Gday,
Can anyone tell me what the following message regarding the
"setsockopt" function means?

Aug 2 01:33:52 pioneer ftpd[15961]: setsockopt (IP_TOS): Not owner

Everything appears to function correctly, it's just that this
message appears quite frequently in the syslog files.

Hi. I'm evaluating wu-ftpd2.4 under SCO 3.2v4.1 and when I FTP from a remote
site to this box running it, I get the following error when I enter the 'dir'
or 'ls' command:

425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number.

ckconfig ran OK and I checked permissions on all FTP-related files. I looked
at the source and it seems like a getdatasock() call is failing because of
an invalid file descriptor or something. What's really strange is that anon-
ymous FTP works fine.

Any ideas??? Thank you for your assistance. John

Yeah, I had the same problem with ftp and SCO. I had to add write
permissions to /dev/socksys in real and anonymous space. I don't know
if this creates a security problem or not.

You need to add a device "tcp" in the ~ftp/dev directory. You create this
by using the "mknod" command. Do an ls -al /dev/tcp to check the minor and
major numbers on your system, then the command should be something like
mknod tcp c 11 42

Hope this helps.

I have just grabed wu-ftpd and installed it. However, whenever I try to
log in I get

421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

and my syslog says:

Aug 1 16:55:10 coyote ftpd[17014]: connection from rain.org [198.68.144.2]

Aug 1 16:55:12 coyote ftpd[17014]: command: USER ftp^M
Aug 1 16:55:12 coyote ftpd[17014]: exiting on signal 11

I am using shadow passwords, but I would expect that would give an error
or incorrect password or some such.

Hi,

I installed wu-ftpd-2.4 on my machine. I had made some change to
the pathname.h file - instead of putting everything under /usr/local, I put
it under /opt/local. After I finished the installation, I run the
ckconfig program and got the following messages:

athena.nchgr.nih.gov# ckconfig
Checking _PATH_FTPUSERS :: /etc/ftpusers
ok.

Checking _PATH_FTPACCESS :: /usr/local/etc/ftpaccess
I can't find it... look in doc/examples for an example.

Checking _PATH_PIDNAMES :: /usr/local/daemon/ftpd/ftp.pids-%s
I can't find it...
You need to make this directory [/usr/local/daemon/ftpd] in order for
the limit and user count functions to work.

Checking _PATH_CVT :: /usr/local/etc/ftpconversions
I can't find it... look in doc/examples for an example.

.....
more deleted

How can I get rid of the error message?

hi-

when using windows moasic to access an anonymous ftp
server running on a solaris machine i get an

HT access: error server doesnot support PASV

i get the same error whether the ftp server is running wu-ftpd
or suns ftpd.

i don't get that error when accessing the server by xmosaic.

and i don't get that error from windos mosaic when accessing a
non solaris anonymous ftp server.

so i don't really know what to make of this. is there any other
libraries or permissions that the anonymous ftp needs?

any ideas would be appriciated.?

When the ftp service has been closed via ftpshut with a message
containing "%U" each new try to establish an ftp connection will lead
ftpd to abort with a segment violation error (signal 11).

ftpd expands the magic cookies of the shutdown message without having
requested a user name. Therefore "pw" (normally a pointer to a structure
containing the user name) is a NULL pointer.
My patch (see below) changes the behaviour of "%U" a bit: the RFC931 request
user name is used if available.

In the INSTALL file of wu-ftpd 2.4 it is recommended to create a link
in order for shutdown to work properly for real and anonymous user, e.g.
ln -s ~ftp/etc/shutmsg /etc/shutmsg

When the ftp service shall be restarted after an ftpshut, the correct
shutdown file ~ftp/etc/shutmsg must be removed. Deleting /etc/shutmsg
only kills the link, the actual file remains. To avoid this I wrote a
small program 'ftprestart' which checks the access file for the place of
the shutdown file, follows all links and then deletes the appropriate
file.

/etc/ftpusers is a list of users who are to be DENIED access
======
You have
ftpusers
root

guest <------ deny access to guest
anonymous

have a look at the man page ...

Ftpd authenticates users according to four rules.

1) The user name must be in the password data base, /etc/passwd, and
not have a null password. In this case a password must be provided
by the client before any file operations may be performed.

2) The user name must not appear in the file /etc/ftpusers.

3) The user must have a standard shell returned by getusershell(3).

4) If the user name is ``anonymous'' or ``ftp'', an anonymous ftp
account must be present in the password file (user ``ftp''). In
this case the user is allowed to log in by specifying any password
(by convention this is given as the client host's name).

I had the same question when I signed up a week ago. :)

You can use /etc/ftponly, as above. Simply add a line to /etc/shells like:
/etc/ftponly

and it should work. Or, as another user suggested to me, which I have
implemented, use /bin/false and put _that_ in your /etc/shells. Then they
won't be able to get a login, either.

Hope this helps!

I'm using this without /etc/ftponly existing. This is simply a shell
which won't work so that the ftp only user won't be able to use the account
to login to the system as a non-ftp user. If you like, you could create an
executable which would print a "You're not allowed to do that" message.

The whole point is that the shell for a guest account should NOT exist. The login
programme will fail to find it and hence refuse the login attempt ( thus
preventing rlogins etc). You must however include an entry '/etc/ftponly' in the
file /etc/shells, otherwise you will still be refused entry by wuftpd.

Hope this helps

In my previous message there are all my configurations for wu-ftpd.
Following the Ian Wilson message I have changed my ftpuser and
I have also create the file /etc/shells.
However the situation for my installation is the follow:

220
Name (snoopy:mmddprot): root
221
ftp> ls
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
ftp>

I see a dark tomorrow for me can you switch on that??

I would thanks Ian wilson for His precious help.

As Winfrid Magerl pointed out in [267] there seem to be two issues
1) Why does wu-ftpd exit on signal 11
2) Why does wu-ftpd not let you in

I don't use SunOs so I can't help with (1) (we have AIX, HP-UX, Ultrix and
OSF/1). I believe the "ls" command is inbuilt within the ftpdaemon. I guess
you've seen the discussion of dynamic vs statically linked "ls" for chroot'd
accounts. I'm a bit suspicious of your pathnames.h putting utmp, wtmp and
lastlog in funny places - do these files already exist? - maybe wu-ftpd expects
them to.

Maybe (1) is the cause of (2) but if not then fixing (2) may avoid (1)
happening.

It looks like you are logging in as root.
I suggest logging in to ftpd as an ordinary user with a valid login account on
the ftp server (i.e as someone who can telnet to the ftp server machine and have
a sucessful telnet session) - maybe userid mmdprot?

If that works then try logging in as user anonymous - make sure neither
anonymous nor ftp are in /etc/ftpusers.

Only if those work move on to the more esoteric stuff.

Try turning up the debugging level on the server as well as logging every
command - until you get things working.

Ian.

(P.S. in [261] you sign off as "Madotto Paolino (*madx)" but in [268] you sign
off as "*madx (Paolino Madotto)" so I'm confused as to which is your first name
and whether you'd like to be addressed/referred-to/called "*madx" instead. :-)

Hi there,

I'm trying to get wu-ftpd to compule on a HPUX 715/55 (I believe),
running 09.03 or some such. It _isn't_ working. Two requests, choose
one:

a) if someone knows what I'm doing, point it out,

You didn't install the ftp.h header file that's provided in the support
directory, which defines all those *tab entries that the compiler is
complaining about.

