Subject: 'ls' for guestgroup?

I've set up a guestgroup, which works okay except that guest
users don't get any output when they do an 'ls'.  Real users
can list files fine, though.

I'm running a Debian pre-built wu-ftpd version wu-2.4(4) on
Linux 1.2.1.

I'd appreciate any tips or pointers to more documentation
on guestgroup.  Thanks!

Here's a sample session:

220 nanos1 FTP server (Version wu-2.4(4) Wed Sep 13 09:31:11 MET DST 1995) ready.
Name (ftp:root): guest
331 Password required for guest.
Password:
230 User guest logged in.  Access restrictions apply.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete.
ftp> 

Here's the contents of guest's directory (~ftp is set up
similarly, as well):

> ls -lR /guest

total 3
dr-xr-xr-x   2 root     root         1024 Oct  7 17:13 bin
dr-xr-xr-x   2 root     root         1024 Oct  7 17:14 etc
-rw-r--r--   1 guest    guest          11 Oct  7 17:13 test.txt

/guest/bin:
total 20
---x--x--x   1 root     root        18876 Oct  7 17:13 ls

/guest/etc:
total 2
-r--r--r--   1 root     root           17 Oct  7 17:14 group
-r--r--r--   1 root     root           80 Oct  7 17:14 passwd

Here's the guestgroup line from ftpaccess:

    guestgroup guest

Here's the group in /etc/group:

    guest:*:75:guest
