hi i use wu-ftpd (2.6.1 currently) which doesnt allow users to go beyond the directories they are allowed to. They are restricted to their ftp dir.
on my setup, the user's shell on /etc/passwd is set to /bin/false and the home dir set to the ftp directory. Of course, /bin/false should be added to your /etc/shells file. on my /etc/ftpaccess file, i add the user's name on the entry 'guestuser username'. by default, users listed on this line is chrooted only to their directory. hth dianne --- "J.P.
