Padmanabhan,
That was it. The problem was staring me blank in the face and I just
missed it. I modified the pathname to be relative to the chroot and
voila, it worked. Thank you much for your assistance!
- Bill

Subject: Re: Path-Filter Message not being displayed to users
Hello Bill,
The pathname to the message files mentioned in the ftpaccess should be
relative to the chroot.
For eg,
If for anonymous ftp, the home directory is "/var/ftp" the anonymous
user will be chrooted to "/var/ftp" and hence "/var/ftp" will be "/" so
the configuration file should mention
path-filter anonymous /pub/etc/filenameconv.msg ^[[:alnum:]._-]*$
^[.-]
rather than
path-filter anonymous /var/ftp/pub/etc/filenameconv.msg
^[[:alnum:]._-]*$ ^[.-]
Similar case for guest users also.
Padmanabhan.

Padmanabhan,
Thank you for the response. To answer your questions, the
message is not being displayed for either class of users. As for
permissions, they are 644 with ownership being root:root. I tried
setting them to 777 but that didn't make any difference either.

Hello Bill,
Is it not being displayed for both the type of users ? What is
the permission bits on the message file ?

I have the following two path filters configured with a
text file containing text on what constitutes a valid file name should
users attempt to upload a file with invalid characters. While the path
filter itself appears to be working, the message is not being displayed
to users. Instead, they receive an error indicating that permission was
denied. (Filename (accept)) appears in part of the message but it's
still not obvious to all as to what the problem is. I've looked up the
path-filter statement in the man page and the format I have seems to be
correct. Any ideas on why the message is not being displayed?
path-filter guest

path-filter anonymous
