Subject: enhanced features no longer work
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi. I just compiled the beta version:

ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-5.tar.Z

on a Sun Sparc 20 running Solaris 2.4. The ftpd seems to behave like
an ftpd should. When I make an ftp connection to the machine, I see
wu-ftpd's prompt instead of the one from Sun's ftpd so I know wu-ftpd
is running. However, the extended features (e.g., automagically
displaying ".message" files and support for "get dirname.tar") no
longer work. I subscribed to this list after the announcement of the
beta version. Has the syntax of the config files changed??? Have
these features been intentionally disabled for some reason???

Make sure the -a option is on the ftpd command line (in inetd.conf). I
think the beta version disables using the ftpaccess file unless -a is
used. This may be important, because most of that stuff is called out in
ftpaccess.

Hope it helps,

Michael

And, since I still have received no valuable info, here's the trouble
again. NOte that I've checked all the libraries, permissions,
recompiled, etc. I've even made sure ftpaccess is being read by adding
the -a flag to the inetd entry. I'm going nuts over this. Can anyone help?

Subject: On-the-fly comp/decomp

Hi there. Last week I posted this problem, and received a single
response, which did not help. So here I go again.

I've set up ftpconversions with WU 2.4 (standard version, patched to
allow the passive conenctions required by Web browsers) on Solaris 2.3.
For a while, my conversions worked fine. Now they don't. I don't know
if I've just completely forgotten the syntax for using them, or what.
The executables are all in ~ftp/bin, ~ftp/bin is set at 111, my ftpaccess
file has the following entries:

uncompress yes *
compress yes *
tar yes *

and my ftpconversions file is set up like this:

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

When I try to get the file ls-lR.Z to come over as an ASCII file rather
tha compressed, I've been doing this:

ftp> get ls-lR

The way I understand the conversions, if the file ls-lR.Z exists in
the current directory, then getting the file ls-lR should tell wuftpd to
give me the uncompressed ls-lR.Z. Is this right?

Thanks in advance!

That fixed the problem. Thanks!!!

Perhaps this should go into an FAQ. IS there an FAQ???

QUESTION: So, if a user had a home dir entry like:

/home/./user/

(s)he would be restricted to the /home/ directory as root, but would be able
to go into any other user's directory (as long as permissions allow)?

(This *is* one of the things I'm looking for. This would allow users to
"publish" their directories, yet not allow them into the "system" space,
making it much more secure.)

Thanks for the help!

I know, I know, I looked at the FAQ, unsubscribed just like it said, and I'm
still getting messages after almost 7 days. Just for kicks, I tried to unsub
again and it told me it couldn't find me in the list. <sigh>

Anyone got any hints on how to get off this list?

Hi,

The wu-ftp does not seem to list any files
when doing ftp from a Winsock TCP/IP's WS-FTP32.

It does the connection etc but no files are seen

We think that this application sends a dir command
which isnot recognised by wu-ftpd. Anubody
with similar excperience/or solution

Also how does one make ls -l command work?

Thanks ... Ratilal

Subject: -a syntax
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Apparently much of my fix-kit made it into the academ beta, which includes
reversing the default sense of the accessfile code. The original wu-ftpd
has it all on by default and you turn it off with -A. Thus -a is a no-op.

I decided to reverse the sense of this -- having the accessfile OFF by default
and requiring -a to turn it on, leaving -A as the no-op. This is just the
initialization of use_accessfile in ftpd.c.

This was not very clearly documented in my FIX-KIT addendum, let alone the
manpages. Mea culpa... It probably should be before any real releases, or put
back the original way with a recommendation to run in -A mode if possible!

Hi,

NCARGS is not defined in line 61 of glob.c. Anyone know what
this should be? OS is Irix 5.3 and I did the build sgi.

Thanks,

Subject: IRIX fixes
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I havn't saved any of the "beta" threads that have been going around
so I'll post this and hope the information gets into the right hands.

There are two fixes to the SGI IRIX compilation that I would
like to see added to the distribution. These concern at least IRIX 5.2
and 5.3.

1) add the -cckr compile option to the makefiles. This solves
vararg problems.

2) In glob.c there is an undef'd reference, NCARGS. It is
used on line 61, but never defined (on the sgi :-). I do not really
understand what the units for NCARGS are, but I am reasonably sure that
it has something to do with filename expansion for mget's...
I have gone ahead and set it to something ridiculous (600) but I have no
idea what this buys me.

Any info on what NCARGS does would be appreciated.

Subject: WU-FTPD-2.4.2-Beta5 configuration
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi folks,

I just tried my luck at compiling BETA 5 which, overall, was
successful........ The FTPD behaves correctly except for one hitch. It
doesn't display any of the banners or messages specified in the ftpaccess
file.

It's been a while since I compiled the previous version of wu-ftpd, but I
recall that I had to make a few changes before compiling the
application. After digging through all the *.h files I finally figured
it out that it was pathnames.h file that the variables are located. This
file also looks a little different from the previous 'real' release of
the wu-ftpd sources. I've modified the file to reflect my old
pathnames.h, but the compiled daemons never recognize where my ftpaccess
file is located...... or it's not reading the commands correctly.

Any thoughts? In the past hour and a half, I must have recompiled the
daemon 4 or 5 times each with a different pathnames.h file..... Ugh!
Maybe I can live with these 'hanging' ftp sessions.......

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Ken

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I can get some more detailed docs on wu-ftpd.

Configuring, etc.

First I'd like to thank everyone who helped me out on this one!

It actually turned out to be an oversight on my part. The new ftpd
actually has a default of -A which ignores the ftpaccess file. To
reverse this, simply add the -a option to the command line in your
inetd.conf. This was plainly stated in the NOTES file included with the
package.

The more I think about this, the more I tend to think it shouldn't be the
default. I don't know about everyone else, but security and
ease/flexibility of configuratoin were the main reasons for me switching
to wu-ftpd. For a new wu-ftpd admin this default would definitely drive
me up the wall...... as if ftpaccess wasn't difficult enough to figure
out the first go around.

Oh well, everything is fine and dandy. All my hard work in setting up
nice banner messages are back. Also teaches me not to skim through
documentation in the future!

Thanks, again for all the help!
Ken

The man pages???? :) ORA have published a book called "Managing
Internet Information Services". I have it at home, so I can't give
you the ISBN etc. It has a couple of chapters on ftp, and one
specifically on wu-ftpd. Check it out - it is probably worth having....

Mail me back if you need the ISBN etc.

Mike,
I just compiles and installed wu-ftp-2.4 on a Sparc 20 running Solaris 2.4.
I also used gcc 2.6.3 without any problem.
Did you change the ftp.h header file in /usr/include/arpd to the one supplied with the wu-ftpd
package ?

I used "Managing INTERNET Information Services" (ISBN#: 1565920627) by O'Reilly & Assoc. You can order online from
www.ora.com The book has a really good chapter on setting up an ftp archive, with particular reference /
example per wu-ftpd v2.4. Hope this helps. .. Dave van Nierop

No, that's the last thing I want.

I was merely pointing out the default not to read the ftpaccess file in
the new package. Without the FTPACCESS file you lose a lot of wu-ftpd's
configurability. Which was one of the reasons I decided to switch to
wu-ftpd in the first place.

If I wanted less security, I would have stuck with the vendor's original
ftp daemon along with saving myself the trouble of installing
tcp_wrappers.......

I would find out more about the FTP and TCP/IP client software being used
to see if there is a pattern. Wouldn't hurt to know all you can about the
client hardware and connection type either. Any consistent results you
find out would appreciated by me if not the whole list.

Hope you find it,

I used to notice this on my old 386/33 with 4Mb of RAM running windows
and Mosaic and ftp-client and ...

I then realized how much swapping I was causing the machine to do and
upgraded my RAM.

Maybe your users are running into the same problem?

Some of our users are complaining that FTP transfers occassionally slow
to a crawl, once the size of the file being transferred gets above 20k.

Others are complaining that they are inconsistently dis-connected after
transferring a single file when doing multiple file transfers "connection
reset by peer".

The load on the system is light, and the number of connections is
in the low 20s. Any idea what could be causing this (on our end, or
theirs)?

I would be very suspicious that the client's at fault if the client is
the perl-based mirror software. I've found that the version we have
here has a major memory leak running under SCO 3.2v4.2. It does an
exec for every read and the exec must allocate memory so the memory
requirements grow quite quickly to the point that the system would
start swapping very quickly with 16MB of RAM.

Greetings, all!

It seems my last question stumped all of you :-) (no responses) so I'm
really hoping someone can help me with this:

I need to generate reports on all ftp accesses: commands, logins, logouts,
and transfers (puts and gets). From what I've been able to dig up so far,
it appears that this information is spread across three files but not all
of it is located in a single file. Is this correct? If not, how can I
configure wu-ftpd to log all this info into a single file? Also, are there
any public domain programs that does any statistics/reporting on ftp logging
files?

Thanks in advance!

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

The information is in 2 log files ( the access log and the command log ).
you would need to change the code of WU-FTP to get all of this to log to a
single file.

The access log is usually "xferlog" and this contains a log of all file
transfers. There are a few statistic programs for this log including my own
"iisstat". You can get more information about iisstat at
ftp://ftp.support.lotus.com/pub/utils/InternetServices/iisstat/iisstat.html

The command log is handled by the syslog daemon. I have written a program
to do some statistics on this. But I never finished it to the quality where
I would publicly release it. If you are interested in it, let me know. I
don't mind giving it to individuals.

