First check your logs (usually /var/log/proftpd/) for any errors that 
might seem relevant to the problem. You didn't mention this, so not sure 
if you looked?

Second, make sure your proftpd compile worked with PAM support -- run 
"/usr/bin/proftpd -l" and look for mod_auth_unix.c and mod_auth_file.c 
modules.

Third, make sure your login user has a valid shell, and it's listed in 
/etc/shells -- I think the default config file has the valid shell 
requirement set ON.

I'm not sure where you got your RPM(s), but I have known good working 
builds of the stable 1.2.10 tree (with MySQL and OpenSSL patches) that 
you can use if desired, just ping me offlist.
