Oh, I certainly thought I knew what you meant.  ;)

I added in the bin directory and a copy of ls, and it worked.  Thank you.

It does seem interesting, however, that the FreeBSD ftp won't do an ls
with a FreeBSD ftpd compiled with internal_ls.  Anyone care to comment on
if this is a bug, or a feature?  At this point, I'm inclined to dig
through the source and send-pr.  We can't control other people's ftp
clients, but I'd hope that our own ftp client would work with the features
of our own ftp server.  ;)

We need to use ktrace.

Thanks much,