The installation notes mention that you should install the provided ftp.h
file into your /usr/include/arpa directory. They also caution that you should
check out your existing ftp.h file there to make sure you won't lose any
definitions by making this replacement. This seems like a lot of worthless
hassle to me, my personal solution is to just create an arpa directory in
the support directory, and move the ftp.h file there. Since there's a
-Isupport option on the compile commandline, this lets you grab the required
definitions without mucking with your system include files. This is such a
simple solution, I'm surprised it wasn't used in the original distribution.

Hi,

I still don't quite understand the meaning of class in wu-ftpd.
For example:

-------------Capture from ftpaccess----------------------------
message /opt/local/wu-ftpd-2.4/msgs/welcome.msg login all
message /etc/login.msg login anonymous ^
message .message cwd=* |
--------

--------------End capture--------------------------------------
If I change 'all' to 'real', I would NOT able to see any welcome
message when I login as myself.

Also, I still have the anonymous ftp not able to bring up welcome
page problem. Is there anyway that I turn on some traces in order
to see where the problem is?

Many thanks

could I ask you to send me the config.h and the src/pathnames.h file that you used when you compiled these files? I ask because the processes don't seem to be able to find their own pid files.

Thanks alot.

Sorry about that!

I didn't realize that the Reply-To: field was pointing to wunet. It didn't show up in my mailer. Apolgies, please no flames, and thank god I didn't mention my love for bright green mutant chipmunks that like green, old, moldy oatmeal in a white wine sauce with a rasberry-kiwi sorbee for desert.

Sorry!

I suffered from these exact symptoms when I switched from a home grown
inetd to the inetd supplied with SunOS 4.1.3.

Using ups, I traced the problem to setproctitle(), the function which
places the last command in argv[0], (On SunOS 4 this is displayed when
you do a ps(1)). This function was writing off the end of a memory
page. Presumably this was due to SunOS 4.1.3's inetd laying out the
stack in a different way. My solution was to change one of the
#define's in the SunOS 4.1.3 configuration file to disable this useful
feature.

Of course, you may have a different problem entirely. I suggest that you
build a debugging version of your ftpd and attach to it at some suitable
point.

Hi,
how about member:<passwd>:uid:gid:Guest:/home/ftp/./member:/bin/sh
and a ~user/.profile like this: exit
It works!
Only FTP-access.
BTW: the ~user/.profile should not be writable by the user :-).
Bye.

Has anyone compiled wuftpd on a machine running IRIX 5.2 ?
I've got a lot of problems using "build irix" (they say it's for 4.0.5)
on an Indigo R4000 running 5.2 and couldn't build the daemon.

Thank you for any hint, Mischa Reinhardt

It does, but only so long as the user isn't very intent on gaining access.
Much better would be to put /etc/ftponly in /etc/shells, and make it a c
program which does nothing but an exit().

>BTW: the ~user/.profile should not be writable by the user :-).

That's not the concern. If the user has write permission in his/her
home directory, he/she can overwrite the file with whatever he/she
pleases.

Of course no write permissions to the home-directory too.

I'm using wu-ftp 2.4. I'd like to set up a user account so that they wind up
not in their home directory but in the anon ftp home directory. Then they should
have access to a subdirectory which is not available to the general anon ftp
users.
Basically, I'd like to have one subdirectory under /pub available to a user's
login. I'd prefer it wasn't visable to all others, but I'd settle for not being
able to cd to it.

Anyone? :)

Wow, something grunged my last message.

I have wu-ftp 2.4 currently set up with anonymous ftp and working prefectly.
What I need to do is create a subdirectory in /pub that would be accessible
only to one account. The subdirectory would preferably be invisible to all
other users, but as long as it is inaccessible to all but the one account
that is acceptable.

I've tried setting up a separate user account, however it logs them into
their home directory. If I can set it up as desired, they would have the
home directory used by anon ftp, plus additional access to the desired
subdirectory.

How can I do this? Also, I'd like to restrict their system access, the way
anon ftp does using a chroot().

I thank each of you for your responses, but I still have a problem.

That's already there, as follows:

0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 66, 0 Jan 21 1994 /dev/socksys
0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 66, 0 Jan 07 1993 /acts/ftp/dev/socksys

I'm unsure why this is necessary since anonymous users can access FTP with
no problems, but others can't get in.

AHA!!! When I replaced the wu-ftpd with the 'old one' from backups, I received
following error when attempting to login using a user's account:

550 Can't set uid.
Login failed.

I then went back to the SCO installation disks and replaced ftpd with the
original. Now it works OK. I then re-compiled the wu-ftpd and it seems to
work OK now.

Any comments???

Hello-

I just installed the wu-ftpd on a DEC AXP 3000/600 - osf/1 v2.0.

I believe that I did every things correctly, however the anon ftp
directory still shows up numbers instead of name when you do an ls -l.

I did copy the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files into ~ftp/etc and editted
them to remove the password fields.

Can anyone help here.

One way I've seen suggested to do this (in a CERT advisory) is to have
a directory which cannot be searched by anyone (444 permissions) which
has the private directories in it with names known only by the accounts
that need them. The names for these directories should be selected
such that they won't be guessable (i.e. look like an encrypted
password /tmp/ZQIQQwKLPkLbs as an example).

There is a provision for doing this in wu-ftpd 2.4. This can be done by
specifying the group of the account you created as guestgroup in the
ftpaccess file. More information about it is given in the INSTALL document
with the software.
Hope this helps.

Well- To answer my own question...

I misread the INSTALL doc. I had copied /etc/sia/siainitgood to ~ftp/etc/
instead of ~ftp/etc/sia/

Oops.

Why does wu-ftpd hang for a few seconds when called from some machines and not others???
Does wu-ftpd try to do a reverse-finger to figure out who the client is?

It could be the RFC931 remote username lookup routine. Not a reverse
finger, but actual request for the username of the process owner, hence
more accurate than a reverse finger. (Both can be spoofed, however)

For safety, don't do this.
The proper way is to edit /etc/shells to include /bin/false
Then change the command from /etc/ftponly to /bin/false in the /etc/passwd
file. This is the recommended method and is rock solid.

I have installed wu-ftp on Solaris 2.3 and would like to know the
appropiate file protection on ~ftp.

The anon-ftp FAQ suggests:

Make the directory owned by root (NOT ftp) with the same
group as ftp.

The ftpd manual on Solaris 2.3 says:

Make the home directory owned by ftp and unwritable by
anyone. This directory should not be on a file system
mounted with the nosuid option.

Which is more secure?

Thanks in advance,

If you make ~ftp owned by root and in group ftpgroup, you need to make
sure that you don't give group write access to ~ftp. I'd create a
special group of people who can write to ~ftp and make it owned by that
group, if you want to use group write perms. That's how one of my anon
sites is set up.

Unix file/directory permissions are pretty secure, but Sun's ftpd does
not implement the CHMOD verb which some (wu-ftpd?) do. If your ftpd
supports chmod, and ~ftp is owned by ftp, then an anonymous user could
conceivably 'chmod 777 /', followed by 'PUT .rhosts' and then rlogin, rcp or
rsh.

