Re: ftp errors

This is quite odd.  Does this happen for non-anonymous users as well?
I believe they would use the copies in /usr/bin.  You could very well
be right about /home/ftp/bin.  I would reinstall the ftp-anon rpm or
at least check/copy the ls from /usr/bin.  I cannot think of any normal
reason for this behavior.
