While searching for FAQ files relating to wu-ftpd (to find out which questions
are answered in those) I found something...

A wu-ftpd faq!

It's at :

ftp://ftp.cs.bgu.ac.il:/pub/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd.FAQ

At this moment I am looking into it.

It misses some stuff specific to certain OS'es, and needs to be updated to
deal with newer versions of the wu-ftpd.

I'll mail the maintainer asking how to continue this.

Never mind. The maintainer of a FAQ doesn't need necessarily to be the guru
(TM). It's more of an editorial work.

Subject: wu-ftpd -2.4 ftpcmd.y help!
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
X-Mailer: LeeMail 2.0.3
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello all,

If this list is still alive:

I've compiled wu-ftpd-2.4 on an SGI running IRIX 5.3. Everything works except
the "site exec" command. I think ftpcmd.y->ftpcmd.c isn't working properly,
but I've been unable to determine why. The ftpd returns "command not
understood", which seems to be a parsing problem, rather than the layout of
ftp-exec being wrong. It worked under ftpd-2.0 before I upgraded!

Any help is most appreciated. I can't get subscribed, so e-mail me personally
if you would.

Thanks!
John Lillibridge

My first version of the faq is born.

At this moment, I only have a hypertext version available (and yes, there
is a counting error in the index, I'll have a look at the script).

http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html

Comments are welcome. It's a bit lacking in the 'how do I determine which
devices/libraries I need in ~ftp' section for other operating systems.

Anyway, have a nice weekend (I already started mine ;)

Didn't your SunOS come with an ftpd? In this case, you should whip your

Hello,
I recently installed wu-ftp-2.4.2-beta7 on a linux 1.3.37 machine. The
ftpd appears to work ok as anonymous login. However, I cannot login as any
other user. Is wu-ftpd compatible with shadow 3-2-2? Any suggestions
would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Hello all,

I have wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 5 on a Linux version 1.3.9. I recently installed
shadow on my system and my users who have private ftp directories cannot
access it anymore!

Here is how it looks in my /etc/passwd:
guest1:x:1157:100:guest1:/home/guest1/./:/etc/ftponly

As a temporary solution, I copied the password in my shadow file and
replaced it where the 'x' was:

guest1:ENCRYPTED PASSWD:1157:100:guest1:/home/guest1/./:/etc/ftponly

Obviously the is something wrong with the shadow but what is it? I suspect
wu-ftpd because my friend has the older version (wu-ftpd 2.4) and he has no
problems and I am exactly configured like his system except that I have the
beta-5 of wu-ftpd 2.4

I recompiled wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 5. But before recompiling, I edited the
config.h file and changed the following thing:
#undef SHADOW_PASSWORD
for
#define SHADOW_PASSWORD

How come it is not working when the password is shadowed? Take note that
the rest is working perfectly. The anonymous ftp is working fine.

Can someone help me?

change the call to crypt() to pw_encrypt().

A few months ago I compiled wu-ftpd 2.4 under 386bsd, and except for
problems with regular expressions (they don't work) everything seemed
ok and it worked fine for a while.

But now it has quit working. Anyone trying to connect to my site with
ftp gets error 421 "Service not available" and ftpd leaves a core file
in the root directory.

Can anybody suggest any possible solution to this problem? When the
problem occurred the machine was rebooted but that made no difference.

Subject: guestgroup under BSDI 2.0.x
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
X-Mailer: exmh version 1.6 4/21/95
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello, all!

As some of you may recall, 2-3 weeks ago, I was struggling desperately
to get guestgrousp to work correctly under BSDI. The two issues that
remained unresolved until last week were related to 'ls': 1) while group
names showed up as names, owner names showed up as numbers and 2) the
timestamps for files were in GMT instead of local time.

Despite several helpful hints from a couple of folks on this list,
I was unable to solve the above problems. However, as I was working
with another sysadmin a week or so ago, I learned about the
"config_anonftp" utility that ships with BSDI -- this provided me
with the missing pieces I needed.

To whomever is maintaining whatever FAQ's for this wu-ftp, please add
the following info:

Setting up guestgroup for wu-ftp under BSDI 2.0.x:

1) Read the HOWTO document (available from Michael Brennen
<[email protected]>)

2) The following directories and files need to be created in
whatever directory/ies are being chrooted to (~ftp for anon ftp or
for whatever directory guest users are chrooted):

drwxr-xr-x root/wheel 0 Nov 3 01:43 1995 bin/
-r-xr-xr-x root/wheel 12288 Nov 3 01:43 1995 bin/compress
-r-xr-xr-x root/wheel 45056 Nov 3 01:43 1995 bin/gzip
-r-xr-xr-x root/wheel 12288 Nov 3 01:43 1995 bin/ls
-r-xr-xr-x root/wheel 65536 Nov 3 01:43 1995 bin/pax
drwxr-xr-x root/wheel 0 Nov 3 01:43 1995 etc/
-r--r--r-- root/wheel 793 Nov 3 01:43 1995 etc/group
-r--r--r-- root/wheel 817 Nov 3 01:43 1995 etc/localtime
-r--r--r-- root/wheel 40960 Nov 3 01:43 1995 etc/pwd.db
drwxr-xr-x root/wheel 0 Feb 3 12:34 1995 pub/
drwxr-xr-x root/wheel 0 Nov 3 01:43 1995 shlib/
-r-xr-xr-x root/wheel 298407 Nov 3 01:43 1995 shlib/libc_s.2.0

The permissions above are probably NOT what you want; you should
follow previously published guidelines regarding secure permissions
(especially for anon ftp). I reccommed tackling permissions a
directory at a time and then re-testing the guest login to verify
everything still works as expected (ie, 'ls'). If something
stops working, back out your last change!

3) Re: localtime -- I'm not clear on all the logistics of this file;
I know that it was not in the real /etc directory of the machines I am
working with but I snarfed it from another BSDI 2.0 system. I *immediately*
had to reset the system date (as root).

4) Re: pwd.db -- this files needs to be copied from the real /etc. I'm
not sure (yet) if stripped down version of passwd is required or not --
I have one in my ~ftp/etc/ directory leftover from previous attempts.
I'm fairly certain that /etc/pwd.db has to be copied to ~ftp/etc everytime
you add a new user to whatever groups you have set up with guestgroup.

Hope this helps!

Hello,

Has anyone out there successfully used the ftpconversions file to "convert"
filenames from .htm -> .html (for example, when uploading from a DOS, 8.3
system to a Unix system). Previously suggested was:

:.htm: :.html:/bin/cat %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_COMPRESS:NOTHING

But this doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Normally I would not do this, but since I maintain the guest-group howto I
probably should send notice that my email address has changed to
[email protected]. It used to be [email protected]. This is
effective as of last Friday.

Thanks to Darci Chapman for updates on BSDI; if anyone else has any
operating system specific changes be sure and let me know, as this is the
point where so many implementations fall down.

Hi,
I have in my ftp home directory a directory, let us call it deposit, in
which external people logging in as anonymous are supposed to put their
stuff. Now, I dont want that person x can read what person y has left.
Actualy the solution I adopted is to set permission as follows:

drwx-wx-wx root sys deposit

and, of course, I have forbiden to overwrite files in ftpaccess.
Now, with this solution the problem is that people cannot even ls the
directory.....

Any idea?

Thanks.

Where can I get the latest patches? (or the FAQ)

Subject: symlinks? and guestgroup
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Sender: [email protected]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi first off I am new to the list :)

but here it goes.
I was wondering is there anyway to get ftp to follow symlinks back. ie like
when you set symlinks=expand in tcsh

Here is what I have. Users in the group nobody are put in the guestgroup
so they get chrooted to the directory below their home dir. So
/home/www/username is their home dir and they are chrooted to /home/www.
Now I have a nfs mount point in /home/www/htdocs that mounts the htdocs
directory on another machine. I then put a symlink in the users directory
to point to ../htdocs/their-dir. Now I want it to come back to their home
directory when a cd .. is done.
Can something be done with cdpath or alias?

Also is there anyway to set environment variables when people ftp in and then
set the ownership for the upload in ftpaccess to the variable.

The second problem is I have the users primary group set to nobody. I then
have secondary groups that I create on both machines (ie the one users have
an account on and the one that is mounted) All the users that need write
permissions to the dir over on the mounted machine gets added to the
appropriate group. What I would like is for the ownership to be some-owner
(either www or the user) and then the secondary group that they belong to.

Possible solution I have thought of:
Making the secondary group the primary group for the user.
cons: I would have to add a bunch of groups to the guestgroup in ftpaccess
or add the users to another secondary group like nobody
Plus not every user needs this setup and I would have to decide this when
setting up the account or go back and change everything.