Both programs are written in perl.

Hi

I am trying to set up an anonymous ftp server on SCO Unix 3.2v4.2.

Everything seems to work OK with a real user. But when an anonymous user tries
"ls" command he gets error:

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

I am using wu-ftp server version 2.4, which I got from ftp.mols.siu.edu.
The package was already compiled, so I haven't compiled it by my self.

Here is the output of ls -lR of the directory structure:

/usr/local/etc/ftp($) ls -lR

You don't have a /dev directory or a /shlib directory (which makes me
thing you didn't read the instructions in the SCO Network Managers
Guide on setting up anonymous ftp).

The /dev directory needs:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 26, 0 Apr 10 14:06 /ftp/dev/socksys

The /shlib directory needs:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root other 47745 Nov 03 1993 /ftp/shlib/libc_s

I am not a proficiant C programmer so I am unsure what the errors mean.
Could someone please shed some light for me? At least tell me
where to look? BTW, I do have "Managing Internet Informations Services"

Sorry for the double post earlier. (my mousefinger stuttered.)

Many thanks to those who helped. I needed to run "build clean"
This did create a new problem though.

First my aix system did not have the file in_system.h. It did have
in_systm.h so I renamed it. I also checked another aix system and
noticed the same problem.

Now...When running "build aix" I receive the following messages:

For those of you unable to figure out how to get off the wu-ftpd list,
one way that works is to send mail to "[email protected]" with a
message body of "unsubscribe wu-ftpd".

Sending to wu-ftpd-request appears to have no effect as far as I can tell.

I'm having a similar problem (though I wasn't originally and I haven't
the foggiest of what has changed )-:

I've built version wu-2.4(8) and the last time I reinstalled ftpd,
restarted inetd and connected, I no longer could see directory listings.
Doesn't matter if I use the BSDI ftp client or an nt/32-bit winsock client.

Any ideas!?

thanks.

Sounds like ls needs its libraries.
in: ~ftp/lib
i have: libc.so.1 and rld
Of course im running IRIX so your mielage may vary, but the sysmptoms
suggest the ls command is choking due to not finding the libraries it needs.

Hello, again,

As a point of clarification, I'm installing ftpd on BSDI. The old ftpd
(2.1c) runs fine; as soon as I install 2.4, ls stops working. I don't
believe that there are any shared libs on BSDI. At least I couldn't
find any .so's and there's no sign of ldd :-)

However, ls sort of works from the DOS prompt on an NT box... go figure.

Still looking around for other pointers :-)

Cheers,
..dlc...

What is the simplest way to restrict anonymous FTP access to part of
the anonymous FTP tree, based on source address?

That is, the directory

/pub/local-only

and its contents are only accessable by anonymous FTP sessions from
the "local" network (as defined by some rules).

It's part of the shadow password package, which most Linux distriutions
don't install by default. If you don't have shadow passwords, you should not
define SHADOW_PASSWORD in wu-ftpd/src/config.h. If you do have them, you
should include -lshadow in the LIBES line in wu-ftpd/src/Makefile. (How to
know? See if /usr/lib/libshadow.* exists, or look at /etc/passwd and see if
it has encrypted passwords in it.)

getspnam() is the GNU shadow replacement for getpwnam(). Simply link
with the shadow library, and you're done (-lshadow). If you don't have
shadow passwords, there is a configuration option in one of the config
files, dunno which. "grep SHADOW *" in the top directory should give
you an idea.

Hi all. Greetings from Oz!

I realise this question must have been asked in this forum thousands
of times, but I could not access the listproc archives for this
list and hence was unable to search previous posts!

Were are there patches located for wu-ftpd? I sometimes see
version numbers up around the 53! Most of them are security and bug fixes
I believe.

My search for these patches via archie and the WWW have been
fruitless.

Greatful for any pointers,

Cheers,

Mark

Subject: Need help setting UMASK
Content-Type: text
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL17]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I am running the WU-FTPD server, version 2.4. Currently it is running
on an ultrix system under ultrix 4.3. The UMASK for files uploaded by
real users (not anonymous) is 022. So far, no problem

We are now moving the FTP server to a new machine, a SPARC 20 running
solaris 2.4. On this machine, these files now get their permissions
set with a umask of 002. What has changed? Where does this mask get
set? I looked at the man pages, and did a quick grep through the source
code but I didn't see it.

Thanks in advance...

I would look in glob.c for

#define GAVSIZ (NCARGS/6)

If NCARGS is not defined, define it with a largish value. I suspect that
NCARGS absence is being interperted as #def NCARGS 0.
I have defined it with (600) and this seems to work
fine for our very low usage site. I recieved some mail
from *Hobbit* stating "Making it bigger than 600 would probably be prudent!"

I must admit that I have not made the change yet but I may if one of
my users has file name expansion problems.

Hope this helps.

dude! that was it - thanx so much. i changed mine to 2048 since that's what
/bin/sh uses i think - i can't believe this isn't documented or that more
folks haven't run into the same problem - my coadmin installed the package
and had it set to only 36 (since as you mentioned it wasn't define in the
system header files at all on irix)

see ya,

Many thanks to those who helped. I needed to run "build clean"
This did create a new problem though.

First my aix system did not have the file in_system.h. It did have
in_systm.h so I renamed it. I also checked another aix system and
noticed the same problem.

Now...When running "build aix" I receive the following messages:

The latter points in the wrong direction. If encrypted passwords are in
/etc/passwd, there's probably _no_ shadow package installed. You probably
do have shadow passwords if there is /etc/shadow, though.

I am trying to find a patch for wu-ftpd that will allow me to do virtual
ftp servers. That is, multiple IP address on a single ethernet port
terminating to different FTP directories.

I have a linux 2.8.13 system and a patch applied to allow for multiple
IPs to the machine.

If possible, I would like patches to work on wu-ftpd2.4.2beta-5.

Thank You

My wuftpd won't recognize real users. I've defined a class named "local"
as real and anonymous users from *.lsumc.edu. Anonymous seems to work fine,
but real users are not recognized as part of the class "local". Neither
ftpwho or ftpcount show real users who are ftping. Has anyone else run into
this problem?

Thanks

Subject: wu-ftpd 2.4 and telnet and rlogin..
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I've just installed wu-ftpd, and created a real usr/passwd account,
and a guestgroup group.

I can log in to this account just fine via ftp, and my access within
the ftp directory hierarchy is just what I wanted.

However, since this is a real usr/passwd account, how can I prevent
users of this account from logging in via telnet or rlogin using the
same usr/passwd?

The restricted "anonymous" ftp access is great, but I don't understand
how to restrict this user from using other internet access means.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks
- Chris

Make the shell in the /etc/passwd file to be /etc/ftponly or some such
nonexistent file. It doesn't have to exist (shouldn't exist!); just make
sure it is in /etc/shells, which is used as a list to validate the shell
by wu.ftpd. I assume from your comments that you may have put a normal
shell in the passwd file on the guest account and the anonymous account;
just make it a bogus shell /like /etc/ftponly or /bin/false and no one
can login on that account.

Good thinking...

Michael

Subject: Another security patch...
Content-Type: text
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Currently wu-ftpd runs any external programs (like ls, gzip, tar
and so on, including SITE EXEC commands) with the effective uid
of the user who is logged in, but with real uid 0. The patch
(included below) will cause it to drop privileges completely
before executing any external commands. You never know...

For example, tar (especially the GNU one) is a complex program
- if a user can manage to pass it arbitrary arguments, then we
may be in trouble: GNU tar has a nice --use-compress-program
option... You never know when the GNU folks add a similar
(normally harmless) feature to GNU ls where you can pass it
any arguments and run anything with real uid 0.

I have tested this patch and it seems to work. But please
look at it carefully and test it, and tell me if it breaks
anything. If it doesn't, we could have it in the official
version...

The patch is below. Note that closing all files is important
- otherwise the bad guys can attach to the process and access
wtmp, pid files etc...

To apply, cd wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-5/src ; patch -s -p0 <this_file

Regards,
Marek

Subject: Can wustl ftpd timeout *during* a command?
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

re: wu-ftpd 2.4 (on SunOS 4.1)

I guess what I'm having is the same 'persistent hung ftpd's that others have
described earlier.

These hung processes I get have all finished with a STOR cmd entry in the log,
and are just sitting at the read(2) or getc(3) calls in ftpd.c:receive_data.

Yes I know there is a timeout option. But as I understand it, it only sets
the alarm in yylex(), just before getting commands from the client, then it
is reset straight after. i.e. we can only timeout *waiting* for a command,
not while executing a command.

I don't know why an EOF isn't received by the server. I've tried killing
clients mid-transfer, but can't reproduce whatever it is that other users are
doing every day.

So... should I just go and stick a signal handler and alarm request in there,
before receive_data'ing and reset it after, or am I missing something more
fundamental?

Thanks in advance,

C. Arnold

Have you made sure that the file /etc/shells exists with a list of of
your local shells included within?

Hope that helps!

Can someone answer:

Where are the beta versions? I'd like to fix my
hanging ftpd problems.

