Comment 6 for bug 869684

I have been unable to reproduce this both on a fresh installation of Oneiric and on an upgrade from Natty (using cloud images). In both cases I added a password to the "ubuntu" user, installed vsftpd from the archive and successfully FTPd into it using "ftp", connecting to both localhost and to the IP assigned to eth0.

Duane, thank you for your very comprehensive and useful bug report. Could you please confirm that /lib/security/pam_shells.so does not exist on your problem system, and let me know if /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/security/pam_shells.so exists instead?
