This is not trivial, since WU-ftpd uses external executables to
perform certain operations (e.g., `ls'), so these executables and any
libraries on which they depend need to be in the chroot()'ed
environment.  It can be done; search the web for "wu-ftpd guest
login".

This works with the BSD ftpd but not WU-ftpd, AFAIK.