Is there another way?

Thanks
Brian

Thank you so much for your help. Adding the -a option in the inetd.conf file
seems to have cleared up my problem.

I really appreciate your speedy response.

Yes it does. I tested it before I posted this. If there is a .htm file
and you type "get <file>.html", you get <file>.html.

In the file INSTALL you can read this :

" If cc complains about strunames, typenames, modenames, ... being undefined
you need to install support/ftp.h as /usr/include/arpa/ftp.h (always make
a backup of the old ftp.h just in case!) and do the build again. The new
ftp.h should be a compatible superset of your existing ftp.h, so you
shouldn't have problems with this replacement."

I hope that these few lines could help you !!

This is really a FAQ, and it is answered in the installation instructions
that come with wu-ftpd. You have to copy the wu-ftpd ftpd.h to /usr/include
first.

> Where can I get the latest patches? (or the FAQ)

The second one is a meta-FAQ ;^)

Hello everyone:

I am relatively new to this list. I am trying to set up wuarchive on an SGI
machine running IRIX 5.3. I have successfully compiled all of the binaries, I
have set up the directory structure according to documention I've read in the
"Managing Internet Information Services" book to the best of my ability. When
I try connecting to my archive, I receive the following message:

ftp: connect: Connection refused

I am enclosing a listing of important files and of my directory structure. Any
help with this problem would very much be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Karen Foster

Check your /etc/inetd.conf, uncomment the line contains:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/ftpd ftpd -l
and edit it. Then, send SIGHUP to inetd:

Hello everybody !

I am relatively new to this mailing list and to the complete ftpd things.
Now I got the order to install a ftp server.... :-(

Beside a few others I have found the wu-ftpd. Now I would like to know why I should
install the wu-ftpd instead of any other (on Linux) !
I have seen a small list of features that wu offers, but I could not find any for the
other ftp-servers.... :-(

Maybe someone could tell me where I can find other ftp-servers together with some kind
of 'features-list' or just the list ?? I simply need some information to state why I
installed the wu and not another ftp-server !! I am greatful for any kind of help !!

And if I should decided to install the wu, I also could need some kind of step-to-step
instructions for the installation procedure...

Many Thanx ahead.... :-)

Yanming's suggestions were right on the money. You may also want to check
"/etc/services" to make sure that the FTP line isn't commented out.
Basically, the root cause of what you're seeing is, in all probability,
that (for whatever reason) the ftpd isn't answering on the port (21).
You can telnet directly to the port with something like "telnet
localhost 21". If everything is set right, you should get a session
along the lines of:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
{bobd 63} telnet localhost 21
Trying 128.146.116.63...
Connected to localhost.acs.ohio-state.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 barney FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-7](1) Tue Oct 24 15:25:12 EDT 1995) ready.
quit
221 Goodbye.
Connection closed by foreign host.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The other thing may be that for some reason, the place you reference in
"/etc/inetd.conf" isn't where the wu-ftpd daemon really is located.
You'll want to double check this probably. My "/etc/inetd.conf", for
example, looks like:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/ftpd ftpd -al

You may also want to look through the ftpd man page on your SGI (better yet,
look through the ftpd man page that came with wu-ftpd) for
installation/activation instructions.

I checked the SGI "chkconfig" to see if there is an "ftp" switch, but
apparently not, so that wouldn't be the problem (though other networking
related switches could be as a remote possibility).

If you didn't kill inetd with a HUP signal ( kill -HUP <pid> ), the
modified "/etc/inetd.conf" (or "/etc/services" for that matter)
configurations wouldn't have gotten loaded by the running inetd
(Yanming did point this out in his message, I'm just repeating it in
case you overlooked it for some reason). I hope this helps.

Oops; maybe I have it set up backwards then; what i'd like to do is
from by DOS box (for example) is put a .htm file to a Unix box and
have the file automatically renamed to .html.

Do I want this instead:

:.html: :.htl:/bin/cat %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_COMPRESS:NOTHING

Thanks in advance!

The closest thing to a FAQ here at Washington U. is the

here at :

Note that this is a change from the old fegmania.wustl.edu

Forgive me if I am wrong but if you installed the "Slackware" version
it comes bundled with wu-ftpd and it does the basic setup for you on
installation of Slackware. I installed Slackware on at least 25 machines
at work and as a side note I replaced the ftpd on our IBM RS/6000 boxes
with wu-ftpd because it is so much more configurable and has better
logging capabilities.

Hi Folks,

I was wondering if there is any special incantation you have to
perform in order to get the wu-ftpd (ftpd) daemon to grant FTP access to
users who have real login accounts on my system. This particular system
is a Sun SPARC-IPC running SunOS 4.1.3_U1B, and I use the -al flags on my
/etc/inetd.conf ftpd entry for logging and stuff.

I am also curious to know if I have to do something in the ftpd.c
code to have it do a chdir() to the user's local directory instead of the
chroot() call that is currently there. Hmmm....

If anyone can help, I would be eternally grateful! Direct
replies are appreciated, but I'll take 'em any way I can get 'em.

Have a good one!

Marcus E. Harris

Nope. Should work right away. You could have done what I did though...

I forgot to put /bin/csh in the /etc/shells file when I added a special
/etc/ftponly entry for a guest group.

If you are using Windows, get WSFTP from http://www.tucows.com.
WSFTP has a neat feature to have configurations by file extention.
It also has the option of asking what file name you want to use on
the remote end. I use this all the time to edit my web pages, and
while not totally automatic, it is fairly painless.

Hey, thanks for the pointer; I'm already using WSFTP. Additionally,
I have to deal with users who sometimes have 1000's of .htm files
that need to be uploaded to a Unix type box. I really need a transparent
solution :-)

Thanks again, though!

Subject: dangling processes in Wu-ftpd
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Arrrrgh. I was given a version of the wu-ftpd in source and as requested, I've
modified it heavily for my company's needs. I don't know what version it is,
I'm afraid. :(

Each time a user connects to it, it leaves a dangling process in their wake:

kevink 142 20.3 1.3 104 384 ? R 15:26 18:10 -que: kevink: QUIT (ftpd

Now-- does anybody know what source code changes were necessary to solve this
problem? I *would* upgrade if I could, but the changes are so extensive, merging
would be nigh-impossible. :P

Second, it seems like there was an archive somewhere with all of the old messages.
Where can I go to find this?

Thanks in advance,

Confirm that you created your ftp directory with pub,etc,dev,bin,usr
directories with the necessary files as specified in the docs. You MUST
have not only 'ls' in bin, but all of its dynamic libraries as well.
Determine this with: ' ldd ls' .

Here's a list of my chrooted ftp usr/lib directory for Solaris 2.3 on
Sun1000:

ld.so libdl.so.1 libsocket.so nss_nisplus.so.1
ld.so.1 libintl.so libsocket.so.1 straddr.so
libc.so libintl.so.1 libw.so straddr.so.2
libc.so.1 libnsl.so libw.so.1
libdl.so libnsl.so.1 nss_files.so.1

Also make sure that you properly CREATE the chrooted device files.

Good luck. I've been there!

True.

Last time I got that error message was when I copied the ftp-setup to
another machine. Because of the special files in the dev directory I used
cpio. Turned out that cpio on Solaris 2.4 (SPARC and x86 version) doesn't
put the major device number in the cpio-archive unless you use the -c
option (which, according to the man page, is needed "when the origin and
the destination machines are different types"):

% ls -l
crw-rw-rw- 1 root ftp 11, 42 Apr 4 1995 tcp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root ftp 99, 1 Apr 4 1995 ticotsord
crw-rw-rw- 1 root ftp 11, 41 Apr 4 1995 udp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root ftp 13, 12 Apr 4 1995 zero

% ls | cpio -o | cpio -itv
crw-rw-rw- 1 root ftp 0, 42 Apr 4 16:13 1995, tcp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root ftp 0, 1 Apr 4 16:13 1995, ticotsord
crw-rw-rw- 1 root ftp 0, 41 Apr 4 16:13 1995, udp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root ftp 0, 12 Apr 4 16:13 1995, zero

but:

% ls | cpio -oc | cpio -itv
crw-rw-rw- 1 root ftp 11, 42 Apr 4 16:13 1995, tcp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root ftp 99, 1 Apr 4 16:13 1995, ticotsord
crw-rw-rw- 1 root ftp 11, 41 Apr 4 16:13 1995, udp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root ftp 13, 12 Apr 4 16:13 1995, zero

Probably I don't use cpio often enough ... :-)

You need ~ftp/dev/tcp and ~ftp/dev/zero

This site would be grateful for any assistance with the following
problem with ANONYMOUS access. Replies to this enquiry should be
sent directly to "[email protected]".

