I've been running the 1.2G snapshot (very, very, very nice), and have
been unable to create directories while logged in via ftp.  Here's
a client session:

/jes-x > ftp thorin
Connected to thorin.X.Y.Z.
220- 
220- myname.my.domain -- Ftp server.
220- 
220 thorin.X.Y.Z FTP server (Version 7.00) ready.

230- "Let us have a look at this cave, then." - Thorin Oakenshield

Remote system type is UNIX.

ftp> pwd
257 "/usr/acct/spath" is current directory.
ftp> mkdir testing123

The ftpd just hangs at this point, so I do this:
^C
^]Quit (core dumped)

Any thoughts?
