A valid shell is defined by being in /etc/shells:
Code:
ant:/home/vbe/bin $ more /etc/shells
/usr/bin/false
/usr/lbin/uucp/uucico
/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/rksh
/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/ssh
/usr/bin/rsh
/sbin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/ksh
/usr/dt/bin/dtksh
/usr/bin/csh

So thats not the reason...
Have you looked at your files ftpaccess and ftpgroups (for me in /etc/ftpd with your soft no idea...)
(Just thoughts..)

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no    The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send
				     LIST  instead.  In  order	to  make  the  Solaris	ftp  client  send  LIST when the ls command is issued, set
				     FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
