1) Where's the FAQ?

2) On Solaris 2.4, I set up a guest account
in addition to anonymous according to all
the docs and the chroot() is not working.
All the (~)/etc/passwd & group files for the
new guest user are set up the same as "ftp"
for anonymous.

3) How do I configure wu-ftpd to drop idle
ftpd processes after a set amount of time?

Thanks in advance,

The faq points to the guestgroup-howto, where all details of guestgroup setup

-t and -T command line parameters. It's in the manpage.

Sometimes ago, I've asked a question about the fact that some messages were
missing in the syslog files when the connections were made through anonymous
ftp. In particular all commands relative messages are missing in Digital Unix
3.2c. During my vacation (!) , I've looked carefully at the source code and I've
understood the reason.

Let's take the following code sequence in ftpd.c in the pass routine :

if (anonymous || guest) {
/* We MUST do a chdir() after the chroot. Otherwise the old current
* directory will be accessible as "." outside the new root! */
if (anonymous) {
/* the following line is added by me */
syslog(LOG_INFO,"PW->PW_DIR %s", pw->pw_dir);
if (chroot(pw->pw_dir) < 0 || chdir("/") < 0) {
reply(550, "Can't set guest privileges.");
goto bad;
}
/* the following two lines are added by me */
reply(220, "after chroot and chdir.");
syslog(LOG_INFO,"AFTER CHDIR ANONYMOUS %d GUEST %d", anonymous, guest);

So what happens ?

The first syslog works correctly and the PW->PW_DIR message is sent in the
daemon.log file. But, if the "after chroot and chdir." is correctly sent to the
user, the "AFTER CHDIR ANONYMOUS" is absolutely not sent to the daemon.log file.

When the chdir,chroot is not executed, for an identified user, there is
absolutely no problem.

So for me the syslog doesn't work any more after the chroot,chdir. But in the
ftpd.c and ftpcmd.c files many syslog(LOG_INFO,.....) have been put even for
anonymous ftp accesses. Some of them are at the end of the pass routine :

syslog(LOG_INFO, "ANONYMOUS FTP LOGIN FROM %S [%S], %S", .....);

So I suppose that it's working on some other UNIX systems. Am I wrong ?

I think that the software authors were sure that it works before putting this
syslog lines.

Thank you for your answer. I need to be sure that it's a problem in my Unix
version.

Works on Sun Solaris 2.3. I've seen lost messages on other systems
though. It depends a lot on how syslog does things. If it opens
a file descriptor at openlog() time and keeps it open, then
you'll get messages after a chroot. If syslog() re-opens the
connection for each message then its likely to fail after a chroot
because some device entry is not in the ~ftp/dev/ hierarchy.

You could create a test program that does
openlog()
syslog()
chroot(to your home dir)
syslog()
to demonstrate the problem, then replace the path in the chroot
with "/" and see if you get all the messages. If you do, some
work with trace or truss (I think DEC has one of those tools
for tracing system calls) should turn up the file name.

Good Luck,

Subject: problems with wu-ftpd and netscape/mosaic/ftptool
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I have just noticed/been notified of problems reading things
from my anonymous ftp server from netscape, mosaic, and ftptool.

In netscape and mosaic, the results are unreliable. Sometimes
a directory is shown properly, sometimes it shows up as empty.
Ftptool seems to reliably be wrong, showing empty directories.

Plain ftp is reliably right.

I'm told ange-ftp is unreliable.

This seems to be related to the automatic generation of messages,
which I've consequently turned off altogether. However, even with
all messages turned off, ftptool 4.5 running from a Solaris machine
never shows the root directory, although it's possible to change
directory to pub, for example, and then see the correct listing.

This is not a permissions or setup problem, as plain ftp works. On the other
hand, it doesn't seem to be simply a problem with netscape or mosaic
or ftptool.

I'm flummoxed at this point. Does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks,

Subject: SunOS 4.1.4 and DIR
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I have done about everything I can think of to get DIR to work with
anon FTP users. Quite likely it is something to do with dynamic link
libraries. I even tried copying the entire contents of /usr/lib into
~ftp/lib - no luck. I tried using "trace" and so forth, still no luck.

Reading the docs, it says that one way of solving this problem is to
compile ls, tar, etc. It also says that these are available in source
form from GNU and that is available on the wustl.edu ftp server. Well,
it's all been rearranged since that document was written, and I have
absolutely no clue where on earth those source files would be.

Does anyone have any tips on how to get it to work with dynamic link
libraries? Does anyone know where the source for ls may be found?

Thanks a bunch,
Tim

X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

We've got a problem with the Mac flavor of Netscape (all versions)
connecting to a Solaris 2.4 platform running the wu-ftpd software. Netscape
will never successfully retrieve the initial directory listing for an
anonymous ftp login. At first I thought the problem was in the Mac version
of Netscape, since all other browsers (both Mac and PC alike) had no
problems connecting via anonymous ftp to our server. After a few minutes
of looking around, however, I found MANY sites running the same version
of wu-ftpd (V2.4) on Solaris platforms which our Mac had no problems
connecting to.

Has anybody else had a similar problem? Are there any patches
for wu-ftpd 2.4 that I am not aware of? (I currently know of none...)

Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: SunOS 4.1.4 DIR problem fixed!
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Thanks to everyone who helped me finally nail this one down.
Here's what needs to be done in order to make anon FTP work with DIR
under SunOS 4.1.4. Also, you can define "guestgroup customer" in
your /usr/local/etc/ftpaccess file, and create a group "customer" in /etc/group.
This will allow you to have a class of users who can have their own
secure FTP areas, but can't prowl all over your system.

Here is my directory tree:

~ftp:
total 5
d--x--x--x 2 root 512 Dec 5 14:48 bin
d--x--x--x 2 root 512 Jan 4 14:13 dev
d--x--x--x 2 root 512 Jan 4 15:03 etc
drwxrwxrwx 2 root 512 Nov 28 19:46 pub
d--x--x--x 3 root 512 Jan 4 15:05 usr

~ftp/bin:
total 550
---x--x--x 1 root 24576 Nov 28 15:02 compress
---x--x--x 1 root 90112 Nov 28 18:37 gzip
---x--x--x 1 root 13352 Jan 3 18:55 ls
---x--x--x 1 root 425984 Nov 28 19:16 tar

~ftp/dev:
total 0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root 3, 12 Jan 4 14:13 zero

~ftp/etc:
total 7
-r--r--r-- 1 root 299 Nov 28 19:45 group
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 4096 Jan 4 14:26 ld.so.cache
-r--r--r-- 1 root 151 Nov 28 19:58 motd
-r--r--r-- 1 root 71 Nov 28 19:24 passwd

~ftp/pub:
total 0

~ftp/usr:
total 1
d--x--x--x 2 root 512 Dec 28 13:45 lib

~ftp/usr/lib:
total 608
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root 40960 Jan 4 14:11 ld.so
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root 548864 Jan 4 14:11 libc.so.1.9.2
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root 24576 Jan 4 14:11 libdl.so.1.0

To create ~ftp/dev/zero, use: mknod ~ftp/dev/zero c 3 12
You also need to be sure that /etc/ld.so.cache is copied into the ~ftp
tree, as well as the libraries listed above.

After several weeks of working on this on and off, it finally WORKS!!
I did some careful pruning to make sure that there isn't extra flotsam
in the ~ftp tree which isn't really needed.

Here is a little script I whipped up to create FTP trees for customer
use. Modify the /h/customer reference below for where you keep your
ftp trees. The ~ftp tree must be kept in the same place for this to work.

----- start script -----

#!/usr/bin/csh
#
# makeftp - create FTP tree for a customer
#
# Syntax: ftp userid
# userid is customer's user ID (must already have been created in /etc/passwd)
#
if ($#argv != 1) then
echo "Syntax: makeftp userID"
exit
endif

# validate the user ID
if ! { fgrep $1 /etc/passwd >/dev/null } then
echo "Invalid user ID - create the user login with vipw first."
exit
endif

# user ID is valid, clone various parts of the ftp user tree
cd /h/customer
mkdir $1
cp -pr ftp/bin $1
cp -pr ftp/usr $1
cp -pr ftp/etc $1
mkdir $1/dev
mknod $1/dev/zero c 3 12
mkdir $1/data
chown -R $1 $1
chmod o-rw $1
chgrp -R customer $1
chmod og-rw $1/data

---- end script ----

Cheers,
Tim

The source can be found in /packages/gnu on ftp.uu.net. The version I'm
using is fileutils-3.12.

I don't know if this is the problem, but WS_FTP (under the Options
button, Session Options) allows viewing links as either directories or
files. I don't know what Netscape's problem is with this.

I won't ask or comment on why a symlink of what appears to be a revisioned
file is pointed to a file of what appears to be an earlier revision....

This is not the first time I have heard this, but being a unix person, I
don't understand it (everything looks fine to me). The file in question
is a symlink to another file:

lrwxr-xr-x 1 rjl 2461 12 Sep 28 19:31 gs351fn1.zip@ -> gs333fn1.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 rjl 1385 1365916 Oct 2 1994 gs333fn1.zip

anyone got any ideas?