I can't find the patched version on this site:

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Subject: wu-ftpd-2.4.2-BETA5: ftpconversions probs
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi wu-ftpd-users,

I've installed wu-ftpd-2.4.2-BETA5 on AIX 4.1.2 today
(version 2.4 was installed prior). So far, everything
is working fine (there were some source tweaks
necessary, if someone's interested, I'll send a
diff. YMMV.).

ftpaccess is parsed fine, but all the ftpconversions
stuff stopped to work. When I want to retrieve a file
and gzip it on the fly, a message is generated as
follows:

ftp> get newhost.gz
200 PORT command successful.
550 Cannot GZIP plain files.

newhost _is_ a plain file, and it is supposed to
be gzipped properly. The message is generated around
line 1460 of ftpd.c:

if (S_ISREG(st.st_mode) && (cptr->types & T_REG) != 0) {
(void) reply(550, "Cannot %s plain files.", cptr->name);
return;
}

I don't quite understand this code. If the file is a
regular file and the T_REG flag is set in the
ftpconversions entry, then don't allow execution of the
corresponding function? C'mon.

The corresponding ftpconversions line worked fine with
wu-ftpd-2.4 and is as follows:

: : :.gz:/bin/gzip -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:GZIP

The same happens with all the other ftpconversions
entries. What's going on here? Any suggestion?

I'll wait and see whether the hanging ftpd processes
are now gone ...

Thanks for your time.

Ciao,
hm

Subject: Stupid problem with getting Xferlogging to work
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm sure that I'm not the first to ask this, so a pointer to the FAQ will do as
an answer and I won't be offended <g>.

I have wuftp 2.4 running on a SPARC/LX running Solaris 2.4. I have got
everything working the way that I wish, except logging...

command line: /usr/local/etc/ftpd -io
ftpaccess: log transfer anonymouses inbound,outbound
_PATH_XFERLOG is "/usr/adm/xferlog"

I finally created /usr/adm/xferlog (just contains a blank line) and set
ownership/group/permissions as ftp ftp 666 and still get nothing.

Any help would be appreciated!

Here's the code from 2.4:
if (S_ISREG(st.st_mode) && !(cptr->types & T_REG)) {
(void) reply(550, "Cannot %s plain files.", cptr->name);
return;
}

Looks like that should be == 0 instead.

Subject: NetBSD 1.0/i386
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi,

I am trying to compile wu-ftpd-2.4 under NetBSD 1.0 on an 486
system. If I compile with the regular options (build bsd) it
gives me fatal errors about the definition of setproctitle.

If I comment out the prototype for setproctitle in the
/usr/include/stlib.h (I think) file, it will compile and run
pretty normally. The only problem is when non-guest people
login and try to transfer -- it will transfer properly but
will exit with an error: exiting on signal 11

For people with their access restricted in the ftpaccess
file (ie. chrooted), it will work just fine.

Any suggestions?

Greetings,

just recently I changed my Linux system, running 1.2.x, which is
shadowded with the shadow-3.3.1(-2) package. I was running fine, and
recompiled the ftpd for shadow support when I shadowded. No problem.
Now I've recompiled the shadow-3.3.1 package so DOUBLE (or something) is
defined, letting shadowded passwords be up to 16 characters. Well, it
works fine for login, but now you cannot ftp in if your password is
greater than 8. Did I miss some definition or patch for this? Is this a
known problem or what?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Reguards,

Greg Gallagher

It is starting to be a FAQ. It has been asked a couple of times lately.

Anyway, the solution is to replace the call to crypt() in ftpd.c to a
call to pw_encrypt().

Subject: RE: Long passwords not working with ftpd
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

A common client for ftp is the Berkeley ftp program. This program calls the
'getpass()' function which is local to the client's system. This is
different than using telnet which will call getpass() on the server's
system.

The Berkeley getpass() function limits the password to eight characters. It
truncates the password at that point. After all, who would want a password
longer than eight characters? (sic.)

The solution is to not use the normal logon sequence and to use the 'user'
and 'pass' functions directly. The 'pass' function will not limit you to
eight characters, but it will echo the password on the display.

Alternately, limit yourself to eight characters for a shadowed password or
convince all of your real users to not use the Berkley getpass() function
ftp clients. There are other implementations of getpass() which don't limit
you to eight characters. Your Linux system uses one.

The sequence for ftp would normally resemble something like:

$ ftp -n my.host.system
Connected to my.host.system
220 my.host.system FTP server ready.
ftp>quote user TheUserName
331 Password required for TheUserName.
ftp>quote pass TheUsersRealLongPasswordWhichWillBeSeen
230 User TheUserName logged in.
ftp>

Don't be tempted to use the 'user' command directly. This will only lead
you into using the getpass() function again.

Hello all,

Now my wu-ftpd compiles fine, but another problem is born. If i have some
users that are classified as "guestgroup" that is, when they ftp a CHROOT
is made by ftp server, they cannot use DIR or LS commands.

I tried to create a ~/bin/ls command but no results. Perhaps I have to
insert other thing in my ~ directory, (such ad ~/bin/ PATH) but WHAT and
WHERE? Or I need to recompile ftpd with other configuration, or.... I don't
know :-( (sob!)

Is there someone that works fine with guestgroup accounts?

Thank you for cooperation

Regards,

Marco OTTELLA

Subject: group ownership of put files is wrong
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi,

I'm running wu-ftp on an IBM RS/6000, AIX 3.2.5. I have some real accounts
and some guest accounts set up. In either case, when a user ftps to my
machine and puts a file, the group owner of the file is system, not the primary
group of the ftp user's account. This of course causes problems, because
I wanted to set up groups so that certain users could put files in certain
directories,but now each directory has to have group write for system. Any
ideas of what I've done wrong?

My ftpaccess looks like:

loginfails 5

class all guest *
class test real *

guestgroup iws guest

banner /usr/local/etc/ftpbanner

log commands guest
log transfers guest inbound,outbound

# all the following default to "yes" for everybody
delete yes guest # delete permission?
overwrite yes guest # overwrite permission?
rename yes guest # rename permission?
chmod no guest # chmod permission?
umask no guest # umask permission?

Thanks,
Kim Tolbert

Thanks for the help, Bill. But I must have had some kind of syntax error in
ftpaccess, because I can now define classes with the real user type. The
problem I have how is that I can't AUTOGROUP real users....is this standard
or do I have another bug?

Thanks Shane,

Unfortunately the patch didn't work.
Now I get the error message:
550 Can't set gid (AIX3).
Login failed.

Any other ideas?

Running wu-ftpd, when anonymous users ftp in and try a sublogin with the
"user" command, they get this message:
Can't change user from guest login.

Is there a way to allow anonymous ftp to use the command "user"?

Since ftpd makes a chroot() if the initial user is anonymous, and there's
no (hardly any) way back, I cannot imagine how ...

I have downloaded the wuftpd from server.berkeley.edu's Solaris
archive. The setup scripts are broken where when you try to run them
they say "unexpected eof" I've been able to run the commands from
the scripts on the command line and I've created the appropriate
directories and have replaced the in.ftpd with the new ftpd but when
I try to ftp in as anonymous I get an error 530 access denied. Is there
a good faq or list of instructions for installing this on SunOS 5.4/Solaris?
If not if someone could mail me the details it would be appreciated.

Hi,
I just recently built wu-ftpd for use for use as both normal ftp and anonymous.
When logged in as a normal user, ls & ls -l work fine. But when logged in
anon & guest the ls will work but not ls -l (dir doesn't work either). I
thought initially that my problem was with a shared library or something but
I can't seem to find any reference anywhere to one. The system is a IBM RS
6000 running AIX 3.2.5. If I setup up an anonymous system using the ftpd
daemon supplied with AIX, ls -l works just fine, but when I switch to
wu-ftpd it doesn't.

I've setup the same on a Sun 4.1.3 and Solaris 2.3 with no problem but can't
get anywhere with this.

Anybody have some ideas???

Subject: Where will I get a static linked gtar for Solaris 2.4
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi,
I tried to connect to the ftp server which was announced
in the wu-ftp 2.4 Installation Guide and I had problems to
get the gtar which I would like to use for the wu-ftpd
installation.

May be it was just a mistyping but can you point me to
an ftp location including path - I use ftp-by-mail -
to grep the file.

Thanks right now and I wish a nice day.

Bye
Andreas

I am not presently on this list please answer by private mail.

I compiled and installed wu-ftp-2.4. I won't let any one one. I
am using shadowed passwords. Something quick and obvious that I missed?

Looks like a beautiful product, and my customers are excited to be
using it.

In Germany, you may want to use the ftpmailer of ftp.germany.eu.net.
tar-1.11.8.tar.gz is in /pub/packages/gnu.

Subject: uploads, real users
X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (7.2.5 10/14/92)
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I have installed wu-ftpd 2.4 under 386bsd and have run into some problems:

1. Anonymous users cannot upload files. When I log in anonymously and
attempt to upload a file, I get the mesage "REGEX error".
It doesn't seem to matter what I do with the "upload" commands in my
ftpaccess file. I always get this.

2. If I try to log in as myself, I always get access denied.
I have "class local real *" in the ftpaccess file which as far as
I can tell, ought to permit access by real users.

