No; if it were an /etc/hosts.deny or /etc/hosts.allow issue, you wouldn't even get that far. However, ftp denies normal users the ability to log in if their username is listed in /etc/ftpusers, or if the user has a non-standard shell. (A shell is considered non-standard if it's not listed in /etc/shells). Could either of these be the case? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
