Do you have the users home directory as (for example) /users/home/./username? Are you sure that the user in question is a member of the groups defined as "guestgroup"? One thing that bit me, was that the wu-ftp-beta 13 wanted to put it "support" files (ftpaccess, ftpconversions, etc.) in a totally different directory than the default FreeBSD installation from the ports. On my system, they are in /usr/local/lib/ftpd. Check the source code/Makefile to determine where the files are supposed to be. This one bit me for about 24 hours. -- John-David Childs (JC612) @denver.net/Internet-Coach System Administrator Enterprise Internet Solutions & Network Engineer 901 E 17th Ave, Denver 80218 I don't believe there really IS a GAS SHORTAGE..