3. Nroff cannot format the documentation for ftpaccess either under
386bsd (where I get an error) or under SunOS (where I get a wrong
format). The problem seems to be the line

B path-filter <typelist> <mesg> <allowed_charset> {<disallowed regexp> ...}

which formats with "regexp>" in front of path-filter on the sun.

I am using the ftpaccess.heavy file, trimmed and modified as
my ftpaccess file. (I can mail it if necessary.)

(I tried to find an archive of past messages to this list in the hopes
that my question might be answered therein, but I didn't see any
evidence of such an archive.)

Much thanks to everyone's help so far. I'm getting there. Now when logging
access is granted but then after entering the password you get a error 550
"can't set guest privileges". Any help on this would be appreciated.

I sent a message to this list about a week or so ago, inquiring about
whether anyone knew why tar file extractions were being truncated
at 20 files or so.

So far, I have not received a response... does this mean no one

Thanks for all the help.
The other errors have been taken care of by creating the /etc/shells and
syntax errors in /etc/passwd. Now I get logged in but get the following error
when running an ls or dir.

I had exactly the same error on our SCO 3.2v4.2 before I created directories
~ftp/dev and ~ftp/shlib and put the necessary files there.

I hope your operating system documentation tells you what to put there.

Hope this helps,
Kari

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

I am running wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-4](1) on Linux 1.2.11. Most things
go OK except I received several times error msgs in my syslog:

Aug 12 22:07:40 myhost ftpd[8288]: exiting on signal 11: Try again

It happens when clients were uploading many files (> 30 files of 100 KB).

Another problem: if I remove the world read permission of ~ftp/incoming,
then the files uploaded were owned by ftp.bin no matter what you setup
in ftpaccess. If I put the read permission back, everything is OK.

Last small problem, the ftpd no longer log the message when client
close the connection.

Any help will be appreciated.

I run wuftpd on AIX 3.2.5 as well with no problems. It sounds like you're
either using the wrong permissions (not as likely) or missing some of the
dynamic libraries that ls depends upon (likely). These include the NLS
message catalogs, and the appropriate C libraries. The stock AIX ftpd page
has a section about setting up an FTP site. There's even a script to
automate much of it for you, called anon.ftp in the /usr tree somewhere. I
think it also has a man page.

I ended creating my FTP tree by hand, since I didn't like the defaults in
the script, and didn't want to spend the time to change it (fairly
heavily). If you follow the instructions for WU-FTPd first, then add
whatever wasn't already done according to the instructions in the FTPd man
page.

I can provide a list of files you need if necessary; just contact me via
private e-mail.

Good luck!

Hi,
I have just set up the wu-ftpd 4.2
But I have a problem setting up a guestgroup. For setting the ftpd I uses=
the
O=B4Reilly Handbook "Managing Internet Information Systems" but when I=
create
the ftpaccess file for the guest group like described I get the following=20
message when I try to login:

220-
220 rcsun1 FTP server (Version wu-2.4(2) Fri Aug 11 14:32:52 MET DST
1995) ready.
Name (localhost:root): xmmftp
530 User xmmftp access denied...
Login failed.
ftp>

The entry in the /etc/passwd file looks like:
=
xmmftp:CtN/XyXEYMPGI:20001:201:XMM-Guest-User:/user/guests/./xmm:/bin/false

The entry in the /etc/group file looks like:
ftpguests:*:201:xmmftp,poemftp,sciaftp
=20
The entry in the /usr/local/etc/ftpaccess file looks like:
guestgroup ftpguests

Where might be the problem

regards
Udo

Is /bin/false in you /etc/shells file? The file /bin/false doesn't have to
exist but it must be listed in /etc/shells

Good Luck
Keith.

Hi, I just installed wu-ftpd-2.4 on a SunOS4.1.3_U1 and the server works
exept that it doesn't read the ftpaccess file at all. No messages are
displayed. My question is: is there a FAQ somewhere I could read before
bugging you guys. If not, could someone tell me what
permissions/userID/groupID I should put on the
ftpaccess,ftpconversion,ftpusers files.

Thank you,

I would go so far as to say that most of the major mailing lists are
based on English being the common language of choice. If someone
feels more comfortable with another language then let them post.
The truth is the experts live in the bigger lists and may not have the
time or energy to subscribe to the language specific lists. Feel free to
create on if you want, but the traffic and knowledge base will probably be
to small to sustain the operation of the list. The other language users
should also not feel offended if they get few or no replies. Chances are
though that on a bigger list like this one, someone will understand their
request and respond. That reply, like most others should be back to
the use with the questions ONLY, and let them post a summary of the
problem resolution if it turns out to be useful and not just rtfm or rtfaq.

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

I just finished installing wu-ftpd on my AIX 3.2.5 systems and have run
into a minor problem.

Anonymous and guest access is okay but I am unable to ftp in with a real
userid. The id is in the /etc/passwd file and /etc/group file. I even
made sure it is not in the ftpusers file.

If I enter "user nelson" it says access is denied. (this is the username)

If I enter "user NELSON" (note case) it asks for a password but it will
not take a valid password. Also note: NELSON (upcase) is not a valid user
on my system "nelson" is.

I have enclosed my ftpaccess file if it will help.

Dear wu-ftpd users,

This is my first time on this list and as such I would like to
apologize if I am wrong about the Etiquette one is supposed to have on
this mailing list. I hope everybody will excuse my poor english as well..
:)

We are tying to set up wu-ftpd to work on our SparcStation 10
(running SunOS 5.4) which is a server accessed by other students at our
school. I used the Solaris makefiles for wu-ftp-2.4 and things compiled
ok (after modifying makefile.sol a little). I have created the required
files, checked the paths and the syntax and it all seems ok. Also "ckconfig"
reports everything is ok. However:

- 1) When replacing in.ftpd by the binary of wu-ftpd, every user
connecting to our site gets : "500 step FTP server shut down -- please
try again later."

- 2) when trying to start it manually ("./ftpd"), it just dies within a
few seconds saying "500 step FTP server shut down -- please try again
later."

- 3) When trying 2), the following appears in /var/adm/messages:

Aug 15 18:08:37 step syslog: getpeername (./ftpd): Invalid argument
Aug 15 18:08:37 step syslog: getsockname (./ftpd): Invalid argument
Aug 15 18:08:37 step ftpd[19957]: setsockopt (SO_OOBINLINE): Invalid argument
Aug 15 18:08:37 step ftpd[19957]: fcntl F_SETOWN: Invalid argument

As a result, we are pretty lost here and I would like to know if anyone
has had this problem and knows how to fix it. We are just a group a
students providing local information and Internet access to other students
from our school and none of the others at our Micro-computing comitee was
able to help. We would really apreciate some help and I am really sorry
if this mail does not match this list's etiquette.

PS: I can provide all the config files if needed.

Make sure that the shell in the /etc/passwd for user nelson does exist
in /etc/shells. It may be csh instead of /bin/csh or similar mistakes.

I'm having trouble setting up sublogins under the wu-ftp
daemon. I'm not exactly sure how the user is supposed to
access the account. Do they login initially using the
sublogin name or do they login first as anonymous and then
USER to the sublogin account.

If it's the former, my difficulty is that I can't seem to
get it to work. I have not been able to login directly
using the sublogin name (I get 'login incorrect').

If it's the latter, the problem I have is that, after
logging in as anonymous, I'm told by the daemon that I can't
change user using a guest account.

Can someone shed some light on this?

Bonjour Daniel,

Je peux te suggerer d'acheter le libre d'O'Reilly, "Managing Internet
Information Services".

Il y a trois chapitre sur l'installation d'un site ftp anonyme
dont deux sur wu-ftpd 2.4.

Finalement, pour le fichier ftpaccess, assure-toi que dans le fichier
pathnames.h, tu as bien definis ou tu place ce fichier.
Les permissions sont bien-sur 0644 sur ces fichiers et le owner
est root,root (sur solaris) ou bien root,daemon.

Read the installation instructions which came with wu-ftp. It provides valid
info to get started.
Read the man pages for ftpd, ftpaccess... They should tell you how to set up
the inetd.conf and
the ftpaccess file.

Search the net for the "computer-security"
Hopefully it will lead you to something useful.

Also try http://iss.net/~iss

Subject: ftpd daemon syslogging
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi

I wondered if anyone out there had any experience with setting up the wuftpd
daemon to log all the file transfers, logins etc. from an anonymous ftp
account to the syslog. I am using a Solaris 2.4 installation of wuftpd.
Although I am aware of the various option parameters to the ftpd daemon and
have supposedly started them ( I have checked by logging in and watching
the ftpd process start), no messages are appearing in either /usr/adm/messages
or /usr/adm/syslog.
Does anyone know what ftpd is doing here??
I have tried looking at the syslogd daemon and it's details but to no avail.

At the moment, my entry for ftpd in /etc/inet/inetd.conf is as follows:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/ftpd ftpd -d -l -a -L
-i -o

Thanks for any help

Si.

J'ai effectivement ce livre et c'est en suivant les instructions que j'ai
installe le wu-ftpd.

Lorsque je roule ckconfig (qui vient avec wu-ftpd et qui verifie que les
path dans pathnames.h sont valides), tout est ok.
Mes fichiers ftpaccess et les autres sont 0644 et ils appartiennent a
root.daemon

Quand je connecte a la station roulant wu-ftpd, le serveur part mais je n'ai
aucuns messages s'affichant (via la commande message et/ou banner et meme
readme). Aussi, quand je fais la comande "dir" je n'obtient aucun listing
et quand je fais "ls", j'obtient un short listing contrairement a un "ls
-al"... sans doute que tu peux m'aider...

