It is possible that you are missing some libraries needed for 'ls' to
lookup usernames.  It is also possible the problem is with the file
permissions for ~nrcatest/etc, ~nrcatest/etc/passwd or
~nrcatest/etc/group.

I have an example layout at ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/examples/ which
shows permissions.  This layout presumes all executables are statically
linked and no special devices or other files are needed; it works on Linux
as shown, other systems may need additional glue .. check the FAQ for your
system.
