wu-ftpd wont authenticate users

I just installed Tru64 UNIX 5.0 last night. I have enhanced security
enabled and running.

I first edited the Makefile and added -lsecurity and -DSECUREOSF.

Then I compiled wu-ftpd 2.5.0 and ensured that the ftpd that was
built was built with -lsecurity and -DSECUREOSF.

After I installed the binaries I added an entry to inetd.conf so that
the wu-ftpd would be started instead of the stock ftpd.
...
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd -l
...

When I try to ftp to this host here is what happens...
...
Connected to localhost.
220 anomaly.stupid.net FTP server (Version wu-2.5.0(1) Sat Sep 11 12:43:52
EST 1
999) ready.
Name (localhost:fb): fb
331 Password required for fb.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
ftp>
...

The daemon.log contains the following...
...
Sep 11 14:03:05 anomaly ftpd[2880]: failed login from localhost
[127.0.0.1], fb
Sep 11 14:03:22 anomaly ftpd[2880]: FTP session closed
...


If I try to log in as root it says that root is not allowed to log
in here, etc...

Any ideas what's going on here?

The whole point of all this is so I can have certain ftp users chroot'd
into a cage.

Thank you for your time.
