Re: [Muddleftpd-users] Problems with configuration of muddleftp 1.3.12.1

[Risto Avila]

I'm runing 1.3.11 with out root privalegs and it works just fine..
I haven't tested the 1.3.12.1 version but it should too run fine.
What is your operating system? one problem could be that you've not set 
home and root directory for your user tom. If you would like to get 
ncurses gui for muddleftpd I've made one.. it should work with redhat and 
debian but I've tested it only with debian.

you can download it from there..
oh and could you send the contents of the log file?

I just looked over my config file and it seems that you're missing some 
lines from the users section.
it should be:

 [section] users

 ipacl A:*
 nameacl A:*
 chroot 1
 authmethod internal
 internal_passfile /tmp/ftp/ftpd.passwd
 rootdir /tmp
 homedir /
 access  /:ALL

at least I've got those three lines and it works just fine.

hope this helps.
