I had originally asked:
I am trying to FTP from my Digital UNIX machine to another machine on our
network. When I do FTP as root, I am able to do it fine. But when I FTP as
myself, it gives me login invalid at remote node. I know that it is my unix
machine definitely. I verified by trying to FTP to 3 different systems with
3 different operating systems (VMS, SUN and ULTRIX) and different accounts
--> Same thing each time I tried to use my UNIX account and not root.
This is what the error looks like when I tried to go to a local VMS machine:
Name (vmsmachine:unixuser): vmsuser
331 User name (vmsuser) ok. Password, please.
530 %SYSTEM-F-INVLOGIN, login information invalid at remote node
Login failed.
Remote system type is VMS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The answer was the permissions on the /dev/tty file. It was 600 and it should
have been 666. That is why root was able to ftp but no other user could.
