I installed successfully proftpd by 'emerge proftpd'.
I can connect ftp but I cann't login.
It is same standalone or inetd.
I does not edit any configration file.
what's wrong?

Maybe you should give more information (type of user you try to connect, error message, ...)

The first things I would check is if the user you try to connect with has a
shell, if not (and you don't wan't him to), make sure you set
RequireValidShell to false in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf.

Thanks for your reply.
I had tried to connect by the user which has a shell and anonymous.
Maybe I don't need RequireValidShell set.
As i was saying i does not edit any configration.
Error message is "530 Login incorrect. Login failed."

Error message appear immediately.
Maybe this problem associated with PAM.
I can not find profptd configration file at /etc/pam.d/ .
Shoe me a configration file at /etc/pam.d/, if you have it.

A little late, but... You need a ftp config in /etc/pam.d
