     This could have been achieved simply by creating
$CS_ROOT/etc/ftpd/ftpusers and placing the users in it that you didn't
want to have FTP access.  I have done this in the CSuite source tree
for the 1.1 release.

     CSuite uses a modified version of wu-ftpd.  The main feature of
the one included with CSuite 1.0 was to keep users within their home
directory and prevent them from accessing dot files.  The new version
that will come with CSuite 1.1 will also let users have direct access
to files in their own IP area.  This is something that you won't get
with a different ftpd.  I see this as a very important feature and a
reason to use the CSuite ftpd, since it greatly simplifies the process
of maintaining IP's for people that develop their web pages off-line.
