I want to run muddleftpd as a normal user, but I want to authenticate
against the system passwords.

I'm able to get muddleftpd to run, but my username and password are
always rejected.

I start the program this way:

muddleftpd -c xp.muddle.conf

And here is xp.muddle.conf. Please help me get muddleftpd working correctly:

#----------------------------------------------------------
# This is the main server configuration

[section] main

# allow connections from port 21
ftpport 2121

# set maximum users to 200
maxusers 4

# log everything execpt debugging logs
logstrength 63

# set logfile
logfile /home/myuser/tmp/muddleftpd.log

# set default timeout to 300 seconds
timeout 300

# set the file displayed on login
logindump /etc/issue.ftp

# allow anyhost to connect
ipacl A:*

# set admin email address
email user@(protected)

# set groups to run through. one group is to catch invalid usernames
# like root and uucp. The next catches anonymous users, the last one
# for normal users
group badusers
# group anonymous
group localusers

# set scratchfile for inetd operation
# scratchfile /var/lock/muddleftpd.scratch
scratchfile /home/myuser/tmp/muddleftpd.scratch

# how long to wait after bad passwords
badauthwait 500

# set hostname to something reasonable
# hostname testserver
hostname Local-host

# set the greeting
greeting Welcome. Enter a username. Use 'anonymous' to access software
archive.

#----------------------------------------------------------
# This configures badusers. It catches any bad usernames that
# should not be logged into

[section] badusers

 # tell it to accept the usernames root, uucp and news
 nameacl A:root
 nameacl A:uucp
 nameacl A:news
 
 # accept these usernames from any host.
 ipacl A:*

 # tell the server these usernames are disabled
 authmethod disabled

 # set the maxuser count of this group to 0 so it isn't
 # added to the stats
 maxusers 0

#----------------------------------------------------------
# This configures the anonymous user.
# Note: if the following doesn't work, then your computer
#     needs the ftp user to be set.

[section] anonymous

 # tell the group that is can accept any host
 ipacl A:*

 # tell the server to accept anonymous or ftp for this group
 nameacl A:anonymous
 nameacl A:ftp

 # tell the server to use chroot to the anonymous rootdir
 chroot 1

 # tell the server to use the ftp user as the anonymous rootdir
 # and uid/gid
 authparams ftp

 # tell the server to use the anonymous authenticator, and
 # accept any password.
 authmethod anonymous

 # disallow any changes to file permissions or upload umask
 chmoding 0

 # print out this file when the user logs in. It is not relative
 # to anonymous's rootdir
 welcome /home/ftp/welcome.msg

 # display this file when a user changes into a new directory
 cddump .message

 # display this file when too many users are logged on
 busydump /etc/msgs/msg.toomany

 # set the umask files are uploaded with
 umask 077

 # give anonymous user read/list access everywhere and add/list access
 # to the incoming folder. The / on the end of the second directive
 # tells muddleftpd to apply ACL to a directory rather than a file.
 access /:RLC
 # uncomment this line to enable upload area. Can only add files.
 # access /incoming/:ALC
 
 # limit the size of this group so localusers can log in too
 maxusers 100

 # set the niceness of anonymous users to 10
 nice 10

#----------------------------------------------------------
# This configures the normal users.

[section] localusers

 # tell the group that it can accept any host that the last group
 # didn't get
 ipacl A:*

 # tell the server to accept any username for this group
 nameacl A:*

 # tell the server to use chroot to the user's rootdir
 chroot 1

 # set the users rootdir to their homedir, to lock them in there
 rootdir %h
 
 # set the users homedir to /, so he ends up in his own homedir
 homedir /

 # tell the server to use the unix authenticator, useful against
 # normal password files
 authmethod unix

 # give normal users full access to their userspace
 access /:ALL

 # allow server-server transfers with localusers
 fxpallow 1
