    VSFTP + pam htpasswd + virtual users = "500 OOPS: cannot locate user entry:"

    I followed the directions here:
    http://howto.gumph.org/content/setup...ies-in-vsftpd/

    but now I get
    Code:
    500 OOPS: cannot locate user entry:music
    Login failed.
    I see no errors in my auth.log, and in my vsftpd.log I see
    Tue Feb 1 13:01:13 2011 [pid 2] CONNECT: Client "<omitted_ip>"
    Tue Feb 1 13:01:20 2011 [pid 1] [<username>] OK LOGIN: Client "<omitted_ip>"

    so it looks like the user is able to log in, but I can't tell what the issue is beyond that.

    Anyone have an idea of whats causing this?

    After following the same guide I'm hitting this issue too. Nobody has any ideas where to look?

    Make sure, that in vsftp.conf file you have this line:

    Code:
    guest_enable=YES

    YES! Thank you. guest_enable it is. I swear it used to work though... weird.