Merci,
Daniel.

Subject: Weird problem with ftpd
X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (7.2.5 10/14/92)
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi,

I have a strange problem with the wu-ftpd 2.4 daemon running on
machines with the SunOS 4.1.4 and a Solbourne 4.1C operating
systems. On the second login try to any account (ftp or user
account) the daemon hangs and seems to set the NIS domainname to
the passwd entry of ftp. For example, the passwd entry for ftp
is:

ftp:*:22:22:Anonymous FTP:/export/ftp:/usr/bin/true

and the error messages on the console are:

NIS domainname "ftp" not responding
NIS domainname "*" not responding
NIS domainname "/export/ftp" not responding

and so on.

At this point the daemon hangs and the ftpcounts don't change (of
course) and no one can log in.

I would appreciate any pointers or solutions. BTW, there were no
changes made to the wu-ftpd source which I got from ftp.wustl.edu.

- Kent

I'm in the process of setting our FTP server for guest access only.

I current have two account (same group) which get chrooted same directory:

/etc/password
user1:*:101:120:Local user,,,:/usr2/ftpshared/./proj1:/bin/csh
user2:*:102:120:Remote user,,,:/usr2/ftpshared/./proj1:/bin/csh

/etc/group
partners:*:120:user1,user2
project1:*:200:user1,user2

ls -l /usr/ftpshared

drwxrwx--- 2 user2 project1 512 Aug 15 07:37 proj1

ls -l /usr/ftpshared/proj1
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 473 Aug 15 07:37 .login

-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 project1 42685 Aug 14 15:59 office3.gif

Once I connect with either user1 or user2 ls -l nor dir work

If I conncect from a UNIX host it ls looks like this:

230 User user1 logged in. Access restrictions apply.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.

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

If I use the same account but connect from PC ftp command line client:

230 User user1 logged in. Access restrictions apply.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.

150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
Transferred 0 bytes in 0 seconds (0.000 Kbytes/sec)

The 2 BIG Questions...

Why would the directory information change depending on the FTP client
use to access the server?

Why doesn't the ls - l or the dir commands work??

Also in response to whether there are mailing lists in other languages,
I would say if there isn't one, then create one and hope it
is appreciated where that language is spoken and understood.

It sounds like your /etc/syslog.conf doesn't have an entry for the
selector that your wu-ftpd is using. I think the default is 'daemon'
but you should check your sources to see what you are using.

In my /etc/syslog.conf I have the lilne:
daemon.info /var/log/daemonlog

Check out the man pages on 'syslog' and 'syslog.conf' for more info.

Keith.

I had a similar problem at my site,
but I decided to use the group-access of the wu-ftpd,
because it seems to be the preferred way of the wu-ftpd.
(so read in the O=B4Reilly book "managing internet informations systems")

Hi there,

I have tried to decipher the text files that come w/wu-ftpd and have
also purchased the O'Reilly book, and yet can not come up with my
answer.

I have to setup my FTP server for about 30 users, where each user will
need a particular login & password. This user will have RW access to
their private directory and R access to a common or 'pub' directory. I
am befogged on whether to use the group function or what? HELP !!

Thank You,

This is probably a /etc/shells problem. Under AIX, you have to set up
~ftp/etc/shells with all the possible shells in it.

I tried that route too, but I don't have a very good
understanding of how group-access works either. Could
someone briefly outline an example of this including an
example of how the user actually access the account(?) (I
have the O'Reilly book, I'm still a little confused).

thanks

I am really sorry for starting this debate. I received a reply to my first
question from a fellow Canadian in french and when I replied to him, the
message was sent out to the list by mistake. Please stop the language
discussion and get back to the reason why we're here : WU-FTPD. I do not
feel threre is a need for this mailing list in another language than the one
understood by everyone.

Again, Sorry :(

The file is NOT ~ftp/etc/shells, just /etc/shells.

Personally, I don't like this fix since nothing else under AIX needs an
/etc/shells. I've got a patch that lets wu-ftpd get the valid shells the
proper way for AIX. My patch is available at:

tigger.itc.virginia.edu:/pub/AIX/wu-ftpd.diffs.txt.gz .

Subject: soft links not followed?
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I have a space problem. I've set up a guestgroup with a real account.
I want to place files in a pub/packages directory within the real
account directory. However, the files are too big to reside on the same
file system as the ~ftp account. I created a softlink in the ~ftp/pub/packages
directory to point to a file in another larger filesystem.

Now when I log in as the real user, an "ls" reveals that the softlinks
are indeed present, protections lrwxrwxrwx, but owned by "root", and
group "other". Even though the files at the other end of the link
are owned by my ~ftp real user, they cannot be accessed (ie, I can't
"GET" them -- permission denied).

How can I enable softlinks within a guestgroup account?

Thanks
- Chris

My guess is that you can't, otherwise it would be a BIG security hole.

I am trying to install wu-ftpd 2.4 on a SunOS system version 4.1.3C. Build s41 seems to
give me some problems, seems that gcc isn't compiling correctly. Can I use ANSI C to

what were your problems when compiling using gcc?
Since I have successfully compiled it, maybe I could help ...

You may export the dir and nfs mount to ~ftp/pub/packages (on the same

I think you can't. guestgroup are also chrooted and softlinks to

Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me how to "export the dir and nfs mount
to ~ftp/pub/packages"? I'm not very fluent with mnttab, etc.

Thanks much!

I'd like set up guest user accounts as (very briefly)
described in the O'Reilly book. Could someone give an
outline and examples for setting up *and using* guest user
accounts? I followed the setup steps from the book (there
are no usage examples), but I was not able to successfully
use the account. I have found this particular Nutshell
book, which are usually very lucid, hard to follow.

Also, I've not been able to get file conversions to work
either. I used the example ftpconvertions file and
put:

compress yes local remote anonymouses
tar yes local remote anonymouses

in the ftpaccess file. With 'blah.Z' in the archive,
'GET'ing 'blah' results in the daemon telling me that
'blah' is not found.

[Any FAQ files yet?]

Can someone help me out?

thnx

In /etc/exports add the line:
/dir/you/want/to-export your-hostname(rw)

Which allow the guestftp read/write the dir. use (ro) for readonly access.
restart your mountd and nfsd
mount the exported dir to ~ftp/pub/packages. The commands depends
which platform you use.

Be careful when shut down the system. Umount the nfs FIRST and then
shutdown the system.

If I remember correctly, you were talking about solaris 2.4?
If you are running Solaris 2.4 then the information provided below will NOT
WORK.
the information provided below is good for sunos4.1.x only, not for solaris.

DO a man on exportfs that will tell you how to export filesystems.

I hope this helps

Hi,

I have found a bug in wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-5, IMO. The src/ftpd.c must be:

line 1409:
if (S_ISREG(st.st_mode) && (cptr->types & T_REG) == 0) {
^^ not !=
.. if (S_ISREG(st.st_mode) == 0 && S_ISDIR(st.st_mode) == 0) {
.. if ((cptr->types & T_ASCII) == 0 && deny_badasciixfer(550, ""))

I didn't check all source codes but uncompression on-the-fly works well now.
BTW, is that the lastest version of ftpd ?

Regards,

Jan

PS: my configuration is PC/BSDI1.1 and native gcc1.42.

Here is a patch that uses a symbolic option to fnmatch(). Note the

Subject: host name match bug
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

In tracking down why a user specifically allowed by ftphosts was
being denied access, I found that the host/domain matching done
by hostacc.c was case sensitive. This could pose a security
problem if, for example, your ftphosts contained
deny * *.foo.com
and foo.com changed itself to be "Foo.COM".

The fix is simple. However, you have to use a numeric rather
than symbolic option to fnmatch(), since fnmatch's options aren't
available at compile time (no .h file).

Do the SITE commands work or does the ftpd need to be recompiled with

Response to site, site group or sit group <groupname> result in
invalid commands.

Subject: dir command doesn't work
Content-Type: text
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL22]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello, everyone. I recently set up wuftp 2.4 at my site
and everything seems to work properly...Log files, READMEs, and
the other various settings in the ftpaccess file. However, I
can't get 'dir' to return a long listing when I log in as FTP.
'ls' works, but neither 'dir' nor 'ls -al' will work. It
recognizes the command, but it won't show me the files and
directories at all.

Any suggestions? I know I either forgot something or have
permissions set wrong somewhere. Thanks.

Subject: Ftp failing! Please help!
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I suddenly am experiencing problems with my ftp site...
The system was recently converted from SunOS 4.1.3 to
Solaris 2.4. Afterwords, I recompiled the source code,
created the anonymous ftp area according to the Solaris
documentation, copied my ftpaccess file (that I had saved)
onto the new system, and expected it to work.

It doesn't!! Only anon-ftp functions; my guest groups don't
work, and none of my msgs or READMES display. Ftpd is seeing
the ftpaccess file as when I change the "loginfails" flag the
daemon reacts correctly. Otherwise I'm truly puzzled as it
should be working perfectly - no other settings were changed!

Any ideas would be _greatly_ appreciated. I don't know what
else to troubleshoot & am getting a bit desperate.

