This is probably a "beginner" question for this news group, but I cannot
seem to get ftp logins to see their directory as root.  I've read about
the ftpaccess file and the group file and the passwd file, and followed
the conventions, but the darn thing keeps giving access to the whole
system.

Any advice?

Thanks
