Hi Melon,

I ran into this same thing last week while attempting to utilize
PAM with the installation of ProFTPD.  After compiling the pam
libraries with debugging enabled, I was able to determine that the
error message "No modules loaded for `ftp' service" was actually
being generated after the "auth" and "account" pam sections had
been successfully processed.

The ProFTPD source also attempts to utilize pam_open_session
which is not documented or included in the sample entries for the
pam.conf.  You can utilize the "pam_permit" module for the session
entry which will always return PAM_SUCCESS for the session.

So, add a third line (under the ftp auth/account entries) to your
pam.conf with:

	ftp		session		required	pam_permit.so

And the error message will stop, and pam will work.  Of course if
you don't need/want pam, you can also just disable the use of pam
in the proftpd.conf file with "AuthPAM Off".

Keith
