Different Limit rules on the same directory with mod_ftp

[Scott Gifford <sgifford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm using mod_ftp to provide authenticated FTP access to a Web
directory.  It is mostly read-only, but a few users should have write
access to the directory.  I am using mod_auth_mysql with groups for
authentication; there is a reader group and a writer group, and the
user with write access is in both groups.

Everything works OK if I just provide read access or write access, but
when I try to provide one group for write access and another for read
access, it ends up providing both groups with read-write access.  My
rules look like this:

  <Directory "/path/to/ftp">
      Include mysql_auth.conf
    <Limit MKD RMD STOR DELE RNFR>
      require group writer
    </Limit>
    <LimitExcept MKD RMD STOR DELE RNFR>
      Include idx_auth.conf
      require group reader
    </LimitExcept>
  </Directory>

I am not really sure how to troubleshoot this.

Does anybody have a similar configuration working, or any other
advice?

Thanks!

---Scott.
