I don't think this can be done, since anonymous ftp account is chroot'ed. The symbolic , such as pub -> /usr2/pub , is not goning to work. Its root dir is ~ftp. What I have done is try to remount another partition under ~ftp/pub. Or using NFS to export /usr/pub to itself is another good try. -- Yen-Wei Liu Internet e-mail address:ywliu@beta.wsl.sinica.edu.tw ywliu@gate.sinica.edu.tw FAX: +886-2-783-6444
