Hi, It needs a valid shell from /etc/shells to work. EG, If the user has a shell of /bin/noshell in /etc/passwd then for them to ftp to their home directory, /bin/noshell has to be in the /etc/shells file. HTH Chris. ---------------------- I'm trying to setup Proftp on my RH61 box but am having trouble with the config for some reason I keep getting the following error in /var/log/secure when I try to login as ftp Apr 4 17:09:34 mail proftpd[690]: mail.asap.net.au (asx[192.168.0.1]) - USER ftp (Login failed): Invalid shell. Normal User login works fine ?
