Does thsun1 have a file named /etc/ftpusers? if so, any users listed in it will not be able to ftp to it. weimer@ssd.kodak.com ( Gary Weimer )

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.
