Hello dear experts,

I have a problem here and I am sure the solution is obvious... but I can not
find it.

On a small net of SUNs, when we try to ftp to one of them we get the 
"user access denied" message:

> ftp ptsun01
Connected to ptsun01.
220 ptsun01 FTP server (SunOS 4.1) ready.
Name (ptsun01:khoda): khoda
530 User khoda access denied.
Login failed.
ftp>

I don't remenber I did anything special. I just set the maxuser on the server to 10
instead of 4. And I am even not sure that caused this.
do you have any idea of the origine of the problem, and how to fixe it?
Thanks in advance for your replies, but don't forget to set the distribution
to world since I am posting from Switzerland.

Cheers,
Arash.
