Just looking this file over too, and I see under ' ftp:x:14.50:FTP User/var/ftp: that I have all that but it ends with :/sbin/nologin
Should that be changed? Why the 'nologin' ??
Seems strange..

Check if there are any clues in /var/log/messages. Also check the allow-uid and allow-gid settings in ftpaccess.

Hi folks,
I have installed wu-ftpd and anonymous ftp server on my redhat 7.3 system. When I try to ftp to the localhost, after entering my login and password, it gives me a message " login incorrect " . I am facing the same problem with anonymous ftp server. I tried to toggle with ftpaccess, n ftpusers files, but it dint work.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards
Sachin.
