I have followed the setup for Anon FTP to the tee and if I try to FTP into my system, I cannot see any files. It seems to put me in the root directory ( / ) but no files or directories are seen. (Normal FTP operations for users work fine!) I have all the permissions set according to the man pages and made sure that I had a usable shell set in /etc/shells (/bin/csh). Do I need a fake user account to make this work? I have seen the same problem listed in the FreeBSD home page but no solutions. Any help will be greatly appreciated in advance. Rick
