Subject: need help with wu-ftp (latest version)
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I have wu-ftpd compiled and almost working on my rs6000. The rs6000 is
running AIX 3.2.5.

The trouble is that I am unable to access directories which don't have
world permissions. The directory is 750. And, I am in the group which
ownes the directory. However, this group is not my prymary. The
message I get back is that the directory does not exist. The number is
550.

Any suggestions would be very welcome. And, please email directly to me
or Cc: me a copy. I have just subscribed to the wu-ftpd mailing list.

I have had some funny problems with ls, ftp and IRIX5.2. I have found that
there are no problems if i change the IRIX5.2 ls to the old IRIX4.05 ls,
it seems to be an other bigger version.

This message has been posted to bugtraq, I'm forwarding it
to wu-ftpd since I guess all people here use that daemon.

Please check your wu-ftpd installation (even if you don't
use pre-compiled binary from Linux Slackware).

As described below, the _PATH_EXECPATH set in src/pathnames.h
SHOULD NOT BE SET to directory containing any executables you
don't want to be run as root.

Thanks! Sincerely,
--alex.

Subject: SECURITY: problem with some wu-ftpd-2.4 binaries

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi all,

There's a security hole in some Linux distributions involving
wu-ftpd-2.4. Some ftpd binaries have been compiled with a set of
defaults that allow anyone with an account on your machine to become the
root user. It appears that at least Slackware-2.0 and 2.2 are affected;
I have no information about other distributions. Anonymous FTP should
not be affected by this as long as you have only the `ls' command in

To find out if your machine is affected, ftp to your own account, log in
and enter this: quote "site exec bash -c id". If ftpd responds with
a line that says something like "uid=0(root) euid=1234(your_login)... ",
then your ftpd is vulnerable.

The obvious fix is to obtain the source of wu-ftpd-2.4 and recompile
it. The crucial part is the _PATH_EXECPATH define in src/pathnames.h.
It should NOT be set to /bin or any other regular directory. By default,
it is set to /bin/ftp-exec. Make sure this directory does not exist or
contains only harmless commands you are absolutely sure you would want
your users to execute as root.

Thomas Lundquist <[email protected]> has posted a small patch
for src/ftpcmd.y that goes even further and disables the SITE EXEC
command altogether. It is appended at the end of this message.

All the fame goes to

I have set up 2 classes in the ftpaccess file, however I can't seem to understand
what classifies a remote user from a local user.

I used the ftpaccess.heavy demo file that came with the source code.

It doesn't matter where or who I log it as, I'm always considered a remote user.

Can anyone clarify this for me?

wu-ftpd has a few problems setting the groups under AIX. You can get the
file tigger.itc.virginia.edu:/pub/AIX/wu-ftpd.diffs.txt.gz to see how I
fixed things up.

Subject: need help with wu-ftpd
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello all:

I am not sure if my first message made it to the list. I apologize if
you have to read my ramblings more than once.

Please email all responses to me; or, at least, put me in the Cc:
header. I haven't received anything back from my 'subscribe wu-ftpd'
message yet.

I have wu-ftpd up on my rs6000. It is running aix 3.2.5. The trouble
is that I am unable to access a directory with the 750 permissions. If
I try and cd into this directory, I receive a 550 message and the text
"directory does not exist". I can access this directory while in the
shell as well as with the ftpd that came with aix. I don't own the
directory; but, I am included in its group. Please advise if any other
information is needed.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Thanks

How can one use the SITE GROUP and SITE PASSWORD facility under
wu-ftpd? I can't invoke those commands once I login in as anonymous
users. My goal is to use site group and site password for restricting
certain people for uploading files to the ftp server. Thanks.

Subject: No Run, No Fun
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

We have wu-archive ftpd compiled and installed on a SCO UNIX
platform. There were no error messages upon installation and
"netstat" shows that this ftp daemon's status is "Listen".

But I tried "ftp"ing to the the appropriate port (I gave it port 4000
in etc/services) and the only response I get is :
"Connected to UNIXSERV1.LSUMC.EDU
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection"

Got any idea where the problem is?

Thanks

Subject: wierd ftp "dir" behavior
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

We've got a Sun 670MP with 4 processors, recently upgraded with Ross 90MHz
processors. Running SunOS 4.1.3, reasonably up-to-date patch-wise. Recently
the ftp "dir" command has broken. Well, it works maybe one in 10 times;
the other 9 times it returns nothing (no error, just no files). In fact,
the installation of patch 100726-17 (sun4m jumbo patch for kernel performance
and memory bugs) appears to have made it this bad (before this patch the
command worked about 50% of the time).

By tracing in.ftpd, (WU vers. 2.4), it seems that ftpd creates a pipe, then
forks a process to run the ls command which writes to the pipe. ftpd reads
the output from ls on the pipe, then sends it to the client. Whenever the
"dir" commands fails, there's nothing on the pipe.

Has anyone seen this problem? Or does my description give any clue as to
what might be going on?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Subject: Hanging connections
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Dear wu-ftpd experts,

I'm running wu-ftpd-2.4 on a Sparc 1+ (SunOS 4.1.3). Ftpd is started
from inetd with the command line "ftpd -l -a". Everything works
properly except that I regularly get connections that seem to hang forever
(at least for days) without being timed out. This seems to happen with
about 3% of connections.

The hung connections appear in several different TCP states, most
commonly CLOSE_WAIT. Quite often, netstat shows a socket in LISTEN
state, always corresponding to a zombie in the process table.

When I kill the hung processes, the zombies are cleaned up, the CLOSE_WAIT
connections move to LAST_ACK state, and the ESTABLISHED ones move to
FIN_WAIT_1. The connections with zero 'Send-Q' values disappear from
netstat eventually, but the others stay on indefinitely.

I have to kill the processes every day or two, because I impose a limit
of ten external connections in ftpaccess. If I don't clean up on time,
nobody will be able to get in.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Is it related to wu-ftpd, or do I
have a deeper TCP problem?

Sample ps and netstat ouput, with hostnames obfuscated, is appended.

Thanks for any input.

Michael

you can set the timeouts with the -t<timeout in seconds> and the -T<maximum
timeout in seconds> flags, just add them to the -l, -a flags in inetd.conf.

i have mine set to -t300 and -T1800

that would most likely help.

Subject: wuftpd 2.4 and Solaris 2.4
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm planning to upgrade from Solaris 2.3 to 2.4 late this summer, and in
preparation, I am doing a little "transition" research.

Does anyone know of specific problems with using wuftpd 2.4 with Solaris
2.4, and relevant patches, if any? We're happily running under Solaris
2.3, but I'd like to know how the upgrade will affect that.

Thanks in advance!

We've been running wu-ftpd 2.4 (the solaris 2.3 binary) under solaris 2.4
for about a month with no problems. All recommended patches as of May 21
or so have been applied for solaris 2.4.

We're running it on Solaris 2.4 with a server compiled under 2.3. No
problems so far, but we've only been up for a couple of weeks under 2.4.
We do have a reasonable number of connections, and I'd think we'd have
seen any severe problems by now. I have no information compilation under
2.4.

I recompiled wu-ftp 2.4 with acc (Sun unbundled compiler) under Solaris
2.4 to change the logging facility. The server has only been running
about two weeks, but there has been no problems other than those of my
own making...

The Solaris 2.3 version had run fine; I made no other changes to the
configuration before recompiling.

I didn't install the Solaris 2.4 system, but I am told that only the
required patches were installed. Hope that helps.

Subject: Solaris 2.4 strange bad file number using ls
X-mailer: Pegasus Mail/Windows (v1.22)
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I have compiled and I believe installed correctly wu-ftpd 2.4. Users
in the real class (i.e. me and my password) can login and use ftp
with no trouble. However, the anonymous user cannot use the 'ls'
command - an error message of

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

which I don't understand. I don't know if it's a Solaris problem or a
wu-ftpd problem, but I'm hoping someone has had this happen to them
and can suggest a course of action. Moving the ftp home directory
hasn't helped, nor has changing the shell specified for the ftp user
or changing the uid of 'ftp'.

I am running a wu-ftpd 2.4 on solaris 2.4.
The users login with own id/passwd can access corectly.
The anonymouse and ftp user can only receive any file/directory name
when they do a ls or dir.
Anyone encounter this problem before.

