Is there a way I can allow users to use mkdir in my /incoming directory
and upload to any subdirectory under /incoming but not to /incoming
itself?

Our users sometimes send us data that they have problems with and I
want to prevent them from just littering the /incoming directory.
I want them to create a subdirectory and put their files there.

I have it set up now to ask them to do this via a .message, but I'd
like to enforce it.

A week ago I took another look at this and found one of the problems.
The accept() call in ftpd.c:dataconn() was blocking. My theory about
this is that the server was in passive mode and then asked to use the
data channel, but then the client never connected. I have patched
this by putting a select() with a five minute timeout before the
accept().

In checking this out, I also noticed that ftpd.c:passive() leaks file
descriptors by not checking if it already has a passive socket open.
It will now close this socket.

This has not completely fixed the problem. I checked our server to see
how many old ftpds it has on it, and there are far fewer, but still
about a half score in the past week (most attributable to one
site). It appears they are all hung in a read(), all but one during
STOR. I have not yet examined the code to see why it might be
happening or how to avoid it.

I built wu-ftp version 2.4 on a SPARC running 5.2 (Solaris 2.2)
and I am having trouble using the ls command.

From a client ftp the commands ls -C, dir, ls -l all work correctly
the problem is the using just "ls" does not display correctly

FOR example:
USING ls

ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.

n
r
c
b
rofile
v
226 Transfer complete.
27 bytes received in 0.009 seconds (2.9 Kbytes/s)

WHILE ls -l works correctly

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

Sorry to repeat my meassge but my Email starting bouncing not long after
I sent the original message out.

Is it possible to add new conversion routines to wu-ftpd ? I want to be
able to do automatic image format conversions when retrieving image files.
For example, I might have an SGI RGB file and want to retrieve it as a
GIF file. I want to be able to execute a command like the following:

( test is the SGI file )

GET test.gif.gz

Looking at the code quickly it appears that this is possible. WOuld like
pointers on what to do if it can be done.

All,

I am having difficulty configuring the wu-ftpd ftp server to
attain the desired results. My problems are as follows:

1) When ftp'ing in as anonymous, only the ls function works. None of
the flags are accepted, and the dir command does not work.

2) I am not having any luck with the upload directive in the
ftp access file. It seems that no matter what I put in the file
I can still upload to all the directories under ftp.

The server is currenlty running on an IBM RISC-6000, under AIX. Any
suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

Donald Servey

I do not read this list, so please email me directly:
[email protected]

I am not setting up an anonymous ftp server, but I need to be
able to automagically mirror part of someone's anonymous ftp tree.
(that's how netcom.com provides users with www service - so
essentially I want to set up a www mirror)

If you could point me at a faq, or where I can find such software,
it'd be appreciated...I don't feel like taking the week or so needed
to write my own.

My installation of wu-2.4(7) seems to ignore the upload directive
alltogether.. never have figured out why.

the upload keyword only applies to guest and anonymous users. Is this the
problem?

ps. or maybe you're not starting it with -a (enable use of the access
file), or maybe it's not reading the access file b/c it's in the wrong
place? try ckconfig to check.

Ok now, I rtfm, I checked all man pages, etc. I used ftpshut to shutdown
ftpd, and now, even after reboot, I get a "Ftp is shut down" message.

Could someone tell me more about how ftpshut functions, and how to get
ftpd back on track?

Thanks!

I am running wu-ftpd v2.4 on SunOS 4.1.3 and am having a problem
with the ftphosts file setup.

Is there a limit to the length of the line on an "allow" entry?

Everything was working fine until I added another pattern to
an existing long line, and then all ftp sessions (real and
anonymous) started to fail with a note in the messages file
that said "FTP LOGIN REFUSED (name in /usr/local/etc/ftphosts)" .

The only non-comment that I have in that file is one "allow" line
that is about 256 characters long. Did I hit some internal buffer
size limit?

Can I have multiple "allow" entries with shorter lines?

Thanks for the info. It might nice if that were somewhere in in the
ftpshit man page.... :)

All,

I have seen minimal response to my previous question regarding the
upload directive in ftpaccess. I am running wu-ftpd 2.4 on a RISC 6000 (AIX)
I can not seem to get the upload function to work at all. Is there someone
out there that has used upload and has it working correctly?

Thanks,

Donald Servey

ftpshut creates a file (/etc/shutmsg) with information in it about when the
ftpserver will go down, and a message to display. I think you have to
enable this in the ftpaccess file.

Anyway, to start ftp service back up, you have to remove /etc/shutmsg (or
whatever you have it defined as in ftpaccess)

Yes:

Drop me a line and we can discuss it, 'though I'm not sure how
much help I'll be (the server is running on a SunOS system, so
what works for me may not for you...).

ftpshut creates a file, specified by the
shutdown some_path
in ftpaccess. you need to rm that file to restore ftp services.
I added an "rm" of that file to the startup procedures on my machine
to make sure a reboot clears this.

Hi all

I need to set up my machine so it takes ftp connections TO different sites.

for example:

% ftp ftp.foo.bar (goes to sys.foo.bar)
% ftp ftp.bar.com (goes to sys.foo.bar)
% ftp ftp.foo.net (goes to sys.foo.bar)
% ftp ftp.foobarr.edu (goes to sys.foo.bar)

To make it more complicated I'd like all the different system names to
also have thier own different root directories.

Is this possible? If so whats the trick?

Any help would be appreciated

eric

I'm running ftpd with -la and it reads the file because every other
directive but upload works as it should.

I don't think that this is possible with having multiple dns names
and having one machine with the login being anonymous on that machine.
You could make it work if you had different logins like:

login foo_anon --> /foo/bar . The logins are the only thing that
matter here. The dns names are only relavent to the human. In fact,
most ftp clients display the "real" name of the machine when the dns record
is a C record, tho' they will display the dns name if one uses an A record.

Hope this helps,

All,

My directory structure looks like this..

ftphome : /home/ftp <--- this becomes root on chroot()
Owned by ftp staff
mode 777

bin: /home/ftp/bin
lib: /home/ftp/lib
etc: /home/ftp/etc

pub: /home/ftp/pub
Owned by ftp staff
mode 777

incoming: /home/ftp/pub/incoming
Owned by ftp staff
mode 777

My upload lines:

upload /home/ftp * no
upload /home/ftp /pub no
upload /home/ftp /pub/incoming yes root system 0333 nodirs

Upload disabling and enabling work. But the files get uploaded into
pub/incoming as ftp system with mode 442, not as root system with 333.
Can you change the owner and group in your upload lines, and does it work
if you do?

Thanks,

Donald Servey ([email protected])

Have you put user root in your /home/ftp/etc/passwd file?

Hi there,

You need to mv the distribution's support/ftp.h to wherever arpa.h
is supposed to reside on your machine. In my case it was
/usr/include/arpa/ftp.h My machines are Sun3's and sun4's running
SunOS 4.1.x. (This is mentioned in the installation instruction, btw.)

Good luck!

I'm getting numbers in ls -l instead of owner and group names.
I have a passwd and group file in the etc dir, as directed. :)

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Do the numbers match anything in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group?

