Proftpd Ratio Config
 
I am trying to set up an ftp server on my slackware box using proftpd. I have edited the config file to my specifications, which at this point are real simple, but I am having problems with the mod ratios. This is what a snippet of my config file looks like--
# ratio fileserver
<Anonymous ~ftp>
AnonRequirePassword on
RequireValidShell off
User joe
Group joe
#AuthAliasOnly on

<Directory /home/ftp/>

Ratios on
UserRatio joe 1 0 1 0
#GroupRatio proftpd
SaveRatios on
RatioFile /home/ftp/ratios/ratios
RatioTempFile /home/ftp/ratios/tmpratios
CwdRatioMsg "please Upload"
FileRatioErrMsg "Come on, gimme a lil more.."
ByteRatioErrMsg "bitten off more than you can chew"


</Directory>


# Limit the maximum number of anonymous logins
MaxClients 50
# MaxClientsPerUser 1

# We want 'welcome.msg' displayed at login, and '.message' displayed
# in each newly chdired directory.
DisplayLogin welcome.msg
DisplayFirstChdir .message

# Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot
<Directory /ftp/full_albums/shares/*>
<Limit READ>
AllowAll
</Limit>

<Limit RETR>
AllowAll
</Limit>

</Directory>

<Directory /home/ftp/ratios/>
<Limit ALL>
Deny ALL
</Limit>
HideNoAccess on
</Directory>

# An upload directory that allows storing files but not retrieving
# or creating directories.
<Directory /home/ftp/uploads/*>
<Limit WRITE CWD>
AllowAll
</Limit>

<Limit READ RMD DELE>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Directory>

</Anonymous>

---------------------------------
I KNOW ITS MESSY!

Basically the problem is that when the user logs in the ratio feature does not seem to be enabled and they can download whatever they want without uploading. Anyone with experience writing a ratio enabled proftpd.config please save me from my mess!