Under Solaris 1, in order for anonymous users to get the local

~ftp/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/localtime

What is the equivalent thing to do under Solaris 2.3?

X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I am running wu-ftpd-2.4 on a i486 BSDI machine and have no major
problems. I would like help with the two minor ones:

I am making minor changes to the ftpaccess file, but wu-ftp (being
called from inetd) doesn't seem to be acting differently. For testing
purposes, I modified a line to read:

upload /usr/var/ftpdir /incoming yes ftp user 0777
dirs

but files uploaded into ~ftp/incoming did not have the correct
permissions mode. Do I have to restart inetd when I make changes to the
ftpaccess file? I didnt think that I would. Have anybody else
experienced this?

Also, I am somewhat new to working with an ftp daemon. I would like to
set it up so anonymous users can make directories
(~ftp/incoming/dirname) and put files there, but can't read the files.
This is so other anonymous ftp users can't see files/directories put
there by other anonymous users. Is this possible?

Thanks a lot,
Jason

Hello all:

I am still working on getting wu-ftpd up on my rs6000 machine. We are
running aix 3.5.2.

First of all, I can't get the dir command to work for anonymous users.
Nothing is returned when this command is issued. FOr real users, it
works. I am sure it is something I haven't setup correctly;
but, I don't know what it could be.

Secondly, I am having problems with group only access for directories.
My account has the primary group of staff and is included in the mesonet
group. Now, directories which are 750 and are group owned by the
mesonet group can be accessed by the shell or the ftpd which came
with aix. However, with wuftpd, I get 2 responces. If I give the full
path to the directory '/usr/cwis/ftp/mesonet/mesoarchive' I recieve
"Permission denied". If, on the other hand, I just first cd into the
'/usr/cwis/ftp/mesonet' directory and then do a 'cd mesoarchive', I get
"No such file or directory". If I add world read/search permissions to
the mesoarchive directory, it starts working. again, I am not sure this
is an wu-ftpd problem. I have examined the code and it just calls
chdir(). I can't see how that could be messed up.

Any suggestions or answers would be welcome. Does anyone have wu-ftpd
running on an aix machine to their satisfaction?

Thanks

Are these files linked to the correct versions? If not, rm them (Makefile

Hello,

I'm trying to set up v2.4 on an Ultrix v4.4 system. During the build, I
get the following message: "Make: Cannot load yacc. Stop." I don't have a clue
as to where to go from there. I've read the install file and it doesn't
mention this possible difficulty.

Thanks in advance,

Tell wu-ftpd that the wtmp is in another place then the system wtmp.

_PATH_WTMP in src/pathnames.h

(You'll probably have to move the #define _PATH_WTMP outside the
#ifndef _PATH_UTMP)

I know this has been asked before, but I can't find the info in my mailbox.

Does anyone have a patch to fix the broken PASV connections that people
get using Mosaic or Netscape when connecting to my Solaris 2.3 wuftpd 2.4

I haven't set up wu-ftpd yet, however, I ran
into the same problem setting up the ftpd for
anonymous users under Solaris 2.4. I solved
it when I put copies of /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and
/etc/netconfig files in the ~ftp/etc directory
mode 444. Also, make sure you have the necessary
library files is ~ftp/usr/lib and that you used
mknod to create the files: zero tcp udp and ticotsord
in ~ftp/dev. If you do solve this for the
wu-ftpd under Solaris 2.4, I'd sure appreciate knowing.

And a couple of days earlier, I wrote:

:I'm running wu-ftpd-2.4 on a Sparc 1+ (SunOS 4.1.3). Ftpd is started
:from inetd with the command line "ftpd -l -a". Everything works
:properly except that I regularly get connections that seem to hang forever
:(at least for days) without being timed out. This seems to happen with
:about 3% of connections.
:
:The hung connections appear in several different TCP states, most
:commonly CLOSE_WAIT. Quite often, netstat shows a socket in LISTEN
:state, always corresponding to a zombie in the process table.

I received an answer suggesting that I use the -t and -T command line
options, but that didn't work.

I tried tracing the hung processes with 'trace -p <pid>'. In every case
(a) the trace causes the process to wake up and terminate, and (b) the
process turns out to have been hanging on a broken PASV connection.

So, to shorten a long story before it gets longer, I suspect I probably
need the same patch that Marc is asking for (but for SunOS 4.1.3). I'd
appreciate it if I could get a copy too, if it exists.

Thanks.

Subject: some answers; one question left.
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

In my previous post I had three questions with respect to setting up
wu-ftpd on a DEC Alpha running OSF/1 ver.2. Two of which I finally
found the answer to, one is still outstanding.

I am still unable to get command logging for anonymous users. I have
determined, through testing, that the problem is that OSF is not
printing syslogs to the log file after the chroot(). Note that the
syslog() function returns 0 meaning that it succeeded (but nothing
appears in the log file.) If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

(Since the xferlog does work I can write a replacement syslog()
function that writes to a file, just like the xferlog does, but I
would rather use the real syslog() if possible.)

I am giving the solution to the other problems in case it helps
others:

1) The "bib" directory was ignored. I had the macro set up
wrong in the pathnames.h file. I thought that it was working since
"dir" and "ls" worked when "ls" was in /bin, but it seems that ls is
hard coded into /bin while the "site exec" uses the info in
pathnames.h.

2) In order to get the group and user info to show up when
doing an ls on an OSF/1 box you need to have a directory called
/etc/sia with some files in it. This is not mentioned in the wu-ftpd
info, but was in the original OSF/1 ftpd man page.

Thanks,

Rich

Hi,
I'm new to this group so I hope I'm not asking a stupid
question. I want to create accounts so that guests can update
their directories by FTP (put,get,delete,etc.) . However, I don't
want these users to be able to change out of their home directory.
How is this done? Thanks for any help.

Robert

I think GNU Bison could work as well, or byacc too. (That is if you do not
have /usr/bin/yacc)

Can anyone identify the proper permission and ownership settings
for configuring anonymous ftp using wu-ftpd-2.4? I'm currently
running it on Digital Unix 3.2 (OSF/1), but would eventually like
to configure it on SCO Unix 3.2 (if I can ever get it to compile).

I can't find a concensus between the CERT anonymous ftp advisory,
the ISS anonymous ftp FAQ, and the ftpd(8) man page that
that came with the wu-ftpd distribution as to what
the ownership and file permissions should be in order to keep the
facility secure.

In particular, the man page states that the ftp home directory should be
owned by the user "ftp". The cert advisory and the FAQ (as well as
several other sources) state that if the home directory or any subdirectories
are owned by ftp, that opens up security loopholes. There are also
discrepencies between the recommended group ownership of the
various ftp directories, and their permissions.

I'm tending to stick with the CERT recommendations, but don't want to
circumvent any security features that WU built into this particular
ftp daemon.

Group control

Greeting,

I'm currently running wu-ftpd 2.4 on a rs6000 (aix 3.2.5). I'd like to grant
a particular group or class of anonymous users to access some subdirectories
under ~ftp, but I do not want other anonymous users to access them. What are
the steps needed to setup the guest ids for group control?. Thanks in
advance.

I have wu-ftpd 2.4 set up on a trio of NeXT computers, and on 2
Suns. For some stupid reason, anonymous ftp access to any of those
machines is denied except to hosts that are SPECIFICALLY listed in
ftpaccess. There is a line that says:

class anonymouses anonymous *

but it doesn't default to anonymous, so people on other sites thing
I'm blocking or firewalling them (a big ouch for cordial
relations).

This sounds easy enough to be in the FAQ, but I'm not seeing it,
there or in the O'Reilly. Any ideas?

Make sure that in your /etc/services file, ftp is on port 21 and ftp-data is

X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Greetings,

How can I tell if wu-ftpd 2.4 daemon reads the ftpaccess file when I issue
a command "kill -HUP inetd-process-id" ?

My /etc/inetd.conf file contains a line that read as:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/wuftp/etc/ftpd /usr/wuftp/etc/ftpd -a

Try removing any reference to '%U' or '%R' by the banner command that
you may have in the file ftpaccess. Worked for me, don't know why.

It only gets read when a new ftpd process is started. Your /etc/inetd.conf
file should read:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/wuftp/etc/ftpd ftpd -a

Hi,
I have wu-ftp up and running on my Indy w/v 5.2 of the OS.