Yup! That's why I'm baffled. And the permissions are 444 as mentioned in
the ftpd man page.

Have you set the Makro SETPROCTITLE in `config.h' in your 'root'-src directory?
If not ftpwho and ftpcount won't work. See the manpage for ftpwho.

Hi there,

I'm setting up wu-ftpd 2.4 on a Solaris 2.3 box. It compiled flawlessly
w/ gcc 2.6.3.

So far, everything works fine, except for one thing: it keeps thinking it
has -1 ftp users (as shown by %N), regardless of how many are on. ftpcount
and ftpwho claim there are constantly 0 users. There is no difference
between real and anonymous.

Allowing unlimited ftp users is not exactly what we want. :) Any ideas on
what might be going on here? My apologies if I'm missing something
obvious, but I've already checked the wu-ftpd docs and a couple of FAQs
and came up empty.

Thanks,

--Markus

Hello,
is anybody running wu-ftpd on RS/6000-AIX-3.2.5? I have wu-ftpd 2.4
running on rsrz02.hrz.uni-marburg.de and as far as I see, the groupid's
are not set correctly. When I ftp-login with any username/password my
effective groupid is 0. I can't access the directories of my group,
when I "put" a file in my directory it gets grouid 0 . Autogroup and upload
for anonymous users don't work either (~ftp/etc/passwd and group exist).
class, deny, limit, loginfails, log ... work fine. Could somebody give we
a hint?

Turned out /usr/local/daemon/ftpd was missing. :( I thought it was
something obvious. Anyway, thanks for your assistance.

I compiled with the defaults. SETPROCTITLE is defined in src/config.h.
Anything else I could check?

The following diff does it for me: initgroups needs to be called
before setegid. Actually, I think that this should be done for all
architectures.

diff -c -r1.1 -r1.2
*** 1.1 1994/07/19 10:23:42
--- 1.2 1994/07/22 14:07:10

login_attempts = 0; /* this time successful */

(void) sprintf(ttyline, "ftp%d", getpid());

Hope that helps

All,

I am running wu-ftpd 2.4 on a RISC 6000 under AIX. I have noticed that
the ftpd program is doing time in GMT. Is there any way to get it to do
time in EST? The date command shows the correct time, as does all the other
logging that the system does. It seems to be a problem with the wu-ftpd or
the way I have it configured. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Donald Servey ([email protected])

Hi, I'm new to this list, so forgive me if this has been asked previously...

I just recently installed a Linux system and have been having problems with
ftp from it, so I picked up a copy of wu-ftpd 2.4 and tried to compile it.
I saw in the INSTALL file that I should expect some warnings and not to
worry about it, so I didn't. However, I can't complete compiling it because
it goes beyond warnings and gives me an error. Here's what I get:

<numerous warnings about parsing errors with ip.h>

ftpd.c:153: conflicting types for 'data'
/usr/include/linux/ip.h:49: previous declaration of 'data'
make: *** [ftpd.o] Error 1

And of course, it doesn't build the ftpd executable.
I'm running Linux v1.1.67

Can anyone help me out with this? I thought I would ask before I went
around playing with the code and possibly creating more problems.
I'm sure there will be an easy fix for this....
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

The linker is looking for the file /lib/libgcc.a, and you must not have it or
it is under a different name. Try /lib/libgnu.a or /lib/gnulib.a; if one of
these is there make a link to it in /lib called 'libgcc.a'.

Home this helps... if not, when asking for additional help send the contents
of /lib (or wherever the linker looks for its link libraries).

I have a case where i ftp a file (mode 644) to another machine
where it's mode is then 666. The mode needs to be 644. It's not
a umask problem, as my umask is set to 022 on both machines.

Anyone have a clue what causes this?

Please reply to me directly as I've not yet joined the list.

thanks muchly,

I'm having a problem with people not being able to
access the server through firewalls.

I turned of RFC311 authentication, but I'm wondering if
there isn't something else I will need to do.

Greetings.

I have re-compiled the FTP Server to turn off RFC 1431 (RFC 931)
compatibility, as a note in my distribution stated that this may cause
some connections to hang.

In this process, I looked through the source code. It looks to me
as if the security features of "authenticate" are only used with
Kerberos. If this is the case, are there any other security features or
other options that may be turned off to lessen the length of server
to client dialog on login.

What are the performance implications of guestgrouping a large
number of users? (are there any?)

Sincerely,
Thomas Leavitt

Hi Ken, Hi All,

It's some time ago when I last tried compiling WU-FTPD on Linux
(but I will soon have to do it again!). If I remember correctly
I changed the bsd.h include line to

#include "/usr/include/bsd/bsd.h"

The other thing to remember is to use pmake (which is more a BSD make)
and not GNU make. And I believe that was sufficient. So you could
start with this info and see how it goes. Please let me know how it
went!

I got a copy of wu-ftpd from wuarchive, but didn't see any documentation.
Where can I get an FAQ or documentation for wu-ftpd?

Also, is there a way to mount a disk and somehow link directories into the ftp
directory structure? Now if I mount a disk to "/disk1" and symbolic link
directory "newdir" as "/pub/newdir" I get strange results when I change
directories. If I do "cd /pub/newdir; cd .." I end up in "/" rather than in
"/pub".

I cludgy-fixed it by using NFS to localhost to force it, but would rather find
another way.

Thanks. I tried both of those and it didn't seem to make a bit of
difference. :(
I looked and the make that is generated already uses a
-I/usr/include/bsd so the first part shouldn't even be necessary.
*shrug*

Oh well, back to the drawing board....

I am trying to set up permissions on my incoming directory and don't know
how to make it do what I want or if it's even possible.

1. I want anonymous users to be able to create a directory in
/incoming but not upload files to /incoming directly.

2. I'd like for anything uploaded to have permissions such that
I can read the file locally but I don't want other anonymous
ftp users to be able to read them.

Is it possible to configure wu-ftpd so that it doesn't need any TCP
ports above 1023? I want to keep all those shut off at my router.

There's a modified ftp CLIENT that doesn't need ports > 1023 on
cisco's ftp server, but I want to do it ay my end.

Dan,

I did it the other way. I mounted the disk to /ftp/pub and make a link to
/disk1, which I use when logged in locally.

The best thing to do it to download wu-ftpd from a linux site
(sunsite.unc.edu or tsx-11.mit.edu). They have a version which compiles on
linux.

I am search for a ftp daemon which can limit a connection to a certain
length of time per day. Does anyone want to take on the challange of
modifying wu-ftpd to add this capability ? I was hoping to be able to do it
myself but looking at the source code, I don't think I can do it.

Create several different ftpaccess files, with appropiate limits you want
in each. Then write a simple shell script to copy the one you want over,
and cron it for the specified time.

Dunno what happens to connections on at time of switch. Like, if you have
48 people on at 7:59a and lower it to 20 at 8:00a, I assume the 48 will
be on until they disconnect...

errr...that's what I DID download...that's what I've been trying to compile,
but it doesn't seem to work for me. :(

That's why I thought it might be something really obvious I was missing....

