Need help on setting up proftpd

Hi, all
I have some trouble get my proftpd work.
When i login as anonymous user, it returns '530 Login incorrect'
Then i checked log file, it said that it was due to 'Invalid shell' error

Sep 16 10:20:21 localhost proftpd[4759] localhost.localdomain (10.x.x.x[100.x.x.x]): FTP session opened.
Sep 16 10:20:22 localhost proftpd[4759] localhost.localdomain (10.x.x.x[100.x.x.x]): USER ftp (Login failed): Invalid shell: '/bin/false'
Sep 16 10:20:22 localhost proftpd[4759] localhost.localdomain (10.x.x.x[100.x.x.x]): FTP session closed.

How to solve this problem? Sorry for my poor english.

You could also add

RequireValidShell             off

into Anonymous section in configuration file.
