Subject: [935] Trouble setting up welcome messages at login

I can't get welcome messages to be displayed at login time.		
I read the man pages and docs for ftpaccess, however I am still
having problems getting the thing to work.

I have a ftpacces file in my /etc directory.
The file is a copy of the one from the examples directory.
The only line I changed was:

message ~ftp/welcome.msg         login

the files ftpd and in.ftpd are in /bin

I am running on a SPARC 10 SunOS4.1.3.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

try specifying the file-name relative to the ftp-home dir, ie. welcome.msg
remember, anonymous ftp causes a chroot.