I have a couple of PCs running PCNFS 4.0 that are trying to ftp to a host
running the WU 2.4 ftpd.

I can login and give the password and it accepts it ok. But when I try to do
a dir, it gives me an error back saying that the user has to put in a password.
It doesn't matter what the ID is root, anon, or any other user name on that
server.

I can ftp in from another SUN seat and from Novell's LWP without a problem.

This PC can ftp without a problem to any SUN host running SUN's ftpd ok.

Any ideas?

TIA

I wrote a couple little shell scripts to handle this, rather than have
different versions of "ftpaccess" sitting around.

At 6pm every night, we open up to 75 connections. So, through cron,
at 6pm, I run the following script:

#!/bin/sh
ftpaccess="/usr/spool/ftp/ftpd/ftpaccess"
sed -e 's/world ../world 75/'< $ftpaccess > /tmp/.click$$
mv /tmp/.click$$ $ftpaccess
echo "Accepting 75 anonymous users at `date`" >> /var/adm/cronlog

This changes the "world" class (in which all of our anonymous traffic
goes through) to 75 users. Then, at 715am every morning, we back it
down to 35, through another script that changes it back. I call
these scripts "allow45", "allow75", etc., and the calling line in the
crontab looks like:

15 7 * * 1-5 /usr/spool/ftp/ftpd/allow45 /* 45 users at 7:15a daily */
0 18 * * 1-5 /usr/spool/ftp/ftpd/allow75 /* 75 users at 6pm daily */

Note these are SunOS crontabs. Your format may/will differ.

There's no doubt several different (and more elegant) ways to
accomplish this...this does work for me, though.

When I replaced ftpd with wu-ftpd on my HPUX 9.04 system none of
our PC clients using Wollongong's Pathways TCP/IP software could ftp in.
The connection to the host is reported but the initial 220 message does not
display, and the connection hangs. Only the PCs are stuck, everyone else
gets in fine.
Previously we had to change the HPUX socket buffer size down from
56K to 32K to fix what may have been the same problem with the HPUX ftpd.
Has anyone seen a similar problem? Thanks...

Perhaps I was not clear enough. It's been a long week. So let's try again.

What I want is to limit a particular user's connection to say 30 minutes per
day. It would be the same as an idle limit except it would count from the
time they logged in. The Novell ftp server has this feature. As the server
is keeping track of time anyway, because it knows to log you out after a
certain idle time, I don't think it would be that hard to add this feature
(famous last words).

The easy part (???) is to log them out after x number of minutes. What is
probably trickier is to stop them from logging right back in again.

Isn't somebody looking for a project for the Christmas break ?

when they login. The dash tells wu-ftpd to turn off the continuation
messages that may confuse some ftp clients.

Thanks, but that is not the problem, as in fact it does not get
to the login/password prompts. It hangs before the initial 220 message
which, for non-PC users, gives the hostname and wuftp version message.

I have noticed that even after applying the patch to version 2.4 , many
hangups happen. They are ususally during a "/bin/ls -la", so the system is
clogged by these too.

Any workaround? I tried a script to kill old connections' processes, but
it ended up forking indefinitely :-)

Hi there,

I had a problem with PC's and wuftpd also. I have a HP735 with HPUX 9.01.
The problem in my case was that in 'src/authenticate.h' RFC1413 (RFC931)
support was enabled. I changed it and reinstalled. Then it worked.

I hope this helps.

Paul

How do I setup wlcome messages for users logging on and how do I setup
description messages in the directories they change into.

I am running wu-ftpd-2.4 on a SPARC 10, SunOS 4.1.3

We have a customer in Holland with a dial-up PPP connection who can connect
and log in, but hangs when they start to transfer a file. Might this be
related?

Look at the 'message' directive in doc/ftpaccess.5, see an example in

I've been trying to use the remote commands, to no avail. I keep
getting messages like:

ftp> remote user
214 Syntax: USER <sp> username
ftp>

What am I supposed to enter in place of <sp>? Clearly it doesn't mean
sapce...

And in particular, I've been trying to use the remote site commands,
group and gpass, with the same problem. If anyone could provide
specific help, beyond what I've already read in the man pages, I would
appreciate it.

Also, are there any documents which fill in the gaps the man pages
leave?

P.S. This ftpd is running on a RX/6000, under AIX.

I'm looking for any advice you have on Ftp users before I create one (I
don't want to inadvertantly create any security holes). Essentially, i
want to give an ftp account that allows a user to be the Ftp Maintainer
of a certain directory.

Any hints or tips before i go at it? :)

Thanks,

I'm experiencing a wierd problem, running under AIX.

If I login to our ftp server under my username, with password, and log
to a directory of which I'm a member of the group, I can't upload
files to that directory or create directories in it, even though my
account has full permissions, and I can do so from a shell account.

Here is the directory entry:

drwxrwxr-x 12 ftp ftpadmin 512 Dec 1 12:13 cadence

I'm a member of ftpadmin, though it's not the group set as default in
my /etc/passwd entry.

The error message I recieve is:

ftp> send welcome.msg
200 PORT command successful.
553 welcome.msg: Permission denied.
ftp>

Is there any way to get ftpd to recognize my membership in multiple
groups, or am I stuck with only the rights associated with my default
group, as defined in /etc/passwd ?

Hello all,

I am having a terrible time with 2.4, on a 4.1.3 system. Below are the
problems that I have been having, has anyone else been experiencing this
as well. I am using the latest version of gcc, so I don't think there is
a problem there.

1. I got the package from wu and set it up to compile, only I got the
error message NGROUPS_MAX undefined, in ftpcmd.y (when trying to compile). I
checked the include lib. dir. and found that NGROUPS_MAX is defined in the
file limits.h. I adjusted the file to point to limits.h and recompiled.
It compiles fine, no errors, then did an install which also goes ok.
Only thing is it wont work. keeps responding server shutdown.

2. I recompile the package with a define NGROUPS_MAX = 16 (as in the
limits.h file). It compiles without errors. I install the package and
it works twice, but then is back to the same message server shutdown,
and will not start again (it has only worked this one time).

I have tried the two steps above a couple of times, but have not been to
get it to work again.

Anyone got any ideas???

Good question - I'm looking at this right now myself. To the maillist, please
post your responses to the entire list, as I suspect several of us could use
this.

Check the /etc/ftpaccess file for the 'shutdown' line and check for the
existence of that file - if it exists, remove it. Hope it helps...

Here we would like have a configuration which would allow a group of
researchers to enter a user name other than ftp or anonymous and be
placed in a certain directory which could be maintained by a project
leader. Is it possible? advisable?
Also, did someone respond to the request for a faq or documentation?

I'm having problems compiling wu-ftpd-2.4 for an SGI Indigo 2 running
IRIX 5.3. I type 'build sgi', but get the following errors:

did you make sure you were building it with 'cc -cckr'??

i had to change the sgi config file to add "#define NCARGS 10240"
as well.

OK, so where do I find ncftp?