> Which is more secure?
I'd go for root.ftpers ownership or similar. Make ~ftp mode 775, and put
yourself in group ftpers. DON'T put ftp in group ftpers.
Additionally, make the login shell of user ftp /bin/anonftp and put
/bin/anonftp into /etc/shells. /bin/anonftp should not actually exist.
This is just in case someone does manage to rlogin - they'll have no
shell and get logged out again. Or you could put the following into
/bin/anonftp (and make it executable)
---------
#!/bin/sh
echo "ALERT!!!" | mail -s Anonftp_login_attempt [email protected]

This is not as safe as having a separate shell that does nothing but exit
that is in /etc/shells. Many shells can be interrupted while reading from
profile, which would allow the user to obtain an interactive shell.

ObDisclaimer: I am new to this mailing list, so I wish to apologize
in advance if this topic has been covered before. Also, I have read
most of the wu-ftpd man pages, but I haven't grubbed through the
code much yet.

I am currently attempting to learn how to properly configure the
wu-ftpd to allow or deny access based on fully-qualified domain
name. Here is my particular situation. Maybe you will have some
pointers for me? :-)

I need to restrict access to an ftp server so that only *.mil can
gain anonymous access. (Yes, I know how easy it is to spoof FQDNs.
We aren't protecting any sensitive information. Now hush.) We are
currently using tcp-wrappers, which does a marvelous job of denying
access when appropriate. The down side, however, is that those users
who are denied access are denied because their DNS servers do not
have the reverse-DNS lookup tables filled in. Because tcp-wrappers
(AFAIK) can't send out informational messages like wu-ftpd can, we
get all kinds of calls from users who think there is a problem at OUR
end :-(.

So we would like to remove the tcp-wrapper and allow the wu-ftpd to
perform the filtering function. I have seen multiple ways to do
this, and I am not sure which one is the CORRECT way to go.

1. It appears that I could use the <class>, <limit>, and
<deny !nameserved> keywords in the ftpaccess file to define a class
"nonmil" that is limited to zero users at all times.
Questions: Is a limit of zero correct/sensible?
Will a zero limit be interpreted as no access by
the wu-ftpd?
Is this the way to go?

2. It also appears that I could use the ftphosts file to allow/deny
access. This appears to be quite flexible, but how reliable is it?
Is it any more or less reliable than number 1 above? Is THIS the
way to go?

Are there any other ways to get the job done that I am missing?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Chris Shutters

New to wu-ftpd...

I would like to hide files from dir & ls commands in our anonymous
ftp server. Is there some filter I can use so that the files are
not displayed? In general, I do not want .<filename> files to get
displayed; although I am only concerned about the ~ftp/ directory
and do not mind if users can see .<filename> in other directories.
I tried playing with path filters, but that did not seem to work.
Any ideas? Is this possible? Thanks!

Sean.

Did you #define SHADOW_PASSWORD in src/config.h? Also, your
users can't have passwords longer than 8 characters, so you
have to make sure that shadow isn't using long passwords.
(Normal Unix truncates at 8 characters.)

Can't help with your 2nd question -- I run SunOS 4.1.3.

Hello,

I've succeeded to compile the wu-ftpd-2.4 package on a Linux host.
(I'm using the kernel 1.1.21).
I have two questions:
1)
I installed shadow password support on this system, because
we use the slackware distribution of Linux and it doesn't contain this
stuff. As far as I remember, the wu-ftpd package supports the shadow
passwords, but it looks, it doesn't. Real users can't log in, only the
anonymous user can. Next, I made a trick. I saved the shadow-style
/etc/passwd to a safe place and I replaced it with the original
non-shadow-style passwd file. And then real users could login as well.
Where did I make a mistake?

2)
On-the-fly-compression doesn't work. I thought that some libraries
must be missing. So I made a softlink from the ~ftp/lib (~ftp=/home/ftp) to
./../lib . I got the same result.

Thanks in advance... (And I am sorry if these questions are FAQs).
Cheers,

Bertold

A simple solution would be to chmod 111 the respective directory you won't
show. That's what I made with our private/ directory.

I'll leave this to other correspondents. My box , a sun with 4.1.3 , has
shodown passwords and perhaps with some config options when building
wu-ftp, it's all working fine for me, I think, ;-) .

Anon ftp will do a chroot so it won't necessarily follow the soft link.
I've mimicked the /bin /lib dirs under ~ftp and put gzip etc in these
places as well. Again this is on a sun box.

Hello,

I am attempting to allow a one incoming directory on our ftp server (for a
reason I will not go into). The possibility exists that a number of
directories on the server will be mode 777. We are using the 2.4 version
of wu-ftpd under BSDI 1.1. When attempting to use the upload configuration
parameter, I can get it so that no uploads are allowed or uploads are allowed
in all directories that have world write permissions.

I am trying to allow uploads into the incoming directory but no where else.

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks -

Chris Peckham

Hi,

I want to create an ftp site that will allow non-anonymous ftp to users
who are not contained within the /etc/passwd file. I have a seperate
database of user names/passwords that I would like to be used in addition
to the passwd file. I was wondering if anyone has done anything similar
with wu-ftpd before or if there were any major drawbacks to such an idea.

My only alternative I can see would be to mod the user verification code
myself using an external program to query my database and pass the
information in as a result.

I am trying to create a system allowing the following 3 types of ftp
access.
1) Standard anon ftp to an anon ftp set of directories.
2) Standard real ftp for users in the passwd file
3) Secure ftp for users in the database to a limited directory structure
seperate to the anonymous one.

Any info would be appreciated.

Stu

Please forgive me, I have just installed wu-ftpd-2.4 under SunOS 4.1.3
and am having problems. I have read the documentation and the Anon FTP
FAQ but can't discover my errors.

I have created a directory heirarchy for software distribution, but I
cannot get downloads to function. The following is a partial listing
of the directory:

-rwxr--r-- 1 root staff 272 Aug 9 15:42 file1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 512404 Aug 8 15:54 file2

I am able to retreive "file1", but not "file2". When I do a "get
file2", I receive the standard response, but no data transfer occurs
and the transfer just sits there.

This does not appear to be a problem with file sizes, I have created a
massive sized file (>100MB) and have been successful in transfering it.

Permissions should not be a problem. In fact they are identical.

This appears to occur for both "real" and "anonymous" users.

I have enabled debugging information to be written to syslog, but
there appears to be no difference in the information logged for
either file.

On the both the client and server side, I can watch with netstat that
both the control and data sockets have been created.

The only difference that I can identify is that file2 was created prior
to file1, but attempting to get a new/different copy of file2 does not
solve the problem. (Just noticed that file1 is executable, but a
simple chmod does appear to make any difference.)

Any ideas???

Item's 1 & 2 are standard. Item 3 could be handled in multiple ways.
If they were coming from a single area, couldn't you create a group
for them and allow group access to a seperate heirarchy? Or if
known by name, them simply create new users with a common home
directory. But I suspect that your question was more of "how
can I have a seperate authorization list outside of /etc/passwd?"
And my solution does NOT answer your question.

Hello all,

I have some rather naive questions to ask but as I am rather inexperienced at
this sort of thing I'd appreciate your patience and any help you can give me.

