i have 2 users: moldham, and mmont. both have are in the same groups, have /bin/bash as their shell, have valid passwords (both can log in via ssh), are owners of their respective home dirs, have the same permissions on their home dirs, BUT mmont can login to the ftp server, and moldham can't. If i give the correct password for moldham, it returns this:
Code:
 Connected to localhost.
220 ProFTPD 1.2.5 Server (Naemon's ProFtpd Server) [tux]
Name (localhost:root): moldham
331 Password required for moldham.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection


and if i give it the WRONG password it's this???

Code:
 Connected to localhost.
220 ProFTPD 1.2.5 Server (Naemon's ProFtpd Server) [tux]
Name (localhost:root): sishro^H
331 Password required for sishr.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.

i guess i'll talk to myself to follow up for anyone who misconfigures their ftp site like i did. the root directory (for my /var/ftp/pub) did NOT have execute permissions for the groups @ which my ftp users were mapped to. (for my it was the ftp group). apparantly the user or groups MUST have execute permission to be able to cd into the directory. hope this helps someone.

I having the same problem here.
Even with real users I cant login.

I think this has some thing to do with shadow password.
You need to compile proftpd with shadow passwords enabled.
If I'm correct please tell me how to compile via emerge with the shadow passwords enabled.
