ftp - access denied

[Gerhard Holzer]

In article <1699 at brchh104.bnr.ca> you write:
+The anonymous facility works well, but now others users, who have accounts
+on our machine, cannot use ftp. A typical session goes somethings like
+this:
+
+nilas.eol.ists.ca % ftp eol.ists.ca
+Connected to eol.ists.ca.
+220 eol FTP server (SunOS 4.1) ready.
+Name (eol.ists.ca:collins): collins
+530 User collins access denied.

We had the same problem as far as I can remember.  FTP check the file
/etc/shells to see if the login shell is O.K. !!  So put the shells of
users running FTP to /etc/shells.  I heard there could also be troubles,
if you will use different paths for the same shell in /etc/passwd and
/etc/shells.
