Drew: I tried that system and got it to working (except I didn't try the quota part).... but, then I installed Proftpd which is more highly configurable with its own proftpd.conf file which I like much better than the standard ftpd that comes with FBSD. I really think you would like it better too..... Just a couple of pennies worth of thought....
