ot, please help with proftpd

[Janitha Rukmal]

Isn't it something to do with the line mentioned below in your config?
>   RequireValidShell             off

I've not tried this anyway so can't guaranty that it'll work...
I just replied cause I felt you sound desperate in that message.

Hope it would help...
