I am running RedHat 4.0 and ProFTP 1.3.0.

I have the following lines in the proftpd.conf file:

DefaultRoot /ftp/ftp.scorelab.com/RetailWeb/WSJTopTen wsj
DefaultRoot /ftp/ftp.scorelab.com

and "wsj" is defined in /etc/group and the user, wsj, is a member.

The problem is that when user wsj connects, "ls" does not show any files.
However, if the first line is commented out, then the user is able to list all the files, including all the subdirectories.

Any ideas what is going on?

I have listed the proftpd.conf file below.
Thanks in advance.
