Ok, I'm screwing up something simple but can't figure out what.

My FTP server is running on a Linux 9.0 box.

I can connect to it, but it won't let me login. Always says "Login
Incorrect". SSH, etc works fine, just not FTP.

I know the ftp server pulls a list of current users, so I created
a user "ftpadmin".

useradd -gusers -pxxxxx -d/home/ftpadmin -m ftpadmin

I can su to the user via SSH, but I can't FTP in as that user.

Anyone know what the hell I'm doing wrong? Is there anything
else I need to edit? I changed my vsftpd.conf to not allow
anonymous connections, but that's about all I did as far as
changing conf settings (and of course I restarted the FTP
server).

First person to solve this for me gets $50 paypal. just tell
me what to do.

thanks!
