Re: ftp login failing after upgrade to 8.1
I just upgraded to FreeBSD 8.1 and my regular user name seems to be disallowed for ftp. I checked and my name or group does not seem to show up in ftpusers. Any suggestions as to what might have happened?

Any suggestions as to what might have happened? /etc/ftpusers is actually the list of accounts that should be *denied* access via FTP. You don't want your UID in there if you want to use FTP. Make sure the login shell for your account is mentioned in /etc/shells. Failing that, curse FTP as an archaic and inherently insecure protocol completely unsuitable for today's internet, and switch to using sftp(8) instead -- which has the look and feel of FTP, but which runs tunnelled over SSH.

Ok, I have it working now. The man page for ftpd should make that a little clearer than it does. There is another issue after logging in. The login works just fine, but when it tries to establish a connection for transfer or list the contents of a directory, I get a connection refused error.
