Denis;

While vsFTP stands for "Very Secure" ftp... it is NOT sftp.  We are 
running vsftpd on several RH8 production servers and we can connect to 
it with a normal old "windows" ftp client which, lord and Bill knows, is 
NOT a secure client.

It's GOT to be something else.  Regarding name resolution... its 
resolving just fine, just the login is being denied.  As this install is 
on a spare/test system we even stopped virtually ALL services other than 
xinetd and removed all tcpwrappers type files... everything that could 
or would stand in the way.  Made NO difference what so ever.

Thought you would be interested.
