 Adding the 'ftp' class to /etc/login.conf will not automatically
 make the 'ftp' user actually use this class's settings.  Is the 'ftp'
 user actually a member of the 'ftp' login class?  You can tell by
 issuing the 'chfn ftp' command as root and checking the 'Class'
 field; if it does not say 'ftp', then the ftp user will not honor
 your login.conf settings for the 'ftp' class.
 
 G'luck,
 Peter