And why is the operation of the remote commands so confusing? To see
the list, I need to use the command "remote", but to access any of
them, I replace "remote" with "quote". Is there a reason behind that
that will help me understand things?

Try using:
ftp> quote site group <group>
ftp> quote site gpass <passwd>

also look into ncftp a really neat ftp client.

I still can't get the welcome message to appear.
I read the manpages and the doc/ftpaccess.5. I also setup the following ftpaccess
file in my /APPS/wu--ftpd-2.4/etc

class all real,guest,anonymous *

limit all 10 Any /etc/msgs/msg.dead

readme README* login
readme README* cwd=*

message ~ftp/welcome.msg login
message .message cwd=*

compress yes local remote
tar yes local remote

log commands real
log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound

shutdown /etc/shutmsg

email user@hostname

Somehow I don't think FTPD knows where to find the ftpaccess file.

Hi,

A couple of weeks ago I set up an anon. ftp-server here, but it's not
filled in yet. However, I just wanted to check it out, to see if
everything still works, and it doesn't??!!

Last time I used it, it worked flawless, and now I can't give any
commands as anonymous user. I clueless of what the cause is. I haven't
changed anything AFAIK.

It just gives: Server shutting down. Goodbye
on every command. This is very annoying, since it will be used in a
couple of weeks.

Does anybody have a clue of what's going on?

wu-ftpd 2.4, Solaris 2.3 and I can sent config-files and
directory-structure if needed.

Also, I have 'log commands real' in ftpaccess, but it doesn't. What's
causing this? Where is it supposed to log *to* ? also to xferlog? Or to
syslog? What kind of entry do I need in my syslog.conf to let it log to
/var/log/ftp if it uses syslog?

Lotta questions, but I hope some-one can help me with this.

Hi folks,

Ive setup an anonymous login and I need to allow people logged in anonymously
to run tar and compress. Is this possible? How do I do it?

I have looked at ftpconversions but I havent got very far there...the manual
page is a bit sparse.

Thanks,

Derek

You are describing a guest account. You can get some idea of this from
the various documentation supplied with the wu-ftpd distribution. Um...
I think ftpaccess has some info... Anyway try the various man pages,
like for ftpd itself and for ftpaccess. I set one up a while ago and
it worked fine as far as I could tell. It's done along the same lines
as for anonymous ftp account. If you would like I will try to find my
notes for this, but not before next week as I'm kind of in hectic mode
this week.

Good luck,

PCVS

Check the existence of the 'shutdown' message file given in ftpaccess (file
name shutmsg?) - if that file exists, remove it. I had this trouble early on
- the file is created by 'ftpshut'.

Greetings:

As promised, I am very close to unveiling a searchable archive of the Wu-ftpd

With regard to command logging, in your syslog.conf you need to
specify where you want it to go. In my case I did the following --

daemin.info /var/log/daemon.info

and now all the coomands are logged in /var/log/daemon.info.

Hope this helps, sorry I can't speak to the rest of your questions.

Hmmm... sounds like ftpshut has been run. After that, you'll have to
remove /etc/shutmsg manually to get the server back up. If that's not
the problem, running ckconfig and checking /var/adm/messages did help
me a lot in tracking down configuration quirks.

I'm running wu-ftpd 2.4 on a Solaris 2.3 box, too. Check again that
*everything* is configured as in the install docs. No configuration
changes were necessary for me to get the server up and running.

AFAIK, if you do you that, also the passwords of real accounts will be
logged. Are you sure you want to do this?

dameon.info /var/log/ftp

Hi guys.

I've been trying to install an anonymous FTP server for a couple of
days now, and I've tried everything from the basic ftpd daemon to wu-ftpd.
They work for non-anonymous ftp perfectly, but when trying out either
'anonymous' or 'ftp', I get "550 Can't set uid" right after asking me
for my guest id.

Where's the problem, and how can I fix it?

- Jerry

A couple of recent inquiries to this list regarding guest access prompted me
to finish a project along those lines that I had thought to do for some time
as part of administering an inhouse-only anonymous ftp server. I wanted to
have a directory tree available to all anonymous ftp users, but with
individual directory maintenance done by designated persons with a real ftp
login that was limited in access to that one subbranch of the tree. The
anonymous users could then still only upload to 'incoming', but they could
read the whole subtree, and maintenance of specific subtrees could be farmed
out to various departments. This is how I did it. It almost worked, and I
don't understand why it didn't work. (FYI my OS is LynxOS, a realtime unix
implementation.) I know this will take a bit of time to understand - thanks
in advance for your patience.

/etc/ftpaccess is as follows (generally very close to ftpaccess.heavy):

class local real, guest, anonymous xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
. . .
path-filter guest /etc/pathmsg ^[-A-Za-z0-9_\.]*$ ^\. ^-
. . .
guestgroup clients

/etc/group file has these groups defined:

anon::300:ftp # for anonymous ftp
clients::400:client1,client2 # for tree maintenance

/etc/passwd has these entries:

ftp::3:300::/Public/ftp:/bin/sh # for anonymous ftp
client1:<pwd>:1:400::/Public/ftp/pub/./win3:/bin/sh # for windows maint
client2:<pwd>:2:400::/Public/ftp/pub/./unix:/bin/sh # for unix maint

The anonymous user logs into /Public/ftp as root and can access the contents
of the win3 and unix subdirectories. The win3 and unix directories are owned
as follows:

Owner: Group: Directory:
drwxr-xr-x client1 clients win3
drwxr-xr-x client2 clients unix

client1 _should_ be able to ftp to .../win3 as root and can do full
maintenance to the directory, renaming deleting and uploading files as needed.
client2 _should_ be able to do the same to the .../unix directory. However,
with guestgroup set as clients, nothing in the directory is visible, though
there are files there that are fully owned with mode 664 by the accessing
client. Upload is possible (with upload provisions allowed by ftpaccess), but
the files disappear and cannot be seen.

As I understand guestgroup this should work. If I change guestgroup to some
group other than clients, then client1 and client2 can access the directory
and see all the files, but they can also walk back up the tree, which I don't
want them to be able to do. So, things are close but not there; if someone
has an idea why I certainly appreciate the help.

We have a major problem with ftp processes just hanging. ftpwho shows
people still in RETR, even though they've been on over 24 hours.

The number of ftp users keeps going up and up as a certain percentage
that start up never die.

Anyone have any ideas on what to check?

Check the output of "netstat -a" to see actually what those processes
are waiting for (e.g., how many are established vs. "CLOSING" and
"TIME_WAIT").

It's also not a bad idea to put the -T/-t combo of timeout flags on
the ftpd call in inet.conf.

Hi all!

I am using Solaris 2.4 on an i486-machine.
Earlier I have been using the standard in.ftpd, and with that the anonymous
ftp worked fine. But when I tried to upgrade to wu-ftpd, it won't work.
The ftp-client sends username and password, and then it just hangs.
No messages, nothing, although I am able to change directories and such,
so I guess it doesn't really hang...
I then tried to telnet to port 21, and this is what happened:

Connected to nic.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 nic FTP server (UNIX(r) System V Release 4.0) ready.
USER ftp
331 Guest login ok, send ident as password.
PASS asdf@qwerty
230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
CWD pub
250 CWD command successful.
LIST
425 Can't build data connection: Connection refused.
QUIT
221 Goodbye.
Connection closed by foreign host.

