FTP is setup to not allow root ftp access by default , so this wasn't a
good example.

Put the following in your /etc/syslog.conf as root to see some debugging
info for ftp accesses. (use TAB's not spaces)

*.*                                                     /dev/tty8

Then reboot or restart the logging daemons and when you try out ftp'ing
hit CTRL+ALT+F8 to see logging messages from your ftp daemon. This way
you can get a much more detailed idea of what's going wrong.
