proFTPd configuration

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone could post here some info, how to configure proftpd. WebAdmin gave me that;

Shell /bin/false for FTP users is not included in /etc/shells, which may prevent FTP access.

What should i do? Thanx for all your answers!

CU, Nejc

 

Put /bin/false into the file /etc/shells.

 

amm, stupid question, but which command should i use?

 

Code:

echo /bin/false >> /etc/shells

You can also use an editor like vi. Read here to find out how to use it: http://www.howtoforge.com/faq/12_15_en.html

 

hmm, i did:
[root@localhost ~]# echo /bin/false >> /etc/shells
[root@localhost ~]#

, but in webmin still:

Shell /bin/false for FTP users is not included in /etc/shells, which may prevent FTP access.

 

Please post your /etc/shells here.
