You probably used ftpshut. This program will create a "shutmsg"
file in the /etc/ftpd directory. If this file is present no users
can login. To solve the problem just remove the /etc/ftpd/shutmsg
file. The filename can be different if you modified your ftpd
configuration, just look for the "shutdown" keyword in the
/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file.


Thanks,

Peter