Sincerely,

Brian Rankin

Isn't "ls" an internal command whereas for "ls -al" aka "dir" /bin/ls
is executed? Are you sure a) /bin/ls is statically linked or b) you
correctly installed the shared libs and, if needed, the dynamic linker
for /bin/ls?

Do you have a /etc/shells file with the list of valid
shells in there? /bin/sh,/bin/csh, etc? I think I remember in
the wuftpd docs that Solaris doesn't have this file by default
so you have to create it.

Ok, here's what I did to fix the problem. I got gnu's version of
ls which is within their fileutils file. I found it at:

ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/systems/gnu/fileutils-3.12.tar.gz

then compile the ls program in there with the -static option for LDFLAGS
and CFLAGS (using gcc). I think -Bstatic for cc. After you get the
executable, put this in ~ftp/bin. Worked for me.

Subject: heavily-accessed site w/ random hangs on specific port... suggestions?
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Greetings All,

I've read testimonials from folks who administer active Internet
sites which are using Linux on a PC and I am hoping that a few
of you will read this note and be able to offer some suggestions.
Has anyone else experienced problems similar to the ones described
below and what corrective actions were taken to resolve them?

Our site hosts one of the world's most active ftp sites: the CICA ftp software
archive. It also runs httpd and gopher servers as well as handling
a normal load of email and system-related work, e.g. compiles, file edits,
etc.

Here is the current configuration:

Hardware
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel Neptune PCI chipset
Micronics motherboard with P5-90
128MB RAM
6 GB disk (Seagate 2GB Barracuda, Seagate 4GB Hawk)
Buslogic 946C SCSI-2, PCI controller
SMC EtherPower PCI NIC
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Software
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slackware 2.3
Linux 1.2.10
xinetd 2.1.4-linux.3 (master server)
wu-ftpd 2.4 (ftp server)
NCSA httpd 1.4.1 (http server)
gn 2.08 (gopher server)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have been experiencing strangeness whereby the system "burps" for a,
sometimes extended, period of time, and connections to port 21 are not
possible -- they just timeout. However, we configured an ftp service
for port 1111 and have discovered that during a "burp" on port 21,
connections to wu-ftpd running on port 1111 are just fine. Telnet (login)
to the machine also works speedily. Random delays have occurred with as low
as 90 and as high as 190 simultaneous connections to port 21; the more
connections, the more likelihood of a delay...

In all of the above instances, xinetd is playing the role of mediator
between the incoming request and invoking the proper server.

We have noticed that "netstat" reveals a number of tcp connections in state
FIN_WAIT2. We reduced the default and max timeouts for wu-ftpd to 300 and 600
seconds, respectively, thinking that perhaps the delays were due to a scarcity
of sockets, with needed resources being tied up in FIN_WAIT2. Reducing
the timeout has reduced the number of processes in FIN_WAIT2, but has not
prevented the random delays.

The question arises: why do ftp connections to port 1111, telnet/login
to port 23, and smtp via port 25 all connect immediately without delay*?
Connections to these ports depend on allocation of sockets just like the ftp
connection requests to port 21. What are the causative differences here?

Log file data seems to indicate that wu-ftpd is not being forked by
xinetd on port 21 during these burps while wu-ftpd is being forked speedily
in response to port 1111 requests. Thus, the problem does not appear
to be directly caused by wu-ftpd. Nor does it appear to be caused by
xinetd. If wu-ftpd can be initiated on port 1111 by xinetd, why
can't the same executable be forked to communicate with port 21?

During these random delays existing connections on port 21 do not seem to
be adversely effected.

Thinking that lightening the load of xinetd might be in order, we are
now running one instance of xinted on ports 21 and 1111 with another
instance on all the other ports. The delays continue at random times on
port 21 while during these periods connections to port 1111 are speedily
answered.

At one point the kernel parameter NSOCKETS_LINUX in <net.h> was increased
to 2048, but that did not make any difference either.

Does anyone have suggestions for further investigation or possibly a
method for resolving this quandary? We have attempted to systematically
narrow the search to focus on the source of the problem. Now we are
wondering if there may be some kind of resource-wait deadlock happening
occasionally somewhere in the system.

We have been "hanging in there" with Linux for a variety of reasons.
However, we are reaching a point where the problem has become an acute
nuisance and so have been giving serious consideration to switching OS's,
e.g. FreeBSD.

Any assistance or suggestions folks may lend to resolution of this problem
will be greatly appreciated. The net is a great resource; especially, the
thousands of folks working on developing kernel and application level
code for Linux.

Any words of wisdom out there?

Thanks,

eric

Greetings again,

I forgot to detail the duration of the delays reported in my previous note.

The delays on port 21 occur for as little as 1-2 minutes to as long as
30-40 minutes.

So this does not appear to be a matter of a few packets being waylaid.

Thanks again for any help that may be forthcoming.

The same problem exists with AIX, BTW.

There are so many questions asked and asked again... isn't there
a FAQ fur wu-ftpd?

Wrong! It works only for anonymous. You should put it in ~username/bin too,
because ~username is the root after chroot().

Hi,

I've been following this list for a few months now, and I don't know how
many times I've seen this question:

wu-ftpd 2.4.2beta5 from Academ
linux 1.2.10 and 1.2.13
Shadow on one, not on the other (irrelevant for this problem, apparently)

I have some guest ftp accounts (like, several thousand of them). They're
all part of group ``ftponly'', and in my /etc/ftpaccess, I have
guestgrouped ``ftponly''. I set their home dir to be /home/./username, and
they get chroot()'ed just fine. However, they cannont get a directory
listing of any kind! If I do not guestgroup them (e.g. they are now type
``real'') they don't get chroot()'ed, but get directlry listings just
fine.

I have put a statically-linked ls in ~ftp/bin, thinking that the chroot()
was breaking any possible searches for /lib/libc.so.x. I have put libc.so
in ~ftp/lib and ~ftp/usr/lib. I have created ~ftp/dev/zero. The only piece
that seems to be missing is libdl, which apparently does not exist for
a.out linux.

Has anyone successfully gotten this working with linux? Soneone told me
that libdl.so.* is part of the linux ELF libraries, so I am actually
converting a machine to ELF, hoping that the missing libdl is my problem,
and that this will resolve it.

Any clues?

Hello all!

I was wondering, where is the latest BETA copies of wu-ftpd made available?
I *really* wanna play with one :).

Heh. That worked, thanks. Dumb on my part, that was one of the first
things I tried a couple days ago, but the copy of ls that I put in /home
was not the statically linked one.

Thanks again.

I've just installed wuftp-2.4 on my SPARC 2 running

unable to "ls". I'm getting the following error

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong? I have to state
up front that I'm re-installing wuftp because I've only just
upgraded to Solaris. So perhaps my problems are not with
wuftp, but with the upgrade. All the same - any suggestions?

look like you have not make ~ftp/dev/tcp and ~ftp/dev/zero
You can create them with mknod (just look at their conterpart
in /dev to get their minor/major number).

Finally, make sure to have all libraries that ls needs if you
want to see something with "dir" (or get a static version of ls).
You can see which library is used with "truss".

Subject: .gz file transfers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Im having a problem on my linux box runnix wu-ftpd.
I can ftp text files, and .tar files to another machine no problem.
however everytime i try to trasfer a .gz file, the ftp session just hangs
at like a few thousand bites.

i can retrieve .gz files from remote sires just fine, just not send them.

on the other side, i san log into my machine from elsewhere and send
anything, including .gz files.

yet if i try to GET a .gz from my machine it hangs.

so the problem is only when a .gz tries to leave my machine, either by my
ftping out, and doing a put, or by a remote ftping in and doing a get.

this is totally bugging me out, its very wierd, nothing much shows up in
messages or xferlog or syslog, i see the connection and transfer request,
but no errors.

where can i look to diagose this? netstat shows the process is asleep
when the problem happens....

There is no "ftpstart" and seems no document about "restart" ftp server.
The only way is to read source -- "Luc, use Force!".

Rename or delete the file defined in ftpaccess, shutdown statement.
On my workstation, it is in /etc/ftpaccess:
shutdown /etc/shutmsg

Therefore, delete /etc/shutmsg, the ftp server will "restart".
Probably everyone, who use ftpshut first time, asks this question ;-)

Hey there. I recently installed and configured v2.4 of the ftp server
under Solaris 2.4. Everything was working great until I ran
the ftpshut command and brought the server down. Now, I can't
seem to get it to start again and I don't see any references in the
documentation to a "ftpstart" binary. Is there some sort of lockfile
that needs to be removed? Re-starting inetd doesnt seem to do the trick
either. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help Yanming, removing the file "shutmsg"
enabled the server. It's too bad there's nothing in the
ftpshut manpage pointing this out. Maybe Brian O'Connor
can include this in the next release.

Thanks again,
Brian

I having been running wu-ftpd on a solaris 2.3 system. It seems to be
working fine except for one thing. I can not get the login message to
appear when the user is anonymous. It will appear for other users, but
not anonymous. Does anybody know what might be going on?

Subject: wu-ftpd, fnmatch() and FreeBSD
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm mucking about with wu-ftpd on a box running FreeBSD 2.0 and I'm confused.
It appears that the expectation regarding the return code from a call to
fnmatch() is inverted (from a FreeBSD perspective). Specifically, the code
presumes a non-zero integer is returned when a match occurs; whereas, under
FreeBSD a zero is the indication of a match. This appears grievously in the
routine hostmatch() in src/access.c where it becomes impossible to login unless
one uses an access file.

