I'm trying to get a vsftpd server set up on CentOS 5.3 x64. I'm not able to get any local user login's to work. Here is my vsftpd.conf:

local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
connect_from_port_20=YES
listen=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
xferlog_std_format=NO
log_ftp_protocol=YES
chroot_local_user=YES

Here is the output of vsftp.log:

Mon Sep 13 23:34:44 2010 [pid 19243] CONNECT: Client "10.0.1.138"
Mon Sep 13 23:34:44 2010 [pid 19243] FTP response: Client "10.0.1.138", "220 (vsFTPd 2.0.5)"
Mon Sep 13 23:34:44 2010 [pid 19243] FTP command: Client "10.0.1.138", "USER dwelch"
Mon Sep 13 23:34:44 2010 [pid 19243] [dwelch] FTP response: Client "10.0.1.138", "331 Please specify the password."
Mon Sep 13 23:34:44 2010 [pid 19243] [dwelch] FTP command: Client "10.0.1.138", "PASS <password>"
Mon Sep 13 23:34:44 2010 [pid 19242] [dwelch] FAIL LOGIN: Client "10.0.1.138"
Mon Sep 13 23:34:45 2010 [pid 19243] [dwelch] FTP response: Client "10.0.1.138", "530 Login incorrect."

And the output of the secure log:

Sep 13 17:40:50 intra vsftpd: pam_unix(vsftpd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ftp ruser=dwelch rhost=10.0.1.138  user=dwelch

It looks like pam is not authenticating the user. Here is my /etc/pam.d/vsftp file:

#%PAM-1.0
session    optional     pam_keyinit.so    force revoke
auth       required     pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny file=/etc/vsftpd/ftpusers onerr=succeed
auth       required     pam_shells.so
auth       include      system-auth
account    include      system-auth
session    include      system-auth
session    required     pam_loginuid.so

Can anyone see what I'm missing? Thanks.
