ftpd - only users, not anonymous

I'm using ftpd BSD system
(downloaded form www.debian.org)

I have created a new user for ftp connections... it works good, but the user
can go croos the entire hard-disk

I can't use the shadow/password, but only the old-style password in the
password file...

If I put the user in /etc/ftpchroot, it doesn't work anymore
And, probable for the same reason, I can't use ftp user for anonymous
connection

Perhaps anyone knows something about this strange kind of problems?

I have red the man page, but I can't really understand this comment,
probabilly important for my problem

ftp/bin
This directory is required, and should contain at least a statically linked
copy of ls(1).

What does statically linked copy mean?

ln /bin/ls ~ftp/bin/ls ?
ln -s /bin/ls ~ftp/bin/ls ?
cp /bin/ls ~ftp/bin/ls ?

This is the netkit ftp server. It is recommended for you to use one of its
alternatives, such as wu-ftpd or proftpd.

I'm sorry... I must download another kind of ftp-server

Yep, please use vsftpd, it can do all you are looking for pretty
easily.

Good luck

"linked statically" means not linked against any shared libraries.
Usually /bin/ls is linked against some, you may see list of shared
libraries needed by /bin/ls using command

ldd /bin/ls

Some distributions (e.g. debian) have a package with statically linked
busybox. You may install it and copy to ~ftp/bin/ls.
