	This is GREAT!   ... however, it didn't work for me.    : (

	I did exactly what Jonathan indicated, and I still get the 
message (as "admin" via FTP):
		"Operation not permitted..."

	Here's the output of my Telnet session (in part):

********

# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
User                            nobody
Group                           nobody

# Restore file permissions capability to site administrator
<Global>
  AllowChmod                    on
</Global>

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
<Directory />
  AllowOverwrite                on
</Directory>

************* and *********

[root@tesla /etc]# pwd
/etc
[root@tesla /etc]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart
Stopping INET services: inetd ok
Starting INET services:  inetd
[root@tesla /etc]# exit
exit
[admin@tesla admin]$

****************

	This really blows!  Anybody know what I did wrong or need to fix?