I am at present in the midst of installing wu-ftpd-2.4 onto a sun3 running
sunos 4.1. I've reached the point where the instructions say to copy over
such files as ftphosts, ftpcaonversions, ftpaccess and so on. All I have for
these are the files included in the examples directory in the distribution.
My problem arises in that I am certain I will need to edit these to suit our
purposes here. Unfortunately I do not understand perfectly what is being
said/done all the time. Can anyone refer me to some reference material? Our
main use of ftp will be to set up an anonymous ftp account to distribute some
specialized software. We want a secure and highly restricted site.

Thank you in advance,

PCVS

-I want to create an ftp site that will allow non-anonymous ftp to users
-who are not contained within the /etc/passwd file. I have a seperate
-database of user names/passwords that I would like to be used in addition
-to the passwd file. I was wondering if anyone has done anything similar
-with wu-ftpd before or if there were any major drawbacks to such an idea.
-
-I am trying to create a system allowing the following 3 types of ftp
-access.
-1) Standard anon ftp to an anon ftp set of directories.
-2) Standard real ftp for users in the passwd file
-3) Secure ftp for users in the database to a limited directory structure
-seperate to the anonymous one.
-
-Any info would be appreciated.
-
-Stu

How about setting up one account in the passwd file, setting that
account up as a guest user, with a directory structure not open to anyone
outside of owner/group (if you want to set up a special group with accesses).
Then you can pass that one account's password to the subset of people you
want, give them access to certain files only, and make the account ftponly if
you wish, so that security is preserved. Setting them up as guest also allows
for them to be chrooted into the anon-FTP tree and not allowed to wander
around your system as a normal user could.

Here's a bit from my anon tree:

dr-xr-sr-x 3 root wheel 512 Aug 9 08:43 bin/
dr-xr-sr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 30 1993 dev/
dr-xr-sr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 30 1993 etc/
dr-xr-s--- 4 eval eval 512 Aug 8 10:08 eval/
dr-xr-s--- 2 exi exi 512 Apr 7 12:14 exi/
dr-xr-sr-x 13 ftp misc 512 Jul 28 14:21 pub/
dr-xr-sr-x 3 root wheel 512 Sep 30 1993 usr/
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 108 Jul 27 11:14 welcome.msg

Note that eval and exi are not open to anyone outside of those groups
and/or accounts. So anon users get 'permission denied' when trying to access.

Hope this helps!

Pat (who's still not able to figure out the on-the-fly un/compresession
stuff...)

When you install the server, it should put some manpages into your man
tree. Possibly a local man tree if you've specified such. I have the following
that were installed for me:

-rw-rw-rw- 1 root 11568 Jul 22 09:02 ftpd.8
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin 374 Jul 22 08:51 ftpcount.1*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin 450 Jul 22 08:51 ftpwho.1*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin 13744 Jul 22 08:51 ftpaccess.5*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin 931 Jul 22 08:51 ftpconversions.5*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin 618 Jul 22 08:51 ftphosts.5*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin 10335 Jul 22 08:51 ftpd.8*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin 2175 Jul 22 08:51 ftpshut.8*

Might try just typing 'man ftpaccess' and seeing if you get
something...

Have you turned on 'hash' to see if data transfer is occuring?
Depending on the speed of your link, it might take 10 minutes or more to
transfer a file as large as file2. Stopping in the middle may invalidate the
transfer and erase the file.

Further symptoms. This problem occurs with compressed files. I have
taken a compressed file, attempted to transfer it and failed. I then
uncompressed it and succeeded in copying it. Re-compressed it and
again failed.

For example, I have performed the following:

For a text file "PLAIN", I can download. I compress this file
creating "PLAIN.Z" which cannot download. If gzip is used to
create "PLAIN.gz", the download also fails.

Take a text file "PLAIN" and compress it (compress or gzip, it
doesn't appear to matter), creating "PLAIN.Z". Rename this
file to "PLAIN.COMPRESSED" (so there is no suffix to work with).
The file "PLAIN.COMPRESSED" will not download.

Take a compressed file "TEST.tar.Z" (I CAN upload these files),
and attempt to download and fail. Uncompress this file to
create "TEST.tar" which can download.

Someone suggested toggling "HASH" to see if anything is being
transfered. NO, nothing is being transfered. (By the way,
along with this suggestion was a comment that a slow network
link may make the transfer appear to fail. I'm on an FDDI
ring at 100MB and actually obtaining very high data transfer
rates when everything works.)

Is there any possibility that the "ftpconversions" could be
causing any of this problem? My "ftpconversions" file contains:

:.Z: : :/bin/compress -d -c %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:UNCOMPRESS
: : :.Z:/bin/compress -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:COMPRESS
:.gz: : :/bin/gzip -cd %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:GUNZIP
: : :.gz:/bin/gzip -9 -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:GZIP
: : :.tar:/bin/tar -c -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_TAR:TAR
: : :.tar.Z:/bin/tar -c -Z -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+COMPRESS

This was taken from the wu-ftp-2.4/doc/examples/ftpconversions file.
Note that there is actually a space at the begining of each line. (The
results with renamed compressed files would indicate to me that this
problem is NOT the reason, but ...)

I need help with ftpd 24. on Ultrix 4.4 (and 4.3a). In both cases
the system is configured for enhanced security. With no edits
anywhere, build ult and build install, along with placing the
control files, works for anonymous users. Real users get rejected
with code 530.

When I edit config.h to #define ULTRIX_AUTH, the build fails
with "authorize_user" not found.

Is there some kind Ultrix user out there who could send me a
recipe for making this thing work?

Hi there,

I just installed wu-ftpd on a workstation and everything works fine,
except from pc's. We are running pcnfs5.0 on them and now when you ftp
to that workstation is says 'Connected to ..." and they hang.

I just joined this list so if it's a known bug, forgive me.

Thanks in advance.

Paul

I should have been more precise about the problem. Quite a few people have
told me about the - sign for the password reply. But I never get that far.
The pc's freeze instantaneously after the connect message.

I hope this is clearer.

Hi, it's me again.

The problem with the pc's freezing up is solved. Before, I used the wu-ftpd
from the HP archive in Liverpool. I now ftped an original version from
ftp.uu.net and compiled that. Now my problems are solved.

I don't exactly know what they changed in Liverpool but I'll send them a
mail and explain. The daemon itself is about 4K bigger now so they must
have changed something.

Anyway, thanks everybody for your help.

Paul

Hello all,

I have some more questions, this time regarding some of the notes from the
installation instructions.
1) What does it mean "!nameserved" and do I need the " " ?
2) How do I make a README* file (ie make a workable one)?
3) What does it mean "magic cookie"?
4) Can I have more than one domain name in a class statement? (I'm not
sure it is even necessary, however.)
5) What does it mean to "...have a home directory of <root-dir>
(argument to the chroot())" exactly?

Well that's it so far. I seem to have installed the basic wu_ftpd. I even think
it might be working all right (I'm just getting ready to test). But I still
need to set up messages and README and greeting and so on. And I need to be
sure all the security is working as I wish. Oh yes, another question... I want
both commands and transfers to be logged; will both output go to the same file?

Thanks for the assistance.

PCVS

BTW, it also does not appear for real users.

Do I have to stop and restart inetd each time I make a change? Is that what I
am missing?