I did run into one problem when I was compiling. in glob.c the constant
NCARGS was undefined. I defined it (it's 600 now) everything seems to
be working. My question is What _really_ is NCARGS. I kind-of got
that it had to do with the size of an mget expansion, but, What are the
units...?

Subject: Are 2 DAEMONs too much?
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

We were handling ftp on a SCO UNIX platform using the SCO UNIX ftpd.
When I tried to run WU-FTPD simultaneously ( giving the WU-FTPD a
different name in etc/services and etc/inetd.cnf), WU-FTPD says
"service not available".

But when I run WU-FTPD by itself under the name ftpd, it works.
Are 2 daemons too much or does it not like the name I gave it
(wuftpd).

Thanks

Hi,

some time ago I posted a script to this list for sending a report to the
ftpmaintainer with yesterdays usage and anonymous uploads, and make a
html-ized report.

In the mean time I learned perl and decided to rewrite the script in perl
in stead of bash/awk/grep/sed.

The result is available as

Are you sure you're not running the original SCO ftpd? Check the ordering
on your path and see if you might be fetching the old ftpd first. The
actual name of the program should be unimportant.

I am running wu-ftpd 2.4 on Linux 1.1.47. However, I am having one problem
with the
ls and dir commands. When I connect to my FTP server and type either ls -l
or dir it responds with '200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII
mode data connection for /bin/ls. 226 Transfer complete.', unfortunately
none of the directory structure is listed. When I do an ls, ftp responds
with '200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection
for /bin/ls. 226 Transfer complete.', which lists out the directory but with
no additional attributes like date and size of files. I have a /bin
directory in the filesystem where ftp chroot's to and ls is an executable
there. I believe the problem may have something to do with the dynamically
linked libraries ftpd uses. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, I'm sure. When I connect, it specifically tells me that I'm
running the "WU-FTPD" version.

What I'm really trying to ask is if it is possible to run 2 ftp
daemons from different ports.

Does anyone know?

Thanks

Yes, it is possible. Just make sure that you have both listed in your
services file, on different ports, with names that correspond to your
inetd.conf file. Here's an example of what I did on my Sun SPARC10 w/
Solaris 2.3 (yours is probably different):

/etc/ientd.conf:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd
wuftpd stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/ftpd ftpd

/etc/services:

ftp 21
ftp-data 20

wuftpd 6001
wuftpd-data 6000

After we were done testing, I just changed a couple lines to get wuftpd
running as ftp on 21.

I would like to know this also. It seems like wu-ftpd isnt recognizing
changes I make to the ftpaccess file. Since wu-ftpd is being loaded by
inetd, I would assume that it reads the configuration file every time
it is loaded. Is this correct?

I'm going to assume the list is broken or something and re-post
this question:

Why wouldn't wu-ftpd consult its own ftpaccess file?

I say this because said file says right in it: allow this host and
this host and this host to have real access, but that doesn't work

Said file says "class anonymouses anonymous *", but
people are constantly complaining that I don't allow anonymous ftp
access.

What is the deal? Somebody with at least half a brain (which is,
apparently, more than I have), please point out my error so this
^#&@ thing will work. Thanks

Carl

It may be as simple as whitespace. What type of whitespace appears between
each of the fields on the class line? Mine uses spaces only, no tabs. I
don't remember why I used spaces as I ordinarily would have used tabs, but
it may have been for that reason. My class lines look like:

class local real,anonymous *.cldx.com
class remote real,anonymous *

How are 'real' users treated? Do they get in OK, or are they turned away
as well. Check also the password checking restrictions you have in place.
If it says 'rfc822 enforce' they need to input a [email protected]
for the password.

WU-Ftpd works great once you get past the initial configuration bugaboos.

Honest.

I saw at one time on this list a person posted that they had download
directories.

something like

download /full/path/to/source /path/to/show/relative/to/chroot/ftp

If this is possible would someone elplain it to me since
I would like to have the users using diskspace from inside their accounts
for the sake of keeping my life sane.

PS. I know I would have to make an entry for FTP account user then.
Thanks again

Have you tried checking it out yourself what the exact error is ?

Anyway, besides selecting a class, you will probably have to set a limit
too.. like

limit anonymouses 100 Any /var/spool/ftpd/msgs/msg.toomany

HI

I have finally successfully compiled the wu-ftpd ported for SGI
and it works fine except the real users cannot log in.

The excerpts from my ftpaccess file and login screen looks like
this:

class local real *.evitech.fi

Like you, I am trying to get this working. However, I am having
problems. WHen I set a directory to 0750 and the guest user is in the
same group as the directory, I get a message that the directory doesn't
exist when I try and cd into it.

If you have learned anything, would you please let me know?

I'm configuring wu-ftpd 2.4 on DEC OSF version 3.2, and
can't get the ls command to work for anonymous ftp.
I have the ls command under ~/ftp/bin, with permission
111.

I can log in successfully using anonymous login, and can
cd and get/put files, but the ls command does not respond
with any files.

Can anyone suggest why this might be occuring?

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a guestgroup in my ftpaccess file. I have a user named
sany who's home directory is in ~ftp/guest/sany and who
has "/ftp/./guest/sany" as a home directory in the /etc/passwd file.

sany's group is "nobody" and so my line in ftpaccess says
guestgroup nobody

when i try to log on, the server tells me that 'guest priveleges can't be
set-login failed.' does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

thanks

robert

P.S. in an unrelated question, whenever i do an ls, i always see files beginning
with a "." (dot). is there a way to disable this?

My machine is running DEC OSF version 3.2. I have installed wu-ftpd 2.4 for
a while. I solved this problem by using the GNU 'ls' program instead.
I modified both the 'ls' program and wu-ftpd program a little so that
wu-ftpd uses 'ls' as a function instead of a individual program. I can
give you the executable program if you want. But you will not like this
idea and neither do I.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks Ronald & Co's. By the default there is not a /etc/shells
file in IRIX 5.3 and that was the problem.

Subject: AIX wu-ftpd v2.4 problems with groups
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I was not able to locate an archive for this list and I'm not
sure how active it is here, but I could *really* use some help
with authenticating groups on AIX v3.2.5.

Compiling wu-ftpd-2.4, I was only able to authenticate to a
user id's primary group; the other groups that the id is a
member of are ignored. I see the ftpd.c section that says:

/* AIX 3 lossage. Don't ask. It's undocumented. */

but I was hoping some one might have a work-around.

I've tried scenarios where I changed the setegid() call
directly before initgroups() to a setgid() and manually
issued a setgroups() based on setgrent()/getgrent()/endgrent()
loop with setgidx() and setegid(), and, although ugly, it worked
on one of our 3.2.5 machines, but now another box seems to ignore
the getgrent() calls completely.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dick

I don't know offhand about official archives, but we have it going back
to June 1994 in ftp://ftp.celestial.com/pub/mailing-lists/*/wu-ftpd.gz
where * is YYMM. The current month's archive isn't compressed with
gzip as it's ``live'' and updated as mail comes in.

Subject: wu-ftpd hangs-up with pcnfs5
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I've installed wuarchive-ftpd 2.4 on an Hp-UX workstation.

Everything work correctly. But, when called from a pc running Sun pc-nfs 5.1,
the connection hangs ip.

This happen with dos ftp client, with Windows client from Sun, with Winsock
public-domain clients (ftp, netscape) based on Sun pcnfs winsock.

I tried to connect with Software POrting & Archive centre for HP-UX in
Liverpool and Tolouse and I got the same results. hpux.csc.liv.ac.uk,
hpux.cict.fr (they run wuarchive-ftpd)

This make me sure that the problem is not in my installation of ftpd but is
intrinsic of the package (or of Sun pcnfs ??)

I found a mailing list entry talking of the same problem.... did any one found
a solution ?

This is the message I found:

If you find out anything, would you please let me know. I am having the
same troubles you are having. I have gcc; and, have been thinking about
trying to get the gnu libc ccompiled.

I recently logged into the Oracle ftp server and got the following output:

What I would like to know is how to include the date, the machine, and the
count of users out of a class to someone as they are logging in.
As you can see they are using wu-2.4, and I'm assuming that they haven't
made any changes to the source. Can anyone tell me how this was done?

Thanks in advance,

Derald

Subject: SCO Compile help
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Can anyone offer me some advice on how to compile the wu-2.4 archive on
SCO Unix version 3.2?

