A quick search on google reveals: http://www.ncftpd.com/ncftpd/doc/faq/trouble.html [excerpt] User has an illegal shell; Fix: Add the user's shell to /etc/shells, or change the user's shell. Then restart NcFTPd. Did you restart NcFTPd, or follow other troubleshooting procedures listed on their webpage?
