Hi,
If you are using wu-ftpd v 2.6, creating guest users is quite simple.
Moreso than previously where you had to setup a chroot environment. All one
need do is place the following in ftpaccess.
restricted-uid bob
That will cause user bob to be restricted to his home directory.
Hope this helps,
Shane
