I'm not sure what's going on, but I had wu_ftpd working correctly at one time. Later, I dumped my system, and after re-installing wu_ftpd, I couldn't get it to use guestgroup properly at all. I since started using ncftpd http://www.probe.net/~mgleason/ncftpd, which works great for restricted ftp sessions, virtual ftp servers, and virtual ftp users (seperate passwd file even).