Thanks again.

Greetings again.

I thought I had things set up all right -- that is, anonymous users can log
in. However the welcome message does not appear. It is located under the ftp
directory thus I must be misunderstanding something else. Can someone clue
me in?

Thank you.

For the third option there is an option called guestgroup in
wu-ftpd 2.4 or above. Please refer to the document INSTALL which
comes with the software.

Hi again.

Well, I have my welcome message coming through and I am gaining a better
understanding of how things work. Except... although I have enabled
command logging xferlog remains empty. I have tried changing ownership
from root to ftp but that made no difference, permissions don't seem to
be the problem either. So I am at a loss with this. This ability to log
commands and transfers was one of the main reasons I wanted to install
wu-ftpd. so I really hope someone can shed some light on this difficulty.

Thank you,

PCVS

Hi all,

Is it possible to restrict access on the basis of IP number. That is, I
want all users in the local domain to be able to write to a particular
directory, in the anonymous ftp area, but for anyone outside that domain to
be able to read whatever is in the anonymous ftp area. Thus I would like
to be able to say that if your IP number matches a certain pattern you are
allowed write access. Not all users within that domain have accounts on
the ftp server machine (an IBM RS6000, AIX 3.2.5)

Thanks for any help you can offer,

Cheers,
Anne

Entry in .../ftpaccess:

message .message cwd=* <- just an information

The location of the welcome message:
~ftp/etc/msgs/welcome.msg

Think for the chroot ;-)

Edit the src/Makefile, make sure you have:

LAUTH = -lauth

And make sure the "ftpd" line uses it:

ftpd: ${OBJS} ${LIBC}
${CC} ${CFLAGS} -o $@ ${OBJS} ${LIBES} ${LAUTH}

It should work, we're using it here...

We have Version 2.4 of 'wu-ftpd' and have noticed a problem. On
our copy running on Data General DG/UX 5.4.2, when a user
invokes 'mget' during an anonymous session, no new-line is
written to the log file. Consequently, no additional lines
are written to the log until the inetd is restarted or the
host is rebooted. Have you seen this problem? Is there a solution?

I've tried installing the ftpd executables per the INSTALL directions.
I've been successful in compiling and installing but when I try to
connect to my server I get the following message from inetd:

someone wants ftp
accept, ctrl 3

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Hi,

I've installed wu-ftpd 2.4 on Sunos4.1.3 and Sunos4.1.1. The problems
that I am getting is with dir and ls -l as anonymous. It seems to work with
real users, but not with anonymous.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

We have been running Version wu-2.4 between Suns for about 3 weeks now
with no reported problems. However, we had a Convex client connect and
they could do everything but get the results of an 'ls'. They can 'cd'
to subdirectories and put and get files. But when they 'ls', all they
get is (paraphrasing since I can't see their scroll):

Opening data connection for '/bin/ls'
ftp>

That is, the command is accepted, it goes away, and then comes back with
just a prompt - no file list, no error message, nothing.

I don't have the docs in front of me, but I'd like to ask the following
question:

- Do I absolutely have to have a 'ls' binary in each ./bin account? Sun
clients don't seem to need one, but maybe Convex clients do?

Thanks for your help,

Dennis

Denise, I just installed wu-ftpd on SunOS 5.3 (Solaris 2) and I had a very similar problem. real users could use ls, but anonymous users coulnd't. (I would get a data socket error)

The solution to my problem was the fact that real users use the normal system ls. Whereas anonymous users used the ls in the ~ftp/bin directory. Anonymous users then must have there own /dev/tcp and /dev/zero files also in the ~ftp hierarchy.

But since you don't need ~ftp/dev/tcp & ~/ftp/ftp/zero, this is not your solution. I just wanted to show you the two types of users (anonymous & real) use different ls and/or different system files.

Hope this helps in any way!

I had this same thing happen on my Sunos 4.1.3 box. My solution was to get
a newer libc.so. I had libc.so.1.3.6. When I put libc.so.1.8 in the ~ftp/lib
dir everything worked great.

Hope this helps.

I've posted this problem before, but I guess I need to give more details.
I've compiled and installed wu-ftpd2.4 on SunOs4.1.3. As anonymous I can do
an ls, but not dir or ls -l. As myself I can do dir,ls,ls -l in my own dir.

I wonder if I have the permissions set correct or not.

Hi!
I recently downloaded an archive entitled 'describe-1.8.zip', to use in
conjunction with wu-2.3
I have seen this program working and it works well, replacing ~ftp/bin/ls
with itself, and sending meaningful descriptions with filenames when you
list a directory. I am running Linux 1.1.34, and can't get it to compile,
unfortunately, but I was wondering if this sort of description based
directory lister could be intergrated into wu? It basically keeps a small
database in each directory that stores the file information, along with
descriptions for each file...
If anyone is interested in looking at the code, it can be found on:-

werple.apana.org.au:/unix/describe-1.8.zip

Also, if anyone has a copy compiled under Linux, could you please mail me?

Thanks.

Ben

Hello all,

Yes, I know that there were some letters about building a mirroring site.
But I couldn't have this mirror stuff worked properly at our site.
As a matter of fact I have no experience in PERL so I am a bit in trouble.

I try to run it on a Linux host (kernel 1.1.21) and whenever I try it to
run I got the error message that there is an undefined label in one of the
system's PERL-style header file. (This label is __GNU_C__ or something like
this..)

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Bertold

The dir problem seems to be fixed when I installed a statically linked ls.

Get the GNU fileutils off any archive site near you. I got it from
prep.ai.mit.edu in /pub/gnu dir. Compile "ls" with the -static option and
that's all. Copy the compiled ls to ~ftp/bin and you don't need the libraries
that you were supposed to copy over for the dynamically linked ls.

I hope this helps.

This will "solve" the dir problem, but be aware that on the fly
compression/tarring won't work if you don't have the appropriate
libraries (unless you do the same thing with tar and gzip, of course).

At our site, we only allow real ftp access from certain machines. Is there a
neat way to add machines with comments rather than having a long string of IP
addresses?

I would like to do something like:

class local real 128.102.32. , # our local subnet
128.102.16. , # Another local subnet

and so on.

Thanks,
Marcel

Thanks a bunch! It was kind of a stupid question which I realized after I
sent it, but thanks for answering and not commenting on my lack of brain

To: [email protected]

Reply-to: [email protected]
Message-id: <[email protected]>
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

My original question was:

I installed wu-ftp version 2.4. I am trying to use "guestgroup".
I would like to allow members of the guestgroup only ftp access,
and not rlogin. I would add an entry in passwd such as:

member:<passwd>:uid:gid:Guest:/home/ftp/./member:/etc/ftponly

But I don't know what the file ftponly should be like. Is it an
script? What ownership/permissions should it have?

Thanks in advance,

Dirce
========================
Most suggestions were unanimous, in adding /etc/ftponly in the /etc/shells.
A suggestion to create ~user/.profile was not advised. I used the first
idea, and it worked.

You can use /etc/ftponly, as above. Simply add a line to /etc/shells like:
/etc/ftponly

and it should work. Or, as another user suggested to me, which I have
implemented, use /bin/false and put _that_ in your /etc/shells. Then they
won't be able to get a login, either.
----------
I'm using this without /etc/ftponly existing. This is simply a shell
which won't work so that the ftp only user won't be able to use the account
to login to the system as a non-ftp user. If you like, you could create an
executable which would print a "You're not allowed to do that" message.

