i used to work on linux systems and i am comfortable using bash rather than tcsh so i compiled bash and made it work as default
i changed the default shell from netinfo and the next thing i know is that particular user stop having access to ftp server
it said username access denied
after i changed it back to tcsh it worked again.
i was thinking maybe its some problem with my /etc/profile maybe
 
Did you install it via Fink or did you download it from the Apple website. I tried it both ways, and while the shell itself worked just fine when I used Fink, I didn't like that it installed itself in /sw and all in all in it didn't offer any insight with how to make the environment complete. I then installed the .sit package that is on Apples website. It installed it into /bin and it gives you the proper commands to make it the default shell, and other stuff... I would try it instead of Fink's install.
 
Make sure the shell (with path) is listed in /etc/shells. ftpd won't allow logins if the user's shell isn't listed there.
