I just moved up from 6.2.1 to 6.3.2

in 6.2.1, i had telnet and ftp daemons working, so i could telnet/ftp to the qnx machine.

I went to /etc/ and created the same ftpusers file i had under 6.2.1: it read,

#list of users to be disallowed
#root
uucp

I then went to /etc/rc.d and created a rc.local file that read (as in my 6.2.1):

/usr/sbin/inetd
/usr/bin/portmap
/usr/sbin/nfsd
/usr/sbin/fs-nfs2

Now I rebooted. When I try to ftp , I get the ftp prompt, but typing in username: root and password: <..root password ..
> gives me : login failure.

100 percent: I am typing in "root" and "password" correctly.

I tried replacing the commented out #root line in /etc/ftpusers with a line that read:

root

and that did not make any difference.

Could someone please help ? What am I missing ?

best, Suresh
