FTP home directory

Managers,

    I am using wu-ftp 2.4, I have several users that have only ftp
access and not telnet access. This is what their records in passwd look
like:

pomtest:6yS7yqU2LJle4:110:103:FTP
Account:/usr/data2/web/pomeroy:/etc/ftponly

/etc/ftponly is just a dummy file, so that when someone tries to telnet,

they are not allowed and the session is closed.

If I open an ftp session to my host and enter the appropiate username
and password, I login fine but the program display the physical path of
the my home directory. And I am able to back up directories until I
reach root. I have no idea why this change. Before, you couldn't backup
from your home directory and the path was '/' as if the login directory
was root.

DO you know what is going on?
