Hello,

today, I have spotted that I can't change password for one user. he can login via DirectAdmin panel, but have no access to FTP...

when I try to change this user the password, I see (in log/directadmin/error.log):
2015:05:25-16:34:09: Error changing ftp password for XXX: That user doesn't exist<br>
2015:05:25-16:39:58: Error changing ftp password for XXX: That user doesn't exist<br>

I tried suspending, en unsuspending the account, and I get this error messages:

2015:05:25-16:45:32: User XXX either didn't have an ftp account, or it was already disabled
2015:05:25-16:45:41: User XXX either didn't have an ftp account, or it was already activated


But user XXX is present in the system, I see him in /etc/shadow
User can login to Directadmin, but no access to FTP, like the FTP database would be out of sync..

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks
 
Hello,

thank you for your reply!
It indeed - helped.

I am using PureFTPD, but I have used the script below, and then just tried reinstaling pureftpd, and it just started to work!: ))

Thank !
