Re: More on ftp/Tiger problem

["Tenon Support" <support@xxxxxxxxx>]

Proftpd checks what shell a user is assigned, and makes sure it is a 
valid shell in on the system (exists in the /etc/shells file). The 
problem is that Apple's OS X installer replaces that file with the 
default, so installing OS X after installing iTools will make it so 
that iTools ftp users can no longer login. The noshell executable 
simply exits so that if an ftp user tries to get in through the shell 
they will not be able to even though they have a valid shell set. An 
alternative to adding that shell may be to add the following line to 
your proftpd.conf file:

RequireValidShell off

Which would disable that check.