I'm not a C expert (but I play one on TV), and can't handle much
beyond a "build" or "make" command. I've successfully compiled this on OSF
(because their was a "build osf" option), and have tried compiling on
SCO with the "build gen" command, but get many, many errors. Does
anyone have a build or Makefile for SCO that they could send me?

If anyone would be willing to walk me through the process, I would
be most thankful.

They read the man pages; from ftpaccess(5):

message <path> {<when> {<class> ...}}
Define a file with <path> such that ftpd will display
the contents of the file to the user login time or upon
using the change working directory command. The <when>
parameter may be "LOGIN" or "CWD=<dir>". If <when> is
"CWD=<dir>", <dir> specifies the new default directory
which will trigger the notification.

The optional <class> specification allows the message
to be displayed only to members of a particular class.
More than one class may be specified.

There can be "magic cookies" in the readme file which
cause the ftp server to replace the cookie with a
specified text string:

%T local time
(form Thu Nov 15 17:12:42 1990)
%F free space in partition of CWD (kbytes)
[not supported on all systems]
%C current working directory
%E the maintainer's email address as defined
in ftpaccess
%R remote host name
%L local host name
%U username given at login time
%M maximum allowed number of users in this
class
%N current number of users in this class

The message will only be displayed once to avoid annoy-
ing the user. Remember that when MESSAGEs are trig-
gered by an anonymous FTP user, the <path> must be
relative to the base of the anonymous FTP directory
tree.

MIME-version: 1.0

Hello,

I have wu-ftp running on a DECstation 3100 running Ultrix 4.4. I added
the entry to inetd.conf. Now, I'm getting inconsistent telnet and ftp access
errors. Sometimes I can telnet to the machine, sometimes I can't. Most of the
time I can ftp to the machine, sometimes I get a network error. Any ideas?
Where should I look? What should my file protections be?

TIA

Hello. I am trying to use xferstats to report on activity in my xferlog.
When I try to run it, I am told "There was no data to process."
Yes, there is an xferlog file, and it is in the correct directory that is
referenced by xferstats (/usr/adm).
I would greatly appreciate any insight any of you may have.
Thanks,
Mike

You could grab our compiled sources from ftp.celestial.com:

1994/12/20 277,175 /pub/sco-ports/unix/wu-ftpd-2.4.tar.gz

You also need to get the README* files to see how to install stuff
from our system.

Question:

How does the daemon know to associate "wuftpd-data" with "wuftpd" if
the names were arbitrary? Is there some way I can specify this
relation?

Thanks,

Yes, it is possible. Just make sure that you have both listed in your
services file, on different ports, with names that correspond to your
inetd.conf file. Here's an example of what I did on my Sun SPARC10 w/
Solaris 2.3 (yours is probably different):

/etc/ientd.conf:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd
wuftpd stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/ftpd ftpd

/etc/services:

ftp 21
ftp-data 20

wuftpd 6001
wuftpd-data 6000

After we were done testing, I just changed a couple lines to get wuftpd
running as ftp on 21.

I'm not sure what you're asking. I think the -data extension is probably
defined in the relevant RFC. As far as how /etc/inetd.conf and
/etc/services get along, I think it goes something like this:
/etc/inetd.conf uses the name of the service in its file (in this
case, wuftpd) to associate with a name in /etc/services. Then, if the
service happens to be an ftp service (such as ftpd is), it will look for the
corresponding <servicename>-data service (in this case, wuftpd-data).
Probably FTP was designed to use two ports like this, and the ability to
associate the two names is built in to all RFC-compliant ftp daemons.

Subject: NFS mounting of ftpd seems to require root-write access !?!
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello,

I am installing wu-ftpd on a series of workstations, but am encountering a
problem, whereby it seems that the NFS-fs upon which ftpd lives must be
exported root-writable. This fs is _not_ the same fs where _PATH_PIDNAMES
& _PATH_XFERLOG are pointing... to be sure, those are on a local fs, and
certainly certainly writable. The ill behavior is noted promptly upon
connecting to the ftpd, in that banner messages are not displayed, and more
significantly, the user is falsely denied access.

Exporting the fs where ftpd (and it's config files) live root-writable
fixes the problem completly (near as i can tell) when dealing with a
wu-ftpd compiled-for-&-exported-from-&-to an HPUX host. The same scenario
also being true for SunOS. Furthermore, i don't see as where that NFS fs
ever gets written-to by root on behalf of ftpd, so it shouldn't need to be
root-writable, not to mention that we really don't want to export it that
way!

In the FIXES file, i see that v2.1e fixed a problem with "NFS and server
running as root"... which may or (more likely) may not be the problem i'm
seeing. Ftpd should run as root (configurable in inetd.conf), right?

Certainly this must have been encountered previously, so _thanks_ for
your help, and _apologies_ for dredging up old problems that might be
addressed in an FAQ file that i haven't yet found.

I'm working with "Version wu-2.4(6)".

Karl,

I have set up wu-ftp (2.4) on some machines running Solaris 2.4 in which I use an
NFS mounted drive that contains the ftp home directory. However, I have installed
wu-ftpd on each machine individually. Basically all this means is that my config
files and the binary live locally on each machine, which works fine for me. So
while this might not be the solution you were looking for, it is how I got it
to work. Oh yea, you'll want to make sure that there is a user account (ftp)
accessable from all of your machines, that could be the source of your problems
as well. I use a Solaris utility called rdist(1) to update my config files and
my password and shadow files. rdist allows you distribute select files from a
central server to as many clients as you wish. (Be careful with this utility!).

Good Luck,

Derald

You need to copy ftp.h from the wu-ftpd software to /usr/include/arpa/.

When you compile, you using to ftp.h from Sun and wu has had define

Subject: Change USER/PASS mechanism in wu-ftpd
Content-Type: text
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello from a enwcomer to the list!

I have an extremely strange request that will make some shake their heads...

For one of our servers here we need to change wu-ftpd to cease using
the regular /etc/passwd based authorization. Instead it has to be adapted
and changed to be linked with a proprietary library that... *gasp* gets
its authorization information from *whimper* an IBM mainframe running VM.

Luckily the library is a nice opaque blackbox with one function that
returns a boolean value based on correct or incorrect login/password pairs.

Basically
int check(char *user, char *pass)
{
if(rightpasswd)
return 1;
else
return 0;
}

(Yes, the PW is encrypted en-route, so line snooping isn't possible ;-> At
least not between the ftpd machine and the VM host)

The question now, after browsing through the source, which would the most
logical place be, to fit in that source without causing a cascade of problems
peeking up somewhere else?

My guess was somewhere in ftpcmd.c, but at second glance I'm not so sure
anymore.

Thanks for any advice or pointers in advance!

Regards
Mike

Hi,

We are using wu-ftpd ver 2.4 on an SCO Unix 3.2.4 box.
All is fine except for 1 strange thing. When users cd
to pub the server will sit there for 1 to 3 minutes
before it actually changes directory. It appears to
be hung and users complain of this all the time.
You can change dir to anywhere else but not /pub.
Has anyone ever seen this before?
Any help sure will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

I've setup wu-ftp on a Sparc20 running Solaris 2.4.

I'm starting wu-ftp with the -l -t600 option on the command line.

In the ftpaccess file, I would like to active logging of all
transfer. So I put the following line in that file:

log transfer anonymous inbound,outbound

But the file xferlog is always 0 butes!

Here's the protection xferlog

-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Jun 15 09:12 xferlog

What is the problem ?

I also configured a incoming directory and I would like to use
the path-filter option to refused upload of file with weird character
like starting with a . or ..
So in the ftpaccess file, I did defined the following :

path-filter anon /etc/msg.filter ^[-A-Za-z0-9\.\_]*$ ^\.^\-^\_

But it doesn't do what I want (prevent upload of file starting with . - _

Again, what is wrong ?

Thanks's a lot!

I've recently installed wu-ftpd 2.4 on our Alphabox running OSF/1 3.2.

I have doubdle checked the installation and am using the basic ftpaccess
file handed out in the distribution (with banner and email options added).

Anonymous ftp works fine, but users keep getting "Login failure" when
they use their personal account names and passwords. I cannot find any
reference to this problem in the program install instructions nor
"Managing Internet Information Services".

Any help greatly appreciated.

