The frustrating poblem was this:
Trying to set up guest accounts which have limited access to the file
system using wu-ftp.
I religiously followed all of the great documentation at:
http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/
But wu-ftp would not chroot, and guests had access to the entire file
system.
The cause of the problem?
A version of wu-ftp (that came on the "latest" Digital Internet Alpha
Server CD) that was from 1994.
The solution?
Download and compile the latest source which can be found at:
http://www.academ.com/academ/wu-ftpd/release.html
Thanks to Gregory A Lundberg and Tom Webster for looking over my
configuration.
And many thanks to Gernot Salzer for sharing the source code of a
version of wu-ftp that works on DU.
