I don't recommend changing any parts of ftpd.c.
If a user has problems logging in, the system log will explain why. The
only non-specific login failure message is when the username/password
cannot be authenticated (either when the name does not exist, or the
password is incorrect).
On Redhat systems, the daemon is usually built for PAM support. If you do
not have the PAM configuration for FTP, no user can be authenticated; only
anonymous users will be able to log in. Check this if the system log does
not indicate a specific problem (like not in any class, in denied-uid,
etc.)