I have

^

Make that

-rw------- root root

or

-rw-r--r-- root root

I have

path-filter anonymous /etc/paths.msg ^[-A-Za-z0-9\._]*$ ^\. ^-
^^^^^^

Looks like some misspellings to me.

Dear wu-ftpd admins.

I'm trying to make wu-ftpd work, but it stops with the message:

Jun 16 13:55:36 james ftpd[276]: connection from butler [130.226.64.29]

I have tried both Version wu-2.4(3) and Version wu-2.4(1).

The daemon is actually running because I can make it deny connections
without crashing:

Can someone please help?

Facts:

wu-ftpd is installed on a IPC called james running SunOS 4.1.3_U1
without any patches. It is running yp and is able to use DNS
(/etc/resolv.conf exists).
It is compiled with gcc-2.6.3.
It is installed in /pack/ftpd
The password entry of ftp is:
ftp:*:xxx:yyy:Anonymous FTP:/home/ftp:/bin/false
My pathnames.h in src differs in the following ways:
james% diff my_pathnames.h pathnames.h.orig

My Makefile in the wu-ftpd-2.4 source direcory differs from the orig
in the following ways:

The entry in my /etc/inetd.conf is
ftp stream tcp nowait root /pack/ftpd/etc/ftpd ftpd

My /etc/ftpusers and /etc/ftpgroups are the default ones. (I have
tried some experiments with the contents of the files, but without any
result)

My /pack/ftpd/etc/ftpaccess contains:

My /etc/ftpd/etc/ftpconversions and /etc/ftpd/etc/ftphosts are empty.
(I have tried some experiments with the contents of the files, but
without any result)

I have rebooted the machine.

Subject: How to disable wuftpd verifying hostname?
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>; from "[email protected]" at Jun 17, 95 12:12 (midnight)
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Without a /etc/ftphost, most people with name server can access my ftp site
via anonymous ftp. One of my friend lost (partially?) name server and fail to
access my ftp site. I got many error messages on my syslog file:
wu.ftpd[13541]: warning: can't verify hostname: gethostbyname(port2.hargray.com) failed
wu.ftpd[13541]: refused connect from 166.82.145.2
I think "hargray" is some kind of internet provider.
Under nslookup, my name server can't find the ip address of port2.hargray.com.
but it can find port2.hargray.com if I give it 166.82.145.2. Name server
problem?

As a workaround, I put his address and IP in my name server and then he
is able to access my ftp site. Any better solution?

If I put a line in /etc/ftphosts:
allow * *
It became worse, some hosts which are in my name server are refused for
anonymous ftp after typing ftp at login prompt.

Thanks!

I found the solution to my problem of not being able to log the
commands of anonymous users.

According to John Kohl ([email protected]) the syslog() that comes with
OSF must see the /dev/log file in order to function. Since it can not
see this file after the chroot() the logging no longer occurs. To fix
the problem I got, compiled, and linked in a copy of the BSD syslog().
This solved the problem.

MIME-version: 1.0

X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Greetings:

I am seeking assistance in the compilation of wu-ftpd2.4 for my
linux system, version 1.2.8, using gcc 2.6.3. The problem I am having
occurs in the compile of ftpcmd.y as follows:

----------------------------
ftpcmd.y: In function `yyparse':
ftpcmd.y:371: `cmdtab' undeclared (first use this function)
ftpcmd.y:371: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
ftpcmd.y:371: for each function it appears in.)
ftpcmd.y:383: `sitetab' undeclared (first use this function)
ftpcmd.y: At top level:
ftpcmd.y:885: `cmdtab' used prior to declaration
ftpcmd.y:936: `sitetab' used prior to declaration
ftpcmd.y:1520: warning: type mismatch with previous external decl
ftpcmd.y:683: warning: previous external decl of `print_groups'
ftpcmd.y:1520: warning: type mismatch with previous implicit declaration
ftpcmd.y:683: warning: previous implicit declaration of `print_groups'
ftpcmd.y:1520: warning: `print_groups' was previously implicitly declared to return `int'
make: *** [ftpcmd.o] Error 1
-----------------------------

I have read in the INSTALL file that I might require libc4.3.3, but
I don't seem to have that file on my system. Is this the problem?
If so, where can I get that file?

I would appreciate greatly any suggestions. I've recently installed
shadow on my system, and ftpd is broken until I can fix this.

Thanks.

I'm configuring wu-ftpd.4.2 for SCO Unix 3.2, and am getting the
following message when using the "upload" keyword in the ftpaccess
file:

ftp> put file1
220 PORT command successful.
550 chown: no such file or directory.

The file is transferred okay, except the ownership isn't changed to root.
This is the upload line from the ftpaccess file.

upload /home/ftp /group1 yes root group1 0600 nodirs

Any ideas on where to look for the source of this trouble?

I saw a while back that someone had hacked virtual hosts into the code.
Would someone give me a pointer as to where that might be...
I would really like to use this code. I also need to use two totally
different sub trees please tell me how.

What I did was I added a switch to override the ~ftp dir. It's up to
you to arrange to have different copies of ftpd run for each virtual
host, each with a different ~ftp dir.

It's in ftp:://israel.nysernet.org/ftpd

Hi everybody!

I have been searching high and low for a solution like this:

That I can offer my users a ftp://ftp.dataphone.se/pub/users/$user directory.

In other words that the user can create a $home/ftp directory, and share
some of his files, for others to access with anonymous ftp.

I have tried to consult other Internet Providers, but they dont want to
let go of the secret.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I tried to run the wu-ftpd on an IBM RS/6000 machine running AIX 3.2.5. This
works OK for anonymous users and for real users belonging to one group. But if
a real user belongs to more groups and ftp's to the ftp server he can't get
into directories who belong to a group he is member of. Although this is
possible with telnet and the with the standard ftpd.

Somehow the ftpd only checks the group mentioned in the passwd file, and
doesn't check the group file to see if the user belongs to more groups.

Any suggestions?

One solution is as follows:

When a user needs an outgoing FTP directory,
we create one within the chroot()'ed area
for them. The /etc/passwd file that wuftp
sees contains a reference to that user and
their directory relative to the chroot() root,
i.e., /pub/users/jim. The user is responsible
for moving the files to this area, and policy
dictates that only outgoing files may go here
(incoming is handled completely differently).

e.g.:
====
Real /etc/passwd entry:
jim:SoMeCrYptOfLd:1011:100:Jim Someone:/diska/home/jim:/bin/csh

$FTPROOT/etc/passwd entry:
jim:*:1011:100:Jim Someone:/pub/users/jim:/bin/sh

This is somewhat inconvenient (compared to making
a directory in the home filesystem automagically FTP-able),
but considerably more secure.

As a rule of thumb, we also don't make the $FTPROOT filesystem
available via NFS, for added user inconvenience and
greater security.

The dir command works probably 8 out of 10 times for anonymous ftp users.
Most of the time it gives the correct directory listing, but occasionally it
gives no output as if it was an empty directory. Anyone seen anything like
this before or have any ideas?

Thanks,

Subject: Timeout
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi,

some of our customers have very slow (ISDN) connection to us. It happens
very often that no transmission is done for 60 seconds. Our TCP/IP router
closes the connection because we pay for the time (not for the transmitted bytes)
we are connected to Internet. After a while the ftpd server does something that
makes the router to activate the connection again. Because the remote side is still
not ready to read the connection will timeout and the router closes the connection thus
we have unnecessary payed for the dialing and for the time we were connected to
Internet.

Does anybody know a solution to prevent the ftpd server to activate the connection ?

I have wu-ftpd 2.4 on a Sparc10 running Solaris 2.3. All users can initiate
a PASV transfer except anonymous. The line that is failing is:
pdata = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
in the passive() function in src/ftpd.c. The error is:
"425 Can't open passive connection: Permission denied."
I've checked all the man pages to identify the permissions problems, but
nothing has fixed it yet. Does anyone have a similar problem or the
solution? Maybe a patch to Solaris 2.3 that I haven't applied?

Thanks

Subject: wu-ftpd not writing to xferlog
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

For some reason, wu-ftpd is not writing to xferlog. I'm wondering what
I've overlooked, here's what I know:

In my ftpaccess file, I have the following line:

log transfer real guests anonymouses inbound,outbound

Here's the permissions for /var/adm/xferlog:

0 -rw-rw---- 1 root sys 0 May 4 05:09 xferlog

I tried adding ftp to the sys group in /etc/group, but this doesn't seem
to work either.

