proftp question: symlinks can't be followed.

[Peter Jay Salzman <p@dirac.org>]

dear all,

i made a symlink from /data/MP3 to /home/ftp.

the trouble is that even though anonymous users can see the directory, the
can't look into the directory.  for example:

	> ls -l
	lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            9 Jul 30 07:16 MP3 -> /data/MP3
	drwxrwxrwx   2 root     root         4096 Dec 16  2000 incoming/
	-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          166 Mar  7  2000 welcome.msg

	> ls -l MP3

	> cd MP3
	MP3: No such file or directory

according to the proftpd documentation, this should be ok.  obviously i'm
missing something here.

help?

thanks!
pete
