It documents the method of using /./ to seperate two halves of a user's home directory path. The first half being the chroot location. Regardless of where this string lies in ftp's homedir field in /etc/passwd, the ftp server sets the root to be the same as the complete home directory. This works corrrectly for other users (real), but not an anonymous one. What gives? Thanks in advance, John T.