I'm running (wu-)ftpd out of inetd, if that makes any difference...

Any clues?

Thanks in advance....

In reply to Wallace Winfrey's problem of ftpd not writing to xferlog, it
looks like some things are missing from the appropriate line in his ftpaccess;
his line reads

log transfer real guests anonymouses inbound,outbound

It should read:

log transfers real,guest,anonymous inbound,outbound

i.e., the commas are missing and two of the arguments are misspelled.

I hope this helps.

While I am at it, I also experienced a problem with ftpd not writing to xferlog
when the ftpaccess file was disabled and the switches -io were used; i.e.,
the call to fptd in inetd.conf was

ftpd -Aio

Anyone have any ideas on this?

-> B.G. Mahesh | Email: [email protected]

I've included below a small script that I use to truncate. I run it
through at cron job at midnight on the first of the month. (As the month turns
to a new one.)
My new logfile is datestamped, as in:

-rw------- 1 root daemon 232596 Feb 24 09:34 xferlog.to.02-01-95
-rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 138523 Mar 1 14:03 xferlog.to.03-01-95
-rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 175593 Apr 1 00:00 xferlog.to.04-01-95
-rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 59044 May 1 00:00 xferlog.to.05-01-95
-rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 57326 Jun 1 00:00 xferlog.to.06-01-95

This makes it a BIT strange, since something like January is "up to"
Feb 1st, but other than that, it's a decent naming scheme, as it's generated
by the 'date' command, and you could run it every night if you wanted.
(Anyone know how to tell cron "run this on the LAST day of the
month?") That would be nice, but sometimes it's the 30th, or 31st, or 28th, or
29th! I've not figured it out, yet. :-(

Anyway, it's fairly basic, but it sends a note via email to the
ftp-admin alias (currently me) and tells me where it's stashed the new file.
It also tests to make sure the copy was successful. If not, you get a
different message in your mailbox.

I'll eventually expand it to auto-digest and report the logs, rather
than asking me to do it, but I'm still learning Steven Nemetz's 'iisstat'
program. I got it yesterday, and it looks FANTASTIC! Check it out at:

ftp://ftp.support.lotus.com/pub/utils/InternetServices/iisstat/iisstat.html

Hope this helps!

It did. But just so I don't appear as a crappy copy editor, I was
referencing ORA's _Managing Internet Information Services_. In their section
on wu-ftpd, p. 86, they give this syntax:

log transfer type [type ...] direction [,direction]
^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^
(no s) (comma not included in syntax)

apparently this is either a typo or reflective of the version of wu-ftpd
they were working with when this was written.

next time i'll read the man pages more thoroughly:

log transfers <typelist> <directions>

..<typelist> is a comma-separated list of any of the keywords
"anonymous", "guest" and "real".

thanks for your help, and watch out for technical documentation typos!

Subject: Can't create data socket problem
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL0]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm trying to set up wu-ftpd on a Solaris 2.4 system. Things
seem to work fine when logged in as a regular user. Whenever
I try to log in as anonymous or guest, I get in fine also.
However, whenever I try to "get" a file I get the following
error:
ftp> get Filter
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number.

Also, whenever I do an "ls" command, I get the same problem.
I've heard that this is because my ls command has not been
statically linked. Does this somehow contribute to the error
I get when I do the "get" command. Thanks in advance for
any help.

Subject: ls problem
X-Mailer: Microsoft Mail V3.0
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello ...

I am running wu-ftpd 2.4 on Linux 1.2.10. However, I am having one
problem with the ls command. When I connect to my FTP server and type
either ls -l or dir it responds with '200 PORT command successful. 150
Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls. 226 Transfer complete.',
unfortunately none of the directory structure is listed. When I do an
ls, ftp responds with '200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII
mode data connection for /bin/ls. 226 Transfer complete.', which lists
out the directory but with no additional attributes like date and size of
files. I have a /bin directory in the filesystem where ftp chroot's to
and ls is an executable there. I believe the problem may have something
to do with the dynamically linked libraries ftpd uses. Any help would be
appreciated.

Make the 'tcp' device and the 'zero' device in ~ftp/dev

Easily fixed: follow the instructions in the Solaris man page for
ftpd and the ls problem will go away. I had the same problem until I
read the instructions :-)

The non-static link won't matter when there is a ~ftp/lib directory.

Subject: wu-ftpd on an SGI
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL8]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi,

I'm trying to install wu-ftpd-2.4 on an Indy running IRIX 5.2, but
I'm having trouble with "ls". If I go in as anonymous ftp and do an
ls then it lists the files, if I do a "dir" or "ls -l" then I get nothing
and will continue to get nothing from then on. If I do a "cd" into a
known directory the command succeeds. At first I thought that it was
because "ls" uses shared files, so I compiled my own static ls and put
it in place, still no change. Also if I ftp from within the same machine
then ls does not work at all. Does anyone know why I'm having this problem.
I've read all the FAQ's and IRIX ftp man pages but nothing seems to help.

Finally, in order to compile wu-fptd I had to set an environment variable
"SGI_IRIX4", otherwise it would not compile. It also complained at link
time about a "gettxt" undefined. I had to comment it out to compile. Is
this the source of my problem? It doesn't seem likely. Anyways any guidance
I can get would be greatly appreciated.

>From the IRIX ftp man page:

~ftp/bin Make this directory owned by the super-user and unwritable by
anyone (mode 555). The program ls(1) must be present to sup-
port the list commands. This program should have mode 111.

~ftp/lib Make this directory own by the super-user and unwritable by
anyone (mode 555). In order for ls to run, the files
/lib/rld and /lib/libc.so.1 must be copied into lib. Rld and
libc.so.1 should be readable and executable by everyone (mode 555).

Hope this helps. You can also get an inst-able port of wu-ftpd for IRIX
5.3 (dunno if it'll run under 5.2) from cb-iris.stanford.edu/pub/5.3/

I have had problems with ls on 5.2 too. I changed the ls from 5.2 to an older
( and bigger) IRIX ls Version (4.05 or 5.1.1 ?) - after this everything works.

Hope that helps, Mischa

HI

After hours of work getting the wu-ftpd finally running on IRIX 5.3
it seems to be ok but the dir, ls and mget commands woes. When giving
mget command from a DOS machine the wu-ftpd promptly replies that
name expansion failed if I use any wild cards and the dir (ls) just
returns 4 or 8 first filenames. Same happens from MS-Windows based
ftp client. The version is wu-2.4(8) and I do have the shared libraries
in the right directory. So, does anyone know the solution/cause for
such a behaviour??

Erik

Hi all-

I was looking for a FAQ to search for this problem, but was unable to
locate one. Does a FAQ exist? Anyway, we're having a strange problem on our
site with WU-ftpd 2.4(8) on a Solaris 2.4 box. It seems it doesn't always
exit when an anon user ends his/her session. As a result, we often end up
refusing anonymous connections, because they've hit their limit. Has anyone
seen this problem before?

Thanks

Oh yes, I have the same problem here. I also run Solaris 2.4 patched with all recomended patches from SUN. I haven't tried the new beta that's around tho, so I'm not sure if it's fixed in it. If anyone know how to fix it, please help us :-).

We've seen it here as well on Alphas (DEC OSF/1) and DECstations (Ultrix).
I tracked it down to ftpd getting stuck in accept(). Here's what I did:

I had a similar problem except with IRIX 5.2. I found what I think
is the #def for the expansion size. Look in glob.c in the src directory.
There is a variable NCARGS. In my distribution it was referenced but not
defined so I made one. #define NCARGS (600). I did a little roaching around
to try to determine what units this represents, but, no luck so I just made
it large. I tried a smaller value and wu-ftpd would only expand some
of the mget. Larger values seemed to allow for more file name expansion
space. Hope this helps.

What kind of problem would cause behavior like this? Could it be
a configuration issue on his end? Server load on our end? Any information
would be appreciated.

We had a similar problem. We have a private slip line to our
provider and we were getting lots of speed problems, usually one way.

The problem turned out to be the hardware that was connected to one
of the modems - it wasn't keeping up, so timeouts galore.

Hope this helps,
Keith.

