yet another problem with vsftp and pam

[krilledrille]

Hi there

I'm a newbie, please don't be offended by 'not-so-smart' questions...

I was (like many others) following the installation instructions on
ftp://vsftpd.beasts.org/users/cevans/untar/vsftpd-1.2.0/EXAMPLE/VIRTUAL_USERS/README
in order to get virtual users to work. I use

RH 9
vsftpd 1.2.0
Berkeley db 4.1.25

Once I am through the procedure and try to ftp, I can't login with a
virtual user nor with a local user! I get in both cases a "530 Login
incorrect". Checking in the /var/log/messages I see the entry "Nov 11
18:11:19 linuxbox pam_userdb[19957]: user_lookup: could not open
database `/etc/vsftpd_login.db'"
Is it a compatibility problem? What versions should i use then?

What I would like to have is that local users plus virtual users can
login!

Does anyone know a way how to do it? Help is greatly appreciated!
