Dear wu-ftpd user,

Given the following wu-ftpd setup, when ftpadmin ftp's in to the
server why, can't he write to the "/FTP/guests/aguest/pub directory"?
I get an "upload" error.  He can read the directory fine.  User "aguest"
can read and write just fine.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

(real)/etc/passwd:
------------------
ftpadmin:x:90:90:FTPADMIN:/FTP/guests:/bin/false
aguest:x:100:91:A. GUEST:/FTP/guests/./aguest:/bin/false

(real)/etc/group:
-----------------
FTPADMGROUP:*:90:
GUESTS:*:91:ftpadmin

ftpaccess:
----------
guestgroup aguest,ftpadmin
upload /FTP/guests   *   no
upload /FTP/guests pub/* yes  ftpadmin ftpadmin 0660 nodirs

permissions on /FTP/guests/aguest/pub:
--------------------------------------
drwxrwx---  2  aguest  ftpadmin  37  Apr 3 15:11  /FTP/guests/aguest/pub