In some DOS/Winsock FTP client, there is an option to treat symlink either
as file or as directory. Not matter what option you set, you will have
problem any way. In above case, the option is set to treat symlink as dir.
In fact, gs351fn1.zip points to a file :-(

Subject: does wu-ftpd support kerberos?
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

hi all,

i tried sending this before but apparently it didn't get posted.

i recently installed wu-ftpd 2.4(3) on our ftp server.
my intention was to install steve lunt's kerberized ftpd
on all our other machines. however, someone told me that
wu-ftpd supports kerberos.

in looking at the sources, it looks like it's possible
to compile some kerberos support in. however, it's not
clear how to do this. for one thing, i don't have libauth.a
or libckrb.a, which the Makefile seems to expect. also,
in looking at ftpd.c, it looks like the kerberized version
requires hesiod, which i don't have.

can anyone tell me:
1) whether wu-ftpd supports kerberos (krb4)?

and if so:
2) whether it requires hesiod?
3) how to get lauth and lckrb?
4) anything else i need to know to compile for krb4?

thanks,
-ed

I just installed wu-ftpd 2.4.1 on a sun sparc10 running Solaris 2.3 and am
having problems with it. When you ftp/connect to the host it's installed on
you get the wu-ftpd banner, as expected, but the daemon shuts down
immediately after entering a user id(doesn't matter what UID is entered).

If anyone can give me any suggestions as to what might be happening, I'd
appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Mark S. Velasquez

http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/dist has our wu-ftpd including Kerberos
support, most of which is lunt's code.

Greetings, all,

I'm not currently subscribed to the list so please reply directly
to me (or at least Cc: me :-)

I'm curious if anyone know if wu-ftpd has been or is in the process
of being ported to Windows/NT? If yes, who are and/or how can I get in
touch with the relevant parties?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Subject: S/Key version of WU-FTPD
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I've recently modified wu-ftpd to use the S/Key authentication form
Wietse Venema's "logdaemon" package. The changes were fairly
straightforward and simple. Has anyone else one this, or something
similar?

Who is responsible for maintaining the "official" Wu-ftpd
distribution. I'd like to supply them with a copy for possible
inclusion in the distribution as a compile-time selectable option.

The changes are all within the routine: "user()" in the file ftpd.c and
require that the ftp daemon be linked with the routines: skeyaccess.o,
skey_crypt.o, skeylogin.o, put.o, skeysubr.o and mdx.o from the
logdaemon package. This is handled by a few simple tweaks to the
makefile.

Greetings,

I am not on the wu-ftpd list, but I am hoping that someone could point me
to a patch or version of wu-ftp that supported multiple ftp sites on one
machine. We have one ftp server at my ISP, and have a virtual web
server, and a machine that has several domain names where e-mail and the
dns is concerned, but we need a machine that will be able to have many
different domain names, and depending on how to anon ftp in, will set you
to a different public directory, in the same way that a Virtual Web
server does. Is there a patch or source for wu-ftp out there, and if not
who would be willing to help me write one?

Thanks,

Greg Gallagher

The beta release below, created and maintained by wu-ftpd list
inhabitants, has S/Key and shadow password support built in (6 months?).
It also supports virtual FTP servers, some nice security features, as well
as fixing a number of bugs that are still in the "standard" WU release.

ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-8.tar.Z

You can't see the directory contents, but get the file anyway. It's
there.

I have downloaded wu-ftpd 2.4 patch level 2.

My question concerns the auditing/security features of the daemon.
I can deny access to for certain types of commands. However, I get
less than desirable results in the syslog file. This is will all users
having "log commands" from the ftpaccess file.

For instance, if one group of users may use the "delete" command, I
will get an entry for "DELE filename" followed by
"user of host [ip address] deleted filename"

If the group has the "delete" command revoked with the line
"delete no guest" I still get the "DELE filename", just no information
following to indicate a denial. The user that requested the command
gets information that his request is being denied, and this is fine. I
would just like the server to be able to do the same.

Has anybody modified the code to deal with this?

In addition, has anybody added security features to turn on/off all
the commands the server supports?

Well, I think technically we (Washington University) still hold the
"official" distribution, which is the old wu-ftpd-2.4. However, it seems
to be an unwritten policy that since the author, Bryan O'Connor, is no
longer supporting the software (nor working with Wash U), we don't archive
all of the various patches, changes, etc.; just the original wu-ftpd-2.4
with all of its checksums. For additions/changes to the base wu-ftpd, you
might talk to the folks who handle the academ release; I can't speak for
them, but I'm sure they'd consider incorporating your changes into the
next release.

Then again, I could be wrong. :)

Does wu-ftpd need someone to adopt it and be a clearing house for
patches, updates, and the like?

If that's the case, we would be happy to provide software and mailing list
archive support for development efforts. Just an thought/offer...

Hi, Ulla:

Unrelated question: Where did you get your
gcc? We've got it and I'm trying to
recompile for other reasons and am getting:

"...cannot exec cc1: No such file..."

Thanks,

Vard Lott, Webmaster
Novell, Inc.

P.S. - Our ftpwho works fine on Solaris 2.4,
would you like me to send you a copy of our
binary?

I'm certainly not an official spokesman for the list, just a long
inhabitant. Thanks for the consideration of maintaining the beast; it
may be needed one of these days.

Stan Barber ([email protected]) has been pulling the WU ftpd betas together
for some time and releasing them from his site. So far WU seems to be
very willing to keep hosting the bandwidth for the mailing list, and it is
working well.

This has been an adequate mechanism for ongoing development, at least as
long as the two hosts above continue to provide access. I for one
appreciate their ongoing contribution very much.

Please don't get me wrong. I too appreciate their efforts greatly. I was
just offering if there was a need. When there is we'd be happy to help out.

Ahhhh - very sorry to communicate any sense that you did not appreciate
it. The fact that you and the other fellow (sorry, I think I have deleted
the previous posts) offered the support indicates a nice willingness to
pitch in. I appreciate that and I am sure that others do also.

Normally I would not reply to the list for this, but looking back over my
post I see how misworded it was. Please accept my apology. I hope this
clears up any misunderstanding about what I meant so as not to offend
anyone. Any and all efforts to help are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael

I have wu-ftpd 2.4 on a Sun SPARC running Solaris 2.4. I am
unable to get the "dir" command to work under the anonymous login.
Logins by specific users works fine, but the anonymous login is
unable to do a dir. For example, when logging in as anonymous, the
"ls" command outputs:

ftp>ls

150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.

but the "dir" command yields:

ftp> dir

150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete.
ftp>

Does anyone have any idea why this happens or how I can fix it?

I have set up wu-ftp for my system, and have been having lingering ftp
connections. As per messages to this list, I obtained the latest beta
release, which was supposed to solve this problem. (at least that is the
impression I received)

What should I do now?

To use dir, or any switches on ls, either all the libaries that ls uses
must be in ~ftp/ or it must be compiled staticly. The second option is
easier. This applies to any command you want to be executated from anon
ftp (ie tar, compress...)

The source can be gotten from any gnu archive site at I belive fileutil.tar.

To compile staticly I recommend using the -static option and compiling
under gcc.

The reason that just ls works is that the server itself has a really dumb
return directory command that is used if no switches are sent.

Hi Bill

There must exist a ~ftp/usr/lib directory which must contain:

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

I did that as well, but the consensus was that WU wasn't doing any more
updates and some unknown person might be doing some or something, so I
didn't have anywhere to send the diffs.

I just try to install ftpd in a linux system.
Before compiling, I made all the things mentioned in the file 'INSTALL'
and now I started 'build lnx' to compile ftpd.
After that I got some error messages and I don't know why and how to
correct it.
I tried to change compiler directives, I changed the makefile. But this
doesn't help and it doesn't help to ignore the warnings ;-).

Here are some messages after starting build:

make args are :

Can someone help me or tell me where I can get help?

Subject: can't enable the compress/tar feature
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm trying to enable the compress/tar feature of the wu-ftpd v2.4
and all my attempts totally failed which causes me to apply to you
for an assistance.
I defined the _PATH_EXECPATH variable in the pathnames.h file as
"/bin" which is actually "~ftp/bin" and the _PATH_CVT as
"/usr/local/etc/ftpconversions" according to the INSTALL instruction
file. So, I put all necessary binaries such as ls, compress, tar and
gzip to the ~ftp/bin directory and the ftpconversions file to the
appropriate directory as it was defined. The relevant tar and
compress options in the ftpaccess file are enabled (i.e set as yes for
local, remote class).

The contents of the ftpconversions file is:

:.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/gunzip -c %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've tried to provide different paths in this file to succeed, but nothing
took effect.

What's wrong? What have I got to do to get that feature to work?

I do need your help

Thank you in advance

You've just to modify teh Makefile.osf file in support/makefiles and to add
vsnprintf.c and vsnprintf.o to SRCS and OBJS.

Then you remove ftpd from src and bin and type ./build osf.

Paul and others,

I never received a private response and after three requests over the last 10+
days was finally subscribed to the list yesterday. If anyone has any info on
wu-ftpd being ported to NT, please contact me asap. I will summarize to the list
if I get one or more responses. Thanks!

