INTERNAL_LS for my ftp server included with FreeBSD, so users can't
traverse directories outsides of $HOME.

In their $HOME directory, I have a symbolic links to another part of the
partition (not in /home). Now, when I try to use an FTP client to 
change direcotries to that symbolic link I get: "Too many levels of
symbolic links." 

I am guessing this is related to that INTERNAL_LS feature. Is it possible
to have ftp clients work for symbolic links and also follow the
INTERNAL_LS feature at the same time? I really wouldnt want to take out
that feature, but at the same time I do want FTP clinets to work. Is it
all or nothing situation? ;-)


Thanks.
