ProFTD on Fedora Linux

uname -a
Linux .... 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 #1 Tue Mar 14 15:48:33 EST 2006 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux

I have installed ProFTPd on Fedora linux following the directions at:
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_4_p5


yum install proftpd
chkconfig --levels 235 proftpd on
/etc/init.d/proftpd start

Then created the file /etc/pam.d/ftp with the following content:

#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_unix.so nullok
account required pam_unix.so
session required pam_unix.so

then ran /etc/init.d/proftpd restart

Then from Windows XP command line I get this

P:\>ftp 10.3.2.176
Connected to 10.3.2.176.
220 FTP Server ready.
User (10.3.2.176:(none)): myname
331 Password required for myname.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
ftp>


It's not a case of incorrect password. It does this with all accounts
including root.

Is there some other file I need to edit to allow FTP in, or change
permissions somewhere?

Also I want the users to ftp directly into their home directory,
/home/myname

How do I do this?

thanx
