ftp server recomendation?

[Mike Garfias]

account sufficient      pam_unix.so
account sufficient      pam_pgsql.so
auth    sufficient      pam_unix.so nullok_secure 
auth    sufficient      pam_pgsql.so         

The pam_unix.so lines are there for a testing.  Once it works, they're coming
out.  Only virtual users will be connecting via FTP.

However, I can put whatever I want in that file, and nothing changes, as
proftpd NEVER makes a pam call.

Here is output of proftpd starting up:

# strace proftpd -nd10 2>&1 | grep -i pam
open("/lib/libpam.so.0", O_RDONLY)      = 3
write(2, " - dispatching directive \'AuthPA"..., 58 - dispatching directive
'AuthPAM' to module mod_auth_pam
write(2, " - dispatching directive \'AuthPA"..., 64 - dispatching directive
'AuthPAMConfig' to module mod_auth_pam
write(2, "localhost.localdomain - AuthPAM\n", 32localhost.localdomain -
AuthPAM
write(2, "localhost.localdomain - AuthPAMC"..., 38localhost.localdomain -
AuthPAMConfig
                       
When I try to connect, I get no further output.  If instead I grep for 'auth',
I get lots of mod_sql and mod_auth_unix calls, but never a pam call.
