Description Tom P. 2003-01-11 12:52:51 UTC

Please update sample configurations files included with ebuild to include the option
RequireValidShell off

The default is to require a vaild shell for the user proftpd runs under.  The
.sample configuration file provided runs proftpd under the user proftpd.  The
ebuild creates the user proftpd with the shell /bin/false. 

The .dist sample configuration file runs proftpd under nobody which also has
this same problem

Proftpd fails with the misleading error login failed in this configuration.
