the solution :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

u should have /sbin/sh listed in the /etc/shells file on the machine to

which u want to ftp as root.

I was listing all other shells but ignoring the /sbin/sh to which the

root defaults to.

hi gurus,

just a few days ago there was a question on ftp and now i have a problem

there are two machines A and B. A is solaris 2.5 and B is solaris 2.7

i'm tring to ftp from B to A as root. A /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow has

an entry for root and that is not empty. there is no /etc/ftpusers file.

/etc/shells have an entry for the normal shells. now when i try to ftp

from B to A what i get is :

530 User root access denied.

ftp>

i don't think it matters but /etc/default/login COLSOL line is hashed

out.

pl help.
