Hallo!

The following problem,

I have the setup
~/ftp/bin
/etc
/pub/pipo/de/clown
/etc
/lib

Due to this setup the anonymous users by default will get in the
~/ftp directory.
What i want is that any anonymous user will end up in the
directory ~/ftp/pub/pipo/de/clown

What is the best way to solve this problem.
THANKS in advance.

I'm curious about the future direction of wu-ftpd. I understand that

to find any online reference to this. Can someone update me on what
the current status is?

Dear wu-ftpd user,

I reposted this because of a typo in the first one I sent out.
Basically it says that two guestgroup members can't write into
each other's directories.

That is, groupA and groupB are both guestgroups. If a member of
groupA owns a directory, a member of groupB can't write into the
directory even if the directory group ownership is groupB.

Given the following wu-ftpd setup, when ftpadmin ftp's in to the
server why, can't he write to the "/FTP/guests/aguest/pub directory"?
I get an "upload" error. He can read the directory fine.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

What happens if you make this path "/FTP/guests/./"? This is something of a wild guess, but
it might be worth a try. To me the rest of it looks ok.

I am running 2.4. I am attempting to create an ftp account such that a
user my not 'cd' out of the directory hierarchy that I have placed
them in. I have configured their id in the passwd file to indicate a
chroot'ed entry. When the log in via ftp, they are placed into that
subdirectory. If they "cd ..", it takes them to the root, as denoted
in the /etc/passwd entry. Another "cd .." takes them back to the
initial subdirectory that they were in. The third "cd .." takes them
to the root of the machines filesystem. How can I keep this from
happening.

I have AIX systems running wu-ftpd. I have the ftpconversions
file setup so that requested conversions to tar, zip, gzip,
compress, etc. work when just fine. Everything works as advertised
when getting a tar image of all the files in a directory. For example,
requesting a tar of /foo results in my receiving foo.tar containing all
the files in /foo. Is it possible to request a subset of files in a
directory in an tar file? Lets say in /foo I have 300 files and 25 of
the files begin with the letter "a". Does anyone know if it is possible
to configure wu-ftpd so I can request a*.tar ( I know about mget but for
reasons beyond MY control, I can't use that option).

Hi - I just installed wu-ftpd-2.4 on an OSF/1 machine, and everything is
working with the exception of number-to-name mapping on "dir" output.
I have a group and passwd file in the right place with the right
permissions, but it's not working.

VERTEX[182]# ls -ld ~ftp/etc
dr-xr-xr-x 3 ftp ftp 512 Apr 4 19:30 /fsys4/ftp/etc
VERTEX[183]# ls -ld ~ftp/etc/group ~ftp/etc/passwd
-r--r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 390 Apr 4 19:28 /fsys4/ftp/etc/group
-r--r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 946 Apr 4 18:16 /fsys4/ftp/etc/passwd

I even ran mkpasswd on /fsys4/ftp/etc/passwd but it didn't help.

Any suggestions?

How do I check if the conversion works? I have installed wu-ftpd-2.4 in
solaris2.4. If it doesn't work, how do i approach it?
By the way, I ftp my site via moasic for windows. It warns me that HTaccess can't support PSAV. How do I solve it?

I had the same problem with wuftpd2.4 on OSF/1 where the group and
user ids were showing instead of actual names for a long listing.
You need to copy the COMPLETE /etc/sia directory structure over
to your chrooted anonymous ftp area. This will fix it.

Subject: anon ftp outside of domain under SOLARIS -- somewhat long
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Folks,

I've spent a few days looking at this with little success, so I'd like to
ask for your assistance.

The situation:

- SUN workstation running SOLARIS 2.3 (with maintenence release patches)

- Trying to use: Version wu-2.4(2)

- ftp onsite (inside local domain) for real and anonymous ftp sessions work
just fine.

- ftp attempts from outside the lerc.nasa.gov domain all fail with:

(nimitz is a machine outside the local domain)

[nimitz]{1}% ftp ftp.lerc.nasa.gov
Connected to ftp.lerc.nasa.gov.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

- ftpd is run out of inetd with:

# wu-archive ftp daemon 2.4
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /export/asao/ftp/bin/ftpd -d

- Though ftpd is run with "-d" there are no errors being logged in either
/usr/adm/messages or the xferlog when connections are dropped.

- The hosts.allow entry for ftp for the tcpd wrapper reads:

in.ftpd:LOCAL,ALL

and there are no tcpd warnings (automatic mailings) when ftps fail from
outside the domain (as there should be if tcpd is dropping the connection).

- (Don't know if this is related) ckconfig cannot find the files in the
ftpd hierarchy, even though they ARE there (with mode 555 dir permissions
all the way through).

[/export/asao/ftp/bin] 62#./ckconfig
Checking _PATH_FTPUSERS :: ~ftp/etc/ftpusers
I can't find it... look in doc/examples for an example.

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

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

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

.. ad nauseum.

