I have seen this before (but not on Red Hat Linux 9.0). I believe you are
using a Kerborized FTP.
Check your xinetd configs, and make sure you are using the regular FTP (if
that is what you want).
Try running ftp with the '-d' flag to see what it's sending
too for grins, and check your logs to see if there are any error
messages. Also, be sure that the user's shell is in /etc/shells,
or it can't ftp.

Shot in the dark: you've enabled the gssftp server included in the
krb5-workstation package, which by default is configured to only allow
access to users who can authenticate using gssapi.
If this is the case, run "ntsysv" as root, deselect "gssftp", select
"wu-ftpd", and run "/sbin/service xinetd reload" to fix it.