Well, I have the same problem too, and I allready have all that (and more)
in ~ftp/usr/lib. It is all read/execute to the world, and the directories
are also a+rx mode too. There must be something else wrong. I've managed
to track the problem down to where it actually does the call, but have not
been able to track it down from there. (Lack of time).

I just didn't mention it before because I was hoping someone else would
mention an FAQ, and I wouldn't look too much like a fool. If I'm not the
only one with this problem, then I don't feel too bad.

Rebuild your wu-ftpd _NOW_ with _PATH_EXECPATH set to something else
then /bin.

Check the Faq for wu-ftpd at

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

to read why.
You just created a security hole.

In general : there are absolute paths in ftpconversions just so the
tar/compress feature works without setting whole /bin dirs open.
To make tar/compress/etc work, you probably need some shared libraries
specific to your OS.

Hi,

I had the same problem in Solaris2.4 also. Somehow it got fixed when I
made sure I had the right files in ~ftp/dev.

I have tcp, zero, and udp in ~ftp/dev.

Hope this helps,

Nope, tried that a few weeks ago. Thanks though.

I was able to get the dir command to work when I followed these instructions
in the INSTALL file.

6. Under Solaris 2.1, you need to have the following in ~ftp/dev
crw-rw-rw- 1 root 11, 42 Mar 24 17:00 tcp
cr--r--r-- 1 root 13, 12 Mar 24 16:23 zero

Yep, tried that, then I tried what was in the man page on my Solaris 2.4 system
for setting up anon ftp. That failed too.

Somebody must have this running under Solaris 2.4. Could one of you kind souls
please send me an ls -lR of ~ftp. Maybe I can figure it out from there.

(I hate taking up bandwidth like this...)
(BTW: Im using Wu-ftp version 2.4, Solaris 2.4, The Sun Sparcworks compiler.)

>(BTW: Im using Wu-ftp version 2.4, Solaris 2.4, The Sun Sparcworks compiler.)

This may not help because I'm on a Dec Alpha running osf, but I also had a
problem getting dir to work when I first setup wu-ftp. I had copied over
everything correctly, but dir was not working.

I don't remember where I found the answer, but it had to do with two
versions of ls on my system, one in /usr/bin/ and one in /sbin/. I had
copied the one in /usr/bin (which was much smaller by the way). When I
changed to the one from /sbin, dir worked correctly.

Just a thought.

I dunno if this was already suggested, but compile ls statically. This is
my guess as to the explanation for the fact that the version of ls that
works for Mr. McDaniel is much bigger than the one that doesn't work...

You can get GNU ls from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/fileutils-3.12.tar.gz.

There is an error in the example file doc/examples/ftpaccess. This error=20
disables compress and tar:

It reads

compress yes local remote
tar yes local remote

According to the man page on ftpaccess the syntax of compress is
compress <yes|no> <classglob> [<classglob>...]
In the example file there is no class called local or remote. The only=20
class defined is all. TO enable compress in the example file you need to=20
change the compress line to:
compress yes all
And the tar line to
tar yes all

There has been a great deal posted re: the dir and ls commands on
Solaris.

The dir and ls commands actually work differently; why I don't know. I
don't believe that the linking, static or otherwise, is relevant for ls.

I have discovered that most PC clients will use the dir command, but
that a ftp from a unix or ftp shell will usually employ the ls command.

It is the dir command that needs the static libraries, and the the ls
command that needs the dev entries.

If you have ls working this does not mean that dir works.

Everything works fine for me and here are the relevant parts of the
listing for my setup:

total 10
d--x--x--x 2 root other 512 Dec 27 13:29 bin

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 41704 Dec 28 17:26 libw.so.1

Notice in particular the entries for dev and lib.

I hope that this will help all those people wandering in the dark.

'pure' ls is done as an internal command in wu-ftpd, without starting
anything external. This saves on process starting.

Offcourse this means the ls command (or better : the ftp command that
starts ls) will 'allways' work and that dir is a bit more sensitive.

This "problem" is not specfic to Solaris, but I belive to every UNIX
that supports setroot.

When you just send an "ls" you trigger the built in command "NLIST" which
does not use any executable at all. You can get that standard listing
WITHOUT any ls binary at all. To see this use the standard UNIX ftp with
-vd (verbose debugging) which will show what is really going on.

If you use the "dir" command (ls -l really) or send any switches ls (ie
-F, etc) NLIST cannot understand them so it tries to run the "ls"
binary. Since wuftp does a setroot on anonymous connections to restrict
access to only the ~ftp/ directory you must either have all the libaries
in ~ftp/lib or wherever ls expects them from when it was compiled or you
must compile it staticly. In my option static compiling is both safer
and easier.

This is also why links to files or directories outside of the ~ftp/
directory do not work under wuftp.

As do web browsers and most ftp clients with the exception of standard
UNIX ftp.

Correct.

Maybe I'm missing something (or maybe Netscape beta 5 is); I can't
find anything at the above site beyond April 95 and when I try
the search link, I get "document contains no data" dialog.

If I had the disk space on a system outside a firewall and running
hypermail, I'd offer to start a new archive...

True. Since a big percentage of the traffic on this list has to do
with various folks trying to get dir working on various platforms, perhaps
this indicates a fundamental design flaw in the way dir works.
Nobody has any trouble with ls, as the code to support that command is
built in to wu_ftpd. Suggestion: why not build the code in for dir
too - it's not that difficult, and it would save a hell of a lot of
wasted time on this problem.

I have wu-ftpd 2.4 running under Solaris 2.4 and as far as I remember there was
such problem until I created the ~ftp/dev directory and all necessary devices.
The gcc has been used to compile ftpd.

Perhaps some of these libraries are not actually necessary.
By the way, has anyone suceeded to compile the ls staticly under Solaris 2.4?

I don't agree on this one. The next thing that will not run is tar, compress,
gzip and other convertors.

The basic rule is :

- Find statically linked versions of ls, tar, gzip

or

- Find out which libraries these programs need and copy those libraries to
~ftp/lib

Complete answers for both are in the FAQ at
http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html

In general : this list is not about the newest 'simpleterm for windows', it's
about a special kind of ftp-server. Which means (in my opinion) that people
should read the manual first, read the faq too, read all the readme's that
come with wu-ftpd, and *then* ask questions.

I would very much appriciate it if the 'new user info' for this list contained
a pointer to the current faq. The info-page at wuarchive itself for the ftpd
contains the pointer. (that's http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html again).

As one of the people who are having problems setting up ftp, I have to agree
with the suggestion about adding the FAQ to the welcome letter. On the other
hand, I do not agree with it's tone.

There is NO mention of an FAQ anywhere in the documentation for wu-ftp, or
in the new user info letter that is sent upon joining this mailing list.

I have lurked for several weeks now waiting for ANY mention of an FAQ, and this
was the first mention of it.

I resent the authors opinion that those of us having problems did not
read the "fine" manual. I read it, and still have problems. If there
is a requirement for statically linked libraries, then the manual
should say so, instead of saying you can either copy the libraries,
or recompile the binaries statically.

The author also assumes that we all knew where the FAQ is. This was the
first I have even heard of an FAQ.

I have to think that if this many folks who are reading the manual are
having difficulties, then maybe the manual needs to be re-written.

I have fixed a small bug in xferstats in the datecompare function
have you guys seen this ? if not here goes

$date1 = substr($a, 11, 4) * 365;
$date2 = substr($b, 11, 4) * 365;
$date1 += index("JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec",substr($a, 4, 3))*10;
$date2 += index("JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec",substr($b, 4, 3))*10;
$date1 += substr($a, 8, 2);
$date2 += substr($b, 8, 2);
$date1 - $date2;

this correctly sorts the dates according to the num of dates since 1/1/1 :-)

Howdy!

I am sort of a Unix novice, and I was hoping someone could spare a couple of
minutes to help me compile the wuftpd daemon. I checked the mail archive,
the related newsgroup FAQ, and other sources without success. Here's my
problem:

I am trying to build wuftp-2.4 on HPUX-9.04 and the message that I receive
while building is: "/bin/ld: Can't find library for -lPW". After reading
some man pages it seems to indicate that it is looking for libPW.sl or
libPW.a. Is that what it is looking for? Is this a special library that I
need to get, or should it have been included, or ...

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

True. However, how many messages on this list do you see about that?
Answer: Very few. I'd guess that a lot of folks never use the tar,
compress, gzip converters. Folks who do need to solve the problem,
but why make everyone do it?

>Complete answers for both are in the FAQ at
>http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html

Not so. I worked for a couple of weeks to get SunOS 4.1.4 running.
I have no interest in the tar/gzip/whatever converters, and so I
won't be spending any time at all on that. I could have better used
the time I wasted figuring this out on something else. I suspect
that a large number of folks will be in the same situation (correct
me if I'm wrong people, and I'll shut up).

It seems to me that basic functionality should happen right out of
the box. If you want to get exotic, then fine, maybe it takes a little
more work. One might wonder why "ls" is part of the basic package?
Why not have that call the external "ls" command? I suspect because
it is problematic to get that stuff working in the first place.

Right. I did that. It was no help. I then spent a lot of time on this
and finally got it to work. I don't like to waste my time like this.

