Re: Need to permic MAC users ftp access w/o directorychange

["Chuck Wannall" <cwannall@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, the users' home directories are set as appropriate.  The problem
seems to lie with the MAC usage.  PC programs have no problem connecting
with the directory changes blocked.  The MAC's will only connect when
the directory change is unblocked. Same user connection, different results.

If you set the users' home directories to where they need to be, there will 
be no need to eecute the offending cd command.

Alternatively, you can maintain an exception table for your exit program and

modify it to allow cd if the exception happens.
