I'm having problems with creating a secure guest FTP account.  The
instructions say to edit the /etc/passwd file and add /./ to the end of
the path to the user directory in order to keep the users from backing up
to higher level directories.  This is what my entry looks like in
/etc/passwd:


robri:x:504:99::/www/docs/academic_programs/math/robri/./:/dev/null

Yet, this user is able to back up all the way to the root directory, and
download system files (including /etc passwd!).

What am I missing here?
