Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.

However, when I attempt to ftp to the box's ip I get:

[guillermo@tester ~]$ ftp 192.168.1.108
Connected to 192.168.1.108.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection.

First, check to see that ftpd is listening on that address:
sockstat -4
If you don't see the program listening, you'll have to tweak your
ftpd config.

If the program is listening, check your settings for any packet filters.
Are you running pf or ipfw?

I don't know where you got the idea that you should worry about pam, but
the fact that you can log in shows that your auth configuration is
correct.
