Well, I figured you did all that, but I had to ask, right? <grin>

Does SLES8 have a /etc/pam.d/ftp file? If so, what is in it? I have:

#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny file=/etc/ftpusers
onerr=succeed
auth required pam_unix.so
auth required pam_shells.so
account required pam_unix.so
password required pam_unix.so
session required pam_unix.so

Also, from looking at SLES7, "ftp" is not started as a daemon, but by
"inetd" as needed. Doing a "info in.ftpd", it appears that SLES8 may be
starting "ftp" with the -A option or with a line in the above PAM file like:

auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/etc/ftpchroot
onerr=fail

If you see the above like, comment it out by putting a # as the first
character of the line.

Also look in /etc/inetd.conf for a line similar to:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd

Make sure that the -A is not on that line!

Wish I had SLES8 to look at these things myself.