------------
The whole point is that the shell for a guest account should NOT exist. The login
programme will fail to find it and hence refuse the login attempt ( thus
preventing rlogins etc). You must however include an entry '/etc/ftponly' in the
file /etc/shells, otherwise you will still be refused entry by wuftpd.

It does, but only so long as the user isn't very intent on gaining access.
Much better would be to put /etc/ftponly in /etc/shells, and make it a c
program which does nothing but an exit().
------------
>Only FTP-access.
>BTW: the ~user/.profile should not be writable by the user :-).

That's not the concern. If the user has write permission in his/her
home directory, he/she can overwrite the file with whatever he/she
pleases.
----------
how about member:<passwd>:uid:gid:Guest:/home/ftp/./member:/bin/sh
and a ~user/.profile like this: exit
It works!
Only FTP-access.
BTW: the ~user/.profile should not be writable by the user :-).
Bye.
------------------
For safety, don't do this.
The proper way is to edit /etc/shells to include /bin/false
Then change the command from /etc/ftponly to /bin/false in the /etc/passwd
file. This is the recommended method and is rock solid.

======================================
Thanks to all who responded!

Just an idea....

I have set up wu-ftpd 2.4 on a Solaris 2.3 machine. In ~ftp/bin, I
have:
compress, gzip, tar (GNU), ls

There is no problem with:

get foo.Z
get foo.gz
get foo.tar

Yet, the followings do not work:

get foo.tar.Z
get foo.tar.gz

No error returned but the file transferred is 0 byte. Any idea what has
gone wrong?

The following is my /etc/ftpconversions:

Hi there,

I had a problem with that also on our HP 735. I tried to set up on anonymous
account with a chroot. In my case the problem was that gzip, compress and tar
use shared libs and because I did a chroot, it couldn't start the dynamic
loader for the shared libs (dld.sl). I solved it by getting GNU zip and tar and
compress.tar from ftp.uu.net and compiling them without shared libs.
Now it works great.

please excuse my english

I' m looking for a special ftp-client, so that I can define which port-number
do the data-process use. The reason is, that I can define an filter-list
without the need, to open ports > 1023 on my router. An other goal would be to
deny the put-command. Dont' ask me why, it's just for deny "export" some un-

Hmmm, I thought that this may be the problem, but he said that just getting
stuff with the single extension (foo.Z or foo.gz) worked just fine. Were it
a problem with shared libs, then none of it would work...

I telneted to the ftp port and the daemon gave a clear error message about
not being able to access dld.sl (the dynamic library loader).

I was originally asking about the ftpaccess and the upload command. I
knew the syntax from the man page and he sample configuration files
but was having problems getting it to work on a BSDI system.

There is a small problem with ftpd2.4 and bsdi (no surprise there) :-|

A version that works correctly for bsdi systems may be found at

ftp:owlman.academ.com:/pub/bsdi

Thanks to the BSDI user mailing list archive for the answer -

There are several ftp client codes out there. I used the ftp client
from the TIS firewall toolkit because it was the smallest, therefore I
could find what I was looking for.

get the toolkit from tis.com, and look in the directory:
fwtk/tools/client/gate-ftp
When you compile, you'll need to change a line in the Makefile. That is, make
sure PASSTHRU is undefined. Then hack the code so that the socket opened meets
your requirements.

It worked for me!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry to waste any net bandwidth.
Anyway I hope it is a quick question.
I ftp the GNU fileutils and try to compile it with the '-static' flag.
I cannot figure out where I should make the change, ie the Makefile,
congure.status, etc. I try to follow the INSTALL file and it is
not too helpful. Can you give me some hints?

Thanks in advance.

You need to put it in the CFLAGS portion of the Makefile (this is all
assuming that you're using gcc). If it's cc, you gotta use -Bstatic.

Hmmm, sorry to waste your time but... Am I the only one finding the
Subject: line on this list being ridiculous? Look at the one in this
letter, my mail client only shows Re: [#] Re: [#] ...
I like being able to quickly see if a message is of interest or not,
by looking at the Subject: line.

Anyone agree the current scheme with numbering is poor?

The following will work. I have a number of sites in the same class.

class local real 128.102.32. # our local subnet
class local real 128.102.16. # Another local subnet

But i think you might need '*' to pattern match the last IP address part. See
info from:

You forget, that the last machine in the subnet 128.102.16.0 has the
number 128.102.31.254 if he has a netmask of 255.255.240.0 (and I think he has).
Then the example should look like this:

class local real 128.102.1[6-9].* 128.102.[2-3][0-9].* 128.102.4[1-7].*

I think this should include all hosts in the two local subnets
(from 128.102.16.1 to 128.102.47.254, 128.102.47.255 and 128.102.31.255
are the broadcast adresses for the networks).
If you have a netmask 255.255.255.0 (networks 128.102.16.1|2|3|...)
then the first example is right (128.102.16.* 128.102.32.*).
Don't forget the reverse mapping of the ftpd. If any of this hosts is
found in the /etc/hosts or nis or nameservices, you got the real name
which doesn't fit in the upper examples.

I hope this helps.
Sorry for my bad english :-)

regards

winfried

Hi,

I just installed Version wu-2.4(1) on our firewall machine.
The anonymous stuff works really neato, but the real users can't log in.

This annoys the real users;-}

The machine is an DEC MIPS Ultrix 4.3 box (RISC).

It doesn't say "530 User root access denied..." like when you try to
log into an account in ftpusers, but it allows you to type in the password
but then just complains "530 Login incorrect." We have tried may different
accounts and have verified this works from the old FTP.

Please help.

Cheers,

Hi,

I think the question has been posted by someone else before.

I want to setup a ftp access, either anonymous or a regular
account that only some people can access that directory.
Once those users login in, they cannot cd to directory above.

Will welcome any comments.

Thanks in advance

Howard,

The basic feature of wu-ftpd that allows you to set up specific name login/password ftp access to a chroot'ed directory structure is called 'guestgroup'. When a ftp client connects and logs in as a specific username and password, wu-ftpd checks to see if the group the user is in is specified by the 'guestgroup' keyword in the 'ftpaccess' file. If so, wu-ftpd does a 'chroot()' call to the prefixed part of directory that comes before a '.' specified as the user's homedir in the password file. After the chroot, the user then has access to only that directory structure.

Important to note that the directory structure to support this needs to be set up as if it was an anonymous ftp directory structure.

Below are examples from the various files that need to be modified. The example sets up two logins, 'guest1' and 'guest2' that can ftp in and have access to their own home directory structure under '/ftp/guests'. The example adds restrictions in the 'ftphosts' file that 'guest1' must connect from 'host1.domain1.com' and 'guest2' from 'host2.domain2.com' - this is optional - defaults to connections from anywhere. The example also sets up a class in the 'ftpaccess' file for the guests called 'guestgroup' and then sets limits access to 10 users to times between 7:00AM through 7:00PM, Moday through Friday - this is optional - defaults to access anytime.

All this is contained in the documentation. While i have tried to make the examples accurate, they should serve as a guide along with the documentation. I will say that it does work, and well at that.

