Why does ftp deny permission?

  Probably, ftp is denying login because your users all have shells that
aren't listed in /etc/shells.  You probably all use the "shell of choice" and
you've forgotten to add it to /etc/shells.  See the man page for ftpd, which
documents the requirements which must be met for a user to be able to ftp to a
host.
