vsftpd problem logging on

[John Johnston]

I can't get vsftpd to accept my logon creditials.

When I try to connect to the localhost from the system terminal I get.


tp> open localhost
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
220 booklet.nwl.local FTP server (Version 5.60) ready.
334 Using authentication type GSSAPI; ADAT must follow
GSSAPI accepted as authentication type

When I try to connect from a remote host I can logon as a guest, but not 
as a user of the system


ftp> open 172.17.65.249
