"./configure --with-virtualchroot" breaks virtual users in pure-ftpd

Hi there.

Have had pure-ftpd running for a while, now decided that it'd be nice to be able to use symbolic links inside the accounts of users.

So I went back and compiled pure-ftpd this way:

Code:

./configure --with-altlog --with-puredb --with-quotas --with-virtualchroot

Everything's fine if real users log on. But if one of the virtuals logs in and tries to list his root directory, he invariably gets

Code:

LIST
150 Accepted data connection
226-Sorry, we were unable to read [.]
226-Options: -a -l
226 0 matches total
List Complete: 0 bytes in 3,92 (1,00 KBps)

Code:

./configure --with-altlog --with-puredb --with-quotas

fixes the problem again.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Regards,
Icarus

No ideas?

Will have to find another ftp daemon then.

Thanks anyway to the 9 people who viewed this thread.

Cheers,

Guess I worked around it now by using mount --bind.

Thanks anyway.