But if you look manually, they're there:

[/export/asao/ftp/bin] 63#ls -l ~ftp/etc/ftpusers
-r--r--r-- 1 ftp other 83 Apr 3 11:45 /export/asao/ftp/etc/ftpusers
[/export/asao/ftp/bin] 64#ls -l ~ftp/etc/ftpaccess
-r--r--r-- 1 ftp other 415 Apr 4 17:41 /export/asao/ftp/etc/ftpaccess

[/export/asao/ftp/bin] 66#ls -l ~ftp/daemon/ftpd
total 10
drwxr-xr-x 2 root other 512 Jan 5 12:16 ftp.pids-%s/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Apr 4 17:43 ftp.pids-all

- The default SOLARIS ftpd works fine both onsite and offsite, but we need
to use the wu-archive ftpd because of it's enhanced logging capabilities.

Questions:
---------

1. Any idea why ftpd drops connections from outside the local domain?

2. Any idea why ckconfig can't find the ~ftp files?

3. Where might I find more information on the "421 Service not available ..."
error?

4. Is there a timeout for service response that might be causing ftpd to
drop the offsite connection requests?

5. Anything else I should look at? Is there some way to increase the logging
to see why these connections are dropped?

6. Any SOLARIS-specific issues I should be aware of?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, especially by those offsite
users who want to get to our files. :-)

Thanks.

Richard

Since the daemon name is /export/asao/ftp/bin/ftpd, the rules should be for
/export/asao/ftp/bin/ftpd

The ~ftp for the homedir of ftp is a feature of bash and other shells. It's
NOT a kernel feature so you need to give the full pathnames.

Irix5.x and Irix4.xare binary compatible.
I had problem with compiling it on Irix5.x . but it compiled
without any problem on irix4 machines. So I run irix4.x binary
on irix5.x machines ???.

There is a doctored 5.2 version out there.
I'll find it and put is somewhere where you can
find it. In return I would really appreciate
a staticly compiled version of ls :)

Nope. Neither /etc/ftpshut or ~ftp/etc/ftpshut exist. ~ftp/bin/ftpshut

I made these changes in pathnames.h, rebuilt everything, and HU-ed inetd.
ckconfig now works and finds its files:

48>./ckconfig
Checking _PATH_FTPUSERS :: /export/asao/ftp/etc/ftpusers
ok.
.. etc

Offsite ftp attempts are unchanged (nimitz is offsite machine):

[nimitz]{3}% ftp ftp.lerc.nasa.gov

All other ftps (onsite real, onsite anonymous) are still working fine.

It's progress in my book. :-) Thanks Michael.

Now if someone has a reason why these connections keep being dropped or
what the "421" error is ...

Is there a NEWS group out there that discusses wu-ftp and secure
FTP? If so, what is its name? I have LOTS of very basic questions
that I'm sure have already been asked. I could save a lot of
traffic on the listsrv and get a lot faster response if I could
browse through a NEWS group. Can anybody help me?

Hello...

> Irix5.x and Irix4.xare binary compatible.

They are not completely binary compatible. Read your release notes.
Most programs from 4.x will run on 5.x.

The biggest known problems are:

1. /usr/etc/resolv.conf moved to /etc/resolv.conf

You need to make a link back to get any of the 4.x binaries to resolve
host names (or you linked it to the shared libc, in which case it is
not a problem)

2. shadowed passwords

wu-ftpd works fine if you don't enable them, but tends to break after
they are enabled.

3. utmp handling. I compile our FTPDs not to write in the system
versions of these. If the SGI versions of these programs can scramble
utmp/wtmp, then I don't hold out much hope for the rest!

I FTPd the WU-FTPD source distribution from sunsite.unc.edu a couple days
ago. When I tried to compile, I got numerous compilation errors. I was
able to fix some of them by moving a file from the root of the distribution
to one of the lower directories, or perhaps the reverse. I still got a
number of compilation errors. I am using Linux 1.2.2, GCC 2.5.8, and the
4.6.27 (I think) runtime. Any ideas on this? The precompiled versions
won't work for me since they don't have Shadow support turned on.

The version that's in :

ftp.cetis.hvu.nl:/pub/koos/linux/wu-ftpd-2.4.linux.tar.gz

Compiles nicely on one Linux machine here (latest Slackware release) but
doesn't link there, I link it on another machine which has the shadow
libraries.

Bytheway, check for a directive for long passwords. The linux shadow suite
supports long passwords (16 significant chars in stead of 8) which can make
users with those long passwords unable to log in to the ftpd.

Errr... "ftpd" should be the same as argv[0] in inetd.conf. Plus, my
version of tcpd requires to leave blanks on both sides of the colon.
Last, ALL should be sufficient because it includes LOCAL.

Hope this helps.

I am trying to do a "build hpx" for an HP 400 running hp-ux 9.0.

I keep getting an Error 1 stop when I hit the line in the Makefile

Making ftpd.
yacc ftpcmd.y

*** Error code 1

The line in the makefile is

vers.o: ftpd.c ftpcmd.y
sh newvers.sh
${CC} ${CFLAGS} -c vers.c

When I run the line with "/usr/bin/yacc ftpcmd.y" there is no error. I have
checked my path and the /usr/bin directory is first in the PATH variable.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Please respond to [email protected], or list the response on the

The system I am trying to get 2.4 working on is a Sparc running Slowaris
2.4. ckconfig claims that I have everything in the right place. I am
pretty sure I have all the required libraries under ~ftp (tested by
running "chroot ~ftp /bin/sh" (for now, there is a copy of /bin/sh in
~ftp/bin/sh)).

any ideas?