-----------
What's this with message 425? Do I have some wrong access-rights to some
files? I have the special files zero, tcp, udp and ticotsord in ~ftp/dev.
They worked fine for the other ftpd.

Dear Mr. Jortner,

I'd be glad to simply know how it's possible to use the standard
conversions for the wuftpd server. If you could send me a sample ftpconversions
file that works or any clue about the reason why it doesn't work at all, it
would be very helpful.

Thank you very much in advance,

Hi all,
I just installed wu-ftpd 2.4 on another SUN running Solaris 2.3.
I made the same configuration as on a system where it's already running properly.
I double checked it. The Anonymous FTP works quite well, whereas the real
user login leads to:
530 User fred access denied...
Login failed.
whenever you enter a real user-id.
Does anybody has a hint on that error message number or on the nature of the
problem ?
Thanks in advance, Stefan.

Well, here's what sucks. The undead ftps don't even show up in netstat.

I applied a patch passed on to me by another person on this list, but it
didn't seem to help.

It may be that you need to create a /etc/shells listing all
valid shells that are on your system. I had that problem on the
second machine I installed wu-ftpd-2.4 on. (See note 5 in the
Installation Notes -- INSTALL).

Hope this helps,

I can't get welcome messages to be displayed at login time.
I read the man pages and docs for ftpaccess, however I am still
having problems getting the thing to work.

I have a ftpacces file in my /etc directory.
The file is a copy of the one from the examples directory.
The only line I changed was:

message ~ftp/welcome.msg login

the files ftpd and in.ftpd are in /bin

I am running on a SPARC 10 SunOS4.1.3.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If the user's shell isn't '/bin/sh' or '/bin/csh' then it needs to be
in /etc/shells. (Check the SYSLOG (Or where ever your sessions are
logged) to see why the user was denied to see if they mentioned
'bad shell', or something like that)

Hope this helps,

try specifying the file-name relative to the ftp-home dir, ie. welcome.msg
remember, anonymous ftp causes a chroot.

These are defined in the ftpaccess file, or perhaps /etc/ftpusers. look
for user "fred" in the ftpusers file, and double check the deny commands
in ftpaccess.

Perhaps he is also using Shadow Passwords on his system but hasnt compiled
in SHADOW support. That looks very similiar.

I ran into the same problem. There is a file that holds the legal
user shells, called /etc/shells. If the users are set up like
the default users under Solaris 2.3, they use /sbin/sh, which is not
in the default /etc/shells file. I think if you add that entry to
the file your problem will go away.

Regards,

Bob

Make sure that ALL of the user's shells are listed in the "shells" file for
ftpd. I had this problem when I switched some users to bash. They couldn't
log in once they put in their real username on FTP.

After working with this a while I finally came up with the answer in my sleep
last night. It seems so obvious in retrospect...

When the guest user logs in, a chroot() is done to the appropriate
subdirectory - since that is the new root, there are no longer any executables
in the path, so ls could not be executed to show the contents of the
directory. I fixed this the only way I know how - I put a bin directory with
ls in it in the guest ftp login directory, protection 555 on bin and 111 on ls
so it can't be modified. That fixed the problem. I don't like having to copy
ls multiple times, but I don't know any other way around the problem. I may
play with links and see if that works.

I hope this has been useful to someone else...

I tried it and it still doesn't work.

Why would I also have to put the ftpaccess file in usr/local/etc.

Hard links will work. Soft (or symbolic) links will not.
Hard links indicate inode numbers directly. Soft links supply different
translations for path components.

Symbolic links must be relative (i.e. not starting with a / if they are
to work both in and out of the chroot environment. Think about the
meaning of an absolute (i.e. beginning with a /) link in both environments.
To work properly a symbolic link must not attempt to escape the chroot
environment.

One way around this that works is to make directories in the root
file system that are symlinks to the ftp file system. For instance,
we have our ftp stuff under the /ftp directory (original huh?). Then
I have linked 'ln -s /ftp/pub /pub' so that a symlink under anon-ftp
will resolve properly when running on the normal system. I find this
a lot easier than trying to figure out relative path names on our
system where there are multiple file systems under the /ftp directory
which precludes using hard links.

I agree that this works. It works because the /ftp/pub directory is in
the ftp area. But, I can give you a case where your absolute link will
fail:

(This mode is easy to do for some UNIX variants that have
a maintenance mode that is resident in either the swap area
or on some other device than the normal boot partition):

On SGIs, for example, in miniroot mode, the normal root filesystem
is mounted on /root and resides in what is normally the boot
disks' swap partition. That absolute soft link would attempt
to link to a directory in the miniroot system.

I find it easiest to make relative symbolic links correctly
by changing current working directory to the directory to the
directory where the symbolic link is to be made, and making the
symbolic link there:

cd /
ln -s ftp/pub pub

(I remember the argument as be the same as if I were moving the
directory to a new location. This is reasonable because on most
systems, cp, ln, and mv are the same executable.)

Notice that neither argument has a leading /.

Sometimes, .. components are needed (a made-up example):

cd /usr
ln -s ../var/share/man man

I never have been able to get tar.gz to work.. one or the other works but
not both together...

I still haven't been able to get my wuftpd 2.4(7) on linux to follow the
"upload" directive in ftpaccess either.. sigh..

Here's a potential contribution towards the FAQ, and some code too. What I
think happens is this:

The "SETPROCTITLE" code destroys the environment, including the PATH,
which makes it hard to find other programs, unless they're in "/bin" which
seems to be searched by default on the machines I've dealt with. This
causes "tar" to fail in it's attempt to exec "gzip" or whatever. Now, I
like the "SETPROCTITLE" code, so I added a little snippet of code to set up
a little mini-Environment with a PATH, which gets inherited by "tar", which
enables it to find other programs, as long as they're in the path.

This is my *rough* code, with a compiled-in PATH that works for me, and a
command to change it on the fly. You probably want to edit this:

*** ftpd.c.ORIG Wed Apr 13 16:17:18 1994
--- newftpd.c Mon Dec 19 09:34:03 1994
***************
*** 252,257 ****
--- 252,263 ----
char ls_short[50];
struct aclmember *entry = NULL;

+ /*wls:*/
+ char *Environ[2];
+ char Path[] = "PATH=/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin:/usr/local/gnu/bin:";
+ char env_path[256];
+ extern char **environ;
+
main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
{
int addrlen,
***************
*** 507,512 ****
--- 513,529 ----
exit(0);
}
show_banner(220);
+
+ /*wls:*/
+ entry = (struct aclmember *) NULL;
+ if (getaclentry("execpath", &entry) && ARG0 && strlen(ARG0) > 0) {
+ strcpy(env_path, ARG0);
+ } else {
+ strcpy(env_path, Path);
+ }
+ Environ[0] = env_path;
+ Environ[1] = 0;
+ environ = Environ;

entry = (struct aclmember *) NULL;
if (getaclentry("lslong", &entry) && ARG0 && strlen(ARG0) > 0) {

======

Also, what I do with my FTP chroot tree to help me keep things straight is to
put programs in /bin, but also carry along the "real" directory structures,
making symbolic links from the corresponding "real" location back to "/bin",
ie:

FTP area: /usr/local/gnu/bin/gzip -> ../../../../bin/gzip

So, all FTP programs are in /bin of the FTP area, with an additional link
corresponding to their non-FTP location (ie we normally keep the GNU programs
in /usr/local/gnu/bin in the "real" file system). This makes the entries in
the "ftpconversions" simpler, I just put the "real" paths in there.

