Author more on vsftpd

I have installed vsftpd v2.0.1

I can get anonymous download to work but I seem unable to allow local users
to login.Error message is 530 Login Incorrect.

vsftpd.conf:

listen=YES
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
xferlog_std_format=YES
nopriv_user=nobody


User nobody exists with home /usr/sbin/nologin

User ftp exists with home /var/ftp and is a member of group ftp
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2005-02-07 20:20 ftp
(user ftp does not own /var/ftp)

The local user "north" has a home of /home/ftp and is a member of the group
ftp-users.
drwxrwxrwx 3 root ftp-users 1024 2005-02-07 21:21 ftp

There is an empty directory /usr/share/empty
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 1024 2005-02-05 16:59 empty

This setup allows anonymous download but the local user "north" cannot
login.

The local user "north" can login on linux ok.

/etc/hosts.allow contains:
vsftp: ALL (and I have also tried ALL :ALL)

/etc/hosts.deny is empty.

I have also tried it via inetd using listen=NO and changing hosts.allow to
ALL : ALL but that closes the connnection without asking for username, so I
went back to listen=YES.

I have restarted inetd and vsftpd each time a config change has been made.

So the big question is - what should I do to allow local user "north" to
login and download??? What should I then do to allow upload too?

Thanks

Stewart