We have installed WU-ftpd, version 2.4(6), under Solaris 2.3.
It replaced an older version of the WU-ftpd that we had been
running on a SunOS 4.1.3 system. The new FTP Archive under Solaris
appeared to work fine when tested from ftp clients on other
Sun systems. Problems arose, however, with the FTP 'ls' command
when the clients were HP-UX systems or when Netscape running on
Novell-PC clusters attempted anonymous access and tried to present
the files in the directories from /pub downwards.

We tracked the problem down to the "LIST" command emitted by the
FTP client end. We were surprised to discover that the FTP 'ls'
command emitts "LIST" on some systems (eg HP-UX) and "NLST" from
other clients (eg Suns).

Our problem is that the FTP daemon on the Solaris system does not
respond to either the "LIST" command or the "NLST -l" command
that it receives from the client. "NLST" however works OK.

The 'ls' binary in the FTP daemons "/bin" directory behaves as
expected when the root user does, say, "./ls -l" or "./ls -la".

If there is an FAQ list for the WU FTP daemon we would welcome
info on pointers to where a current version can be obtained.

Thanks in anticipation of help.

Have you installed all the necessary devices in ~ftp/dev and libs in ~ftp/usr/lib
(if you are using shared bins)? The Solaris Man pages for ftpd are quite good
about listing how to do this. More than just dev/zero is required. I usually
compile a statically linked "ls", generally one that provide more info. Does
"dir" work from the HP clients?

When you can get in, WU has it of course. Also see ftp.academ.com:/pub/wu-ftpd

Don't forget to check and match the mode and ownership of the /dev devices
you copied/created/mknod'd. Some things don't work well if they can't
access the devices (like passive!!).

Also check that you have /etc/passwd and /etc/group pruned and copies
into ~ftp/etc.

Enjoy!

And how does one get "rename" to execute with each transfer? Without
going into a lot of detail, the best solution for the environment this
is targeted for is to have ftpd on the Unix box do the rebame/conversion;
I'd rather not hack ftpd but that is an acceptable solution once I've
verified that ftpconversions will not do it for me.

I told myself to stay out of this, but now I just can't help it. Why
do these files need to be renamed at all? Every HTTP server I know of
can be configured to treat *.htm files the same as *.html files. For
instance, the NCSA httpd looks at a file called 'mime.types' in its
configuration directory. In order to have *.htm map to *.html, it
should have this line:

text/html html htm

At least one of our users is using FTP on a PC to ship *.htm files into
our Web filespace and he is not bothering to rename the files from
*.htm to *.html and we are serving those files with no problems.

Hello, all,

It's a long story and ultimately I have no control over it; yes, I'm
quite aware that httpd servers can be made to serve up .htm files. But
that's not what I'm asking for, is it?

Thanks anyway -- it's quite apparent that it's time to put this particular
request to bed :-)

Cheerio,

The only problem then is all the links to the *.html files inside
each HTML file. Ex: you have a link like <a href="biff.html> and
biff.html is now called biff.htm, you have a problem. You can solve
this by changing all your links (which you can do with sed or a perl
script) but then you have to weed out internal .htm links from
external .html links (which you can do with an intelligent perl
script). Gets to be a nightmare if you have thousands of files. Of
course you only have to do this conversion once...

Yet another option is to use a PC OS that can handle long file names
like Win95 or WinNT. Of course finding HTML tools that support long
file names is another matter.

Yeah, but it says "The current version of the wuarchive-ftpd server is
2.4 and was released on April 14, 1994.".

Subject: Allow space in filename, how to specify path-filter?
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I want to setup path-filter in /etc/ftpaccess to allow guest
to use space in file name. But, I fail to do it.
If I put a space in the regular expression, the client always get:

553 Unmatched [ or [^: No such file or directory.

I tried put \, "", '', none of them works.

Is it possible? If so, how to specify the path-filter statement?

Thanks in advance.

What is the present address of the wuftpd mailing list?

How do I set the upload permissions for PRIVATE uploads, not
anonymous uploads. They seem to default to rw-rw-r--.

Change the value of CMASK in ftpd.c to the 1's complement of what you
want the read/write permissions to be. 022 give 644 permission.

wu-ftpd inherits the umask from inetd. Users can change the umask using
SITE UMASK.

Subject: OFFICIAL CHANGES in ./wu-ftpd-2.4/INSTALL
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

As many of you may know, the mailing lists for wu-ftpd have moved to
mail.wustl.edu, so requests are now sent to [email protected].
Also, Bryan O'Connor (the original author of wu-ftpd) is no longer
providing support for wu-ftpd. Therefore, in order to minimize confusion
in the future, a few simple changes have been made to the INSTALL file
included in the distribution. These changes occur at the end of the file,
and are included here for convenience:

-- begin quote --

14. There are two mailing lists available that discuss the server.
They are wu-ftpd and wu-ftpd-announce. To subscribe to either list,
send a message to [email protected] with no subject and
"subscribe <listname> <Your Name>" in the body of the message. Please
note that the <Your Name> field is required, and should be your NAME, not
your e-mail address (the e-mail address is determined automatically).

15. Note: Bryan O'Connor no longer provides support for wu-ftpd. Please do
not send him mail about wu-ftpd; instead, direct inquiries to the mailing
list mentioned above. Thanks.

--------------
wu-ftpd 2.4
written by Bryan O'Connor

-- end quote --

These changes are obviously not enough to warrant a new version number;
however, the changes have been incorporated into a new .tar.Z to
facilitate automatic updating of the distribution on various mirror sites.

The revised version can be found at:

wuarchive.wustl.edu:/packages/wuarchive-ftpd/wu-ftpd-2.4.tar.Z

with size (in 1024K blocks) and date:

187226 Nov 13 17:16

The CHECKSUMS file has been updated with the checksums for the new
tar.Z-file (the 2.3 -> 2.4 patch and its checksum remain unchanged, as
the patch does not affect the INSTALL file).

If you mirror/carry wu-ftpd 2.4 on an FTP site, or know of an FTP site
that does, please encourage them to get the newest revision; it will save
everyone a few headaches in the long run.

If you have any questions concerning this minor change, feel free to mail
me at the address below. (I'll probably post the question and the reply
to the list for the benefit of everyone.)

Thanks for your understanding,

The reason I called it the "release" version is because, as far as I know,
2.4 is the last "official" release. There are other versions available
because there are other people working on newer releases, since Bryan is
no longer working on the project.

I e-mailed Bryan about this, and he responded as follows:

-- begin quote --

There is a group of people led by Stan Barber ([email protected]) that are
working on a new release. The beta version of this release is at:
ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-6.tar.Z
I had nothing to do with it -- I only know about it because they talk
about it on the wu-ftpd list.

-- end quote --

Unfortunately, since no one has "officially" taken over the wu-ftpd
development process, more than one group of people have put together
their own "next version".

Your best bet would be to post to the list about it (I'm cc'ing this to
the list, so that might solve your problem).

Hi,
I installed wu-ftpd on my Unix (Solaris) Workstation. I also installed
zip on $FTP_HOME/bin directory and add the following to ftpconversions:

: : :.zip:/bin/zip -r -k -l - %s :T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_COMPRESS:ZIP

in order to get "on the fly" zipped files and directories. Now, the stuff
works for plain files (such as postscript files) but doesnt work for
directories.

Anyone can help?

Thanks a lot.

Hello all.

I have a few questions regarding the ftpconversions file.

I currently have wu ftp-2.4 built and installed on
a Solaris 2.4 machine, I am not having any problems
with ls, dir or access.

My problem is as follows.

When I ftp into our archive and type

get file.tar when the actual file is file.tar.gz
the archive correctly responds and uncompresses
the file.

Unfortunately when I try to download the file
with Netscape and uncompress it on the fly
then Netscape is not uncompressing.

How does one compensate. Should this be defined in
the .mailcap or .mime.types files instead of the
ftpconversions ?

Thanks.

I can't get my incoming directory to work. Here is what I have set up:

drwxr-xr-x 4 root staff 512 Nov 14 13:02 incoming

and, the containing directories are also set up as 755. My ftp access has the
following:

# specify the upload directory information
upload /local/ftp * no
upload /local/ftp /pub/incoming yes root staff 0600 nodirs

When I try and log in as anonymous, etc. I get a permission refused for
upload error message. My ftpd is running from the inetd as user ftp. If I
open the directory up as world writable, then the ownership and permissions
do not change. Anybody got a hint for me?

