  You need to make sure that the tar feature is available to your class 
in your ftpaccess config file.

  /etc/passwd isn't used for anything.  FreeBSD uses binary databases for 
everything.  Copy /etc/pwd.db instead.

  wu-ftpd cannot follow symlinks out of the anon FTP root.  So unless 
/usr/src is in ~ftp/ it won't work.  wu-ftpd uses chroot() on ~ftp/.
