ftp and chroot problem



I'm trying to allow some limited ftp access to a few users
and restrict them to their home directory (i.e. chroot).

Currently (without modifying the /etc/ftpaccess file) the users
can view and download across the entire system.  When I put them
into group "users" and add a "guestgroup users" to /etc/ftpaccess,
it does the chroot to their home directory but it does not return
any listing of the directory (although you can cd, put & get as
long as you know the directory and file names).

Any ideas on how to remedy this, or a better way to set up ftp
logins with chroot for each user? (This particular machine is
running RedHat 5.1)

Thanks,

Jon Reuter
