I have the following listed in /etc/shell

        /bin/sh
        /bin/csh
        /bin/tcsh
        /bin/bash
        /etc/ftponly (doesn't actually exist)

I've used /bin/sh, /bin/csh and /etc/ftponly and it still doesn't allow
users to ftp in.

The users /etc/passwd entries are:

  user1:*:1001:30:User's Name:/ftp/./users1:/bin/sh

The users /etc/master.passwd entries are:

  user1:<encrypted passwd>:1001:30::0:0:User's Name:/ftp/./users1:/bin/sh

group 30 = guest.  I've also tried using the /etc/ftponly as the shell and
it doesn't work.  Just returns an error message about not being found in the
log file.

Ciao,
Mark