I think that the fix for ls is also the same fix for compress, etc.
BTW: My next test is a small staticlly linked binary that just spits
"Hello Eric". After that, it's time to do a cp /usr/lib/* ~ftp/usr/lib,
and see if that works. I suspect that there is a missing library that
ldd does not report.

You need to have the same shared libs in the guest root, and (specific
to this error and solaris) ~guestdir/dev/tcp and ~guestdir/dev/zero.

Basic functionality does happen right out of the box; the 'ls' command
with no options is built in. And yes, it is problematic to get the other
stuff working.

This is not point and click on "setup.exe". Given the variety of Unix
flavors that this thing runs on and the variety of things that don't work
(SETPROCTITLE, etc.) from OS to OS, it is to be expected that it takes
more than 'make; su; make install' to get it running. The library
directory and permissions structure required for installation of dynamic
libraries varies so much from OS to OS that it would be yet another big
effort to get it to that point.

Hacks contributed by the mail list inhabitants have greatly simplified the
installation process; it is not perfect yet, and documentation can be
improved. If you find something that can be improved, submit a patch to
the list and it will be incorporated into the beta release. wu-ftpd got
where it is today by people doing just that.

RE the FAQ: Washington University controls the listserver, and they have
not seen fit to update the subscription docs to reflect the location of
any of the ongoing work. Evidence over the past year seems to indicate
that they want to dissociate from it as much as they can. At least now we
have a name that is associated with the university; for a long time we
didn't have that.

I for one appreciate their willingness to at least keep the list alive,
but the product needs the hacks that have been done to it, and people need
to know about them. There are major problems in the "official" release.

Andrew, could you at least update the new subscriber info to point to the
new FAQ? That will be enough to point people to the beta release as well
as other resources that can help people securely and more efficiently set
up this loveable beast. Put on all the disclaimers you want about not
being responsible, it's an "unofficial" FAQ, etc.

On another point: this is a potentially serious hole on your server if you
don't get it right. Part of pulling wu-ftpd up is studying and
understanding the details of directory permissions, guest and real access,
etc. The resources in the FAQ can help that process. Take this thing
*seriously*, because if you don't you've left one of your front doors
open. A quick and dirty installation will get you hacked quick and dirty.

Ok, point taken. However, I still don't understand that if the code for
ls can be put into the main module, then why can't the code for 'dir'
be put there too? I have looked at the code for doing 'dir' type
operations, and it doesn't look very difficult to me. Is there some
overriding concern there of which I am not aware? Dont "ls" and "dir"
do basically the same thing (except for more info in the dir display)?

Yes, I am taking this seriously. Also, I have been working with unix
systems for years (several flavors) so I don't expect setup.exe type
installations. Btw, ever tried running setup.exe under wabi? It takes
about 15 minutes to come up on a Sparc 10.

Cheers,
Tim

Well, I managed to get my ls -l working. It turns out that
copying /bin/ls to ~ftp/bin/ls was BAD. I accidentally noticed
that there is a /usr/ucb/ls also. When I copied that to
"ftp/bin/ls, it worked.

More details (gory, ugly details) to follow tomorrow.

As was suggested a while back at the beginning of this LS/DIR thread, the
problem is solved if ls is compiled statically.

I have succesfully compiled ls statically using gcc -static and also
SUNWspro cc -dn -Bstatic

Let me guess : the difference is an exact number of hours so it looks like
your host has been moved to the Greenwich meridian ?

Anyway, what is probably happening is that the SETPROCTITLE code is
overwriting the environment in stead of overwriting the command line.

Solution : rebuild wu-ftpd without SETPROCTITLE enabled.

I 'm glad to know that I'm not alone in this case...
I did it few weeks ago .
Probably you have in your "ftpaccess" file a line like this:

shutdown /etc/shutmsg

With this, ftpshut command creates a file shutmsg. The daemon
ftpd looks at this file and when it find it , the ftp service is anavailable.
To get it available, you have only to remove this file shutmsg.

Have a good day,

Pascale

Basically you are right. If you have that library then you should find
it find doing:

find /usr -name libPW* -print

If you do find it then ensure that you make file has an entry for libs
that is:

-L/directory-where-lib-is

So that the linker will know where to look.

If you do not have it then remove the reference -lPW from you Makefile
and try again (you may not actually need it). If that does not work you
will have to learn more about UNIX.

BTW if you are a UNIX novice then you should be *VERY* careful about
putting ftp on your server. It will allow other, perhaps not very nice,
people access in ways that you might not have forseen.

Wu-ftpd uses tar and compress (and gzip) to do certain conversions on the
fly. One often-used possibility is to tar up a whole directory structure so
it is transfered as a single tar file. So if you have a subdirectory
'test', and you do a

get test.tar

wu-ftpd will see there is no file 'test.tar', and then see if it can perform
a conversion of 'test' to 'test.tar'.

The rules for the conversions are in /etc/ftpconversions (the exact path
to this file is configurable).

FTP isn't something that you should just jump into and hope that it works.
If you are working this way, you may be in for a big suprise when your
machine gets broken in to. I think that anyone setting up an FTP server for
real has the sense to read everything they can regarding security features
of FTP daemons, etc. before they get started. O'Reilly's books are a good
start, and they could have answered a lot of your questions. WU-FTPd is not
your basic Word-Processor.

If you want functionality right out of the box, you shouldn't be working
with freeware FTPd daemons. You should be working with a company like
Microsoft which provides an FTP daemon for NT that is simple to get up and
running. WU-FTP is not your average run of the mill FTP daemon. It is
running on many many platforms and has security features that out of the
box FTP daemons do not include. The only time I've seen WU-FTP run as an
out of the box app, was installed on a Linux machine by someone who knew
what they were doing.

Get the O'Reilly books. It took me one day to get the server up and running
after I downloaded, but it took me 10 days to test it before I risked
putting my machine on the net.

Subject: DIR PROBLEM DEFINITIVE SOLUTION...
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Cutting to the chase:
======================================================================
SOLUTION:

YOU NEED TO HAVE /ETC/GROUP!!!!!! This is not optional. The ls
command does not do the right thing if it does not have an
/etc/group it can read.

======================================================================
ANALYSIS:

So, here's my final analysis of the "dir/ls -l" problem. I now
understand the differences between /bin/ls and /usr/ucb/ls more than
I care to, and also know more about the internal code of ftpd than I
care to. I also know why some sites have this problem right away,
while others never experience it.

I followed the FAQ, and ran truss on ~ftp/bin/ls. Yes, all the
libraries are in fact there. I then ran 'chroot ~ftp /bin/ls', and
that worked too. That's not surprising, considering that tar and
compress have always done the right thing. While hacking about, I
remembered/discovered that there is a /bin/ls and a /usr/ucb/ls on
the system. When I copied /usr/ucb/ls to ~ftp/bin/ls, everything
appeared to work properly.

I ran 'chroot ~ftp /bin/ls ' and 'chroot ~ftp /bin/ls.ucb'.
Both of these worked. So now the task was to find out why ftpd didn't
like the /bin/ls. After running multiple options through both
versions of ls, the only real difference I could find was that the
/bin/ls always showed group information, but /usr/ucb/ls did not. I
then tried 'chroot ~ftp /bin/ls -l' and 'chroot ~ftp /bin/ls.ucb -l'.
Both of these core dumped. Running truss with these binaries showed
that they were both opening up the /etc/group file.

When I copied /etc/group to ~ftp/etc/group, everything worked fine.

======================================================================
SO WHY DO SOME SITES HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND OTHER SITES DON'T?

A) Some sites don't forget to copy /etc/group. (BTW: This was
buried in the Solaris ftpd man page. Their discussion of the
contents of directories lists each file needed by name on it's own
line, while the section on /etc is pushed together into a single
paragraph. My fault for missing it because I didn't read the man
page with a fine-tooth comb.)

B) Some sites run a version of ls that does not show groups by
default. The test here is to do a 'ls -g' (show groups) and see if
that works. If it fails, then you don't have a ~ftp/etc/group file.

C) Some sites (Non-Solaris-2.4) have a copy of ls that does the
right thing when there is not a group file. (ie, it shows that
group number instead of core dumping.)

======================================================================
SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGES:

ftpd.c: This should really log an error message when something
core dumps.

ftpd/INSTALL: This mentions several problems with assorted
machines. There should probably be a warning about
this issue as well.

ftpd/INSTALL: This mentions the mailing list. It should
reference the FAQ and any patch sites as well.

FAQ: The FAQ should mention this problem/solution. This really
is a "Frequently Asked Question", and this fix is much
easier than trying to get the GNU fileutils package to
compile and statically link. (Yes, I know static is
better, but some people will take that chance anyways.)

Be careful doing this, especially with the ~ftp/etc/passwd file that has
to be present to give user IDs as well as group names. Strip these files
to the bare minimum, REPLACE ALL ENCODED PASSWORDS WITH A *, give a bogus
shell, etc. List no more users or groups than absolutely have to be there
to give an alpha name as owner and group. Don't give away useful
information for cracking your machine.

I don't mean to be pedantic/picky in a nasty way, but it is important to
realize the impact of copying your unstripped /etc/passwd and /etc/group
files to guest or anonymous ~ftp/etc/{passwd,group} accounts.

