"ChangeRoot" problem with WU FTP under SUSE /8

hi

I had installed a wu ftp server version 4.6.1. with the chroot option. every
user has its own home directory in witch he arrive when he logon. I have all
the necessary folders like bin and etc in the home dir. Now it runs perfect,
the user logon an he see ist own home directory.

problem:

when I remove the home dir and the user logon, he see as his home dir the
server root / ! Thats a big problem, especially when the data - disc crash !

Could I config the wu ftpd in that way that he doesn't see the root /. The
folders like /tmp or /home/tmp would be better to see. The best way would be
a error message.

Thanks and help me !

ciao sven

Why would you remove a user's home directory without disabling the
password first? Besides, he might see the root dir, but he won't have
write permission.
