[luau] Iptables firewall question

[Florian Hines]

Its not running chrooted, theres only one user on the system that can access
it (no anonymous), and it is using passive mode.  It works fine as long as
iptables is turned off.

Errr never mind as I was sitting here trying it again it magically worked.
(with iptables on)

I'll just blame this one on the System God's. (Maybe they are telling me to
finally switch this one to vsftpd)

Thanks,
Florian

Did you install from rpm? One possibility is that once you are in the 
chroot environment you are not able to access the ls command. You might 
need to create a /bin directory in your chroot tree. Be careful what you 
put in it as you could open the door to a malicious user exploiting 
whatever you put there (including the ls command), so watch your 
permissions.
I did have this same problem once when I installed from source. There are
other possibilities but try this one first. I hope that helps. Nelson
