I've installed Wu-ftp and it works fine for real
users logging in but now trying to set it up for guest
users and the chroot doesn't seem to be working.
I've added the /./ to the home directory in /etc/passwd :
fred:FUzFxpG7QiffF:100:100:Fred:/usr/www/./:/etc/ftponly
The shell /etc/ftponly exist in /etc/shells.
Am I missing something here on implementing chroot ?
I've noticed a couple of questions in the archives where people
seem to have had a similar problem but few summaries.
Thank you very much in advance (if there's anyone not watching
the match)

I don't think the following would affect the ability to chroot
but just for the record :
Wu-ftp is run with the -a flag to allow guest access. In inetd.conf :
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/ftpd ftpd -a
I've also copied /sbin/ls to /usr/www/bin/ls
and the passwd/group files to /usr/www/etc
The guest user 'fred' can log into the FTP server
and finds himself in the home directory. But he can
still cd to any part of the file system.
I've also added "guestgroups ftpusers" to the /etc/ftpaccess
file where the guest ftp user 'fred' is a member of the group
'ftpusers' but I don't think that would affect the ability to
chroot.
