Hey, this is what Proftpd-Docs say.
requirevalidshell is by default set to on. So proftpd will not allow logins from users whose shell is /bin/false, since this one is not listet in /etc/shells to be a valid shell. Syntax: RequireValidShell on|off Default: on Context: server config, <VirtualHost>, <Anonymous>, <Global> Module: mod_core Compatibility: 0.99.0 and later The RequireValidShell directive configures the server, virtual host or anonymous login to allow or deny logins which do not have a shell binary listed in /etc/shells. By default, proftpd disallows logins if the user's default shell is not listed in /etc/shells. If /etc/shells cannot be found, all default shells are assumed to be valid. For allowing who is allowed to access which host, I believe this can not be done as you would run proftpd normally. Maybe you go and have a look into the proftpd-mysql plugins around. greetz...

Another question related to this one. Are there any configuration file where we can configure the host access ( wich user is ____ to access to wich service ) ? ( sorry for my English ) -- yoros
