Thanks. I tried all those suggestions but still couldn't get it working
right. Every time I would force it to a particular server_args I would get
"500 OOPS Could not bind" (something like that).

Also tried messing with the two users lists, still couldn't get it to accept
non-anonymous logins.

After this and a number of other problems, I finally gave up on RH9 and put
RH7.3 on. Doing much better with wu-FTP.

I am beginning to think RH9 is just a huge junk pile.

Thanks again.
