I am receiving in my log watch the following error repeatedly:

**Unmatched Entries**
 pam_listfile(proftpd:auth): Couldn't open /etc/ftpusers
 pam_env(proftpd:setcred): Unable to open config file: /etc/security/pam_env.conf: No such file or directory
 pam_listfile(proftpd:auth): Couldn't open /etc/ftpusers
 pam_env(proftpd:setcred): Unable to open config file: /etc/security/pam_env.conf: No such file or directory

1) I noticed /etc/ftpusers not exists on the server
2) Here is /var/log/secure contents:

Dec  6 10:34:38 ServerName proftpd: pam_listfile(proftpd:auth): Couldn't open /etc/ftpusers
Dec  6 10:34:38 ServerName proftpd[7862]: 159.253.140.155 (94.195.237.136[94.195.237.136]) - USER userName: Login successful.

Dec  6 12:38:37 ServerName usermng[11045]: pam_unix(passwd:chauthtok): password changed for userName

3) Here is pam_env.conf that displays No such file or directory

# ls /etc/security/pam_env.conf -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2980 Aug 18 09:26 /etc/security/pam_env.conf

Please advise. Thanks in anticipation

Try to do following:

Make a backup of /etc/pam.d/proftpd:

# cp -p /etc/pam.d/proftpd /root/proftpd

Replace content of /etc/pam.d/proftpd with:

#%PAM-1.0M-1.0
auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny file=/etc/ftpusers onerr=succeed
auth required pam_shells.so
auth include system-auth
account include system-auth
#session include system-auth
session required pam_loginuid.so

Restart ftp service:

# service xinetd restart
Stopping xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]
Starting xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]
