     Probably, ftp is denying login because your users all have shells that
   aren't listed in /etc/shells.  You probably all use the "shell of choice" and
   you've forgotten to add it to /etc/shells.  See the man page for ftpd, which
   documents the requirements which must be met for a user to be able to ftp to a
   host.

That was it. Thanks.
