Yes, this is probably because you do not have the path for tcsh ( usually
/usr/local/bin/tcsh) in the /etc/shells file. FTP checks this file
for "legal" shells when somebody FTP's in. Just append the path to
the end of /etc/shells and all should be fine. If not, then it may be
something a wee bit more complicated. :-)