This seems like a problem every BSD'r would bump into, so I must be missing
something. Is there someone here that's traveled this road...

Thanks,
Jon

Hi -

Please send e-mail direct ot [email protected] in response to this, as I am not
a subscriber to the mailing list.

Has anyone investigated modifying wu-ftp-2.4 to facilitate virtual-servers
much the same way that NCSA-httpd-1.5 can? One form would be to use a
bind-address for each invocation of ftpd; Another could be to look at the
address on which each request is received, and treat it appropriately.

If knowone has done this yet, I guess I will start looking at it seriously.

Thanks - Marc

This message must be placed in the chroot()ed area. It is being shown
when ftpd already has called chroot(). This is not true for the "banner"
message, though.

MIME-version: 1.0

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

I'm having problems getting 'dir' and 'ls -al' to work via anonymous
ftp on my Solaris 2.4 server. I'm using the following shared libraries:

ld.so*
ld.so.1*
libc.so.1*
libdl.so.1*
libintl.so.1*
libw.so.1*
nss_files.so.1*

I've verified via 'truss' that these libraries are all I should need.
I've also tried compiling the gnu 'ls' with the -static option as another
list member had recommended but this didn't seem to help either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

I'm very puzzled. While looking over my xferlog, I found that someone
accessed the anonymous ftp, even though this computer is not in my access
list. I have the following:

Tue Aug 22 08:20:16 1995 25 kkar.lanwan.fi 5656 /public/ws_ftp/ftp.txt b _ o a k
[email protected] ftp 0 *

Yet, in ftpaccess, I have:

class anonymouses anonymous 192.114.24.* 192.114.25.* 192.114.26.* 192.114.27.
* 192.114.28.* 192.114.29.* 192.114.30.* 192.114.31.* 192.114.32.* 192.114.34.*
192.114.35.* 192.114.36.* 192.114.37.* 192.114.210.* 192.114.211.* 192.114.212.*
192.114.213.* 192.114.214.* 192.114.13.*

I checked that the ftpaccess file is really working by removing my net
address from the list and seeing that then my access was denied.
kkar.lanwan.fi is not on any of the allowed nets, yet it got in!! How did
this happen?? It worries me.

Thanks for your help.

Subject: wu-ftpd on Linux + quotas + shadow passwds

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 PGP2]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm using Linux (1.1.28, I believe) with quotas and shadow passwords.

For wu-ftpd, I'm using the Academ 2.4.2 beta 5.

Problem 1) wu-ftpd doesn't recognize the shadow password libraries, even
after re-compiling.

Someone on here mentioned changing crypt() to pw_encrypt(), but that just
caused wu-ftpd to not compile. (Maybe I changed it in too many places? I
grepped for crypt() on the entire source tree, and replaced it wherever I
found it.)

If anyone can give me some help, it'd be greatly appreciated. I'll document
it and send it out to the Linux community (as well as this one) if I can
ever find the answers.

Subject: AIX wu ftpd groups question
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Strange question: Why does the AIX code in ftpd.c do a setgroups(NULL,NULL)??
This appears to have the effect of losing my supplementary groups.

>From ftpd.c:

#ifdef AIX
{
/* AIX 3 lossage. Don't ask. It's undocumented. */
priv_t priv;

priv.pv_priv[0] = 0;
priv.pv_priv[1] = 0;
setgroups(NULL, NULL);

if (setpriv(PRIV_SET|PRIV_INHERITED|PRIV_EFFECTIVE|PRIV_BEQUEATH,
&priv, sizeof(priv_t)) < 0 ||
setuidx(ID_REAL|ID_EFFECTIVE, (uid_t)pw->pw_uid) < 0 ||
seteuid((uid_t)pw->pw_uid) < 0) {
reply(550, "Can't set uid (AIX3).");
goto bad;
}
}

If I add:

initgroups(pw->pw_name,pw->pw_gid);

just after the setgroups(), I get all my supplementary groups... Is there
some reason that groups are being removed, or was the author just expecting
setpriv to do things correctly?

I tried using the setpcred() routine, which does set all the groups correctly,
but it also sets the saved uid to the user uid. wu-ftpd appears to need the
saved uid to be 0 for some reason (creating the priv port for talking back to
the client?)

Thanks for any insight.

Edit src/config/config.lnx and define SHADOW_PASSWORD; it normally comes
undef'd. Then, edit src/makefiles/Makefile.lnx and uncomment (or define
as needed) the -lshadow directive on the LIBES line.

That should do it. If not, we'll be here...

I don't know WHY it was added, but I can confirm that it does have the
effect of not setting any of your groups except for your primary. Comment
it out and it'll work correctly.

I just installed wu-ftpd v2.4 and now have several basic questions
that are not answered clearly in the man pages. Is there a FAQ
for wu-ftpd? Otherwise, I need to know how to activate passwd verification
of email address so they are valid and how to activate command logging.

Thanks for your patience,

In a previous message, you wrote :

Just the crypt() in ftpd.c

Anyway, the whole story :

First :

- Get the shadow.h from the latest shadow package.
- After building the shadow package, you have a libshadow.a.

Then :
- Copy shadow.h to the src dir.
- Copy libshadow.a to the support dir.
- Edit src/config.h to say '#define SHADOW_PASSWORD' instead of #undef.
- Edit the LIBES line in src/Makefile to read :

LIBES = -lsupport -lbsd -lshadow

And then modify src/ftpd.c in line 1061 to read :

xpasswd = pw_encrypt(passwd, salt);

That should do the trick. Sorry I was a bit terse in my first remark, it was
at a level of people who build software packages like wu-ftpd or sendmail
as leisure activity.

Thanks, and no appology necessary. With your help and the other responses
I've gotten, I should be able to do the job.

P.S. I think you can get "RFC 822" licence plates from North Dakota for a
price. Our normal plates are "AAA NNN" (Alpha/Num). I'm personally looking
for "EVH 316" since I'm a big Van Halen fan. (Edward Van Halen, 316 was the
title of his last solo.) Plus, since we have a puny population, we're just
around "EMM 000" right now. There might just be hope for me getting them by
luck! :-)

Yea. In src/config/config.lnx, #define SHADOW_PASSWORD. In
src/makefiles/Makefile.lnx, enable -lshadow.

I think this has been sent to Linux users a thousand times. BTW. ;^)

AFAIK, there's no such FAQ yet. We should try and find a volunteer to

While there may not be a FAQ, check out the URL

http://fegmania.wustl.edu/

At this writing, the first two links on the page above are connected to
information about WU-FTPD. One is a general "README" type of page detailing
where to get it, etc. The other is a searchable archive of the WU-FTPD
mailing list. I've found it very helpful.

Hi,

You can get it from ftp.avian.org together with a fix-kit from *Hobbit*. That

Is anyone out there making a FAQ?
How many people think they would benefit from a FAQ?
Anyone out there at least interested in contributing to a FAQ?

I am still learning wu-ftpd and probably have many things to learn about
it. While I alone could not write a FAQ, if there was someone else that
was very familiar with wu-ftp that would put some time into the FAQ maybe
we could at LEAST get 1 "BETA" FAQ out? All the programs I have used
have always had a FAQ and I am wondering why there is no FTP Faq?

anyone interested <Grin> See YA

Subject: transfer meter???
Content-Type: text
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi. I've been very happy with using administering WU-FTPD, but recently it was
brought to my attention by some Microsloth Windoze users that when they do
transfers using Netscape (and other WWW browsers), they get this little
'thermometer' or 'transfer meter' that shows progress on downloading a file.

A transfer using their UNIX shell account shows NO 'progress meter' and they
sit there waiting impatiently, wondering what's going on.

Is it possible for an FTP client to show transfer status during the transfer
for dialup, shell (non-PPP/SLIP) accounts? BTW, not all of our users can (or
want to) use a WWW browser for FTP transfers.

Thank you for your assistance. John

This is a function of the ftp client software on the shell account. The
best thing to do is replace the stock ftp client with ncftp, which has
many more bells and whistles (including multiple progress meters). ncftp
is free; fetch the latest at:

hash mode (command 'hash' at the ftp prompt) prints a # for every
kilobyte or so downloaded, which is a bit of indication. Ncftp prints
a percentage.

Hello All, I'm new here

I've just build Wu 2.4 for Solaris 2.3 and I configured the log file
in /src/pathnames.h to be /var/adm/xfer.log

The file exists and has the following permissions: 644
The ftpaccess file has the following define:

log commands anonymous,real
log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound

but the transfers are not being logged into the file.

The daemon is running with the -l flag and the -a flag -t and -T

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

A few people have already answered this but I guess you didn't see the
answers. There are a coupld of ways to show progress on unix ftp clients
one is to turn "hashing" on bye typing "hash". This will print a "#" for
every kilobyte of transfer. Another way and probably better is to get a
copy of NcFTP client. It will show either a percent number or a bar like
a thermometer telling you transfer progress. It has many other nice
features over the standard ftp client. This has nothing to do with
wu-ftpd.

Hello All.