Please check your /etc/shutdown (file exist?)

and in the /etc/ftpaccess
shutdown /etc/shutdown
(then you should know how it happened)

This is a function of your OS and /bin/login programs rather than something
for wu-ftpd to provide. Try "man 1 passwd" and "man 5 passwd" to see how
your OS implements this.

Is it possible to have a user that for all intents and purposes seems to be
an anonymous user but has access to another directory within the ftp
directory tree? The special user would need to be authenticated by typing
in a username and password, but would NOT be able to move outside of the
chroot'ed tree that anonymous users get to see.

As per O'Reilly and Associates: an entry in the real /etc/password file:

special:*:100:100:Special Privs User:/usr/spool/ftp/special:/bin/true

would allow the username to work with ftpd,

and an associated entry in the /usr/local/spool/ftp/etc/password file:

special:Jb0GcM6heZKNY:100:100:Special Privs User:/special:/bin/true

would allow the user to enter their password to ftpd.

Does the wu version of ftpd support this feature?

Thanks for any assistance,
ME

This is true, for man 4 passwd tells you how to put aging in
your /etc/passwd file. But I was wondering why aging is effect
with telnet ( asks for new password ), but not ftpd.

Check out the guestgroup directive in ftpaccess - it will do this.

Hi,
Does anyone know the newsgroup of wu-ftpd, no matter the topic is? I got a
strange problem in my system? When I use mosaic for mswin, the mosaic warned me that it doesn't support PSAV.

Since there doesn't seem to be much activity on this list, I'll have to
just jump in an ask -- is there a FAQ for wu-ftpd that someone can point
me to? I'm interested in known problems and patches or later versions
than 2.4. I'm trying to port it to Motorola's SVR4 v4 and keep running
into problems, mostly with the libraries.

hi,

i'm trying to set up wu-ftpd on a dec vs3100 running ultrix v4.4. i have both
the vax cc and vcc compilers installed. it will compile under neither.

many error messages are generated, but most common are complaints about
variables declared type void (it says only functions may be declared type
void).

the short of it is, the source won't compile and i'm wondering if anybody has
had experience with this or any similar situation.

thanks.

I need something a little bit different.

I have guest groups set up for users that access various parts of the ftp
tree with the SITE GROUP blah and SITE GPASS blah commands, but I also
want to enable FTP-only authenticated logins for administrators of
various subtrees so that the admins can go in, add/delete files and
directories and keep things in good shape for their archive users.

I know I can set up a CLASS that corresponds to either a real userid in
/etc/passwd, a group defined with groupclass, or anonymous users, and
that each can have sub-definitions based on point of origin, but I don't
want to give privs to a place, I want to give them to a person; and I
don't want to enable access for a group -- just for the maintainer of
that group's archives; and finally, I don't want to create a user in
/etc/passwd to do this.

any ideas?

Is the patch for Solaris 2.4 that fixes the following problem been
released? If so does anyone know the patch-id? I searched
sunsolve.sun.com and found nothing related to this with Solaris 2.4.

Any info would be appreciated.

You can refer the man ftp, which denotes you to use mknod to make several devices. They are necessary for ls and dir to use. Read carefully the doc. and
you'll get the solution.

Hi,

I've a problem with wu-ftp 2.4 - for me it looks like a bug ...

(I hope you can help me)

Problem:
in ftpaccess i have the following upload lines :

upload /home/ftp * no
upload /home/ftp /pub/tmp yes nobody nogroup 0666 dirs

I want to allow uploading of files and directories into my /pub/tmp directory.

But, following happend :
- file-upload to /pub/tmp works fine --> files owned by nobody, group set to nogroup, permission set to -rw-rw-rw-
e.g.: -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nogroup 78254 Apr 7 11:41 filexyz

- directories inside of /pub/tmp will be created - but owned by ftp, group is set to ftp, permission is set to drwxrwxr-x
e.g.: drwxrwxr-x 2 ftp ftp 512 Apr 12 18:07 B

- file-upload to the just created directory failed with message permission denied

- creation of sub-directories will work - but also bad uid/gid/permissions.

What can I do?
Is my configuration bad? Where?
Is it a bug?

Any idea?

Greetings

I already have ftp running under SunOS 4.1.3. If I run build with the
option for that system, will it replace the current ftpd daemon or do I
need to go a step further and get into the .conf files?

In any event, how do I do preliminary testing before installing?

Where is the help file to utilize all the features outlined in README?

What is the purpose of the . syntax at the beinnning of certain lines
in the ~doc/*.5 files? Are those files supposed to be run thru a certain
routine or sent to a printer with certain codes?

Thanks.

On several machines running wu-ftpd (latest version, SunOS 4.1.3 and
4.1.4) that have long uptimes, I notice some ftp processes that
never seem to terminate. Connections can hang around for up to
a couple of months even.

