I am trying to create restricted access via wuftpd for REAL users on my
system. I have had zero sucess, so I thought I would try u. Here is what I
have done:

In /etc/passwd:
user1:!:798:900::/home/user1/./:/etc/ftponly

In /etc/group:
ftponly:!:210:user1

In /usr/local/lib/ftpd/ftpaccess
guestgroup ftponly

In /home/user1
        ./bin
        ./usr
        ./etc
        ./lib
                (note: each of the above subdirectorys were copied from the
/home/ftp/bin ./etc ./lib ./usr)

user1 does NOT exist in /usr/local/lib/ftpd/ftpusers

When I try to login as user1 I immediatley get a:

530 User user1 access denied...
Login failed

If I change the shell field in /etc/passwd from /etc/ftponly to /bin/bash, I
am able to logon but of course I can go anywhere....?... What should I check
next??

Thanks,
-Rob

Does /etc/ftponly exist in /etc/shells?  If not, put the entry in 
/etc/shells, but don't create /etc/ftponly -- it should not exist.
