I have not tested this on v2.4a (and am not going to), so I can't confirm
nor deny it. Either way, v2.4a is a *very* old release and should not be
used any more in a production environment. The current release is v2.5d,
available from ftp://ftp.cat-soft.com/

I have tested the above with v2.5d and it will *not* show full paths when
the "show paths relative to home dir" option is enabled in the 'setup -
users - misc' menu selection. Anyone with a license for an older version of
Serv-U can upgrade for free by simply downloading v2.5d and running the
setup program.