Are there any known bugs with zombie ftpd processes, and is there
any way to control them other than regularly scheduled reboots?

101945-23 claims to fix 1164519 (but may introduce other bugs instead). But
that's not the problem that gives the error reported above (it's "address
already in use" instead). "No such file or directory" is more likely just
something missing in /dev.

Linux C libraries have always been very sensitive to free()ing same
malloc()ed memory block twice. This has exposed quite a few bugs
previously, and now as I installed wu-ftpd-2.4 with linux libc-5.0.0
this revealed a bug in hostacc.c: endhacc().

This bug affects all Linux systems that have host access lists with
multiple hostnames per config line defined. wu-ftpd crashes with SEGV
randomly.

(Seems to me like structure of ha_arr had changed but the deallocator
routine was left as it is. Am I right?)

Fix is trivial, patch below:

if (fclose(ptFp))
return (-1);

Hope this help someone.

Apart from the sources (!), the only reference I've managed to find is a
throw-away remark on page 46 of the (2.4) "Security, Performance and
Accounting Administration" manual, though there it reads as though it only
applies to NFS-mounted filesystems. I'm sure I've seen it somewhere else, but
I agree it's pretty well hidden...

I've recently installed wuftp 2.4 on a SPARC 2 running SunOS 4.1.3.
Whenever anyone ftps my machine, I get these errors on my console.

I had this happen on a Solaris 2.3 box because I made a typo when
creating the _PATH_PIDNAMES directory. The default path is
/usr/local/daemon/ftpd.

If that path doesn't exist, the server will allow unlimited users
on because user count doesn't work. :)

Cheers, -Markus

Since we have to distribute a lot of little and large soundfiles between
many kinds of systems I have to offer them in different formats... so I use
sox (and if you don't change samplerate or so, it is fast).

Has anyone tried to install sox for on the fly conversions on wu-ftpd so
that you can offer .au .aiff .aif .wav .sf .snd etc files and storing only
one file in one format ???

If anyone has a configuration file for this and a static compiled version of
sox please mail me ?

Has sox be compiled statically, how can I do this. ?

(No format conversion is installed until now on my System, I have a
Black-NeXT with NeXTSTep 3.3)

Probably an FAQ but:
I built wu-ftp on a sun running 4.1.3 and it works fine. I'm now trying to
set up an anonymous ftp account. I've created subdirs for ftp including
etc, bin, dev and usr. dev has the null device, bin has ls, compress etc
usr has a subdir with lib that contains ld.so and libdl.so.* and libc.so.*

The anonymous user can ls but can't ls -l.

I understand that the problem has to do with the lost links to sun shared
libraries but I'm not clear how to fix this.

Thanks

Dave Stern

<I built wu-ftp on a sun running 4.1.3 and it works fine. I'm now trying to
<set up an anonymous ftp account. I've created subdirs for ftp including
<etc, bin, dev and usr. dev has the null device, bin has ls, compress etc
<usr has a subdir with lib that contains ld.so and libdl.so.* and libc.so.*
<
<The anonymous user can ls but can't ls -l.
<
<I understand that the problem has to do with the lost links to sun shared
<libraries but I'm not clear how to fix this.

The following script will set up the ftp area.

Hi,

This is probably an FAQ thing, but,

The man pages indicate that if you setup a guest ftp account, it should
behave just like an anonymous ftp account (no passwd)...I can't seem to
get this to work (I want anonymous ftp without useing ftp or anonymous
as the usernema).

Also, is there any weakness in putting a bogus shell in /etc/shells? I
put something called /etc/ftponly in /etc/shells, but I don't feel entirely
comfortable with it (being able to login, and THEN be kicked out 'cause
you don't have a valid shell)...

You try to man ftp to know what devices ls needs. And you use the command mknod
to make those devices, e.g. /dev/zero. I have the same problem before and use
the method to solve it.
BTW, I need some information to set the news server that permit the users of my
LAN to post news. Now, it don't permit and I allways get the error code:441 and
480.

Hi

I would like the users on my system to be able to copy the files that
are dumped in the /incoming directory. At the moment only root
can do this.

I don't however, what to change the permissions to 777. So is there
a way that this can be done using guest groups or someting...

I really am quite clueless as to how to proceed.

Thanks for any pointers or help

How about just making them readable? Like a 755 chmod or something?

You could give /incoming the normal permissions, and then create dirs like
/incoming/user1, /incoming/user2 that have write and execute permissions
for ftp (no read permissions) and read and execute for others. Like :

/incoming drwx-wx-wt root ftp

/incoming/user1 drwx-wx-wt user1 ftp

If someone wants to upload something for user1, let them put it in
/incoming/user1 .

For extra security, disable the creation of directories, and if the only
reason you want the incoming is so people can send files to the users without
root being needed for moving, you could delete all the non-dirs from /incoming
periodically.

MIME-version: 1.0
Content-type: Text/Plain
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm seeing a problem with wu-ftpd-2.4 on a Sun SPARC-1+ running SunOS
4.1.3_U1. When a client reqests a PASV connection, and then issues a get/put,
sometimes the client never actually connects to the server. The problem is
that wu-ftpd calls accept(), and ends up waiting forever for the client to
connect.

