That's not the problem. It's only an event log which has no
further influence. Actually I should remove that from the
cygwin port.

I assume that your passwd file has DOS line endings while
/etc or one of it's upper directories is binary mounted.
Check this first, please.

Another try: Is your login shell in /etc/shells? This could
explain the ftpd behaviour.

If that doesn't help, please check the event log again if
you can find another interesting entry and send it to the list,
please.
