>ftp checks the file /etc/shells

Yup, the original poster knows that, and even put "bash" into the
"/etc/shells" file, as he indicated in his posting; he also indicated
that it didn't help.  Perhaps he didn't put the full path in, or didn't
put in a path that matched what's in the password file entry for folks
using "bash"?  Or perhaps there's a bug in the UNIX he's using....
