Hello ,

I have a little question about ftpd and symbolic links.

I have the following directory structure

/usr/a/b

User "joe" is chrooted to /usr/a/b

in /usr/a/b is another directory "c" located to /usr/a/subdir

so we have
/usr/a/subdir
/usr/a/b/link_to_usr_a_subdir

I can not ftp to /usr/a/subdir throught /usr/a/b/link_to_usr_a_subdir

I think it has something to do with chroot that I can not leave
/usr/a/b but it is neccessary to follow the dynamic link into another
directory.

It looks like as if this won´t be possible, or is there a way to do
it?

I can not change the directory structure and the user must be
chrooted.

I hope to get some impressions because I do not know what to do at the
moment and I am sitting behind a developer server -(