My apologies if this is a FAQ - it's not in the documentation (or the code)
anywhere, and I've just joined the list. I want to get wu-archive ftpd
running under OSF/1 C2 security. Before I do the necessary porting, I just
wanted to know if anyone else has already done it. Please drop me a line if
you have...

What kind of a serial link is [s]*he on? PPP? SLIP? Are any similar
problems occuring on this link (14.4 dialup I assume, given the transfer
speed and your business) on other connections?

If no one else is seeing similar behaviour on your end, I would look to
the serial link on the other end.

This may be *completely* unrelated, but there was a prolonged thread
recently on the Linux networking list re PPP links that showed similar
symptoms. All of it was related to Van Jacobsen compression on PPP links.
Mismatch and/or buggy software between this fellow and his ISP could cause
some of this. This gets into the client software, the ISP's terminal
server, etc. and can be a bit of a can of worms to sort out.

Good luck with it...

Well, I'll answer my own question for the record, since I didn't hear back.
It turns out that the code is mostly there, under the "SecureWare" define
in ftpd.c. So to make it work under OSF with C2, just add this somewhere
near the top of ftpd.c:

#ifdef MUN /* added by [email protected] 95.06.27 */
#ifdef OSF_C2
#include <sys/security.h>
#include <prot.h>
#define SecureWare
#endif /* OSF_C2 */
#endif /* MUN */

and in the Makefile add

-DMUN -DOSF_C2 to CFLAGS,
and -lsecurity to the link line for ftpd.

Caveat: I haven't extensively tested this yet.

Could someone please point me to a document describing how to

downloaded the tar file but the documentation is rather sparse.

Thanks.

Hi Rob,

I've been looking for a solution as to how to handle an incoming ftp directory
for users but no one has been able to answer me yet. I would like a user to
have chrooted ftp access (preferably they would be in the guest group) and
be able to deposit files. I would really appreciate any help or even a
pointer in the right direction.

Thanks

Robert

I have wu-ftpd-2.4 installed on a Sparc 20 running Solaris 2.4, but I can't
seem to get "dir" to work at all. I have even statically compiled the gnu
version of ls and put this in ~ftp/bin. ls works fine, but I get nothing from
dir.
Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Marcel

Folks-

Here is what I do on my system: I need to offer the ability for some people
outside our local network to ftp files to and from our server. We also offer
anonymous ftp. We don't allow telnet or rlogin into the server. Here is
how we set it up:

One time, we set up the following:

Add a new group 'ftpusers' to /etc/group:

ftpusers::900:

Add the same group to the /etc/group file in the chroot'd ftp area (on my
system this is the file /home/ftp/etc/group):

ftpusers:*:900:

Compile the program ftponly and put it in /bin. ftponly is a small program
that simply prints out a warning banner and quits. The entire source is:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
printf("\n"
"*** \n"
"*** Your account is authorized for FTP access only.\n"
"*** \n"
"\n");
exit(0);
}

Add ftponly to the list of valid shells, in /etc/shells:

/bin/ftponly

Add/Modify the ftpaccess file to support guest uses. Here are my examples,
the first line must be verbatim, the others are based on your tastes. You
might choose other options for logging and allowed operations for the extern
group as well...

guestgroup ftpusers
class extern guest *
limit extern -1 Any /var/ftpd/msgs/msg.toomany
message /var/ftpd/msgs/welcome.msg login extern

To add a user:

The user, say 'fido', is added to /etc/passwd as follows:

fido:*:901:900:Fido D. Dawg:/home/ftp/./home/fido:/bin/ftponly

where 901 is an new user number and 900 is the group 'ftpusers'.
Then a password is given to 'fido'.

In the ftp chroot area, (on my system /home/ftp), an entry is put in
/home/ftp/etc/passwd:

fido:*:901:900:Fido D. Dawg:/home/fido:

In the ftp chroot area, the directories are created, chown'd and chmod'd
to the appropriate user, group and access privledges. Here is a listing
part of a sample tree:

/home/ftp:
dr-xr-x--x 6 root ftpusers 1024 Jun 20 15:55 home/

/home/ftp/home:
drwxr-xr-x 2 fido ftpusers 1024 Jun 20 15:56 fido/
drwx------ 2 kitty ftpusers 1024 Jun 27 15:31 kitty/

Note that the difference between fido's and kitty's directories is that
fido's is readable by the rest of the world (for example, the server
on the same machine has a symbolic link into fido's directory - this allows
fido to use ftp to maintain his web pages). Kitty's, on the other hand,
is the only one that can get at the kitty directory.

I had a similar problem, but I was intalling on Solaris 2.3. The
problem turned out to be the Solaris documentation had a typo when
specifying which shared libraries to copy into the ~ftp/lib directory.
The library it was specifying didn't exist, but there was a library
in /lib that came close to matching the name except for two transposed
characters. Anyways once I copied in the slightly different library
in place everything worked fine. Again, this was on version 2.3, Solaris
2.4 could have come it with that typo fixed.

Hope this helps.

Did you make a *zero* device in the /ftp/dev device directory?

Hello all,

I have a small FTP site running 2.4 on Linux. Running very WELL
(IMHO). The question I have is what is the BEST way to start
mirroring faculities between 2 or more sites?

Is there scripts that handle that sort of thing, or do you run
CRONTABS? I've been checking around and so far haven't found ANY
info concerning this.. Thanks in advance....

I recently installed wu-ftpd 2.4 on our DEC Alphabox (OSF/1 3.2). It
allows user "anonymous" to login, but *not* real users. I'll get as far
as typing in my username and password only to have the message "Login
incorrect" appear.

I have search the archives of this list and found one thread that was
*exactly* this problem. The replies centered around making sure that your
the user's shell was in /etc/shells. I have verified that my shell is
indeed in the /etc/shells file. There were no other suggestions in the
archives regarding this problem.

Likewise, a search of DEC's WWW site and tech support database yeilded
nothing.

At this point I'm grasping at straws. Any help is appreciated.

You might want to check and make sure that you are not using enhanced
security....that's where I got into trouble once. I had to go back and
change the source file that contained (file name escapes me now) this info.
By default wuftpd does not support any of the enhanced security modes.

Hope this helps,

Darren

I've found the new O'Reilly book--Managing Internet Information

Mark,

Thanks for the tips on setting up chrooted guest accounts. I've followed your
instructions almost explicitly and i'm still having problems. When i log in
as a guest, i'm chrooted alright, but i don't get the message that ftponly
is supposed to print, and i can't "put" any files. i can mkdir alright.
anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Robert

Subject: multiple domains ?
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Ok, I've been lurking awhile and haven't seen any mention of it, so
I'll ask:

With all the hoopla about virtual domains on one server in the WWW
arena, has anyone created a virtual domained ftp area? By this I mean
if you have a machine that responds to ftp.abc.com and ftp.xyz.com, is
it possible to chroot to two separate areas depending on the domain?
I've accomplished this with mail and WWW, but I haven't been able to
do it with ftp.

I've looked at the code and I don't think it would be too difficult to
add a couple of directives to the config file, but I don't have the
time to do it myself... Has anyone done this and I've just missed
something simple in the docs?

Thanks in advance,

Bret Schuhmacher

I've done this. If you'd like the code let me know and I'll mail it to you.
If I get enough responses I'll put it up on our ftp site.

No, you only see that message if you actually try to log-in (console, telnet,
rlogin, etc) as that account on the system. If you want a log-in message for
those accounts, see the message facility in ftpaccess. Something like:

message /var/ftpd/msgs/hello-ftp-only-folks login extern

Where the file /var/ftpd/msgs/hello-ftp-only-folks has some nice welcome
message in it.

OOOOPS! I forgot the upload enties you have to add, one per account:

upload /home/ftp /home/fido yes fido ftpusers 0644 dirs
upload /home/ftp /home/kitty yes kitty ftpusers 0600 dirs
upload /home/ftp * no

Again, the difference 'tween fido and kitty is that we want everything fido
uploads to be visible, but kitty's files are to be shielded from view.

Betcha got a lot of response! Is it up on your ftp site yet? ;-) In any
case, I, too, would like to get a peek at how you implemented this.

Wierd, the first time I mentioned it on the list, no even one person asked.
This time there were tons. It's up on ftp.njcc.com/pub/njccc.

Basically you just add one line per virtual domain to the ftpaccess file.
I think the patch is mainly about 20 lines or so. The rest of the patch
updates the 50 makefiles.