Thanks,
David

Set permissions to allow write to the directory. I use 0733 - the
directory contents are not visible, and coupled with the line below, the
directory cannot be used for trading illicit software and other material
I don't want on my site.

ftpaccess:

upload /home/ftp /incoming yes root daemon 0400 nodirs

I also have the above line in /etc/ftpaccess - you can't read back what
you put up, so it is a one way street.

I've tried this, but it still does not change the owner and group. It also
still allows directories to be placed in incoming. Anybody else have a
suggestion?

I was able to prevent the directories from being created by changing this:

upload /usr/spool/ftp * no
to
upload /usr/spool/ftp * no nobody nobody 0000 nodirs

This is on a Solars 2.4/SPARC running wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-7]

In order for the server to manipulate ownership of files, it must be running
as root.

I've tried it on SunOS and it only works in certain circumstances. I
believe there is a problem in the wu-ftpd but I didn't get any response
from the list or wuftp-bugs mail. (and I found a workaround that will do
me for now)

The server was runing as root but the disk was mounted via NFS. There
was NO NFS problem with creating files as root in the shell but there
WAS a problem running through wu-ftpd. The kludge fix I made was to
have the incoming file owned by ftp (The only usercode it would allow)
and change the mode to 000. This stops anyone reading the file out again
and wuftpd stops people trying to create a file with a name that
already exists

Not sure if this is secure but it is the best I can think of at the moment

The error message for those interested came up in /var/adm/messages and was
NFS write error 13 (which is permission denied). As I said -- only occurs
when writing through wuftpd -- not running as root.

I had and still have a very similar problem under solaris 2.4. FTPD runs
as root of group "bin" but whatever I put in ftpaccess the incoming files
are owned by ftp of group ftp and set with -rw-rw-r file permissions. Ftpd
version is 2.4.2 beta 4 from academ (because beta 5 had even more
problems, maybe I will try beta 7 if I have time to go through the
upgrade).

This is probably the cause of the problem.

Sounds like you mount NFS fs exported from the same workstation like I
did. If this is the case, put no__root_squash in your /etc/exports or
something similar to that. I HAD same problem before and this fixed it.

May be this solve your problem but I'm not sure that is a good idea to give a
logging shell to a user without password. Theoriclay you should set the
entry to
ftp:x:30000:30000:Anonymous FTP user:/home/ftp:/nosuchshell
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Otherwise you let a serious security hole in your system.

Because you haven't put bash into /etc/shells.

The reason is that SunOS 4.1.4 does not have the /etc/shells file
(no document either said so. I discover it after several rounds of
trying to debug the wu-ftpd itself).

Just make a /etc/shells file with the following. Add other shells,
at the end, if you need to.

------------- to be pasted into /etc/shells ------------------

# The list of acceptable shells for ftpd, chsh, vipw, and
# eventually others. "getusershell(3)" should be used by
# programs that wish to read this file. See related man
# pages for specific details on use of this file by individual
# programs.
#
# Shell names must begin with a '/'.
#
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/tcsh

Yes. If you click a file in an ftp archive, the file is requested with its
complete name instead of the postfix stripped. Anyway, you don't actually
want to uncompress a file _before_ downloading it, do you?

Check the FAQ at http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.

The part there about long shadow passwords is linux-specific. If you're
running on another platform then Linux it's possible that there is some other
function for long shadow passwords (look in your local shadow.h).

I'd be very interested in knowing what that function is then ;)

Can somebody help me with the following problem. I have a local user that
uses bash as his login shell. And for some reason this appears to prevent
him from ftping to the machine, as he recieves an access denied message.

However if i change the login shell to csh, he can ftp and connect correctly.

Why is this ?

Thanks in advance

check /etc/shells. It lists the valid shell pathnames for
chsh (if you have it) and ftp. Should be 1 entry per line,
like
/bin/sh
/usr/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/usr/bin/csh
/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/tcsh

Note that /bin/xxx and /usr/bin/xx must both be listed, even though
they may be the same file. The check is made via strcmp() of a
line in /etc/shells against the string in the shell field of
/etc/passwd.

How come I get overloaded with <defunct> processes when anonymouses users

Be sure bash is listed in /etc/shells.

Hah,

I fixed my own problem. I found out something really interesting. I had
ftp defined in /etc/passwd as such:

ftp:*:200:200::/local/ftp/./:/bin/ksh

I found out that if I redefined this as:

ftp:*:200:200::/local/ftp:/bin/ksh

Then everything all of a sudden started working. Can someone please
explain this to me? Thanks for all of the suggestions anyway.

David

Hello, I have just joined this list, and I am looking for info
about using 16 CHAR shadow password with wu-ftpd. Is there patch
or some work around so that wu-ftpd will support 16 CHAR shadow
passwords?

Not sure precisely why it changed it, unless it has to do with
pattern matching the path in ftpaccess. Too much other stuff to do to
stop to look at the code right now.

However -- I would remove the /bin/ksh as the shell and put in
/etc/ftponly, where /etc/ftponly does not exist but is found listed in
/etc/shells. This will make it more secure from someone using the ftp
login from a terminal. Granted, with locked password it should be okay,
but it is something I would close up for completeness.

Subject: HELP!!! PASV mode doesn't work for anonymous users
MIME-version: 1.0
Content-type: Text/Plain

X-Envelope-to: [email protected]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi folks,

I am a new site administrator for a web and ftp site at AT&T and I simply
cannot figure out what the fella before me (who is totally unreachable) has
done to turn off the PASV mode in wu-ftpd for anonymous users. Every time I
log in to the wu-ftpd server as a user (myself) it goes into passive mode
without a problem, saying:

227 Entering Passive Mode (198,112,160,40,164,30)

as it should.

However, whenever I log in as user anonymous, it *rejects the PASV command*
which is an extreme irritation as most web browsers these days use that command
to initiate FTP connections. Here's the message that I get when I issue the
PASV command as anonymous:

425 Can't open passive connection: Permission denied.

Please help me to solve this problem. I am running wu-ftpd 2.4 on a Solaris
2.4 Sparc 20. I don't know whether the wu-ftpd has been patched.
Interestingly, the problem is not restricted to wu-ftpd - I tried the Solaris
ftp daemon and it wouldn't let the anonymous user make a passive connection
either. It said:

425 Can't open passive connection

without saying anything about permissions.

Re permissions: the directories look fine, and you can literally do everything
as anonymous that one would expect to be able to do, *except* enter passive
mode. Please help!!!!! My site is www.ichange.com, if you want to see what it
does just connect via telnet to port 21. This will let you issue the standard
FTP commands and see the server's responses.

Thanks very much.

Hi everybody,

I am quite new to wu-ftpd, so pardon me if my question is very naive.
Could somebody clarify for me whether the conversions specified in the
ftpconversions file valid only for downloads from the server or even
for uploads to the server? I looked up in the man pages but could not
find this info. anywhere.

Thanks in advance,

Hi everyone,

I am delighted to announce a fix for the problem documented below. Here's what
you have to do:

> cd ~ftp/dev
> chgrp ftp tcp
> chmod 775 tcp

Apparently it needs the write bit on the tcp device. Thanks, everyone, for
your help with this. I would be interested in comment on the security
implications of this fix.

Thanks for everyone's help on this. Save this message in case you ever have to

Hy all,
I issued an ftpshut command, it worked ok, then I rebooted my host.
Now the wuftpd server is PERMANENTLY DOWN, I mean when connecting
to wuftpd you get the following answer...

500 ftp.logos.it FTP server shut down -- please try again later

I tried to reboot the host again and again but wuftpd is still
answering the same way. What's wrong? In the wuftpd documentation
there's nothing indicating any particular actions to be done after
an ftpshut!

I'm running wuftpd 2.4 on a SparcStation 5 in Solaris 2.4 Release 3/95

Any ideas?

7. Running wu-ftpd

1. ftpd allways says "221 Server shutting down. Goodbye."

The directive ftpshut in the ftpaccess file points to a file
that exists at that moment. Either change the directive or
delete the file.

Also, after you've used the ftpshut command, you'll need to
remove the ftpshut file by hand.

Have a look in /etc - is there a file called 'ftpshut'?

This is the file that the command ftpshut creates, and also the file
that ftpd looks for to find out if the server is open.

Simply delete /etc/ftpshut and your on your way again :)

Hope this works,

(BTW this happened to me as well, so its fairly normal I think :)

Cheers!

Hi friends !

I got a problem here and would like to know if any of you could
help me...

I installed the WU-FTPD on a machine, but, after adding the
proper line to the inetd.conf and killing -HUP, the inetd daemon, when I
try to FTP the machine, it prompts for a login and instead of
prompting for a password, it returns me the following message:

421 Service not available. Remote server has closed the connetion.

I commented out the shutdown command on the ftpaccess and even
deleted the line, but it didn't work.. I was wondering... Maybe this is a
problem with some of the configuration files.... Does anybody knows what
is going on ???
By the way.. I'm running the daemon on a Sparc Classic, using
SUNOS4.1.3, being served by a NIS and NFS servers... Any hint ??????

