Hi
It's been a while since I've used tcpd but if things are the same
as they were, wrappers can only be used to allow/deny access
to hosts/networks...you would use the actual service (ftpd)
to allow/deny access to a user. So to get the desired result
you'll have to set both wrappers and ftp up to allow access
to your users.
Regards.