Standard disclaimers here: Rough, works for me, etc. Let me know if anybody
uses the code, or if my explanation as to why "tar.gz" doesn't normally work
helps. I have all of the tar/compress combinations working for both anonymous
and "real" users. (at least they were the last time I checked :-)

I also have similarly-rough code for DEC Alpha OSF 2/3 which checks passwords
with/without enhanced security if anybody wants that...

Oh, and one more thing: Merry Christmas!

I still have had no luck with this. I think the problem is that I dont follow
how the ftpconversions are supposed to act and what commands should be used to
use tar.

Could anyone point me to some further info on this subject?

I still have had no luck with this. I think the problem is that
I dont follow how the ftpconversions are supposed to act and
what commands should be used to use tar.

Could anyone point me to some further info on this subject?

try something like this : (note that gtar is just GNU tar).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#strip prefix;strip postfix;addon prefix;addon postfix;external command;
#types;options;description

# note that you need /bin/gzip to exist (a link to /usr/local/bin/gzip)
# in a UN-chrooted filesystem ('real' users)
# because gtar will try to exec gzip with a normal path.

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

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that 'addon prefix' is not implemented. I've added it here so that I
can do someting like 'get xxx:yyy' where xxx is some database name and yyy
is some some of identifier (like a keyword). You then have to have something
like a O_DONT_STAT option to avoid trying to stat() a non-existent file
xxx:yyy. (The reason I can have ':' in my pathname is because I use somethign
else (';') for field separators in my ftpconversions file)

cheers,
-rj

There is a discussion of the wuftpd ftpconversions file in a book by
O'Reilly & Assoc. (ora.com, http://nearnet.gnn.com/gnn/gnn.html) :
"Managing Internet Information Services". I picked up a copy this weekend
from Computer Literacy Bookshops ([email protected]), and I wish I had had
it a couple of months ago.

Hello,
I guess this question should be typically answered looking at a FAQ,
but as I don't succeed in finding it, I'm compelled to send a message
to this mailing list.
I've setup without any difficulties my ftpd on my SUN (sunos 4.1.2).
The only problem I have is concerning the anonymous user:
when entering as anonymous the command ls works, while the command
ls -l (or any other option) doesn't work. As the other users can
use the ls command with all the options, I suspect that it is problem
of access rights.

Thank you in advance for your help,

Gianluca Lo Reto

Hi there,

You need to have ~/ftp/bin directory relative to the anonymous
ftp directory and there put a copy of the ls executable.

Hope this helps,

PCVS

Hello,

Sorry to be joining the list and already asking questions, but I have to
install wu-ftpd before the end of the year... :)

I've compiled wu-ftpd on IBM AIX-ESA. It needed some changes, but nothing
too serious. My compiler complained about the NULL constant being
assigned to char's or int's, which I had to solve by replacing NULL with
(char)NULL or (int)NULL.

After compiled and the files copied to the proper places, it returned a
"Can't set uid" error when I log as anonymous, and a "Login failed" when
I try to ftp to my user account. What can be happening?

Thank you all,

Eduardo Poyart

Hi,

I've been trying for days now, and I can't get wu-ftpd to log things
throught syslog....

I have the following line in /etc/inetd.conf:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/lib/wu-ftpd/bin/ftpd
ftpd -a -l

(in one piece :-)

and the following in /etc/syslog.conf:

daemon.info /var/log/ftp.info
daemon.err /var/log/ftp.err
daemon.debug /var/log/ftp.debug
daemon.notice /var/log/ftp.notice

This didn't work (btw. I also tried local1 as facility, as it is in the
generic config.h of wu-ftpd, didn't work either).

Then I realized that logging to syslogd is done throught /dev/log (it is,
isn't it?), so I created ~ftp/dev/log (and also ~/ftp/var/log, just to be
sure), but it didn't help either.

Now I'm completely lost...

*How I'm I supposed to get wu-ftpd logging things to syslog? *

btw. I have logging of real users commands to syslog enabled, and I'm
running Solaris 2.3, now on a sparc classic, but soon on a sparc20.

Maarten

I have configured ftpd for the QNX operating system, everything seems to
work fine but, after logging in the ftpd accepts the login entry, displays
user "name" logged in and immediately spits out the error:
by the way I am logging in as "ftp localhost"

421 service not available remote server has closed connection.

My attempts at this failed because '/etc/ftponly' did not pass the shell check,
so I simply put in a valid shell and things worked.

Do you have the following in ftpaccess?

how to set up an upload directory under the anonymous ftp home
directory which would be accessible by only certain people.

i've tried creating a user "aguest" group "gst" in my /etc/passwd &
/etc/group files

the passwd entry is
aguest:xxxx:401:401::/data/ftp/./incoming:/etc/ftponly

when i ftp to my server and log in as "aguest" i get user access denied
message.

what am i doing wrong? and is there supposed to be a shell program called
"ftponly"? or is that any dummy argument?

thanks
mark

Is there any way to make the default transfer mode binary? I keep getting
users who download stuff in ASCII mode and then complain that there's
something wrong with our files. I've tried adding a message that they
get automatically when they cd into the directory, but it seems they
can't read.

I don't know about Solaris, but on SunOS 4.1.3, creating the file
manually is critical. Also, restarting syslogd:

% touch /var/adm/daemon.log
% kill -HUP <the syslog pid>

Also, the file /var/adm/xferlog was automatically created by ftpd,
without any syslog.conf changes on my part. Look like
ftpd does not use syslog to write to xferlog.

->what am i doing wrong? and is there supposed to be a shell program called
->"ftponly"? or is that any dummy argument?

-From: [email protected]
-
-My attempts at this failed because '/etc/ftponly' did not pass the shell check
-so I simply put in a valid shell and things worked.

Watch this. The point of the /etc/ftponly is that it will only allow
ftp logins. If you put in a valid shell, and then try a telnet/rlogin to the
host, give the right password, and Poof! You're a full-fledged user, with all
attendant access privs.

I use /bin/false as the shell for my guest FTP account. It allows them
to FTP in, but any login attempts are immediately disconnected.

Thanks for the info.

I've tried almost everything, all the files seem to be in place, I deleted
the shutmsg in the /etc directory.
I also had trouble with the reply functions for some reason I changed the
parameters to var. args eg: reply(int n, char *, ...). that seemed to solve
some msg problems, but still can't put my finger on the other problems.
This is my first experience with ftpd so some fixing may not of needed
fixing.

any more info would be much appreciated.