I have the beta version running so that anything in the /etc directory
cannot be fetched, but probably not many are running this way. This also
prevents real users from getting anything from the real /etc if you allow
real non-chrooted user ftp logins to your machine (use guest if you can).
See the docs in the beta to find out how.

Again, the beta location:

ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-8.tar.Z

You can't see the directory contents, but get the file anyway. It's
there.

Yes, I knew that, and should have put in a "standard disclaimer", or spelled
out exactly what I meant by "copy".

Per the docs, remove all users except "ftp" and "root", and do the above
things to those two.

Oh for crying out loud, I'm getting really sick and tired of all you
clever experts who undertstand security issues and so forth better than
the rest of the universe. For the record: I have been working with computers
for 18 years. I have implemented O/S level security systems, written
encryption systems, worked on firewalls, you name it.

This is the last time I'm going to say this, and I'll really be impressed
if somebody actually reads this and finally understands what I'm saying:

dir does the same thing as ls, with a different report format. ls is
built in to wu_ftpd. My assertion is that dir should be also. It is
not difficult code, and there is no reason I can think of that it can't
be put in there.

Several people (including myself) mentioned that it is difficult to get
dir working. You primma donnas replied with "oh well, you just don't
understand security". This is NOT a security issue!! It is difficult
to get external programs to run - it is NOT difficult to prevent people
from running external programs. You are looking at the wrong side of
the coin.

I cannot believe that putting the code for DIR into wu_ftpd is all that
hard, and I can't see how that causes security problems at all. If it
does, then I want the code for LS removed, as it must cause the same
security holes.

Reading the docs and setting up the directory trees is fairly straightforward
and therefore it is fairly easy to get the system secured.

> O'Reilly's books are a good
>start, and they could have answered a lot of your questions.

No they did not. The problems involved with getting "dir" to work on
a system (and by extension tar, gzip and whatever) have to do with system
dependant stuff like dynamic libraries which need to be there, in the
SunOS case, some kind of library cache file, and a varying amount of
"system" directories in the ~ftp tree. O'Reilly does an admirable job
of documenting how all this works, what the security considerations are,
and how to best go about approaching a good solution. They do not
go into the minutae of detail required to get "dir" running on every
system on the planet, and no one could expect them to do that.

Not a useful suggestion (condecension aside) at all. We run a unix shop
and have no interest in MicroSloth products.

Then your machine was not a SunOS 4.1.4 Sparc. You lucky person.

I'm sure Tim knows this already, but for the benefit of others that might
not... NLST (aka ls) does indeed use the internal routine send_file_list()
to provide a simple directory listing. HOWEVER, when supplied with any
options is behaves much like LIST (aka dir) and calls /bin/ls to do the
dirty work. Anyway...

Except that you'd be adding ALOT of extra code to ftpd. Sort of against
the UNIX philosophy, IMO.

You are right, however, it is more *worth while* to create an environment
such that the external programs can be invoked in a secure manner.
Again, IMO.

It's trivial actually. In a nutshell, just take the "useful" functions
out of GNU ls and put it into ftpd and make send_file_list() AND
ls_long() + ls_short() call them instead.

It shouldn't cause any more of a security problem than calling /bin/ls.
Heck, it should be less of a problem. The only issue I see is that it
bloats wu_ftpd even more which makes things like code reviews and alike
more difficult for those that even do such things anymore.

It's also more maintenance for the software which in turn could cause
security problems due to lack of attention in other areas. I put the
emphasis on "could" and certainly won't say "will".

Of course, but again, if you *really* wanted to incorporate them in you
could just by taking the appropriate subsets from things GNU ls and so
forth. They've (FSF) spent alot of time making those tools work on a
variety of systems.

Personally, I prefer ftpd to be smaller and use "outside" tools where
appropriate. I made hacks into beta-6 so it could use the TIS fwtk
authserv daemon and thus get SKEY, SNK, and various other support
for authentication. This technique, while allowing ftpd proper to
be smaller really just spreads out the vulnerabilities a bit.
I suppose one should just say "pick your poison".

Unless you have written your own libraries, you cannot be right.
Sun's static library libc.a contain a bug in which calls are made
to the dl library. Alas, there is no static version of this library
available on a sun. This problem is very well know by sun as you can
find heaps of description about it on sunsolve. Thus all static building
will fail with something like this:

gcc -static -o chgrp chgrp.o ../lib/libfu.a version.o
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
dlclose /usr/lib/libc.a(nss_deffinder.o)
dlsym /usr/lib/libc.a(nss_deffinder.o)
dlopen /usr/lib/libc.a(nss_deffinder.o)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to chgrp
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `chgrp'

This is what you will find on solaris 2.4 and 2.5. To my knowledge,
it's the case as well for sunos 4.x.

It should not be too much of a problem writing a custom made version
to get the thing right.

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'd like to keep up to date on any new bugs found and any new releases, but
w/o having the weekly "how do I do ls() on Solaris" discussion in my
mailbox. I have two proposals:

1) Posting of the FAQ weekly and inclusion of the FAQ's URL in the
distribution. That should help a little, even though the FAQ is only in
development. If someone needs help getting either of these done, I'm sure I
can find a way to help.

2) Creation of a new (moderated) mailing list with just the announcements. I
don't have a server, but I'm imagining the current list's server could
handle another list. The members of the current (discussion) list would
automatically get a copy of the items to the announce list, so there should
be no duplication of recipients. Plus, I'm imagining there are others like
me on this list who would rather only be on the announce list, which would
(obviously) have less traffic, thereby reducing load on the list server and
the net as a whole.

Please consider these proposals seriously, and those of you with the power
to initiate some of these measures please look into the feasibility of
implementing them.

X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23]

I have just upgraded the security level on 2 of my Ultrix 4.4 machines to
UPGRADE. This allows for users to manually migrate from a BSD style password
file (encrypted password in the /etc/passwd file) to using a shadow style
passowrd file. After doing the security upgrade the following happened:

Anonymous ftp worked just fine, but real users would get login failures...
220 host.domain FTP server (Version wu-2.4(2) Sun Jan 21 01:43:25 EST 19
96) ready.
Name (host.domain:root): realuser
331 Password required for realuser.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.

This, I hope, is something that others have allready run into and hopefully
is fixable. I looked for an FAQ but have not found one. However, following
the installation instructions I built this version using build ult. It
complained about typenames and such and I replaces the ftp.h file as the
instructions show and then ran build ult again. It was successful.

I then ran bin/ckconfig and get ok results I think:
# ./bin/ckconfig
Checking _PATH_FTPUSERS :: /etc/ftpusers
ok.

Checking _PATH_FTPACCESS :: /usr/local/etc/ftpaccess
ok.

Checking _PATH_PIDNAMES :: /usr/local/daemon/ftpd/ftp.pids-%s
ok.

Checking _PATH_CVT :: /usr/local/etc/ftpconversions
ok.

Checking _PATH_XFERLOG :: /usr/adm/xferlog
ok.

Checking _PATH_PRIVATE :: /etc/ftpgroups
ok.

Checking _PATH_FTPHOSTS :: /usr/local/etc/ftphosts
ok.

Again the anonymous ftp users are working just fine. It is the real users
who can not login.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! If you need to know more details
or see logs of access or whatever I will try to quickly provide them.
Thanks in advance!

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

Anyway, from looking around the password-handling code of wu-ftpd, I conclude
wu-ftpd is either with shadow passwords or without shadow passwords. So,
a transition system like yours is not supported.

Wu-ftpd uses the password calls from libc (or libshadow, when compiled with
shadow password enabled).

If _your_ libshadow can handle your situation correctly (I guess it can,
since your system runs ;) maybe rebuilding it with shadow support enabled
will fix this.

To enable shadow support, change the master config file for your system,
config/config.ult to enable shadow password support.

Also, check the manpage(s) for the getpwent routines and their shadow
counterparts. Maybe you need to call a different crypt (pw_encrypt).

I think the FAQ is a bit to big for complete posting. A weekly pointer to
the FAQ, with just an overview of the contents would be better. I am willing
too and capable of doing something like that. Using crontab.

'we' would have to ask wuarchive. (Would the person from wuarchive reading this

Thanks! That did the trick! I was missing the config.ult file changes.
There was a #undef that needed to be changed to a #define
19c19
< #define ULTRIX_AUTH
---
> #undef ULTRIX_AUTH

I had already added the -lauth to the makefile.ult but somehow I missed
the config.ult file all together.
LIBES = -lsupport -lauth

Again thank you for pointing me to the solution!

Just a notice to the list: I am presently working on adding the First
Virtual FTP hacks to beta 8. I did not know FV had hacked the daemon
until Friday. The version of wu-ftpd that FV hacked looks pretty old, and
I don't want to regress that far back.

I will work with Stan Barber to get the hacks folded into the beta source
stream. Don't know when that will be -- I have to get the new daemon
checked out with FV first to make sure it works okay. Probably not many
are using this, but I need it for my own purposes and want to see it in
the ongoing source stream.

Subject: wu-ftpd on linux with shadow passwds and expiring

I think I've discovered an "absent feature" (bug) from wu-ftpd on linux with
shadow passwords: It's not honoring the fact that the account has expired.

If you have shadow passwords on linux, could you please test to make sure
it's not just me that is having this problem.

