Re: FTP permissions

I haven't the slightest idea why this is happening or rather it is allowed to
happen but I do know the following.

Anytime you su in as root you are taking a gamble in iTools. For some strange
reason most of iTools does not like root in the iTools admin group. Everytime I
am in as root I get into all kinds of trouble so I just try to avoid it.

If iTools can shed some light on this, now would be a good time.......I remember
something about not installing iTools as root sometime ago. This being a no no,
I suspect there is something to my crazy ravings.

HEY iTools.....whats up with root??? I'm sure there is a good reason but lets
not keep it a secret :o)
