I wasnt able to get the message reproduced. The FTP `DIR' command invokes an ls -l, so your chroot ~ftp/etc directory needs a pwd.db. You certainly don't wanna put your _real_ pwd.db there, just a cut-down version only. Use ``pwd_mkdb -d ~ftp/etc '' to create it. It's safe to rm ~ftp/etc/spwd.db later. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
