Before fellow wu-ftpd admins wasting any time on my previous post
I better get this out.

It was my own mistake, but I didn't realize it until I quit testing
very early this morning (3:30 AM)

The problem was caused by a silly mistake :-( When I created a test
account in the wu-ftpd's sense of a real user, I accidentally assigned
a gid of guest user (i.e. these with chrooted environ after login) to
the "real" user account.  That messed things up.  I became suspicious
about this possibility after turning off the -a switch in the
/etc/inetd.conf and hupped inetd.  I knew then wu-ftpd wouldn't check
the /etc/ftpaccess file.
 
I must admit that last night, before the testing, I had some beer  :)
