Attempting to set up chroot FTP on a BSD (4.3 I think) server... but
have run into a bit of a wall.  The server seems to be chrooting the
session properly (ie. can't go higher in the tree than supposed to), but
ls does not appear to work.  In my experience this is  usually a sign
that a statically linked ls is required, or that libraries are required
in a libs dir for the "chroot".  Cannot, unfortunately see any
documentation on either in the man pages.  Any suggestions appreciated
(or an ls -laR of an anon-ftp directory would allow me to see if I've
got perms, etc set up right).

Thanks,