In the meantime, I'll be working on a solution. I'm thinking I'll rip some
of the code out of the login() that somes with the shadow package.

On the topic of Ultrix, I've got an instance of the "'ls -l' and 'dir'
commands produce no ouput" problem. (all) Ultrix binaries are statically
linked, and I did search through the mail archives and found another instance
of the question but the answer was missing. 'ls' works fine for real and
anonymous users. I've gone through my configuration and worked through the
FAQ but cannot seem to figure this one out...

This is on Ultrix/VAX 4.4 and the ftpd is started from inetd via a tcp
wrapper.

By the way, Washington Univerity did the FV integration. We at FV only made
a few minor bug fixes to their excellent work.

I want to thank [email protected] for the prompt reply, however
I'm still having difficulty. I have a valid ~/ftp/etc/group.
I've downloaded, compiled, and statically linked the GNU ls
command and placed it into ~/ftp/bin (as well as ~/ftp/bin/ftp-exec
because I don't know what the hell that's for).

I gather that this is a common problem and that the above
are a couple of common solutions. They don't seem to work
for me. Any other ideas?

Greetings,

I've installed WU-FTPD 2.4 on an HP-UX 10.01server, but seem to be
missing shared libs to run the LS and DIR commands. I can transfer
files ok, but just can't list directories, etc.

The only thing I have in ~ftp/bin is ls.

Any suggestions? I'm assuming I need some shared HP-UX libs?
TIA.

I've also fixed this, and sent the fix in to the moderators. I didn't
get any response back from them... Here's a message talking about it:

Thanks for consolidating these and bringing them up. I had also run into a
couple of these problems (and had notified the wu-ftpd admins...).

I've also recently found/fixed another (this problem also appears in sendmail
since it uses setproctitle code that looks suspiciously the same...).

ATTN: Jason Patterson (<[email protected]>), this code may fix your
timezone problem as well (I've no Solaris experience, so can't be sure...)

4) The setproctitle support code kills the environment variables. This
messes up the syslog code in that syslog appears to get its timezone from the
environment (TZ??) (on the first call). If you do a syslog before a
setproctitle, things will be ok. If you do a setproctitle before a syslog,
the syslog timezone will be wrong (will probably default to GMT).

Here's the code change I made... (Only the AIX_LEAVE_ENV stuff is important
- some other mods I made showed up in the diff.)

I have the wrapper around my ftpd as well. Feel free to ftp to
ftp.acs.appstate.edu and poke around to see the files in my ~ftp/bin
directory. Its contains the ls command that is just copied from its
standard location. Also the ~ftp/etc/directory must have the svc.conf, passwd
and group files...

This is not much but I hope it helps...

Hmmm.. the shadow password support with Linux is still a bit 'clunky'.
Maybe a couple #IFDEF linux && SHADOW_PWD or something like that would
improve things. This way it could be merged with the main code in a way
that is more transparant for future users.

I discussed this with the fellows around here, and the consensus seems to
be as follows:

We could certainly host a moderated wu-ftpd-announce list. In fact, there
already -is- a moderated wu-ftpd-announce list, but it is rarely used, and
half of the subscribers are unreachable...so it would take a little bit of
cleaning up. We could probably handle the initial cleanup of "bouncing"
subscribers, but regrettably we don't have the resources to provide a
moderator for the list.

Sooo...if someone (or possibly more than one) wants to volunteer to act as
moderator, then it would basically be a done deal. If you're interested,
please post to the list, so that everyone interested in being a moderator
can get a general idea of the number of volunteers. I'm not sure if our
listproc is configurable for more than one moderator; if it is, we'll
possibly have more than one moderator, depending on how many volunteers we
get.

If you have any questions, feel free to either e-mail me direct, or post
to the list. Thanks.

Subject: Wuarchive, wu-ftpd, and patches/diffs
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

After reading the mail concerning a residing place for the new flavors of
wu-ftpd, it occurred to me that there's no reason we can't harbor the new
versions. So, for those of you who would like to see the new versions
mirrored/stored on wuarchive, I'm proposing the following:

Currently, the original wu-ftpd (version 2.4) is stored on wuarchive in
/packages/wuarchive-ftpd. I plan on leaving the original in its current
location, and making a few subdirectories off of the wuarchive-ftpd
directory, like ./patches, ./academ, etc.

However, for obvious security reasons, uploading directly to /packages (or
anything but /pub, for that matter) is not allowed; so I'll have to be the
one to add new files/directories. I'm open to suggestions regarding the
best way to do this; my initial idea is to have interested parties e-mail
me telling me where to get the files they want uploaded, and then
(presumably) I'd download the files and put them in the correct places. I
think this would work OK, at least initially; if I start getting flooded
with upload requests then I might consider asking for volunteers to handle
the requests.

As far as integrity checking goes (ensuring that no one sends us patches
inserting "back doors", etc.), I think that it would be best to establish
a certain set of people who are well-trusted in this area, and only accept
new items from those people. (In addition to cutting down on "hacked"
wu-ftpd's, it would prevent everyone and their dog from submitting their
own personal patches for wu-ftpd). Then again, we could simply put up a
"use at your own risk" sign, and leave it at that.

Please let me (and the list) know what you think. Thanks.

Subject: Academ version of wu-ftpd 2.4 Release 2 Beta 9 available for testing
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

BETA 9 is now available. It has been tested on the following systems:

Solaris 2.4, SunOS 4.1.4, NetBSD 1.1, FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE, BSD/OS 2.0.1,
BSD/OS 1.1, Linux 1.2.13.

It has been compiled, but not tested on the following systems:

AIX 3.2, IRIX 5.4, Digital Unix 3.2

I would like to hear from folks with access to HP-UX, Digital Unix, IRIX
and AIX in particular. Please send mail to the [email protected]
address.

This is another release candidate.

The location is:
ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-9.tar.Z

NOTE: This directory is protected. Attempts to use a directory listing
command will fail.

-0-FIXES IN THIS RELEASE-0-

Fixed all the support makefiles to build vsnprintf in the support library since
most systems do not have it. I have left it out of systems that I know do
have the real library routine (all BSD 4.4-Lite based OSes have this).

Moved openlog() in ftpd.c up closer to the beginning of the program.
Fix suggested by CERT.

Added endgrent() to access.c, private.c and extensions.c to insure that
the /etc/group or ~ftp/etc/group file is closed after it is used. Fix
suggested by CERT.

The "nodirs" option of the upload directive in an ftpaccess file is now
fixed and actually works. Previously, it did not work. Bug reported by CERT.

Two changes to popen.c --
1. In the child process, the port attached to the ftp protocol port
is now closed before exec().
2. In the child process, the effective user and group ids are
set as the real user and group ids prior to exec().
Bugs reported by CERT.

Hello Brad

You must have been on a differenrt planet for the last few days.

This has been an ongiong discussion for a while.

Here is my last reply:

There has been a great deal posted re: the dir and ls commands on
Solaris.

The dir and ls commands actually work differently; why I don't know. I
don't believe that the linking, static or otherwise, is relevant for ls.

I have discovered that most PC clients will use the dir command, but
that a ftp from a unix or ftp shell will usually employ the ls command.

It is the dir command that needs the static libraries, and the the ls
command that needs the dev entries.

If you have ls working this does not mean that dir works.

Everything works fine for me and here are the relevant parts of the
listing for my setup:

total 10
d--x--x--x 2 root other 512 Dec 27 13:29 bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root other 512 Dec 27 15:08 dev

Notice in particular the entries for dev and lib.

I hope that this will help all those people wandering in the dark.

Nathan

It is very relevant IF you use an options to ls. Using *just* ls causes
an internal routine to list out the directory. Using options to ls
causes it to behave more like dir; hence, invoking /bin/ls.

Some of you answered that it was a feature because all the syslog related system
calls send message to /dev/log and after the chroot the /dev/log file is no more
there.

The standard Digital ftpd does log the commands after the chroot and Benoit
Maillard ([email protected]) told me that it was because they don't use
the standard system calls.

While looking at the distribution files, I've found a syslog.c file in support
directory and I've modified the Makefile.osf in support/makefiles to include
it in the library.
There were 2 compilation errors on this file, in fact one warning and one error.

The warning is on

if ((p = malloc(strlen(ident) + 1)) == NULL)

and to suppress it, modify in

if ((p = (char *)malloc(strlen(ident) + 1)) == NULL)

The error was on the redefinition of openlog (or closelog). It comes from the
fact that these calls are redefined in <syslog.h>
extern int openlog __((const char *, int, int));
extern int syslog __((int, const char *, ...));
extern void closelog __((void));
extern int setlogmask __((int));

So I've copied /usr/include/syslog.h in the support directory and I've modified
it in suppressing these lines. Then I've modified syslog.c in replacing

#include <syslog.h> by #include "syslog.h"

So now all is working fine and even for anonymous users the commands are logged
correctly as for real users in the daemon.log file.

For the next version of wu-ftpd, it could be wise to add a definition about the
fact that the daemon is compiled with standard syslog calls or with included
syslog calls. The syslog.h problem has not yet been cleanly resolved in my
solution.

When I installed mine (sunOS4.1.x) with the ~ftp/dev/zero as 13,12 it
would not work just as yours doesn't. When zero is 3,12 it works fine.

