I'm runnig wu-ftpd on a machine with solaris 2.5.

I'm trying to do  a  login group without succes so far.

here it is what I did:

on my /etc/group       guests::21:guest
on my /etc/passwd    guest:*:21:21:Guest FTP:/export/ftp/FSE/./fse:/bin/false

(user 21 and group 21)

/usr/ftp/etc/ftpaccess

class   guests  guest           *
guestgroup guests

ls -l  /export/ftp

drwxrwx--x   3 guest    guests       512 Jan 24 15:04 FSE
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other          9 Nov  6 10:33 bin -> ./usr/bin
drwx--x--x   2 root     sys          512 Oct  3 16:23 dev
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     sys          512 Jan 24 15:17 etc
drwxrwxrwx   3 root     sys          512 Jan 20 17:49 incoming
drwx-wx-wx   2 root     sys          512 Jan 12 15:05 prive
drwxr-xr-x   5 root     sys          512 Oct  3 16:23 pub
drwx--x--x   4 root     sys          512 Nov  3 15:24 usr

and in my  ftp ~/etc

group file
root:0:0:root
guets::400:guest

passwd file
root:*:0:0::/:/bin/false
guest:403:400::/export/ftp/FSE/./fse:/bin/false

when I do an ftp to ftp.fse.ulaval.ca  and I try to connect as guest, the
ftpd deamon sends me a guest access denied, What is missing on my setup ?
any ideas ?

thanks for you help

A perfect guestgroup-howto has been written by someone already, explaining all
the gory details..

            'guestgroup howto'

            A document describing the set up of guestgroups in the
            wu-ftpd server. At this moment a seperate document from this
            document.