I sent mail to [email protected] asking if there was a FAQ, or if
this problem had already been addressed (also surfed the Web for a while to no
avail). I've not hearing anything back, and so I'm asking the list in general.

I've got a possible solution already coded, wherein I use a call to select()
before the call to accept(), with a timeout of 120 seconds. I have not yet
tested this code, but would be willing to share it if others would like to
comment.

Thanks in advance.

i have got the same problem with you, if possible, I want to try your method,
would you mind give me more detail? In fact, I am not familiar with c, so that
I want to get the source code without this problem if it exists.

If you using the anonymous, the wu-ftp'll change root
dir into the home dir of ftp. You can check it in
/etc/passwd. So, you should copy /bin/ls /<ftp>/bin/ls
and the relative library. The relative devices is also
necessary, you must use mknod to generate it. The detail
are listed in man ftpd. Good luck.

We're setting up an anon-ftp server here, and have the technical issues
pretty well covered, but we'd like pointers to how people handle the
administrative side, eg ensuring that users (especially local users) don't
put up dodgy software. The simple method of placing everything in /incoming
with no read access and having someone check them before putting them up
in a public area may, sadly, prove too awkward - is there another way?

All pointers welcomed. Please cc me explicitly; I haven't heard a thing
from this list in two or so weeks now, and I'm still trying to find out
what's happened...

If you using the anonymous, the wu-ftp'll change root
dir into the home dir of ftp. You can check it in
/etc/passwd. So, you should copy /bin/ls /<ftp>/bin/ls
and the relative library. The relative devices is also

are listed in man ftpd. Good luck.

You don't need to copy libraries for dynamic linking when you use the
statically bound versions of commands. They live under /sbin on Alpha
machines.

There's no static version of compress(1) in /sbin but it's possible to
use a statically bound version of gzip instead, which, btw, offers
much better performance than standard (un)compress.

I'm resending this cuz I'm amazed that nobody else is seeing this problem (got
only one response, and nothing on the list iteslf). Doesn't anybody else get
"zombie" processes on their SunOS boxes? How about on brand-X OS's?

Forwarded msg....
I'm seeing a problem with wu-ftpd-2.4 on a Sun SPARC-1+ running SunOS
4.1.3_U1. When a client reqests a PASV connection, and then issues a get/put,
sometimes the client never actually connects to the server. The problem is
that wu-ftpd calls accept(), and ends up waiting forever for the client to
connect.

I sent mail to [email protected] asking if there was a FAQ, or if
this problem had already been addressed (also surfed the Web for a while to no
avail). I've not hearing anything back, and so I'm asking the list in general.

I've got a possible solution already coded, wherein I use a call to select()
before the call to accept(), with a timeout of 120 seconds. I have not yet
tested this code, but would be willing to share it if others would like to
comment.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Accessing directories outside of the ftp structure?
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL11]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I've just installed wu-ftp onto an SCO Unix box and it seems to be working
just great...

Now I'm trying to make available a lot of information that is already
on the system in a Disability BBS. Under its area of the system, there
are a number of directories that contain 30 or more megabytes of
information files and programs.

FTP is setup in /usr/local/ftp which looks to be pretty typical.

The BBS directories are located in /bbs/bbsfiles/DIME with a bunch of
directories under DIME containing the information that I want to make
available.

So... an attempt to provide a symbolic link from the BBS directories
to the ftp directories like...

ln -s /bbs/bbsfiles/DIME /usr/local/ftp/pub/DIME

and away we go.... But it doesn't work.

The DIME directories are owned by the bbs but there are read permissions
to all the directories and files. When I try to cd DIME however, I get
DIME: No such file or directory...

The current setup works just fine with UUCP access but I'm not sure
why it won't work with FTP.

Is there something that I need to configure in ftpaccess so that it
can see directories outside of the ftp directory area?

I thought of moving the location of the FTP directories to be on top
of the BBS directories but can see some real problems there with
permissions and there is a lot in that area that I don't want viewable
at all.

The ultimate goal is to have all the disability file directories
available to the BBS, UUCP and FTP with only the BBS being able to
add new files to those specific areas and UUCP and FTP able to add
files to respective upload directories to be moved later.

In case it matters...

SCO Unix 3.2v4.2
TCP 1.2.1o
Development system but NO TCP Dev System

Any suggestions....

I have BTW looked at O'Reilly's Managing Internet Information Systems
which is a great book...but don't really see the answer there either.

ftpd runs chroot on the ftp area (/usr/local/ftp) which means that as
far as ftpd is concerned the rest of the file space does not exist.
This is why your symbolic link doesn't work. You have two options to
get round this:

1. set up an ftp tree on top of your BBS directories. But you didn't want
to do this.

2. mount the directories you wan't available via ftp under your current
ftp tree, and use links from the bbs area to the ftp area (assuming this
doesn't confuse your BBS software).

Do you have /bin/false in your /etc/shells file? You should or it won't

You also have to mention guest as a class in the ftpaccess file. eg:
class remote real,guest,anonymous *

Hope this helps

Looks like you don't have a class that includes guest at all.
What happens if you define in a class?

