Let me first make clear that I've only little experience with Sun's...

Good point. "ld.so" is *indeed* needed in that directory.

You should create the special file /dev/zero below FTP's home directory
(remember that FTP does a chroot() to it's home directory) like this:

	% cd ~ftp
	% mkdir dev
	% mknod dev/zero c 3 12

FTPD(8c).

		Good luck,
