Re: [cobalt-developers] Admin get access denied in ftp

[Brian Foy Jr <cio@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your having the same problem I had, at least it sounds that way.

One day, all of the sudden ADMIN can no longer FTP to ANY site :)

If this is your problem your looking at a problem with ADMIN only being able
to belong to, 31 (I think 31) groups. When you crete virtual site # 32... boom!

all of the sudden ADMIN can't get into anything!

I fixed it by editing /etc/group and taking ADMIN off of all groups I don't
need it on and leaving it on 31 groups I do need it on.

I even had to take the extra step of make multi group files so that I can have
ADMIN on various groups at a moments
notice....I was getting errors with my siteadmins logging in as well....

Read back a few weeks...we went over this not to long ago...also knowledge base
at www.cobaltnet.com has something about this in there as well. Do a search for
error 550 (the FTP error I assume your getting).

Hope this helps...