Hope this helps...

I didn't. It does now, but it didn't make any difference:

/etc/shells:

/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/usr/local/bin/zsh
/bin/false
/bin/true

I'm baffled.

Thanks for the response.

It did actually. I originally had:

class local real,guest *

But it didn't work. I think it didn't work because of other problems that
I had. I never put it back and that was the mistake.

It now works. Thanks to one and all that responded.

Subject: ftpwho not displaying machine logged in
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I am running wu-ftp 2.4 on a SPARC running Solaris 2.4 and have
everything running fine so far except for not being able to get ps or
ftpwho to display who is logged in.

The only reference I found about this was to make sure SETPROCTITLE
was defined and it is. But I still get the ftpd command line instead
of the user information.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I do this through a "hard" link (not a symbolic one) and it works
fine.

So just remove the "-s" from the command above and make sure the "source" file
has world-read rights ....

installation problems

First let me humbly ask if there is a FAQ for this group, and where I
may be able to find it.

I'm trying to install wu-ftpd on an AIX 3.2.5

It seemed to be going ok, then I changed something, and now it gives
me a message:

220 iserver FTP server (Version wu-2.4(1) Tue Apr 25 14:41:50 EDT
1995) ready.
Name (0:spiv):
530 User spiv access denied.
Login failed.
ftp>

I get the same thing for any user I try, who appears in the passwd
file. If however I specify an invalid user , it does prompt me for a
passwd. "anonymous" does work.

I made sure the user name was not in the ftpusers file.
If I put back the old daemon it works.(well sort of)

I also have another problem. As an anonymous user, the "ls" is the
only command that works. I can't do "ls -l", or "dir", or anything.
It tells me opening connection, and then nothing.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ari

I doubt this will work in this case because the /bbs/bbsfiles/DIME
is a directory and isn't under the ftp directory so it won't be seen
when chroot'ed under anonymous ftp.

My solution to this type of thing is to mount the directories I want
available under the ftp directory using symbolic links to the
directories for convenient access. The symbolic links can work both
under anon-ftp and normal access by making some strategic links in the
root file system.

As an example, my ftp directory is /ftp and I have an /ftp/pub
directory under that. I then 'ln -s /ftp/pub /pub' at the root level
which makes links of the form 'ln -s /pub/xxxxxxx/yyy/zzz ...' work in
either environment.

You could always use realtive instead of absolute links as well This
makes life alot easier and makes the file system a little more portable :)

Just my 2cents worth.

Has anybody written an ftpconversions rule that will use unzip (not gzip)
to unpack a DOS archive as it arrives in a directory? If so, would you mind
sharing the information?

Thanks

It can't work in an anonymous FTP setup because ftpd does a chroot(2)
before it grants access to the ftp directories. Symbolic links thus
can't work that way. I don't know SCO but if you can setup a loopback
mount, you can try to

mount <mount-type> /bbs/bbsfiles/DIME /usr/local/ftp/pub/DIME

The latter must exist before. Loopback mounts exist under various Unixes,
such as SunOS and AIX. Your mileage may vary.

As an alternative, you can set it up the other way round: the files
are located under /usr/local/ftp/pub/DIME, and /bbs/bbsfiles/DIME is
a symbolic link to /usr/local/ftp/pub/DIME.

No way.

See the chroot(2) man page. BTW all this is mentioned in your system's
ftpd man page. If not, SCO is to be badly blamed.

The above problem solved - I had to kill the inetd with -9 and not with -1.

I have another question, is there any way to check that user write a correct
email address when he write the the passwd of the anonymous account? otherwise
he can write any garbage he want.

Thanks,
Shlomit.

You can't use a hard link if the files are on different filesystems.

Does anyone know if I can automatically log the addresses of the host
machines of anonymous logins? I know I can do address resolving and
allow only those with legitimate address access, but can I then turn
around and log that address automatically for all attempted logins?

I'm running TCP wrapper, which logs the addresses of all the machines that
connect to my daemons. It's available from ftp.cert.org.

Bill:

Wrap your anonymous FTP daemon (in /etc/inetd or equivalent)
with Wietse Venema's TCP/IP wrappers. They are available from:
ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/security

These wrappers will allow you to log every incoming connection
on a TCP port (whether it succeeds or fails), as well as
implementing your own security policy on TCP connections
(i.e.: backfingering, IDENT checking, customized banners, etc).

Subject: New statistic program for WU-FTP available
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Over the pass few months, I have noticed a number of people asking for
better statistic programs then xferstat, some I have sent the program I was
working on. I am now making it freely available. For anyone that I already
gave it to, please get the new version. There are a number of new features
and a lot of bugs fixed.

The program is iisstat ( Internet Information Services Statistics ) and is
available at:

ftp://ftp.support.lotus.com/pub/utils/InternetServices/iisstat/iisstat.tar.gz

iisstat can produce 10 different types of reports: hourly usage, daily usage,
monthly usage, usage by day of week, usage by day of month, domain usage, file
usage, usage by host, usage by section, and usage by file type. It also has a
number of options for customizing what data is being reported on.

iisstat currently handles 3 log formats: WU-FTP xferlog, NCSA httpd access log,
and TBBS multiline BBS log.

iisstat also provide 3 output formats: printed report, HTML report, and graphs.