I've just joined the list -- hope this is appropriate. If there is an
archive for this list, I couldn't find it. Please point me to it if one
exists.

I've just installed wu-ftpd 2.4 on a NeXT cube running Next Step 3.2. I
have a couple of problems about logging.

First, is there any way to log *connections* other than by using the
syslogd? I mean, is there any way to get ftpd to do this itself, the way
that it logs transfers? My problem here is that to get syslogd to log ftp
connections, I seem to need to have a line for daemon.info in my
/etc/syslog.conf. daemon.notice doesn't seem to do it. The problem is
that logging daemon.info for the whole system causes an enormous amount of
junk to get logged by other processes. I would like to log ftp
connections, *without* logging all the other junk. I can think of only
two ways to do that: one is to have ftpd do the logging itself, by
whatever mechanism it uses to log transfers. Is that possible? Or is
there some simple hack to the wu-ftpd sources that would change the
logging level for ftp connections from info to notice?

Second, I cannot seem to get ftpd to log commands. I have the following
line in my /usr/local/etc/ftpaccess:

log commands anonymous,real

(I wrote that down -- didn't directly cut and paste it from the file.)
Still, ftpd does not appear to be logging any commands at all, at least
not in xferlog. (I don't think there's another log file; is there?) I
tried removing and recreating the line in ftpaccess, on the chance that
there was some weird non-printing character munging the works. Didn't
help. ftpd *does* log *transfers* exactly as configured, so it's not
that xferlog is unwritable or any such thing.

I went through the installation instructions pretty carefully. I did make
a copy of libsys_s.B.shlib, as per the instructions for Next Step. There
do not appear to be any permissions problems, and as I say transfers are
getting logged correctly. I have not been able to find anything relevant
in the man pages (except ftpaccess.5, which appears to say I'm doing
things right.) I have double-checked my pathnames, both by hand and with
src/ckconfig. But that can't be the problem anyway, since transfers are
getting logged correctly: ftpd can find the xferlog.

The advanced logging features were one of my main reasons for installing
wu-ftpd. I'd be most grateful if someone could help me sort this
problem out.

On the chance that connecting to the server will help someone help me,
the host in question is ftp.philo.mcgill.ca (132.206.239.1). It's a
brand new server, so there are no files on it yet.

Best,

Andrew Burday

Yes, I have, under 1.2.11 (non-ELF). Wasn't that difficult, just had to
check through the config files and Makefiles.

I got the following diff (for wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-4) from ftp.funet.fi

But that doesn't really do very much, so I think it should compile without

Yeah. Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-5] compiled outta the box. Non-shadow
did, I haven't spent a ton of time recompiling it on my shadowed machines.
It didn't go first time, and I didn't spend any real time on it.

1) The wu-2.4.2.academ[BETA-5] that compiles out of the box for Linux is at:

ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-5.tar.Z

(Please stay tuned to this list for updates, which, according to the release
notice from the author could be out "any day now." Yeah, that and
Windows 95. Ooops. :-) Really, though, thanks for all the work, Stan!)

2) The way to get wu-ftpd to compile with the shadow package came from
Koos van den Hout:

##############################################################################
First :

- Get the shadow.h from the latest shadow package.
- After building the shadow package, you have a libshadow.a.

Then :
- Copy shadow.h to the src dir.
- Copy libshadow.a to the support dir.
- Edit src/config.h to say '#define SHADOW_PASSWORD' instead of #undef.
- Edit the LIBES line in src/Makefile to read :

LIBES = -lsupport -lbsd -lshadow

And then modify src/ftpd.c in line 1061 to read :

xpasswd = pw_encrypt(passwd, salt);

Well, I've just had a look at the TODO list, and it appears that both my
questions are on it (command logging and a separate ftplogd, items 3 and
11). Also figured out where to change LOG_INFO to LOG_NOTICE in ftpd.c.
What can I say? Yesterday was NOT a good day, and I am not really a
programmer. Sorry to bug the list prematurely.

The wu-ftpd maintainers might want to add comments to the sample
ftpaccess file, or change the ftpaccess(5) man page, to make clear that
command logging is not yet implemented. Those documents really do make
it sound like command logging ought to work.

Best,

Andrew Burday

Hello, everyone.

I installed wu-ftpd-2.4 on AIX3.2.5 last year.
I sometimes check the current number of users with 'ftpwho' and 'ftpcount'
command. Then, I find the some ghosts who loginned many days
ago, after reboot, the users disappear.
I don't know why such users remain for some days.
Timeout? wu-ftpd bug?

If someone knows, please show me the reason.
My e-mail address is [email protected].
Please send e-mail direct to me, because I'm not a
subscriber to the mailing list.

Thank you.

Sounds like what you need is a tcp wrapper program. This gets called
by inetd just before the ftpd daemon runs to log the connection. Do
an archie search for "tcpwrapper". It can be used on any tcp connection...
finger, telnet, etc...

Again, thanks. I know this group covers the FTP server, but I did'nt know

Hello All,

It's me again.

Just installed Wu-ftp 2.4 on Solaris 2.3.

Managed to get the xferlog thing working.

Got another question now.

How does one create a statically linked binary, ie: gzip and
ls ?

And, I am encountering another problem....real users can
upload files while my anonymous users are not.

Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

Greetings,

Has anyone gotten a clean compile on an SGI running IRIX 5.3? I tried
using "build sgi", but that fails miserably:

Making ftpd.
cc -O -DDEBUG -I.. -I../support -L../support -c glob.c
cfe: Error: glob.c, line 95: missing size for array 'agargv'
char *agargv[(NCARGS/6)];

[repeats three more times...]

After poking around, it appears that NCARGS is not being properly defined
anywhere.

Color me clueless.

Thanks,

James

Subject: FCNTL Lock Failed
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

To All....
Since this is the first time I'm using this process, I may not be doing this posting correctly. Please take this fact into consideration before I get
flamed. Anyway, I'm having a problem with the WU-FTPD and here's a brief
description.

I've installed the WU ftpd and I'm having a problem with the deamon
releasing itself. I'm running on a Sparc 20 under Solaris 2.4. The
problem scenerio is:

After an initial ftp session is established on the Sparc 20, and the
user has exited using the "bye" command, "ftpd" continues to run. This
is determined by doing a "ps -deaf | grep ftp". When another ftp session is initiated, the user is prompted for his login, but never gets the
password prompt. This is because the ftp server has placed this process
into a "sleep" state and generates the following message.

"Aug 28 12:00:44 hawkeye ftpd[5771]: sleeping: fcntl lock of pid file
failed: Resource temporarily unavailable"

I've made sure that the ftpd is owned by "bin" and is the group "bin".
Any help on this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks......

I have seen several messages lately about "dir" not working properly.
After upgrading from SunOS 4.1.x to Solaris 2.x, I am having the
same problem. Did anyone solve this? I never saw a summary message

Thanks.

Hi!

I need to configure a new group of real users that on login will chroot
to their home directorys but will be able to create and delete files.
The problem I have is that I already have a guest group that is not allowed
to do just that.

Is there a way to config. two diffrenet "guest" groups each with it's own
delete, chown etc. directives? the two groups must do a chroot on connection.

Regards, Yossi.

For people who are having problems with ls -al and dir on solaris 2.x systems,
you might try the following to find out what's missing...

truss -f chroot ~ftp /bin/ls

This will run the ls command in the same chroot'd environment that anonymous
FTP runs in. The truss will show you what files/libraries/devices are
accessed and where the ls is looking for them.

Trey - Yes, I solved the problem. ~ftp/dev/zero had the wrong
major number. I was useing 3 instead of 13.

Subject: restricting wu-ftpd to only one site
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Greetings,
I'm in the process of bringing up wu-ftpd 2.4 on one of my RS/6000s
running AIX 3.2.5. I'm interested in setting up this ftp site for
campus-only access for the storage of site-license software. I found the
entry for denying sites in ftpaccess, but how do you say only allow users in
from a few specific addresses?

I tried finding an FAQ for this list, but couldn't find one. Please let
me know if one exists. Thanks.

First set up your ftpaccess to only allow connections from the specific
addresses you want to allow. If all of the allowed users will be accessing
the same files, and don't need different access levels, then it sounds like
you need to use the group/class features of wu-ftpd. I havn't needed to
use them, so I can't give you specific instructions, but at least you know
where to look. :) If I understand them correctly, then you can use the
private keyword to give the anon user access to a particular group via the
SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS commands (which the user must execute to get the
enhanced access). You'll have to create a /etc/ftpgroups file. This is
described in the ftpaccess man page.

A FAQ list does not exist, though someone may be volunteering soon.

Subject: Can't create data socket
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I've recently installed wu-ftpd-2.4 on my SPARC 2 running Solaris 2.4.
Installation went by the book, but when I ftp into the machine I
get the following message everytime I do an "ls":

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

I've played with ownerships and passwd/group files, but cannot
seem to get rid of this problem. Also, I am able to parse the
directory structure, but can't "ls". i.e. I can "cd /pub" or
"cd /incoming", but I can't "ls /pub".

Does anybody know what's going on?

The easiest way is to get tcp wrapper, it is designed to do such jobs.

I had exactly the same error on our SCO 3.2v4.2 before I created directories
~ftp/dev and ~ftp/shlib and put the necessary files there.

I hope your operating system documentation tells you what to put there.

Hope this helps,
Kari
