dear unix gurus (i'm running aix 4.3)
i was told to install a non-ibm-aix-4.3.3 ftp-daemon to be able to make a
'chroot' to the home-directory for ftp users. so i installed wu-ftp 2.6. but
special circumstances (a client software) does not allow me to replace the
standard ibm ftpd. so i installed the wu-ftpd in addition to the aix ftpd on
a different port to run them both at the same time.
now how can i make sure, that my wu-ftp guest account (yes, it's only one
account and he knows on which port 'his' ftp-daemon runs) really uses my
special ftp-port and not the standard aix ftp port ???? if i place this
wu-ftp-account in /etc/ftpusers he is not able to ftp anymore. wu-ftpd seems
to evaluate this file. in other words: how can i block my standard ftp for
my special user which i'd only like to allow to use my prepared wu-ftpd
account on the different port.

sorry for my stumbling english
