Hello.  For the convenience of users (not for any security reasons)
I want to hide dot files from users who FTP in to my machine.  I've
compiled ftpd using FTPD_INTERNAL_LS, and the users are all listed
in /etc/ftpchroot.

Is there a way to have the FTP LIST, NLST commands not show files
whose names start with a dot?  I don't care about CWD, STOR, etc.;
just the listings.  I'm comfortable editing source code; I just
can't find the right place to make the edits (removing the A flag
from the ls command in libexec/ftpd/ftpcmd.c didn't make any
difference).

I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.8.  I will eventually be moving to 3.0-STABLE.

Thanks!

Tim