I didn't see any mention of the timeouts/lingering ftp connections patch
being applied in Beta 9. I remember that this was still broken in Beta 8;
has it been fixed in Beta 9?

Greetings,

I am attempting to get wu-ftpd 2.4 up and running on a SunOS 4.1.3
machine. Everything is fine except the ftpconversions part. I
created and installed a statically linked version of gnu tar. But,
when I give a command such as:

get weather.tar

where weather is a directory, I get the following result:

550 weather.tar: No such file OR directory.

I know I probably can't expect an easy answer for "What am I doing
wrong?", but is there any techniques for debugging this thing to find
out why it is failing? Any obvious pitfalls I should have a look at?

Thanks in advance,

Curt.

Does anyone know what the point is on the PASV command to the server?
What does it do in all the gory details? It seems that my server
is hanging when this command is being sent to my ftpd. (What's
sending, why Netscape, of course). This is unfortunately the only
browser that I have found that sends that command to my ftpd, and it
is the only browser that does not like ftp to my server.

Anyone have any clues about this, or the details on PASV?

Can you not get a stack trace from your core? If so then you could tell
where the ftpd was dumping.

Use -g to compile ftpd, and also follow install instructions for
debugging.

Am I correct in thinking that you expect this to retrieve the weather
directory and all it contents as a tar file?

If so then I don't think that what you have in mind is realistic.

Otherwise, please explain what it is you are trying to achieve.

A ls -Rla of your ~ftp directory structure might also be useful. In fact
more information in general would help.

Ftp-Data connections are then initiated 'the other way around' then normal.
This can be usefull if the ftp client is inside a firewall, and can't
accept new connections coming from the outside.

In case you're running on Solaris...

9. Normal ftp clients work, Netscape ftp's fail. So, passive
mode doesn't work.

Apparantly ftpd needs write permission on ~ftp/dev/tcp in
order to operate correctly in passive mode (Solaris).

Fix:

cd ~ftp/dev
chgrp ftp tcp
chmod 775 tcp

It's me again. Still having trouble with the 'dir' and 'ls -l' on
my RS6000 (AIX 3.2.5). I have the etc/groups file and I have
built a (GNU) static version of 'ls' and placed it into the
bin directory. I've opened up permissions on it yet 'dir' and
'ls -l' still don't seem to work. It is becoming increasingly
important that I get this to work. I really don't want to
revert to the insecure ftpd that came with the system.

I'm probably doing something really stupid. Maybe it's in
the conf file. I'm really not sure. I would appreciate
any help I can get.

Thanks.

What I would suggest is try setting up your dir as a non-static first
and see if you can get that to work. You will need libc.a and libcurses.a
in the ~ftp/lib directory. If this works, then try setting up the static
version.

Thanks very much! That's exactly what it took. I looked through
the docs and stuff for that kind of information, but it was all
particular to the SUN.

Thanks again.

I will clarify and get into the some more gory details and hope stop
some rumors about Solaris :-)

The "normal/default" way the FTP server operates is that the clients
first open a "control" TCP connections on which all your ftp commands
are sent. Each command that results in some I/O to/from the file
system (like ls, dir, get, put) use a separate ftp data connections that
is set up and then torn down for each command. This data connections
is initiated from the server ("Active" open in TCP speak) and the server
knows which port to connect() to through the PORT command.

There is another more obscure way traditional BSD ftp clients can be
used to do a 3-way transfer. [ client on machine X connects to machine A and B
and then transfers files between A and B]. THe "proxy" command on your
"ftp" command ( which you may not have ever used :-)) does that. To accomplish
that PASV command was invented where one end of server actively opens the
connection while the other end listens (PASiVe open in TCP speak).

For various reasons I will not get into, Firewall folks do not like
ability of externally intiated connections to be able to connect to
services inside the protected zones. So RFC 1579 "Firewall Friendly FTP"
by Steve Bellovin advocated the use of PASV command even for normal
two way ftp data connections.

As far as I know only Netscape client implements RFC1579 "Firewall Friendly
FTP". However in doing that a combination of bugs in all BSD derived FTP
daemons (that might translate to all ftpd daemons :-)) and some
(broken?) Firewall/packet filter policies.

Certain Firewall/packet-filters only allow the "normal/default" FTP data
setup for their ftp clients where the incoming FTP data connection is from
ftp-data port (port 20) and the other end in some TCP "anonymous" port range.
The RFC 1579 advocated PASV command FTP data connections have "anonymous" port
range on both ends of the TCP connections. They are silently dropped. So
ironically these Firewall/packet-filter policies are not quite in sync with
the "Firewall Friendly FTP" RFC 1579.

The bug in BSD derived implementations of FTP servers is that once put in
passive mode, the server waits forever for an incoming data connections which
presumably is never made or dropped by certain (broken?) firewalls. This is
manifested as hanging ftpd processes that stay forever on your server
holding resources and eventually eat up the swap and affect performance and
force you to take notice :-)

For the stock SOlaris ftpd we fixed the problem in SOlaris 2.5. We released
a patch for SOlaris 2.4.

A lot of our customers do use the more feature rich Wu-ftpd. So we protoyped
our fixes on Wu-ftpd too and communicated them to the developers of Wu-ftpd.
I am not sure if those (or any other fix to that problem) has shown up in
the "official release" of Wu-ftpd are not.

Some folks on this list have done some ad-hoc fixes too for the same
problem where they timeout the accept() call and I have seen those
curculated. [ The way we have fixed is different and we have fixed certain
other scenarios which can generate hanging ftpd processes too which also
involve turning on TCP keepalives ]

If the "release" of Wu-ftpd does not have the fixes, then the FAQ should
contain atleast some version of the fix.

I am not sure about this information in the FAQ. We have not heard of this
problem reported from any customer. I will file this as a
bug and have someone investigate if this is true or not. If this is
true, it should be well documented.

Whatever this issue is, it is orthogonal to the "hanging ftpd" processes
problem seen on various ftpd installations.

I wondered if someone could send me the patch for using wu-ftp 2.4.2
Beat 9 with C2 (enhanced) security on Digital Unix. The patch I had
for 2.4 doesn't seem to work with the new version, and also dumped
core frequently when a user would disconnect without logging out by
typing bye, or quit. Thanks.

Greetings,

I am experiencing problems using a Netscape versions 1.1* & 2.0b* on
a Macintosh as ftp client talking to wu-ftpd Version wu-2.4(18)
(Sun Jan 29 00:58:05 PST 1995) The client is not able to
read even the top level directory listing. The version 1.1* client
says that "Netscape is unable to find the file / Check the filename
and try again." With Netscape 2.0b*, I get the banner message and
the client sits there for a very long time and prints "226" where you
will normally see the list of filenames. The "226" appears to be
the message identifier for "Transfer completed" or "Abort Completed"
There was no change made to the wu-ftp setup except for the
addition of users for accessing ~ftp/private/user_name and
~ftp/incoming/user_name

The same thing done with Netscape browsers running on Solaris, Win 95
didn't have any problem. Also I could use fetch 2.1.2 on the Mac, ws_ftp
on win_95, commandline ftp client on Solaris without any problems.
Our ftp server is quite busy all the time as it is also our web server
& campus nntp-server also receiving newsfeed from the net. So there could
be some delay in connecting to the ftp server, but never did lose any
connections for me. The only other significant thing that I do note
is that there are these messages in the syslog for a very long time:
"syslog: getpeername (in.ftpd): Broken pipe"

Our ftp site is: ftp.ea.com If any of you have a Macintosh running any
version of Netscape Client, you may point it to our ftp server
and see the similar results.

I tried to subscribe to the wu-ftpd mailing list by sending a mail
message to [email protected] and the listserv's response was that
no such mailing-list? Could someone help me with that too?

Many thanks in advance.

A perfect guestgroup-howto has been written by someone already, explaining all
the gory details..

'guestgroup howto'

A document describing the set up of guestgroups in the
wu-ftpd server. At this moment a seperate document from this

Ya all did such a great job on my last problem, I've got another
one for ya.

If I setup a link in /u/ftp to somewhere outside of /u/ftp, it
doesn't seem to work. Let's try an example.

Suppose I'm in /u/ftp and do the following:
ln -fs /u/nau/CoolStuff CoolStuff

One would hope that /u/ftp/CoolStuff would point to
/u/nau/CoolStuff. It doesn't to the anonymous user.
Instead it points to /u/ftp/u/nau/CoolStuff. Kinda
useless.

After reading the docs, I'm pretty sure it's not supposed
to work that way. They use links in the docs that extend
outside of the /u/ftp structure.

Any ideas?

Oh yea, I'm running this on an RS6000 (AIX 3.2.5). Also,
I believe the same problem existed before we switched to
wu-ftpd.

Thanks.

Hi gang!

I 'm running wu-ftp2.4 on solaris 2.5.

when I try to ftp as guest I get the following message:

Connected to rescol.fse.ulaval.ca.
220 rescol FTP server (Version wu-2.4(1) Thu Jan 25 08:32:43 EST 1996) ready.

530 User guest access denied...
Login failed.

Which files, shoul I start looking at?
Is this suposed to work with solaris 2.5 ?

thanks and have a nice warmy day

Subject: RS/6000 : wu-ftpd error in syslog
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi,

I'm trying to install wu-ftpd 2.4 on an RS/6000.

