Subject: Guest user access

I am currently configuring wu-ftpd-2.4 for use under Solaris 2.4. I have created a guest user and group. I seem to be able to login and the user has been chroot()ed to the directory I specified. But, any time I attempt to ls or put, I get error 425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number. My anonymous access operates cleanly. The directory I have setup for the guest user lies outside my anonymous ftp directory structures. What action can I take to remedy my situation? Thanks for your assistance!

You need to have the same shared libs in the guest root, and (specific
to this error and solaris) ~guestdir/dev/tcp and ~guestdir/dev/zero.