If you filter your mail use a sed command like:

|/bin/sed -e 's/\[[0-9]*\]//g' -e 's/R[eE]:.*R[eE]:/Re:/'

Right now, we set up the ftp log and it works fine. But, we like to
know how to log where anonymous ftp comes from if the anonymous user
doesn't provide his or her true email address as the required password.

Thank you in advance for help.

I set up wu-ftpd 2.4 on our firewall machine a bit ago. It seems
to work fine, but one problem keeps anoying me. The ftp directory is
nfs mounted from a seperate machine. (This is under SunOS 4.1.3)
I have set up my ftpaccess file something like the following, so that
some employees who want to maintain some upload areas can do so;

upload /u/ftp * no
upload /u/ftp /incoming yes ftp ftp
upload /u/ftp /incoming/juggle yes barry ftp
upload /u/ftp /incoming/specula yes jonl ftp
upload /u/ftp /incoming/python yes brennan ftp

So... What happens is when someone uploads something, to one of the
subdirectories, I get a 0 length file owned by the owner specified in
ftpaccess. I ran a trace on it, and it seems to open the file, chown
it, then switch owners back to ftp, realize it can't write to the file
and exit out. Any hints as to what I might be doing wrong would be
greatly appreciated!

Yes, I know the problem. I too spent weeks trying to figure
this out on Solaris 2.3. Don't dispair it can be done.

My entry in syslog

daemon.info /var/adm/daemon.log

My inetd.conf
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/ftpd in.ftpd

I had to create the log file by hand with access rw-rw-rw.
I also modified ftpd.c to call closelog() on exit.

Things seem to work now. Good Luck

If you notice that some clients can't handle the output of
ls, but can handle ls -l. I need a fix for that problem.

Why not put an
passwd-check rfc822 enforce
in your ftpaccess ?
(so if you don't enter a valid e-mail address you are logged out)

You have to enter /etc/ftponly in the file /etc/shells (at least on
SUN-OS 4.x). There need not be a program /etc/ftponly, this is only
a dummy entry to prevent users aguest from login in with telnet.

Don't forget to enter all other valid shells in /etc/shells, if you create it.
My file looks like this:
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/tcsh
/usr/local/bin/bash
/etc/ftponly

There is one disadvantage of this: If a user is playing around with shells
and do a "chsh" to /etc/ftponly, he will be locked out from the system
and will need the help of the superuser.

Thanks to Patrick Salsbury for the feedback - I learned something significant
about server configuration and security in all this. I did have to put
/bin/false in /etc/shells to get guest login to work, though anonymous login
does not need it even with the /etc/passwd ftp account set to shell /bin/false.

Should there then exist a line in /etc/shells:

/etc/ftponly

and should this file exist? I grepped the source, support and documentation
for ftponly and only found one reference in doc/ftpaccess.5 to a sample
/etc/passwd entry. If this should go in /etc/shells I haven't found a
reference to such yet.

i'm running my ftp server on solaris.
it doesn't have a shells file by default, so i created one
and put /etc/ftponly in it. which itself doesn't exist.

now my guest ftp login works as advertised and regular logins with
that guest name fails.

thanks for all your input

We *wrap* the wu-ftpd with tcpwrappers. The tcpwrappers package gives
us great logging and access control capabilities. System is a Sun4m
running SunOS 4.1.3.

In the /etc/inetd.conf file:

###TCP_Wrappers
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/tcpd ftpd -a -l

In the /etc/syslog.conf file:

##Added 26-Oct-1993 dms - tcp_wrappers program from CERT
local0.info /var/adm/tcpwrappers

The messages from tcpwrappers will be logged to the file /var/adm/tcpwrappers.
(Don't forget the tab between the two fields in the syslog.conf file, create
the file /var/adm/tcpwrappers, and restart syslog)

Logged message will resemble something like the following:

Dec 21 14:32:31 moat ftpd[9220]: connect from sair028b.engsci.sandia.gov

Additionally, the tcpwrappers package can be configured with access control
lists to allow/deny certain hosts. That is handled via the /etc/hosts.allow
and /etc/hosts.deny files.

Grab tcpwrapper, via anonymous ftp, from

cert.org:/pub/tools/tcp_wrappers

Good luck!

You need to have a list of shells (whether or not they exist) in a file,
/etc/shells. Do you have this?

Add /etc/ftponly (or /bin/false) to (on SunOS at least, /etc/shells).
I've noticed that this may or may not exist to start with, so you
may need to create it (see the man page for getusershell(3) and be sure to
include the standard shells [csh, sh] as well or other things will
start to go wrong!). There's also some discussion about this in the
wu-ftpd man page (page 3 or so "FTPD authenticates users according to
four rules...")

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Yes, we have it in our ftpaccess. However, if somebody ftp into
our site as anonymous user and type the password, ie. [email protected],
then get into our ftp machine. Currently, we are using wu-ftpd2.4(1).
Should we use 2.4(3) or something else? or something I didn't
set up correctly? Thank you,

In addition, we also have tcpwrapper. I know that tcpwrapper can log
the in.tfpd from particular site. But, the wrapper cannot help us to
trace who was trying to ftp our site with the password of [email protected].

Thank you for your help. Also thank David Sears for the suggestion
of tcpwrapper.

Ok, I'm not too experienced so I'll ask... What is tcpwrapper? Or, more
to the point, what is a wrapper in the first place?

Thanks,

When I try to rebuild ftpd with the following patch on my Sun Sparc2 workstation, I got these error messages, does anyone has any idea what have I done wrong ?

Making ftpd.
gcc -g -DDEBUG -I.. -I../support -L../support -target sun4 -c ftpd.c
ftpd.c: In function `dataconn':
ftpd.c:1711: storage size of `timeout' isn't known
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target 'ftpd.o'

Thank you in advance.

This is on SunOS 4.1.x? You'd probably need to include one more header,
the header that defines "struct timeval"".

Hi!

I'm a newbie to this list, and maybe my question has been already
discussed, so exuse me this fault..

I've installed wu-ftpd 2.4 and it works fine, but I'd like to know
if there is a possibility to extend its ''ftpconversions`` file to
perform "on-fly" conversions from .Z to .gz (files compressed using
UNIX "compress" utility to "gzip" archives) and vice versa.

I haven't tried yet to look on source code of this daemon, so I do
not know whether there are any limits for such conversions...

The problem (as I can understand it) is that such conversion needs
to run two programs through a pipe, like:

"zcat %s | gzip -9" or "gzip -cd %s | compress"

Can anybody help me with this problem ? Waiting for your answer by
e-mail to the list or directly to me ([email protected]).

Thanks! Sincerely,
--alex.

The README that comes with wu-ftpd states that it will/can do logging
of commands and transfers. Transfer logging works but no matter what
I try, I can not get command logging working. I would really appreciate
some help as someone keeps deleting my pub dir and others. The
version I am using is wu-2.3(4). Would going to 2.4 help? The FIXES-2.4
file does not seem to indicate this.