Enjoy it and let me know what you think of it.

Also, if anyone is interested I have written another statistic program for the
command log produced by WU-FTP. This program is still rough and needs some work,
but it currently reports on connections per: hour, host, month, user/password,
and date. If there is enough interest, I could make it available.

Subject: Solaris 2.4 devices - where is ticotsord ?
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I have installed wu-ftpd-2.4 on both Solaris 2.3 and 2.4 machines.
Everything is fine with the 2.3 installation, but I have run into a
problem with Solaris 2.4.

The /devices/pseudo/clone@0:ticotsord device appears to be missing.

The two Solaris 2.4 installations (with recommended patches) I have
locally are identical in this respect. According to the man page with
Sun's own ftpd, this device should be present.

I know from the list that many of you do use this version of Solaris.
Can you give me any pointers as to how this problem is solved?

Thanks in advance,

I want to add an account on my machine REAL account I think :)
So that I can give a userid and passwd that will override all the anonymous
transfers and let these users in.
I thought I would need lke the sheel in the password file to read
bin/ftponly but I can not find ftponly on my system

Please help me in setting this up
Thanks

Real and/or guest FTP is explained in the docs that came with
wu-ftpd. /bin/ftponly does not have to actually exist (better
if it doesn't), but it does have to be in the file /etc/shells.

Hope it helps...

I was missing only one piece of that :) the /etc/shells added that and
it works I wish that was clearer in the docs than it is but ohhhh well

hi,

i running wuarchive Version wu-2.4(4), everything works great;
with ~ftp pointing to /networking/ftp.

i am also running an http server; the main directory is /cwis/httpd,
and there's lots of docs i want people to access that is mounted on
/atg/stuff (all of these are different partitions with different
mount points, of course). files on /atg/stuff have soft links in
/cwis/httpd.

i'd like to allow folks to specify ftp://ftp.nyu.edu and have access
to /cwis/httpd and all of its links, including the files on /atg/stuff.
trouble is, anonymous ftp does a chroot, so it sees its own directory
and down; softlinks down there do not work. anyone have a way of
making it work, or suggestions for another way? i can't fit everything
on one disk, so that option is out.

On our "installed from scratch" 2.4 system I have:

$ ls -l /dev/tictsord
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Feb 28 14:12 /dev/ticotsord -> ../devices/pseudo/tl@0:ticotsord

$ ls -lL /dev/tictsord
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 105, 1 Feb 28 13:32 /dev/ticotsord

where as on the 2.3 system it is as you say.

Perhaps you need to do a "boot -r" to get the right device files installed.

Thanks to all who replied.

I now do a switch on uname -r in the setup script to cope with both

This only checks the syntax. It doesn't check that the email address is
valid. I could log in as

[email protected]

and it would pass. The best it can reliably (heh) do is assure that
foogle.com accepts SMTP connections. --Darren

Regarding the reference to the man page below. My passwd-check entry
looks like this:

passwd-check rfc822 enforce

I would expect this to verify that the anonymous user's passwd
would be resolved and validated. However, I can log in as
anonymous with a passwd like [email protected]
and still get in no problem. I would have hoped that it would
have tried to contact "lasjdlfj.skdjflsjdlf.dskjflksf" and would
have determined that it was invalid.

- i running wuarchive Version wu-2.4(4), everything works great;
-with ~ftp pointing to /networking/ftp.
-
-i am also running an http server; the main directory is /cwis/httpd,
-and there's lots of docs i want people to access that is mounted on
-/atg/stuff (all of these are different partitions with different
-mount points, of course). files on /atg/stuff have soft links in
-/cwis/httpd.
-
-i'd like to allow folks to specify ftp://ftp.nyu.edu and have access
-to /cwis/httpd and all of its links, including the files on /atg/stuff.
-trouble is, anonymous ftp does a chroot, so it sees its own directory
-and down; softlinks down there do not work. anyone have a way of
-making it work, or suggestions for another way? i can't fit everything
-on one disk, so that option is out.
-
- gary
-
I'm having just the opposite problem. I've installed ftp on a new
machine, and in testing, have found that the guest account can 'cd /' and get
out of the chroot and to the actual root directory!
Anyone know what might be wrong? Obviously, it's something that needs
fixing before the new machine is unveiled.

Thanks in advance!

Pat:

You have a sig without an e-mail address.

< I'm having just the opposite problem. I've installed ftp on a new
<machine, and in testing, have found that the guest account can 'cd /' and get
<out of the chroot and to the actual root directory!

Did you set it up as a ftp guest type user or a real user? I finally got
mine going and you need to make sure of some things.

In you ftpaccess file you need a couple of lines that contains:

class local real,guest *
guestgroup guest

Of course you can expand upon the class. I have the anonymous ftp login
set up for a remote class, so that I can limit the number of users.