Yours Sincerely, Renato Moutinho

This indicates that your limit has been reached for logins or the limit
is 0. I get the exact same message when loggin in as anonymous because
I have my anonymous limit set at 0.

Good day to you!

When trying to compile your FTP-server, I encounter a little problem.
All the support files, etc, compile fine, but not the ftpd. So far the
little problem :-)
The first strange thing, is the Makefile for the support-library. It does not
work, but with some handwork (no alterations) the library could be created.
Second thing are the errors from compiling the ftpd.

The information I can give you is the following:

Versions I use:
Compiler: gcc 2.6.3
Make : GNU 3.71
Linux : 1.1.78
Also, I did not make *ANY* alterations whatsoever. GUNZIP/TARred in the
proper directory and "build lnx" (Yes, there is a vers.c).

--oO=> Output from 'build lnx' <=Oo--
make args are :
make opts are :

We have a very large FTP filesystem and we are having problems with users
doing recursive directory listings and then leaving, etc. before the listing
is finished. This leaves behind lots of ls's running. Is there a way to
disable recursive directory listings in wu-ftpd, or if the feature isn't
already there, in which part would I look to disable the command?

Thanks.

hello,

i have checked the man pages, and the install and still can't seem to get
regular users to login. anonymous can log in fine, but regular users
can't. i compiled with shadow supporty, cause i'm using shadowed
passwords, and have the /etc/shells file, but regular users still can't
login, and the names aren't in the ftpusers file. any suggestions?

thanks,

-bryan

There is at least one FTP server I know of who patched ls not to accept
"R" for recursive listings (but another capital letter instead). Get GNU
ls, patch the getopt() part and there you go. People mirroring off your
site with mirror must be told about this, however, so that they can set
proper flags_recursive.

I would think that the easiest fix would be to get an ls that doesn't do
recursive. Get gnu ls and hack it.

Speaking of this sort of thing, I have seen a number of FTP servers that use
internal 'ls' substitutes which saves you from having to fork()/exec() an ls
all the time. Is there anywhere that I can find patches for wu-ftpd to do this?

Something like builtin 'ls' would be a good thing to add to the 2.4-academ
releases.

I found that I clund do an 'ls' when my ls was missing the shared library
loader, but not 'ls -la' so there has to be some sort of builtin ls. I don't
think it supports too many options though.

Indeed - as far as I can tell, "ls" just opens its argument (or ".") and
cats it (or stats it if it's a file). I'd _really_ like a real "ls" in
wu-ftpd, so that I could hide dotfiles...

Hi,

I have a problem which I have been beating my head over several weeks.
I've got wu-ftpd V2.4 running on AIX3.2.1 on three RS6000's. On two of the
machines I have no problems but on the third anonymous ftp refuses to run.
I login in ok, it accepts the password, says guest account... then
the server dies. Any command then returns with the message "server shutting
down". I've gone through the configuration many times and still can't
find what is wrong. I've even recompiled several times with no luck.

>From print statements that I placed in the server code I found out that it
dies when it gets into the loop that parses commands etc.

Anyone has any ideas?

Do they really? All I've ever seen is code to avoid the exec -- but
the fork is still done, mostly to handle quoting of CR/LF
trivially... just take gnu or bsd ls, rename main to ls(), and hook it
in.

If someone has patches to avoid the fork as well, I'd certainly like
to see them (I don't expect it to be hard, but I've seen numerous
requests for it, and haven't seen it actually done...)

Not knowing you give the answer yourself! The ftp-server of FUNIC is
also created there!
I downloaded the source of version 4.1412 there. Haven't got it up and
running, though, because I'm having problems compiling WU-FTPD-2.4 in
the first place (everything compiles fine, but not the ftpd :-( ). You
probably saw my posting, just before I subscribed to this list.

Good luck,
Reginald

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

Folks -

I have wu-ftpd-2.4 running on SunOS 4.1.1. Everything is fine until
I NFS mount a partition under an upload directory. The files intended
to land there pass OK according to the client (successful upload messages)
but the directory ends up with a zero-length file with the chown/chmod
performed as prescribed in ftpaccess. If I umount that NFS dir and upload
direct to local disk, it works fine.

Has anyone seen this? Fixes? I scanned the archives without success.
Thanks in advance!

- Andy

I prefer to see if it is possible to use the WU-ARCHIVE server because
its more actively supported.

True, but who's gonna support your patched WU-Archive daemon?! At least
the FUNIC server is supported! By a bunch of ppl knowing what an ftpd
should do, and what it should not!
But, have it your way. I don't think I will subscribe to the mailing-list:

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

Probably a stupid question...but here goes:

Is there any formula that would indicate how many ftp sessions a given amount of
bandwidth can support? I have a 56Kb line and have anon users set to 7 during
week and 10 weekends. The line is also supporting a WWW server (10 connections)
and light mail traffic. Is this high, low, or just right? Most files in the
archive are compressed binaries around 1MB but a few are as large as 9MB.

I see forked ls's all over the place on our system. It is a big problem
because people do 'ls -lR' in the root and then log out, leaving the ls
running sucking CPU and disk time. We quite often have 10 or more ls's
running against dead FTP sessions.

Hi all,
I'm sure this is a FAQ, but I looked on ftp.academ.com and
couldn't find either the FAQ or a version of wu-ftpd more recent than
1994.
So, if there's a version of wu-ftpd with the infamous
"seesions never timeout" problem fixed, could someone please let me
know? A pointer to the FAQ would be a plus. Thanks very much.

Go to ftp.academ.com, cd to /pub/wu-ftpd/private and do a
"get wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-7.tar.Z" even though you can't see the file. It's
the latest beta version.

We read on this list that a FAQ was available at:

http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html

I have not verified this myself, though.

Howdy!
We were running 2.4 (no patches that I know of; it was built before
I was employed at this current company) until after a few months of reading
this list, I decided to try out 2.4.2 beta 7. Built it, noticed shadow didn't
work, so I adjusted config options and the like until shadow support was
compiled in just fine. That kind of thing.

Haven't changed any /etc/ftp* files, just put a new wu-ftpd daemon,
that's all.

Now I notice that it seems the upload keyword is no longer working,
and I've verified the directories do exists, appropriate access modes, and
nothing's changed there. My upload keyword consists of lines such as:

upload /ftp/ftp /pub/brainy/incoming yes brainy tech 0700 nodirs

Now upload won't change deposited files to appropriate username/groups.
The problem first appeared when I installed the new ftpd that has, as far as
I can tell, the same configuration as the old ftpd, differing only in version
numbering, bug fixes, and virtual domain support.

Also, I've made sure Virtual Domain support was built in this ftpd,
used the virtual keyword as:

virtual 198.70.51.52 /ftp/ftp/pub/forte /ftp/ftp/pub/forte/00readme.txt

I know virtual domains in the general sense works because I can
telnet to ftp.fortech.com, nslookup shows the appropriate IP address, etc.
FTP to it and all. We made sure each IP address got only one hostname associated
with it, etc.

Not sure why the virtual keyword isn't displaying the banner file
(the last argument in the line).

BTW, every time I modify any /etc/ftp* files, should I kill -HUP
the ftpd or something?

Many thanks for any comments, tips, suggestions, rtfm's, or anything. :)

I did a cardinal sin... forgot to specify system configuration. :(

Sorry. You can take me and shoot me. :)

System: Linux, kernel v1.2.13, with the dummy support as modules. This machine
is the ftp server, as well as the DNS server for the domain, btw.

P90/64 megs of RAM, or something along those lines. It's been months since
I last looked at the hardware. ;-) I know it's 64 megs of physical RAM and
40 megs of swap space.

Erm... doesn't closing the ftp-data socket from remote cause a SIGPIPE
in wu-ftpd that can be used to kill the forked process ?

(Just a thought)

As far as I tested, the upload keyword does not work for virtual domains.
I'm not sure if it is a feature for a bug. upload keyword does work for
the real server.

Make sure that you have root access over /ftp/ftp/ if it is NFS mounted.
(no_root_squash or similar export option should be used).

The new configuration will be in effect for the next FTP visit when a new copy

I'm not even sure that the ftpd is figuring out that people have left. We
see FTP sessions that have been running for *days*.

Subject: Invalid Command stuff
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi

I have installed the wu-ftpd stuff on a Solaris 2.4 system.
I'm having problems getting SITE commands to work and
getting additional things that I dump in the ~ftp/bin directory
to work.

