[plug] ftp login problem

[Jon Miller]

My shell is listed in the /etc/shell and /etc/passwd.  On this subject can one edit the /etc/passwd or does this have to done another method?

Thanks

> Sorry, I did have it with the : but it still does not let me login.  Basically it's not accepting my password.  Since I have an account on the server this should be picking this up correct?

Is your login shell, as listed in /etc/passwd, in /etc/shells? Maybe 
your ftpd has a separate ftpusers list to allow/deny users, or an 
ftpshells list?
