Hi All!

I'm using box-stock WBEL Respin 1 and love it.  The only problem I'm
having is with getting real users able to log into ftp.  Anonymous FTP
works as advertised.

Here's what I get:
[realuser@main1 ~]$ ftp ns1
Connected to ns1.mydomain.com.
220 ns1.mydomain.com FTP server (Version 5.60) ready.
334 Using authentication type GSSAPI; ADAT must follow
GSSAPI accepted as authentication type
GSSAPI error major: Miscellaneous failure
GSSAPI error minor: No credentials cache found
GSSAPI error: initializing context
GSSAPI authentication failed
334 Using authentication type KERBEROS_V4; ADAT must follow
KERBEROS_V4 accepted as authentication type
Kerberos V4 krb_mk_req failed: You have no tickets cached
Name (ns1:realuser): realuser
530 Must perform authentication before identifying USER.
Login failed. <------------------------------------------------
Remote system type is UNIX.

This is from the internal network, so firewall is not a problem.  I am
currently using the default /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf (having previously
made all the recommended modifications found in various searches on the
'net.)

If anyone has seen this problem and fixed it, I would appreciate any
insight.  I've done all the obvious stuff, but probably missed a huge,
clanking - yet, subtle! - error.

Thank/Brad
