On my (debian) system, ftp access is denied by default to those users who do not have 
a 
shell in /etc/shells. You might want to look at that...
(I only mention it b/c it caused me some trouble when I created an account for ftp 
access, 
but did not want it to have shell access. Took me a while to figure out to put 
/bin/nologin in /etc/shells. heh).