For all of these things, I get an "Invalid Command" back.

All I saw in the archives was one question about compiling
in some other manner.

Can someone help out here?

Thanks

Mary

Hi Mary,

Thanks for posting.
Didn't we ignore stuff related to SITE commands when we configured/compiled?

Where do we get beta 7? I've checked ftp.academ.com with no luck or changes
there.

I have posted about this twice -- No success -- If you get an answer
PLEASE let me know.

My symptoms sound like yours

- Works fine with a local disk
- can write as root to the NFS disk (so is allowed by exports)
- Get an empty file when trying to upload.
- Get an NFS write error 13 (permission denied) in /var/adm/messages

My workaround was a hack but anyway

make the upload directory chown to ftp and mode 000 !!!
people can then write to it -- can't read it because of the mode
and can't overwrite it because wu-ftpd won't allow it. It does
mean however that a person of privilage must be around to get it out
of the directory

The problem is in the wu-ftpd as far as I can tell -- root can write to
the NFS directory but can't going through wu-ftpd

Can you write as user "ftp" to the NFS disk?

Yes, but wu-ftpd does not have root permissions at that point. The directory
must be writable by user 'ftp' (either through ownership, or in the case of
the typical 'incoming/upload' directory through world writability).

This is what I use on my Solaris2.4 system:

upload /usr/spool/ftp /pub/incoming yes root users 0640 nodirs

drwxrwx-wx 2 root users 512 Nov 21 03:48 incoming

You can write as any user to the directory directly. I just mentioned root
because that has the added problem if you don't export the disk with root
access.

This is what I use to get around the fact that it can't write through NFS.
(Through wu-ftpd, THE ONLY USER you can have in the access is ftp - NO OTHER
user will work)

upload /usr/local/cosc/etc/ftp /incoming yes ftp staff 0000 nodirs

drwx-wx-wt 2 root daemon 512 Nov 22 11:03 incoming/

As have said before --- This ONLY occurs with NFS --- I have the same directory
mounted on our NFS server (not similar setup -- Exactly the same partition and
files). When I set the owner/group/mode to root/users/0640 as you have, it
worked on the server with local disk and produced an error when the
same disk was mounted on our internet machine.

Almost as though the way the files are put in the incoming directory is changed
or incorrect for NFS mounted partitions. ??

Anyway the Hack I have gets around it because we don't have that much incoming
but it would be annoying for someone who got a lot (because a privilaged person
is the only one able to access the files once they have arrived)

Has anyone else got - an NFS mounted ftp partion AND,
- owner/group/mode to root/users/0640 AND
- SunOS 4.x AND
- it WORKS

Check your /etc/exports, it should has similar line:
/dir/for/ftp -root=your.host.name

Otherwise, wuftpd'UID is "nobody" and will fail to chown and chmod. Make
change if necessary. Then kill the mountd and nfsd and restart them.
man exports for more detail descriptions about exports options.
BTW, the -root option sometimes called "no_root_squash" on other OS.

This has already been done -- otherwise when writing as root in a normal shell
would fail -- for the reasons you say below. The -root option IS set up correctly.

Those instructions were followed carefully and Nope - Still doesn't work.

I suspect this is the problem in the first poster's case. Make sure the
exporting machine has allowed write access to the shared disk, and that
wuftpd is running with the appropriate priveleges. Not even root can
write the disk if the server doesn't allow it.

The NFS partition is exported correctly, even tried the root= directive.
Authorized (real) users may write to that NFS directory via FTP, while
root may of course write from shell. Here's the exported directory on the
server:

drwxrwx-wx 2 root yyy 512 Nov 22 10:14 incoming

It is only with user ftp that the error occurs. Here's the message:

Nov 20 16:18:42 ftp vmunix: NFS write error 13 on host otherhost fh 70c 1 a0000 dea6 57483821 a0000 2 67aeeac1

The NFS server doesn't have a message for me. We're not seeing "permission
denied" or anything. I'm pretty confident I've done everything right - but
who isn't? Here are my appropriate ftpaccess lines:

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

delete no guest,anonymous
overwrite no guest,anonymous
rename no guest,anonymous
chmod no guest,anonymous
umask no guest,anonymous

upload /export2/ftp /incoming/xxx yes root yyy 0660 nodirs

where xxx is the NFS-mounted partition under ~ftp/incoming. yyy is the
group I'd like to use so "real" users can pick up the files. /export2/ftp
is the UFS partition/direcory we mount on.

I'm pleased to see some interest in this, at least. Thanks!

Of course. Here goes:

Interesting problems like this is what sysadmins live for! ;-)

Perhaps poking around after doing a 'chroot ~ftp /bin/csh' will give you some
additional clues. This more closely simulates the ftp server filesystem
environment without having the server itself in the equation.

Ok -- Finally there is someone else that is having the same problem
(I was beginning to feel it was just me)

This is EXACTLY the same problem --
Yanming PENG <[email protected]> was helping me diagnose
things yesterday and after copying a few binaries temporarily to the
~ftp/bin directory I could do
chroot ~ftp bin/chown root incoming/fred

And it worked the way it should !!
so it seems like root can chown and do things ok on the disk through
the chroot

We are running Beta6 but I didn't see anything in the docs of Beta7
that might fix it -- probably worth a go though...

Anyone have any other ideas??

My guess would be ftp is able to write files to the NFS partition as
nobody (yes?) and therefore chowning the files isn't possible, nobody
isn;t a privileged user and therefore can't possibly set the permissions
right on the remote file.

Or i may be wrong.

Hello everybody,

I'd now like to install the wu-ftp daemon. And as I have read in the installation
guide I first have to change the pathenames in the 'src/pathnames.h' !
Now I'd like to know if the paths there are all relative to ~ftp or to the
root-directory ! I guess that for example '/bin/sh' is relative to root !
Furthermore I'd like to know if all the configuration files like ftpaccess or ftpusers
have to be in the edited paths before doing the 'build lnx' command ! And if they have
to be there, can I use the examples that are included in the wu-ftpd archive ??

I would be very gratefull for any kind of help !

Hi Zeljko,

_PATH_EXECPATH is relative to the chroot()ed ftp user's login. The rest of the
paths are absolute.

Hello everybody !

I have got some problems compiling the wu-ftp daemon 2.4 on the OS Linux !
I have read the INSTALL file that tells what has to be done. So I have done
the following steps so far:

1. I changed the path-variables in the src/pathnames.h file so they fit to
my environment. Only exceptions are the variables _PATH_EXECPATH and
_PATH_PIDNAMES as I actually do not know what kind of paths this are. Do
this file get automatically created, or where can I get ftp-exec ?!

2. I started the "build lnx" command and got a lot of error messages, that
look like this:

I'm new to the list, so is there a wu-ftpd FAQ somewhere?

I'd like to know the official ftp-site for 2.4.2-betas.

Andhow can I enable the shadow passwords in wu-ftpd?

Subject: anon ftp install on SunOS 4.1.4
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

There is one hint missing in all the wu-ftpd-2.4 docs concerning the
anon ftp installation on SunOS 4.1.4:

If you are using the dynamically linked "ls" executable, besides the ld.so
binary in ~ftp/usr/lib you must also install the /etc/ld.so.cache file
in ~ftp/etc and give it permissions 644. Otherwise only "ls" in the
anon-ftp user interface works but not "ls -l" which gives no output at all.

Surely someone has found out this, but I've never found a hint in the
documentation. Maybe there's another workaround, but this works.

That's it.

-Thomas

Hi everybody !

I am trying to install the wu-ftp daemon on Linux 1.2.13 with gcc 2.5.8 !
I have changed all the path-variables in the src/pathnames.h so they fit to my
Linux environment !
After doing the "build lnx" command, I receive a lot of strange error messages !I really hope that there is anyone who could help me in here as I allready have tried several things but did not succeed.... :-(
Or am I the only one that is/has installed the daemon onto Linux ??

The error messages start like this.....

make args are :

Hi,

We use WU-ftp server that comes with BSDI box. We couldn't locate the
ftpaccess file for WU-ftp. We tried to edit the ftp line in inetd.conf
file. After changed the -A to -a in inetd.conf, our ftp serve stopped
functioning. Any idea?

TIA

But I don't think it is mapped to nobody --- In my /etc/exports I have
root=ftpmachine so root has access to write to that machine

Just tested to see if it was the writing causing the problem....
but I could run this and all would work

/etc/chroot ~ftp /bin/cp incoming/.message incoming/flump

so again -- I still think it is in the wu-ftpd

Anyone have any more ideas on how to narrow this problem down to where
the problem is.

To all.