Example ftpaccess entry:
___________________________________________________________________________
guestgroup ggroup
class remoteguest guest host1.domain1.com
class remoteguest guest host2.domain2.com
limit remoteguest 10 Wk0700-1900 /opt/local/etc/ftpmsgs/msg.toomany
limit remoteguest 0 SaSu|Any1900-0700 /opt/local/etc/ftpmsgs/msg.closed
___________________________________________________________________________

Example ftphosts entry for restricting access:
___________________________________________________________________________
allow guest1 host1.domain1.com
allow guest2 host2.domain2.com
___________________________________________________________________________

Example password entries for guestgroup users that would share the same chroot'ed directory structure:
___________________________________________________________________________
guest1:x:501:201::/ftp/guests/./home/guest1:/etc/ftponly
guest2:x:501:201::/ftp/guests/./home/guest2:/etc/ftponly
___________________________________________________________________________

Example group file entry for guestgroup 'ggroup':
___________________________________________________________________________
ggroup::201:
___________________________________________________________________________

Good luck.

Bonjour

We are trying to get wu-ftpd running on a Linux system. Kernel version
1.1.34. What happens is the following.

When a user trys to get something of the ftp server, it sends nothing
but mysteriously stays silent. Kind of annoying to say the least. Looking
at the logs reveals nothing either:

Aug 19 12:54:48 dns ftpd[13551]: <--- 200
Aug 19 12:54:48 dns ftpd[13551]: Type set to I.
Aug 19 12:54:48 dns ftpd[13551]: command: PORT 198,161,236,10,5,50^M
Aug 19 12:54:48 dns ftpd[13551]: <--- 200
Aug 19 12:54:48 dns ftpd[13551]: PORT command successful.
Aug 19 12:54:49 dns ftpd[13551]: command: RETR lynx^M
Aug 19 12:54:49 dns ftpd[13551]: <--- 150
Aug 19 12:54:49 dns ftpd[13551]: Opening BINARY mode data connection for lynx (2
83652 bytes).
Aug 19 12:55:53 dns ftpd[13551]: command: ABOR^M
Aug 19 12:55:53 dns ftpd[13551]: <--- 426
Aug 19 12:55:53 dns ftpd[13551]: Transfer aborted. Data connection closed.
Aug 19 12:55:53 dns ftpd[13551]: <--- 226
Aug 19 12:55:53 dns ftpd[13551]: Abort successful
Aug 19 12:55:54 dns ftpd[13551]: <--- 221
Aug 19 12:55:54 dns ftpd[13551]: You could at least say goodbye.

In the above, I ended the file transfer as my end wasn't getting anything.
If I turn on "hash" on my client, it prints nothing. But, if I get
network statistics on the other end, it prints a huge send-q number. It
appears that nothing is getting through --- I think its a problem
with wu-ftpd though since I can send files to the server no problem
at all.

I am running the wu-ftp 2.4 linux kit that is available on sunsite.unc.edu.

Hope to hear from somone who has it working... or knows what the problem
is. I can send more info if needed.

(The number of repeated Qs which go through this list is crazy.
Does anyone maintain a net-accessible archive of FAQs??)

I've set up all 3 of compress, gzip and GNU tar as defined in
the default ftpconversions file (wu-ftpd version 2.4). The GZIP
and GUNZIP operations work fine, e.g.:

ftp> get README.gz
local: README.gz remote: README.gz
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for /bin/gzip.
226 Transfer complete.
920 bytes received in 0.06 seconds (14.97 Kbytes/s)

But COMPRESS and UNCOMPRESS refuse to work, ftpd finds the
executable file, but the output is null:

ftp> get README.Z
local: README.Z remote: README.Z
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for /bin/compress.
226 Transfer complete.

and all I receive is an empty file README.Z .

Is this behaviour familiar to anyone? For reference, this is
my ftpconversions file:

:.Z: : :/bin/compress -c -d %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:UNCOMPRESS
: : :.Z:/bin/compress -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:COMPRESS
:.gz: : :/bin/gzip -c -d %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:GUNZIP
: : :.gz:/bin/gzip -9 -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:GZIP
: : :.tar:/bin/tar -c -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_TAR:TAR
: : :.tar.Z:/bin/tar -c -Z -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+COMPRESS
: : :.tar.gz:/bin/tar -c -z -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+GZIP

Howdy,
I have spent all afternoon trying to get this to work, including
finally upgrading from 2.1(c) to 2.4 (SunOS 4.1.x). I am trying to add a
conversion command (if you must know (it is ugly) to convert CAP aufs files
to Apple-Single on the fly). (I hope this is not a FAQ...)

>From ftpaccess:

#compress yes local remote
#tar yes local remote
cvt2apple yes local remote
test yes local remote

from ~ftp/bin:

> ldd
cvt2apple: statically linked
test: statically linked

from ftpconversions:

:.sig: : :/bin/cvt2apple %s -:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:APPLE-SINGLE
:.bog: : :/bin/test %s -:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:TEST

(does not work with T_BIN either...)

what test actually does:

> ../bin/test arg1 arg2
fin is arg1 and fout is arg2

what orig test.bog contains:

> more ../pub/lentz/mac/swtest/test.bog
mumbo jumbo...

what happens if I try to get test.bog:

get test.bog
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for test.bog (15 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
local: test.bog remote: test.bog
15 bytes received in 0.049 seconds (0.3 Kbytes/s)
ftp>

what downloaded test.bog then contains:

> more test.bog
mumbo jumbo...

So, what am I missing?

Thanks,
-Robert

I have set up wu-ftpd 2.4 on a SCO ODT 3.0 box and almost everything works
fine.

Then only problem I have is the ftpconversions - I seem to lack some
doc, or I'm more ignorant than the average geek (quite possible ;-))

The man page for ftpconversions doesn't describe the options in field
6 and 7 and I cannot figure out what they're for :-(.

Second I have problems getting ftpconversions to work at all :-( I grabbed
the ftpconversions file from doc/examples of the distribution and as far as
I can figure out it serves my purposes quite fine so I shouldn't need to
change it. When I do a dir i get the following result:

ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.

226 Transfer complete.

then when I do a

ftp> get test1.tar

I get the following result:

local: test1.tar remote: test1.tar
200 PORT command successful.
550 test1.tar: No such file OR directory.

If I cd to test1 and do a get a.gz it seems to work fine since the response
is:

ftp> get a.gz
local: a.gz remote: a.gz
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for /bin/gzip.
226 Transfer complete.
286 bytes received in 0.78 seconds (0.36 Kbytes/s)

When I do a get x.tar I get an error saying:

ftp> get x.tar
local: x.tar remote: x.tar
200 PORT command successful.
550 x.tar: No such file OR directory.

Obviously I'm missing something here - but I cannot figure out what -
can somebody help.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your message.

I have the following settings in ftpaccess, /etc/group and /etc/passwd
files:

ftpguest:x:30001:556:Restricted Ftp:/opt/ftp/./private/larry:/etc/ftponly

ggroup::556:

guestgroup ggroup
guestserver athena.nchgr.nih.gov

However, when I login to the server and after I type in the login name,
immediately I get a loin denied message.

