Ok - check if the /etc/passwd, /etc/group files a world readable.

Do you have ftp user created in your Windows database or you mapped
the ftp user in /etc/passwd to the Windows Guest user ? I've
determined that creating a user without a password to be used by
ftpd doesnt work on WinXP (maybe others too but I dont have access to test).
Or much better would be to say - a user without a pass cannot log in
into ftpd on WinXP Home. I can reproduce this behaviours each time...

This was my first impression - later I've determined what I've said
above.

Well, I did ... I learned many things :) i.e. the little secret about
/etc/passwd and /etc/group for exmaple :) (Yes, this is not in the
FAQ!)
