ftp won't allow users who run bash as their login shells?

	Yup, the original poster knows that, and even put "bash" into the
	"/etc/shells" file, as he indicated in his posting; he also indicated
	that it didn't help.  Perhaps he didn't put the full path in, or didn't
	put in a path that matched what's in the password file entry for folks
	using "bash"?  Or perhaps there's a bug in the UNIX he's using.... 

Yup, apparently the ftpd on my system "hard-wires" the shells that it allows
access into its code and does not look in /etc/shells.  So the solution is
to either hack the code, get a new ftpd, or wait for a system upgrade and 
hope the problem goes away... :-)

Thanks to all who replied.