If I took the 'ggroup' out from guestgroup, I can finish a normal login.
But I can 'cd' to parent directories.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a way to get hold of the domain/machine name of an anonymous
ftp user in wu-ftpd?? I know it's there because some sites running
wu-ftpd scold you if your email name's domain doesn't match it`s
already 'fingered' domain. Also, is there a way to execute a script
after someone places a file into your system with anonymous ftp?? I am
setting up an automated customer file depository and would like to key
off their name to figure out who they are, and then move their file to
their respective area. Thanks.

I think the guestgroup facility in wu-ftpd 2.4 is ideal for your
requirement. Refer to the docs for more information.
Hope this helps!

Hi,

I am running wu-ftp version 2.4 on a Sun Sparc
running SunOS 4.1.2. I have set up an anonymous
ftp account and area. Everything is working fine
except for one thing:

-- when I ftp into the SUN as "anonymous", and
do an "ls -l" command I get:

ftp> ls -ltr
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete.
ftp>

Nothing shows up. When I do a normal "ls" everything is
OK:

ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
bin
etc
pub
dev
usr
226 Transfer complete.
25 bytes received in 0.002 seconds (12 Kbytes/s)
ftp>

This does not happen when I use accounts which are not
anonymous. The "ls -l" works fine.

Any ideas ??

Hmmmm, do you have a statically linked version of ls in ~ftp/bin? If yes,
what ls is it? I'd recommend using GNU ls.

Hello,
I have installed wu-ftpd on a SUN Sparc2 with SunOS 4.1.3 and I've got this problem:

In /etc/inetd.conf of hostX there is the line:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/ftpd ftpd -l -t600 -T900 -a

When I run "ftp hostX" I get the message:

ld.so: warning: /usr/lib/libc.so.1.8 has older revision than expected 9

and it doesn't connect hostX, I cannot do "open hostX" either.

So I made a copy of /usr/lib/libc.so.1.8 to /usr/lib/libc.so.1.9
but I get the same message

If I make "telnet hostX 21", ftp works although I get the same warning message:

ld.so: warning: /usr/lib/libc.so.1.8 has older revision than expected 9
220 www1 FTP server (Version wu-2.4(3) Tue Aug 23 18:48:37 MET DST 1994) ready.

Any idea of what is going wrong and which is the solution?

Thanks in advance for any answer

Susana

I recently installed the server and all works fine except for one
little problem - when a 'real' user, eg one with an account on the
server system, tries to ftp they get 'access denied'. Outside users
(anonymous users) have no problem.

I've got it installed on a Risc System 6000 running AIX 3.2.5. I have
checked and the users are not listed in /etc/ftpusers, I have a class
defined in the config file, but I figure I have done something wrong or
forgotten to do something. Any ideas or suggestions?

By the way, the system does not have a file /etc/shells. I created one,
but am not sure of the format. But I figured if this was the problem
even the anonymous users would not get in.

Thanx fer any help,

Bill Detschel

Sorry if this is an old problem, but I have just encountered it. The situation:
I have installed wu-ftpd 2.4 on a Sun with SunOS 4.1.3 and have set up the
ftpaccess file with the following passwd-check line:

passwd-check rfc822 enforce

When I ftp to the site, I find that I can input my login id with an @ symbol as
the password and the system allows me in. I thought that the password would be
required to be the userid@hostname. Have I done something wrong?

Thanks for any help in advance.

I've encountered a similar problem on a sun (4.1) after installing
the shadow password system and tcpd wrappers. I assume, in my case
anyway, that has something to do with it. If anyone has come across
this before and have any pointers, I would be most grateful. BTW,
it's all been working fine for a couple of months before.

Hi,

I have had a similar problem with AIX. A '/etc/shells' has solved the
problem with real user access. Here is mine:
/bin/sh
/bin/bsh
/bin/csh
/bin/ksh
/bin/tsh
/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/bsh
/usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/tsh
/usr/mbin/sh
/usr/mbin/bsh
/usr/mbin/csh
/usr/mbin/ksh
/usr/mbin/tsh
/usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/tcsh

Hope this helps
Dieter

Well ... as far as i know... that's a shortcut for your password entry. At my site we have the same "feature" and i know of several sites which allow this action. So i don't think that you have to worry about.

I think that as the servers know each other who is trying to connect to it, the guys that developed the wuftpd software tried to make life for ftp-users easier making this shortcut.

I hope this helps

Luis

Common problem on AIX. The lack of /etc/shells will not inhibit anonymous
logins. You can create an /etc/shells or you can get my patch to wu-ftpd
that makes it get the valid shells the AIX way. My patch can be found at:

Besides, you can put whatever you want as a passwd, so it is not such a
security feature. I personally quite like to know the name of who
access my ftp site, but I found convenient just to write "mau@"
to present myself - my node name is already secured on the logfile. If
I am connecting from a guest node, I write my complete eaddress.

But as I wrote, it's all question of netiquette.

mau.

Don't believe I've seen this one answered yet. ftpd is
installed on a Solaris 2.3 system. Users from hp and
SCO systems can connect and transfer files using ftp.
ls fails when connected from these systems, but works
when the same users connect from Sun OS or Solaris 2.3
systems.

Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

The wu-ftpd code uses the macro MAXHOSTNAMELEN as the maximum length for
various internal strings:

- the remote hostname
- the guest password
- the password for real users

On some systems, the expansion of this macro gives a very small value:

- On AIX: 32
- On Linux: 8

Consequently, all hostnames written too the log file are truncated.

The following patch gets around the problem:

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

#endif
mode_t defumask = CMASK; /* default umask value */
char tmpline[7];

Figured out the answer to my question "why does ls work on
Sun systems but not on HP or SCO". The ftp client on Sun
systems converts ls to the NLST command, but HP systems
convert ls to LIST. (Didn't check it on SCO) When LIST is
used by the client, I get into the old familiar 'dynamic link'
problem which has as yet been unresolved on my system.

I've just got 2.4 up on a Sun 4.1.3 system, and anonymous ftp
works fine. However, real users and guest users aren't allowed
in. wuftpd will drop them as soon as they finish there username, and
before they type their password.

Also, is there some more information on setting up guest users? The man
page on ftpaccess is rather sparse.

Thanks in advance -

Hi there!

I have the same system running but I have not had that problem. However for the
class entries I have the following:
class local real,guest,anonymous *.gsfc.nasa.gov
class remote real,guest,anonymous *
class anon anonymous *
I don't know if that would be at all helpful since I can't see why yours doesn't
work. I suppose you did put everything where it belongs, yes? It is not clear to
me that anything else would make a difference. But then, I am only a novice at
this.

My question concerns the README* files -- specifically, how do they differ from
message and how do I set them up?

Thank you anyone for any responses.

> My question concerns the README* files...

The * there is just a wildcard character. So that for any file
beginning README, wu-ftpd will put a message "please read the
file ... ". You may want different files that ftp'ers should
read, e.g. README, README-NEWS, README-downloading, etc.

I think the config file allows any filename pattern to trigger
the "please read" message, "README" is the conventionak one.

Aha! Thank you. For some reason I must have missed any explanation about
that and about `triggering' messages in general. :)

Dear netters,

Thanks in advance

I can't seem to get the ftpaccess file to work with two autogroups.

I have the groups defined in /etc/group and the classes in the ftpaccess
file but it only allows the first one to work.

Is this design or am I doing something wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