Finally (with a patch) I got 2.4 up and running. Hooray!
Now for this one: when using the %T magic-cookie in textfiles, it displays
the local time. But, how do I get the daemon to recognize my TZ?
I copied /etc/timezone to ~ftp/etc/timezone, but no cure yet.

Anyone?

I would think I needed to put the cp inside the chroot so

created a file fred with
#!/bin/csh
/bin/touch incoming/flump
/bin/cp incoming/.message incoming/flump

and, after copying the relavant binaries, ran

/etc/chroot ~ftp /bin/fred

and it all worked -- flump was created and the message copied into it

I tried with cat instead of cp and chroot still did the correct things
but since I had changed a couple of things to get these tests to work
I tried again through ftp --- Still no change
Still produces a file with the correct permissions but empty

-rw------- 1 root 0 Nov 29 09:06 flump

and still get the message in /var/adm/messages of

Nov 29 09:06:42 ftphost vmunix: NFS write error 13 on host ourserver fh 746 1 a0000 5fea7 3b5a1bd6 a0000 2 1e0a6aed

SUMMARY OF TESTS SO FAR

The real confusing thing is that it is ONLY through wu-ftpd that the
problems occur... as root in a shell or as root through chroot
(and as any other user in shell) things work fine on the ~ftp directories.

The only workaround I have that leaves things secure (I hope) is to have
incoming owned by ftp and the owners of files ftp and the mode 0000
(ftp is the ONLY user that can be used in ftpaccess -- ANY others fail with
the same error)

The line out of ftpaccess says

upload /usr/local/cosc/etc/ftp /incoming yes ftp staff 0000 nodirs

So I think we are eliminating a lot of the common problems but seem no
closer to solving it

Anyone with any other thoughts??

The clients don't see an error !!!

The clinets see the transfer go through ok (ncftp produces the transfer
statistics as it is transfering and sun ftp shows a sucessfull transfer
with byte counte etc)

The only thing you notice is that is goes through EXTREMELY fast if the
machine isn't loaded (Because it isn't writing anything much to the disk
---- only a one line error message in /var/adm/messages and creating a
file -- The transfer is like writing to /dev/null

I got it from ftp.infomagic.com and is called: wu-ftpd-2.4.diff. It is
somewhere down the sources-tree. Same place as source of wu-ftpd, but
I can't remember where.
Good luck.

Subject: obviously FAQ: no timeout on DU (OSF/1) 3.2?
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

[ I can't find any list archives after 4/95 - do they exist? ]

I'm now also seeing lots of obviously old ftp processes on my
Digital Unix 3.2a box. Has anyone figured out whether this is wu-ftpd
itself or something whacked with the OS? Any good workarounds other than
cron-killing ftp procs that look old?

Thanks.

Just to let you know, we're also running DU here at wuarchive, and even
with the patched 2.4 version we still get timeouts. Haven't tried the
new 2.4.2 beta though.

I suppose it's entirely possible that it's the OS, rather than the ftpd,
that's causing the problems; goodness knows we've had several problems
that seem to be rooted in the OS.

Hello everyone!

Since I installed wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 5 with shadow (I have linux with
kernel 1.3.9), I get .htgroup and .htpasswd everywhere in my home directory
(every directories in the /ftp and in the /pub)

In the .htpasswd, I can see all the encrypted passwords with an anonymous
access!!! This is the kind of things I wanted to eliminate with shadow.
Here is how the permissions are when .htpasswd "appears": -rw-r--r-- And
when I delete these files they reappear some time! Everytime I see those
files, I do a chmod 700 on them so that only the root can see them, is it
OK like that?

Is there a solution to stop these files from appearing everywhere?

Thanks

A votre service

Try something like

passwd-check rfc822 enforce

(And look in man ftpaccess)

I have had the same problem on a SunOS 4.1.4. After upgrading to
Solaris 2.4 I do not have the problem. I use the same entries in
vfstab as in fstab, in dfstab as in exports and the same automount
configuration. The difference is, that Sun implements automounting of
local mounts as links instead of a nfs mount. And then it works.

Nope. it's wu-ftpd. Same happens on many SunOS and AIX boxes. This should
be fixed in the beta7 version. Check the FAQ for the location.

I skipped through the sources, and looked in some _man_uals, and found
out the following.
Since the user 'ftp' does not log-in for real (it does not have a real
shell, except if /bin/false is linked to /bin/sh ;-), it's environment
variable TZ or TIMEZONE is never set. Therefore the time-functions (as
used in ftpd) read a file '/usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime'.
I had it linked to the wrong TZ-file. When I linked it to CET (the
same as what I set TZ to be) ftpd displayed the correct _local_ time!

Hope this will help you!

Subject: Problems with tar and
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I installed wu-ftp 2.4 for Linux. Everything seems to work fine, except
for some problems with tar and gzip (I have statically compiled the
binaries).

For example, let's say I have the following 2 files in my /pub directory
README
foo.tar

Since wu-ftp can tar and compress on-the-fly, I ran the following tests.
I tried to retrieve files via anonymous ftp by:

get foo.tar.gz
get README.gz

and they works fine.

But if I try:

get foo

I get "No such file OR directory". Isn't wu-ftp supposed to support this?
If I try to put a local file (called dummy)

put dummy.gz

I get the same message.

I looked at the FAQ but did'nt find anything that would address my problem.

Below are the contents of my ftpconversions file:

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

I would appreciate any help on this problem. Thanking you in advance.

I decided _not_ to reveal the exact location in the faq but to refer to the
list. This has the following background : Old versions of faq's float around
for a long time, and people looking for (by then obsolete) beta-versions
of the daemon will be confused. If a more frozen version is published then
I'll publish it in the faq.

If people think it's better to put the location in the faq (together with
warnings) I'll put it in.

The current location is :

ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-7.tar.Z

For the sendmail 8.7 betas, the files were hidden but in a .message file it
gave all the warnings about running beta software and then at the bottom the
name of the file to get. What about doing something similar for wu-ftpd?

Hi all,

I've searched the archives and watched the list for awhile
and nothing's turned up.

My question is this: How can one set it up so that
outside anonymous users are read only, and inside
(local to my domain) are read/write.

Just a quick hint to help me on my way would be
greatly appreciated.

Your conversions-file does not have an entry to UNtar things!
I am not very good at creating "ftpconversions" entries (I'm very new to
wu-ftpd myself), but I think it should be something like:

:.tar: : :/bin/tar -xf %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_TAR:UNTAR

> I would appreciate any help on this problem. Thanking you in advance.

I haven't tested this: I make it up whilst typing, but one thing is sure:
you haven't specified the "tar" extension in you conversions file.

Good luck

Hi Folks,

Has anyone else run into a problem with certain versions of Netscape (such
as the Mac 1.12 version) not being able to access an ftp site running the WU
2.4 daemon ? The error message from Netscape reads:

"Netscape is unable to find the file: /
Check the file name and try again".

It is not a gateway or router problem, since I can duplicate the failure
here on my local net. In addition, some versions of Netscape, such as the
Windows version 1.2N work just fine.

The folks at Netscape don't think it's their problem. I tend to agree, since
I can take the "broken" version of the browser and access the ftp site at
wuarchive.wustl.edu just fine!

I'm running wu-ftpd v2.4 on a Solaris 2.4 box (Sun ELC). Any clues would be
appreciated.

Alex

This has probably been asked before, but I am new so I apologize. I was
wondering if there is a way to configure the ftp server to answer for multiple
domains and place the user in a different directory. Basically run virtual
ftp sites on one server.

Thanks for any advice,

Mike

I just downloaded and am now compiling the new wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta7. It
appears to have this capability, although I haven't looked into how one
goes about setting it up (instructions seem to be included, tho).

Guys,

Atleast the old slackware versions that Jack and Brian are running had
this vulnerability. I suggest that you check your configuration and
rebuild your ftp daemon. If you need help, please let me know. I
recommend doing this quickly because once CERT broadcasts the vulnerability,
every idiot hacker will be itchin' to try it.

CA-95:16 CERT Advisory
November 30, 1995
wu-ftpd Misconfiguration Vulnerability
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A vulnerability exists with certain configurations of the SITE EXEC command
in the Washington University ftpd, also known as wu-ftpd. Exploitation of
this vulnerability may allow root access from any account on the system.

The vulnerable configuration is known to exist in numerous Linux distributions
and is currently being actively exploited by intruders.

It should be noted that this vulnerability is not necessarily limited to Linux
but may exist on any wu-ftpd installation. Thus, all users of the wu-ftpd
program, not just the Linux users, should take this opportunity to verify the
configuration of their daemons. Note that versions of wu-ftpd before the 2.4
release contain serious security vulnerabilities and should be updated
immediately.

