no.. list is 

# list of users disallowed any ftp access.
# read by ftpd(8).
root 
toor
daemon
operator
bin
games
news
man
uucp
xten
nobody


 Is there anything in /etc/login.access that
> would deny access to any users?  


no that whole file is commented out.


What is ftpd's line in /etc/inetd.conf?

ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/libexec/ftpd       ftpd -l




This has been puzzling me for months now.. very odd.

Appreciate the help
