My original question was:

We are using WU-FTP 2.4. We would like to configure wu-ftp so,
When people login, there root directory is the directory
they by default login to. Rather like anonymous ftp.
We do not want allow users to cd to directories that
do not belong to them. Can this feature be enabled with wu-ftp ?
        
Thanks to following who replied:

        "Gernot M. Fuchs" <gfuchs_at_golay.med.unc.edu>

The answer seems to be the feature "/./" in /etc/passwd with the
use of guestgroup. Define a group in /etc/group for use with ftp.
Then within ftpaccess define guestgroup to the group created. Any
user in guestgroup will behave as anonymous ftp user.

The man pages on ftpaccess explain this reasonably well.

Regards

Pulak