Section III contains instructions for disabling ftpd and correcting the
configuration.

As we receive additional information relating to this advisory, we will place
it in:

ftp://info.cert.org/pub/cert_advisories/CA-95:16.README

We encourage you to check our README files regularly for updates on
advisories that relate to your site.

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

I. Description

There is a problem with the default configuration of the Washington
University FTP Server version 2.4 in major Linux distributions, including
but not limited to Slackware 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, Yggdrasil Plug&Play
Fall'94, and the Debian Distribution. By exploiting this problem, any
user who is able to log into a system having the vulnerable configuration
via FTP using their login, and not the anonymous login, may gain root
access.

Other systems besides Linux can be configured to be vulnerable although
the standard wu-ftpd 2.4 source code as distributed is not vulnerable.

The problem is that the variable _PATH_EXECPATH was set to "/bin" in
the configuration file src/pathnames.h when the distribution binary
was built. _PATH_EXECPATH should be set to "/bin/ftp-exec" or a similar
directory that does not contain a shell or command interpreter, for
example. The source code shipped with the Linux distributions contains
the correct value ("/bin/ftp-exec") despite the incorrect distribution
binary. You should verify that _PATH_EXECPATH has the correct value
before recompiling.

Note that the documentation for wu-ftpd states that the directory
defined by _PATH_EXECPATH is relative to ~ftp, the ftp home directory
as specified in the password file. This is misleading. The pathname
is relative to ~ftp for anonymous users only. This pathname is relative
to "/" for other user sessions.

II. Impact

Any user with a local account on a system offering FTP services
with the vulnerable configuration may gain root access. Support for
anonymous FTP access is not required to exploit this vulnerability.

III. How to determine if you are vulnerable

All systems running wu-ftpd should be checked to determine if the
configuration is vulnerable.

To test your configuration, access the ftp server using a legitimate user
account (not an anonymous ftp login) and execute the following commands:

srchost> ftp ftphost
Connected to ftphost
220 ftphost FTP server (Version wu-2.4(2) Mon Apr 18 09:12:35 GMT+1000 1994) ready.
Name (srchost:joe):
331 Password required for joe.
Password:
230 User joe logged in.
ftp> quote site exec echo problem
200-echo problem
200-problem
200 (end of 'echo problem')
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.
srchost>

If you receive the line "200-problem", your site is vulnerable.

IV. Solution

If you have the vulnerability, we recommend that you turn off ftpd
immediately using the method described in Section A below. Once you have
done that, you can then decide whether to rebuild or fetch a new ftpd
binary.

If you have built wu-ftpd from a source distribution, follow the steps
in Sections B.2 and B.3 below.

Once you have eliminated this vulnerability, turn on ftpd with the
method described in Section C below.

A. Disable ftpd

To disable ftpd, do the following as root.

1. Shut down the FTP server using the ftpshut command. This command
blocks all connections to the FTP server.

For ftpshut to work correctly, the ftpaccess(5) file will need a
shutdown directive that names a file used by wu-ftpd to indicate
that the server is shutdown. If your ftpaccess file does not have
such a directive, add one to that file. When added, use ftpshut(8)
to shut down the server. Once the server has been shutdown, all
new incoming FTP requests will fail.

Here is an example of the ftpshut command:

ftpshut now

2. Verify that the FTP service has been shut down by attempting to
connect to it. You should see a message that contains a line
similar to the following:

hostname FTP server shut down -- please try again later

where hostname is the host from which you are requesting
FTP service.

B. Correct the configuration

Item 1 below applies to those running Debian Linux. Item 2 applies
to all other Linux systems. Item 3 applies to those who are building
wu-ftpd from source on systems other than Linux.

1. If you are running Debian Linux, obtain a fixed binary,
available from the following location, and install this binary.

ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/debian-0.93/binary/net/wu-ftpd-2.4-14.deb
MD5 (wu-ftpd-2.4-14.deb) = c00a0aac75216bf83568aee4c2e7d168

2. If you are running any version of Linux, there is a version of
the source code available that has been improved to compile more
cleanly. It too is correctly configured for SITE EXEC. It is
available from (file wu-ftpd-2.4-fixed.tar.gz)

ftp://bach.cis.temple.edu/pub/Linux/security/wu-ftpd-2.4-fix/
MD5 (wu-ftpd-2.4-fixed.tar.gz) = 3e1c6fd7cd6757e45894df0d3638b524

This version is also correctly configured for the SITE EXEC
command and can be compiled and installed. Consult Section
IV below for suggestions on how to configure wu-ftpd.

3. If you are running a version of wu-ftpd before version 2.4,
you should upgrade to version 2.4 first. That version is
available from

ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/packages/wuarchive-ftpd/wu-ftpd-2.4.tar.Z
MD5 (wu-ftpd-2.4.tar.Z) = 57f1a962c90a9b12825d39af518df433

Version 2.4 is correctly configured for the SITE EXEC command
and can be compiled and installed. Consult Section IV below for
suggestions on how to configure wu-ftpd.

C. Enabling ftpd

1. To turn ftpd back on, delete the file referenced by the shutdown
directive in your ftpaccess file.

2. Verify that the FTP service has been enabled by attempting to
connect to it. You should see a message that contains lines
similar to the following:

srchost> ftp ftphost
Connected to ftphost
220 ftphost FTP server (Version wu-2.4(3) Mon Apr 3 16:53:11 EDT 1995) ready.
Name (srchost:joe):

IV. Advice on configuring the FTP Daemon for SITE EXEC

Here are some configuration guidelines for the directories named by
the _PATH_EXECPATH variable.

1. Directories used by SITE EXEC: The documentation for wu-ftpd
states that the directory defined by the _PATH_EXECPATH variable is
relative to ~ftp, the ftp home directory as specified in the password
file. This is misleading. The pathname is relative to ~ftp for
anonymous users only. The pathname is relative to "/" for all other
user sessions.

Therefore, you need to check the two directories used by the SITE
EXEC command. For example, if the _PATH_EXECPATH variable is set to
/bin/ftp-exec, then wu-ftpd searches the ~ftp/bin/ftp-exec directory
for programs specified by SITE EXEC when the anonymous login is used,
and the /bin/ftp-exec directory specified by SITE EXEC when any other
login is used.

2. Contents of the directories used by SITE EXEC: The commands installed
in these directories can be executed by the SITE EXEC command. We
strongly recommend that this directory contain only those programs
that you wish to be executed by those users who connect to your FTP
server. An example of a program to install in these directories is
the ls program. Programs that should not be installed in these
directories are shells, for example sh or csh, and command
interpreters, for example awk and perl.

Here's some code to test if you have the vulniberility. Should compile
statically, which will allow you to put it in any bin (including a chrooted)
directory. Login as all different types of users you have and test it.

P.S. This is one of the ways I used to discover the bug in the first place.

Well, CERT may be far behind, but some of us are even further behind than
CERT. I hadn't heard of the problem, and I know MANY people who run linux
+ wu-ftpd who haven't heard of it either. I appreciate the updates.

After long thinking, I am publishing *intentionally*truncated* excerpt
from my mail archive. You will find included what I have sent to the
wu-ftpd maintainer in *APRIL*1994*.

And I have seen this ruid-hole exploited (the mechanism was maybe a bit
different than the one described in the CERT advisory) during 1995, so
I have sent similar material to [email protected], believe sometime in the
mid-1995, but I do not have this e-mail handy due to catastrophic disk
crash. But certainly it has been noted in my e-mail that all programs
exec()ed by wu-ftpd are started with ruid == 0.

I do not have more comments on this topic.

Please excuse my poor English,

1) .
. World is probably not ready to know about this one :-)
.
2) Currently, all programs exec()'ed by wuftpd are started with ruid=0,
euid=pw->pw_uid, rgid=0, egid=pw->pw_gid. Such a program may simply
become root via seteuid(0); setegid(0) !!!

The "ruid=0, euid=pw->pw_uid, rgid=0, egid=pw->pw_gid" environment
is safe for *file* operations, but not for exec()ing anything!!!
.
.
.
FIX:
oldid=geteuid();
seteuid(0);
setgid(getegid);
setuid(oldid);
before execv(). Or use setreuid()/setregid() solution this is what I am
using just now:
.
.
.
setreuid(geteuid(), 0);
setregid(getegid(), -1);
setreuid(-1, getuid());
execv(gargv[0], gargv);
_exit(1);
.
.
.
Included is sample /ftp/bin/ls replacement code that demonstrates both
problems. Compile and link, then copy the executable to /ftp/bin/ls,
login as anonymous, then issue "dir my-command". This works very well
also as /bin/ls replacement for real users.
