user's home directory is mode 700 & it is mounted over NFS & the NFS
server is not mapping root to 0

We are moving to LukemFTPd in current. 

Can you possibly try this with a -current from  
after feb 28 2002 using lukemftpd and report back 
if it works or not?

Over to Yar who has been seen working with the ftpd code.

Hi Andrew,

I'm installing a patch to FreeBSD-current that should fix the problem
you reported 3 years ago (it's a shame it took us that long to deal
with it) along with a number of other bugs in ftpd(8).
Could you test my solution in -current, or shall I provide a patch
against 4.7-stable for your convenience?

I would have just comitted it myself, but touching code with such
a high security profile makes me nervous.

Unfortunately, the problem happened at Compaq's test-drive site.  I
was for a time helping the person admin'ing the FreeBSD systems there
because of some FreeBSD/alpha issues they'd raised,  and because his
boss & I knew each other.  He left a few years back, as did his boss,
and I no longer have any contact with them...

Thanks for finally closing this!
