FTP server login message

[Michael Ryan]

Hello List: 

Now that I got an FTP server up and running, I'm receiving the following message when I try to connect with the user I have created. 
Note: I have configured, at least I think I configured properly <grin>, by placing # signs on the appropriate lines in the vsftpd.conf file, 
my server for no anonymous login and stand alone mode. Maybe some one can explain the differences, pros and cons of either stand alone mode or not. I think stand alone is for low traffic. 
Anyway back to the main subject of this posting. 
Message is as follows: 
500 OOPS: str_getpwnam: ftpsecure 

Hope someone can help: 
Thanks: 
Michael
