Subject: nodirs and normal users - beta9

We've just added a "nodirs" flag to our ftpaccess file, and now "normal"
(non-anonymous) users can't use mkdir!  Did we just get the syntax wrong,
or is there a bigger problem?  We're running 2.4.2beta9 on DU 3.2.

ftpacess file follows.  

Thanks.

Another Strange problem.....

	my ftpd allows people to stay idle forever.. and doesn't boot them off..
any ideas why this might be?