See my posting yesterday about getting wu-ftpd to work on OSF under C2.
One other thing that I discovered you need to do is chnage the strcmp
of the encrypted passwords to a strncmp, since crypt will only return
the first portion of the encrypted string. (This is in ftpd.) This
and the minor change I posted yesterday will let it work fine under
DEC OSF/1 3.2 on an Alpha.

Subject: need help setting up ftp server
Content-Type: text
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'd like to setup an ftp server that will allow users that have a
certain shell or belong to a certain group (/etc/group) to have ftp
access to the machine but in a restricted (chroot'd) environment.

I'd like the users to login using their own username and password.
Users must still be able to login to the server via telnet, etc
using the same username and password combination.
I'm not sure this can be done...if it can't I'll have to go with
an anonymous ftp...but I having problems with anonymous ftp also:

When logging in as anonymous I get:
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number.
ftp> get README
local: README remote: README
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number.

OS: Sequent DYNIX/ptx 2.1.x with ptx/TCP/IP V2.4.4
ftpd version: Version wu-2.4(4)
/etc/passwd: ftp:x:997:99:ftp:/ftp:/bin/false

I've followed the instructions for anonymous ftp from my vendor.
Including creating ~ftp/dev/tcp
I think the problem may be related to the socket type.
Vendor's ftpd uses tli...and works fine w/anonymous ftp.

/etc/inetd.conf:
#ftp tli tcp nowait root /usr/etc/tcpd ftpd -t3600 -l
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/tcpd /usr/local/etc/ftpd -d - l
Here's my ftpaccess just in case:
email [email protected]
loginfails 3
guestgroup ftpguest
class all real,guest,anonymous *
limit all 10 Any /etc/msgs/msg.dead
readme README* login
readme README* cwd=*
banner /usr/local/etc/ftp.issue
compress yes local remote
tar yes local remote
log commands anonymous,guest,real
log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound
shutdown /etc/shutmsg
delete no real,guest,anonymous
overwrite no real,guest,anonymous
chmod no real,guest,anonymous
rename no real,guest,anonymous
upload /ftp/incoming yes

What am I missing?
I even tried making ~ftp = / for a brief moment w/anonymous ftp
and that worked fine.

Any suggestions?

Subject: Follow-up: wu-ftpd 2.4 not allowing real users to login

Thanks to a recent post, I was able to get WU-FTPD 2.4 working for both
anonymous and real logins with DEC Alpha OSF/1 3.2. (Thanks AD).

I did come across another problem however.

After I successfully logged into several real user account using wu-ftpd,
I received a phone call from a user who could not use FTP. It was
curious, but sure enough, using that *particular* user's account I
*couldn't* access our FTP server.

After a few attempts to figure it out, I hit upon a solution: the user's
password was longer than 8 characters.

I have been told that a "max password length" can be set in OSF/1. My
suspicion is that OSF/1 is using/not using passwords of more than length 8
and the WU ftpd is not using/using characters beyond the eighth position when
it does it's negotiation.

Regards,
Ed

I found out (almost the hard way ;-) that I needed to set my shadow library
here to accept passwords > 8 chars. At the moment I have a > 8 char password,
and I can't login to the wu-ftpd server.

I have been looking through the source to find out where the limit of 8
in wu-fptd comes from, but I couldn't find it.

In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

What is the cause of the 8 character limit on passwords?

Recap: I've just installed wu-ftpd 2.4 on our DEC Alpha OSF/1 3.2 system with
C2 security enhancements. The max password length is 10. Users who have
passwords of length greater than 8 cannot use the WU ftpd programs, they get
"Login incorrect".

There was a post about a year ago which stated "Most ftp clients chop it
[password] at 8...". I am absolutely sure that the FTP client I'm using does
not do this since it works with the normal OSF/1 ftpd (indeed if "most
clients" did truncate passwords, I would be shocked!).

The same post also included that there was no problem with the server
(wu-ftpd 2.4) truncating passwords (though there's no mention of what type of
security the system the poster was using and whether it allowed password
longer than 8 characters). This seems reasonable to me and additionally I
cannot find the code in the ftpd.c program where the password would be
truncated.

So, based on my assumptions, if the FTP client is not truncating the password
and the WU ftpd (2.4) is not truncating the password, what the heck is
causing the password length to prevent use of WU ftpd 2.4?

Any help appreciated. Are my assumptions incorrect?

I think it is crypt() itself - the DES encryption library routine. I
think it cuts more than 8 characters.

1) Have you got the loopback? look by 'ifconfig', if loopback exist
you'll see something like:

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:2000 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:o errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0

or

2) your IP is aa.ab.da.fe, your name is "xxyyzz" BUT in /etc/hosts there's
aa.ab.da.MK xxyyzz

I put that following post in the newsgroup comp.unix.osf.osf1 and received a
solution to my problem from one of the persons there. He wrote to me that the
crypt() function is the cause of the 8 character limit in that 8 characters
is all it processes. Since C2 security allows longer passwords, crypt is
inadequate here. He further mentioned an (undocumented) routine named
"bigcrypt" (part of prot.h) which does successive calls to the encryption
routines for different sections of a longer password. I replaced the crypt()
call with the bigcrypt() call and it seems to be working now.

Is there a developer's address for WU-FTPD? Or is posting to this forum
enough to let the developers know about this change?

Many thanks to all those who replied from here as well.

Ed Murphy

P.S. And a special thanks to the poster in the OSF/1 newsgroup!

shame, egg+face...

I stupidly watched all of those "anon users can't ls" messages go
by and I didn't read them. Now I seem to have this problem.
Could someone summarize this for me? I am on an INDY w/ IRIX 5.2.
and ls runs but does not return any listing to the user.

Also, is there an archive site for messages? I looked at the
listserve-you-are-subscribed-auto-mail thing and there was
no mention of it.

Maybe you read the man-page from ftpd on the SGI. I think the only thing
I had to add was a softlink from ~/lib to ~/usr/lib. The linker only
searches /usr/lib, not /lib.

I am still having problems getting DIR to work for anonymous users. I have
wu-ftpd-2.4 installed on a Sparc 20 running Solaris 2.4. I have a statically
compiled version of ls in ~ftp/bin AND all the necessary libraries in
~ftp/usr/lib - even though I shouldn't need these. I also have zero and tcp
in ~ftp/dev.

dir works for real usrs, and just plain ls works for real and anonymous users.
Everything else seems to work fine for both as well. I just can't get dir to
work for anonymous users!

As far as I can tell and from what I've seen in the documentation, things
should work - BUT they don't! Anyone have any advice? ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Do you have udp and ticotsord devices ~ftp/dev? They are required for 2.4...

Good Luck.

Subject: MKDIR within /incoming
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I have set up /etc/ftpaccess to allow certain users to have their own
incoming directory, as well as allowing anonymous ftpers to create
subdirectories and place various documents within. A typical entry in
/etc/ftpaccess looks like

upload /home/users/ftp /pub/incoming/thisuser/* yes thisuser
anon 0600 dirs

There are no tabs in my file.

Things mostly work. However, any subdirectories created by an anonymous
user look like

drwxrwxr-x 2 ftp anon 1024 Jun 26 13:47 ~ftp/pub/incoming/thisuser/newdir/

and files within look like

-rw------- 1 thisuser anon 1303 Jun 26 10:47
~ftp/pub/incoming/thisuser/newdir/brain.html.txt

which is fine, except that thisuser doesn't have permission to delete the
file since the DIRECTORY is owned by ftp.anon.

So, the question is: what governs the permissions on MKDIR, and how do I
change it so that perhaps it creates permissions like drwxrwxrwt instead
of the one above?

Thanks muchly...

G'Day

Just now I upgraded to version 2.4 under Dec Ultrix 4.3. I followed all
the Install instructions including making changes required for Ultrix
(eg svc.conf etc..). The build install went just fine and ckconfig
checked everything and reported ok. I tried ftping to my machine and
I got the message:

Connected to crab.
500 crab FTP server shut down -- please try again later.
ftp>

I figured I maybe had to reboot to make the changes take effect, so I
shutdown, halted the processor and booted up again. Still I get
the same message. I tried running it on its own and I get:

/usr/local/etc/ftpd
500 crab FTP server shut down -- please try again later.

What can I do to start it up ? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

best regards
Ata <(|)>.
