Package: ftpd
Version: 0.17-20
Severity: normal

I have my home directory within an NFS-mounted directory, and logging
in I get (just "/" instead of my home dir):

I do not get this nonsense when logging in to the machine containing
my home dir. Settings that may be relevant to ftpd are:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep psz /etc/passwd
