check your /etc/ftpusers (man ftpusers to get all the gory details) below is
a snippit
NAME
ftpusers - list of users that may not log in via the FTP daemon
DESCRIPTION
The text file ftpusers contains a list of users that may not log
in
using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon. This file is
used
not merely for system administration purposes but for improving
secu-
rity within a TCP/IP networked environment. It will typically contain
a
list of the users that either have no business using ftp or have
too
many privileges to be allowed to log in through the FTP server
daemon.
Such users usually include root, daemon, bin, uucp, and news. If
your
FTP server daemon doesnât use ftpusers then it is suggested that
you
read its documentation to find out how to block access for
certain
users. Washington University FTP server Daemon (wuftpd) and
Profes-
sional FTP Daemon (proftpd) are known to make use of ftpusers.

if that doesn't help let me know and I'll do some more digging around

That's weird ... or is it you're ftp'ing from the server to itself?
When you and they do an ftp, do you all get the ftp login prompt? If the
behaviour is different for them and you, then it's presumably a firewall
thing - their ftp request isn't even getting as far as the server.
Once you've got as far as the ftp login, what happens there? Can they
log in as root but not as themselves? You've now got a permissions
problem.
Oh - and your comment about the box being rebooted says immediately that
this is a "soft" problem. Have you got any records as to what you did
when you configured ftp? Because what seems obviously to have happened
is that you made changes to the running configuration, but you didn't
then push them back to the config files. So when the system all the
changes got lost. You need to look at what permission changes you made,
especially ones that affected the running ftp daemon. Because obviously
you needed to make the changes, but that's as far as they got...
If this doesn't help, come back with a LOT more detail about how it
works for root, but not for ordinary users, and somebody should have the
experience to chip in and identify the problem. If you can, posting a
successful and an unsuccessful session trace would be almost perfect...
