shows nothing, but /var/log/secure does :

Feb 28 21:06:04 xine proftpd[11050] xine (192.168.0.2[192.168.0.2]): FTP 
session opened.
Feb 28 21:06:08 xine proftpd[11050] xine (192.168.0.2[192.168.0.2]): 
PAM(marcel): Authentication failure.
Feb 28 21:06:08 xine proftpd[11050] xine (192.168.0.2[192.168.0.2]): USER 
marcel (Login failed): Incorrect password.

I (marcel) log in with the password I have on this machine, so really wonder 
why the second line gives me an authentication failure.

Marcel
