- The ftp daemon will only allow you to log in with ftp (1) if your
- shell is sh, csh, empty, or listed in the file /etc/shells, and (2) if
- your login name is not listed in /etc/ftpusers. It sounds like you're
- trying to log in as root, which is listed by default in /etc/ftpusers
- (i.e., making it impossible for you to ftp files with that username).
- You might also want to check your shell, although that doesn't sound
- like the problem.