You then need to set up the system /etc/password and /etc/group files:

passwd:

guest1:passwdgoeshere:5001:5000:Guest FTP account:/usr/ftp/./:/bin/false

group:

guest:*:5000:guest1

You need /bin/false in your /etc/shells file (or equivalent).

It works for me. The user logs in and the chroot takes over. If you try
logging in as a regular user, the process fails, since there isn't a shell
to use.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I'm running FreeBSD 1.1r, and I've had an increasing number of crashes lately
all of which have had the wu-ftpd executing a kernel command at the time of
the crash. I'm running wu-ftpd 2.4(1) and was wondering if there was a newer
version I could try. wu-ftpd-2.4 was all I could find when I archied for
wu-ftpd.

Thanks

Subject: Group controls not working
MIME-version: 1.0
Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I have been following the instructions on Group Controls on page 80 of the
book "Managing INTERNET Information Services", but a few things don't work
the way they are mentioned. I want to create a group and user that will
allow the user to FTP into the system and be in a restricted directory,
but not allow them to telnet into the same system. The problems are as
follows :

1) it is mentioned that after creating the appropriate group in the
/etc/group file, that an entry in the /etc/passwd file can be made of
the following form :

...:Guest FTP user:/users/guests/./guest1:/bin/false

However, the sintax of the "/./" does not work and is ignored. The user
still gets logged into the user's login directory instead of the the
directory specified in the first pathname.

2) the shell "/bin/false" causes the account of the special user to be
denied. I want to be able to let the user ftp in but not telnet into
my system. I assume this is what the /bin/false does. I tried
writing a restricted shell script in Perl which works great for the
telnet restriction, but still gives me the same denied access when
ftping in.

I am running on a Digital AXP system running OSF/1 V3.0b. Everything
compiled just fine and all other aspects of the server work as described
in the book and documentation.

If anyone has any suggestions, I look forward to hearing them.

Neil :-)

A sin tax? :-)

But, it does work and I have a system set up to prove it.

Where is /users/guests? Is it in the configured ftp home area? If not,
it could be the problem. If your anonymous ftp area is, for example, /usr/ftp,
then your guests could be set up as: /usr/ftp/./guests/guest1

You would then have a real path of /usr/ftp/guests/guest1. But, the guest
would only see /usr/ftp as / and start out in /guests/guest1.

Make sure that /bin/false is in your /etc/shells (or equivalent). Until
I had it in mine, as well as a class for the guest group, I too was denied
access.

The first thing that jumps to my mind when reading this :
Is the pids (process id) dir defined and does it exist ? And since the pids
files have the name of the class, if you have a filesystem with a 14 char
limit, long names can give a problem (but obviously not Jim).

Subject: ftpconversions?
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

I'm having trouble with getting on-the-fly tar and gzip for "get"s from
my ftp server. But, the "dir" client command works, i.e. the "ls" executable
in ~ftp/bin is being taken.

With tar, gzip, and zip, all I get is an empty file. The docs with the
distrib seems to be sketchy. Is there an FAQ available?

If you are as parnoid as me, I have solution.
Install tcp_wrapper for ftp ( on the parnoid mode) will block the bad
hostnames.
some shell to use SYSLOGS and backfinger and make sure that the ftp
loggin is a life user on the destination machine, If it is not kill the ftp session,
Somewhat possible to achive it in the setup of the tcp-warapper with
extension language.
I was hoping that I be able to get some of the information about the
validity of the user through smtp(port 25). But,I abondoned the whole project.

On top of the message? Not in the copy that I got. It must get stripped out
from the display that I get. SO, it may be there, I just don't see it.
It is much safer to put the e-mail address in the .sig.

<-group:
<-guest:*:5000:guest1
< That was the problem. I had created the group, but hadn't added the
<account TO the group.

The wu-ftpd software must not use the info in the password file to check on
the user. It must only use the group file. I guess we are used to not
putting the names in the /etc/group file. I never do for normal Unix users.
BSD Unix (SunOS) compairs the name in the password file to the group number
and then gets the group name from the group file. The wu-ftpd software must
not do that.

<-Hope this helps.

< Very much so! Thanks a million! :)

No problem. I was helped by this mailing list, so I could at least return the
favor.

You name is in the From: line, but the Reply-To: line takes precidence(?) over
the From: line. That is why you should always include your e-mail address
as part of your signature.

Subject: timeouts on gets and puts?
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm new to this list and have searched high and low for FAQs and list
archives to no avail, so please excuse me if this issue is a rerun.

While there's a nice timeout waiting for commands, there isn't any for
getting and putting files. This means is that if someone starts doing a
retrieve, gets bored, suspends the local ftp during a get/put, the
server will stay up hogging memory for a very long time. Enough people
do this and now the machine is at its user or memory limit. Guess how I
found this out :).

For the quick fix, I'm thinking of adding a timeout in send_data and
receive_data (ftpd.c) in the read and write loops, where if the timeout
period has elapsed and no data has been sent, the server shuts down.

There is the more general issue that any place not covered by a timeout
is a potential way a user can get an archive server to effectively
reduce its available user count by one. There could be more than just
those in the read/write loops of get and put.

Comments?

Thanks,
