I'm trying to setup Proftp on my RH61 box but am having trouble with the config
for some reason I keep getting the following error in /var/log/secure when I try
to login as ftp

Apr  4 17:09:34 mail proftpd[690]: mail.asap.net.au (asx[192.168.0.1]) - USER
ftp (Login failed): Invalid shell.

Normal User login works fine ?

Help appreciated, thanx
