I had the same problem, and what fixed it was the creation of the
~ftp/dev directory with the following device in it.

crw-r--r--  1 root       3,  12 Jul 27 17:48 zero

to create this do a 

mknod zero c 3 12

I tried this under BSDI 2.0.1, and created both a ~ftp/lib and ~ftp/shlib
directory with the only shlisted lib for ls (libc_s.2.0) in both and
still ls would not work under ftpd (for groupname access accounts).

If anyone out there has done this kind of thing under BSDI 2.0, could
you please contact me? I'm still having problems getting the statically
built gnu ls to work correctly as weel, even after turning off PROCTITLE and
rebuilding wu-ftpd )-: In the meantime, I will have to seriously consider
the suggestion of hacking ls to debug and generate a log file.

PS Thanks to all the private replies to my earlier post!

Cheers,