I had that as well for a while. I found that sending a couple of HUP
signals to inetd and killing off all the ftpd processes cured the
problem. Why I don't know.

Hi Keven,

Though I am using wu-ftpd2.4, I don't see that my advise can't apply to you.
In order to activate command logging (I am assuming you have made the correct
entry in ftpaccess) you must edit /etc/syslog.conf adding the following line,
daemon.info /<pathname>/<filename>
then restart the syslog daemon by doing the following,
kill -HUP <pid_of_syslogd>
That should get things started up for you. You might also consider revoking
deletion privileges to all ftp-ers.

Hope this helps,

PCVS

Hello...

Is there a simple way to restrict access to part of my anon FTP site?

That is, allow only clients who come from
130.216.*.*
to access
/private

Any ideas?

TIA

Try to use the mknod command to create the following special files
in your ~ftp/dev directory:

15838 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 2, 2 Nov 18 13:50 null
15834 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 11, 42 Nov 18 13:27 tcp
15835 0 crw-r--r-- 1 root other 11, 9 Nov 18 13:27 ticotsord
23124 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 1, 0 Nov 18 13:46 tty
15836 0 crw-r--r-- 1 root other 11, 41 Nov 18 13:27 udp
15837 0 crw-r--r-- 1 root other 13, 12 Nov 18 13:28 zero

This works with Solaris 2.3.

I have installed wu-ftpd-2.4 and when I try to FTP in, I get
the following error messages:

421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
Login failed.

I do however get my welcome banner before the error.

Does anyone have any ideas, PLEASE?

Thank you

Hi There,
wu-ftpd2.4 do not implement the command logging feature, the only way to get a track of users commands is to start the ftpd with the -L and -d options, this is can be done by adding these options in the inetd.conf file and then by setting up the syslog.cf file so that you can get the complete trace (even the users non crypted passwd !!) in a log file.

Hi !

I just got on this mailing list. There is probably a FAQ that I should
just wait for. But being the impatient person that I am, could
someone send the FAQ to me? Specifically, I am having a problem
building wu-ftpd because my sunos4.1.3 does not have krb.h. I tried
pulling one from the net, but it didn't work either. If there is a
workaround, a location for krb.h for sunos4.1.3 that is not in the
FAQ could someone send it to me, too? Lastly, I must have done something a
little wrong because the list server send back an error instead of
the index. I hate to bother you all, when I've probably just missed
something simple. But, like I said, I am impatient ( or is it really
busy with a deadline? :) and don't want to keep randomly trying things.

Thanks a bunch !

Then have a look at where shutdown in your ftpaccess file points to,
see if the file exists and, if so, remove it.

Hope this helps,

I have tracked down the problem with the duplications on wu-ftpd,
and a node seems to be delivering the mail back to [email protected]
but only once. I'm not sure why this is happening, but the address will be
removed from the list momentarily.

While we're on mailing list administrative matters, I would like to
see the list itself removed from the Reply-To: header leaving only the
original poster. Mailing to the list should require a bit of extra
thought and effort because of the bandwidth involved, and I for one
expect replies to go to the original sender as private e-mail. Many
mailers (Elm for one) allow a [G]roup reply which goes back to the
original sender and to all recipients of the mail.

This subject seems to come up on every mailing list from time to time,
and every time I've seen it put to a vote of the people on the list,
the decision is to keep the list off the Reply-To: header.

Clarification:

I'm going to make the change next Tuesday afternoon (~96 hours) from
now in real time. That is one WORKING day for me. I wouldn't want to
discriminate against holliday weekend vacationers and other time
zones. Just let me (or the list) know if you think there is value to
having a list wide reply set or not. All arguments must be particular
to wu-ftpd and not general philosophy :-).

According to my theory, the message I'm quoting should be duplicated
and this one will not be...

I prefer the current method. Frequently I just monitor the alias
for future use and my experience is that people are not diligent
enough to post summaries of their replys when the replys only go
to them.

I think it's a good idea if it will reduce the chance of wu-ftpd list
mail-bombing.

Also there's no indication that these postings are from a mailing list.
Could you consider adding a Precedence: bulk or Precedence: list
header? Some autoresponders (i.e. vacation programs) will not reply
messages with one of those headers.

A sender field is beyond my capability to provide (we buy this mail
server), but if you want to automate your placement in folders, how about
Looking at the envelope from (always [email protected])
which will guarantee that it is from wu-ftpd. You can also check for an
Errors-to: [email protected] if you can only look for rfc822
headers.

IMHO removal of the list from reply-to will only be a good thing if the
recipient of the advice summarizes back to the list (as is done on the
sun-managers list). After all, the solutions and advice may often be of
interest to more than the person who sent in the query.

Thank you,

hello,

I am not sure it would be a good thing, however a sender field for the mailing list would surely be a real asset and would certainly enable a lot of readers to
have the mailing list stored nicely in a mail folder without requiring some
heavy fiddling.

If individuals will summarize responses for the list, or responders include
the list when their reply is potentially of interest to list members, then
I agree that removing the list from Reply-to: is a good thing. If the
above doesn't occur, however, the list will turn into a one-way
conversation of questions, and "me too" messages. Those of us who monitor
the "goings on" but don't jump in unless we have something to say will be
left out in the cold.

I vote to keep the list in Reply-to: unless we strongly encourage folks to
summarize responses to questions, or encourage responders to ensure the
list is included in replies.

The biggest and most annoying problem (duplicate messages) seems to have been
resolved -- THANK YOU!!

Of special interest to BSD fans. I changed the following in
/support/fnmatch.c to get things to compile...

/* Before:
*
* int
* fnmatch(register char *pattern, register char *string, int flags)
* {
* register char c;
* char test;
*/

/* After: */
int
fnmatch(const char *pattern, const char *string, int flags)
{
const char c;
char test;

I really don't know the difference between a register and const, but that
is what the manual page on fnmatch() spoke.

So.. questions? comments?

My philosophy is to respond directly when something isn't of general
interest, and to direct it to the list otherwise (just like netnews).

I think that limiting bandwidth is more important on mailing lists
than news groups because mailing lists take much more of a system's
processing and bandwidth than news groups. A message on netnews comes
in once and is read by many people while mailing list traffic generally
requires a separate connection for each reader. Many people on mailing
lists don't get netnews and depend on long-distance phone connections
and uucp or pay by the message on CompuServe and other on-line services
so it's in their interest to keep the signal to noise ratio low.

We archive all mailing lists that come in here or that we maintain,
and they're available on ftp://ftp.celestial.com/pub/mailing-lists.
There are subdirectories by year_month. The oldest wu-ftp list that I
have goes back to June '94:
ftp://ftp.celestial.com/pub/mailing-lists/9406/wu-ftpd.gz

The correct IP address is 192.136.111.2. We moved last month and the
IP address change hasn't propagated around the network yet.

The question is, why are politicians so eager to be president? What is
it about the job that makes it worth revealing, on national television,
that you have the ethical standards of a slime-coated piece of
industrial waste?
