Can not log in as a user in vsftpd

[wstran]

Greetings,

I set up vsftpd (version 2.0.5-10.el5) on my Linux RHEL5 box but when I tried to log in as a user with a correct password, I got the error:

530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.

Please help me out, thanks!

Make sue you have this in your config file

local_enable=YES

Thanks IRudebwoy. I checked and certainly have local_enable=YES in my vsftpd.conf. The problem happens even when I run "ftp localhost". I logged into FTP as a Linux user and somehow the FTP could not authenticate the username and password.