I found out that I needed the file /etc/shells, so now I can log on as
a non-anonymous user. Now, whenever I connect using ftp, after logging
on, whenever I issue a command such as ls or get or put, wu-ftpd will
put the message

Jan 23 19:21:05 batman ftpd[22543]: setsockopt (IP_TOS): Not owner

in the syslog file. The command seems to work, but I don't know if this
indicates some sort of problem.

I was able to find the line of source code where the error is happening;
it is in ftpd.c at the lines:

#ifdef IPTOS_THROUGHPUT
on = IPTOS_THROUGHPUT;
if (setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_TOS, (char *) &on, sizeof(int)) < 0)
syslog(LOG_WARNING, "setsockopt (IP_TOS): %m");
#endif

But I've used up my limited knowledge of C and TCP sockets so I'm stumped
as to where to go from here. Can anyone offer any help/hints/suggestions?

One thing I did was change the wu ftpd executable to owner/group
root/system, so it was like IBM's ftpd, and I also used chmod to
give ftpd set-user-id mode, also just like IBM's ftpd but that
didn't make any difference.

Also, would I be better off going to a newer version of wu-ftd? The
version I'm trying to install I got from the wustl archive. I understand
that there is a newer one somewhere else. Can someone point me in the right
direction?

Thanks,

Jon Carpenter

Howdy!
My second post to the list in months. :) Been following for a while
now. I may have missed something, but I don't think I've seen the particular
item of interest to date, so...

I'm running a site that has Linux 1.2.13 on a Pentium 90 with 64
megs of RAM, and is the primary DNS server for the domain, as well as the
ftp server for all users (real and anonymous). So it sure does get a good
workout, esp. when people make available files of questionable taste. ;-)

I was running 2.4.2 beta 8 for a while...now beta 9. The last few
days before I upgraded to beta 9, I noticed that the ftp server doesn't
seem to be responding to ftp connects "ftp: connection refused" (or something
along those lines), but kill -HUP'ing inetd clears up the problem. The same
is also true if I ftpshut the server, then delete the /etc/shutmsg file...
I have to kill -HUP inetd to get ftp restarted. The problem is still around
even though I have upgraded to beta 9.

Is this normal, a known feature, or a bug?

Also... I made sure my configuration was correct through the check
program supplied with the distribution, looks good. Double-checked all
config and makefiles. I know that it is tracking number of users ok, etc.

However it's not disconnecting idle users (i.e. users that has been
idle for 10, 12 hours) which is problematic because it's preventing the
corresponding number of users from connecting due to the limits imposed.
I could up the limits...but the problem would still re-occur, although after
a longer period of time. Is this normal? What could cause this kind of thing?

Last thing. :) Virtual domains... I had enabled VD's in beta 7 and
onward, but noticed that it seemed to break the 'upload' keyword, which
I need at my site, so I disabled virtual domains. Does anybody know if this
has since been fixed or where I could find a decent VD patch that doesn't
break anything?

Now, if there is any areas where more specific information is
required, please let me know and I'd be glad to supply it (strace output,
ldd, ls -l, whatever...). Many thanks! :)

I do experience the same problem, and yes, I did try changeing the GroupID
and UserID's of the tcp and zero files within the /dev directory - I think
I tried just about everything there is to try...

I would also greatly appreatiate *any* pointers to make this work.

The funny thing, I might add is that when I login via Netscape Mac as a
*real* user, and not a guest, everything works fine and dandy...

-go figure

Cheers, Uwe

BTW: This is wu-ftp 2.4 running on SunSparc Solaris 2.4

I just ran into this on one of my Ultrix machines. I had to changed the
config.OSTYPE file and define the ULTRIX_AUTH variable. I bet depending on
your OS you could define the SHADOW_PASSWORD variable...
You may also have to change the makefile.OSTYPE to add needed libraries...

I hope that this helps...

Folks tell me it is a bug, but I can't reproduce it on my test systems. I
am waiting for someone to provide me with a specific senario so I can
reproduce it on one of my test systems (BSDI, Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, SunOS
or Solaris). If you can provide that, I can work on a fix. Unless I can
see the bug, I can't fix it.

This is the first I have heard about this. Have you retested it in beta-9 to
see if it is still there? If you do find it, please let me know at
the [email protected] address.

[I monitor this mailing list, but I can't promise I'll catch every bug report
posted here. Sending it to the [email protected] address will get it
into the right queue for me to work on it.]

Hi

Do you have an /etc/shells file? If so does it identify by full path
name all of the shells that are in use?

Whew. I thought this was me. Dan, I'm seeing sessions that should've idled
out hanging around on my machine (BSDI 2.0 with a few patches) as well.
I just installed beta-9, but I fear that won't fix the problem. (I had
beta-8 previously, and previous to that the stock wu-ftpd on the bsdi cd
rom, which didn't allow files to be put in a directory with rights of
rwx-wx-wx!)

Stan : Tomorrow at work I'll try and run some tests to see if I can
get the situation to happen under BSDI. Wish me luck!

Understood. I want to produce a *lot* more specific information (specific to
Linux, at least) before I'll do so. My co-worker and I were discussing this...
it sounds as if with a sudden flood of simultaneous connections for ftp,
inetd may have panicked and disabled the ftp service, thinking it was looping
or respawning too quickly for a misconfigured ftp service. Does this sound
anywhere reasonable or a left-field idea? :) I'll still need to look at
ftpshut.c to see exactly how everything works exactly, and so on. We're
considering debugging inetd to see if this is indeed the case...and if we do
go that route, we'd be considering ways to debug inetd effectively without
adding sufficient delays to it to break things.

By golly...the same config (I had commented out the 'virtual' keyword and
the -DVIRTUAL in appropriate files when it didn't work for beta 7 and 8) works
with beta 9 now. Looks mondo cool! :) In the future, I'll re-test each beta or
release version to see if it eliminates a bug or introduces a new one. Sorry for
adding unnecessary traffic to the list.

Hello, everybody!

As I am new to this list, I'd like to know if there is a FAQ or
something like that. I don't know if this was already discussed here, but
my problem is that when I log in as anonymous, I can't list the files in
the directory. I followed all the instructions cointained in the INSTALL
file.
I have a RS/6000 360, with AIX 3.2.5.

TIA,

Uhm.. well.. sort of.

Anyway, the FAQ contains some pointers to general and specific solutions

I just went through this on AIX 3.2.5 and the folks on the list helped
quite a bit. My problem turned out to be the need for the libraries
libc.a and libcurses.a in /u/ftp/lib.

One person also included the following suggestion:
"======================================================================
"SOLUTION:
"
" YOU NEED TO HAVE /ETC/GROUP!!!!!! This is not optional. The ls
"command does not do the right thing if it does not have an
"/etc/group it can read.
"
"======================================================================
"ANALYSIS:
"
" So, here's my final analysis of the "dir/ls -l" problem. I now
"understand the differences between /bin/ls and /usr/ucb/ls more than
"I care to, and also know more about the internal code of ftpd than I
"care to. I also know why some sites have this problem right away,
"while others never experience it.
"
" I followed the FAQ, and ran truss on ~ftp/bin/ls. Yes, all the
"libraries are in fact there. I then ran 'chroot ~ftp /bin/ls', and
"that worked too. That's not surprising, considering that tar and
"compress have always done the right thing. While hacking about, I
"remembered/discovered that there is a /bin/ls and a /usr/ucb/ls on
"the system. When I copied /usr/ucb/ls to ~ftp/bin/ls, everything
"appeared to work properly.
"
" I ran 'chroot ~ftp /bin/ls ' and 'chroot ~ftp /bin/ls.ucb'.
"Both of these worked. So now the task was to find out why ftpd didn't
"like the /bin/ls. After running multiple options through both
"versions of ls, the only real difference I could find was that the
"/bin/ls always showed group information, but /usr/ucb/ls did not. I
"then tried 'chroot ~ftp /bin/ls -l' and 'chroot ~ftp /bin/ls.ucb -l'.
"Both of these core dumped. Running truss with these binaries showed
"that they were both opening up the /etc/group file.
"
" When I copied /etc/group to ~ftp/etc/group, everything worked fine.
"
"
"======================================================================
"SO WHY DO SOME SITES HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND OTHER SITES DON'T?
"
" A) Some sites don't forget to copy /etc/group. (BTW: This was
"buried in the Solaris ftpd man page. Their discussion of the
"contents of directories lists each file needed by name on it's own
"line, while the section on /etc is pushed together into a single
"paragraph. My fault for missing it because I didn't read the man
"page with a fine-tooth comb.)
"
" B) Some sites run a version of ls that does not show groups by
"default. The test here is to do a 'ls -g' (show groups) and see if
"that works. If it fails, then you don't have a ~ftp/etc/group file.
"
" C) Some sites (Non-Solaris-2.4) have a copy of ls that does the
"right thing when there is not a group file. (ie, it shows that
"group number instead of core dumping.)
"
"
"======================================================================
"SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGES:
"
" ftpd.c: This should really log an error message when something
" core dumps.
"
" ftpd/INSTALL: This mentions several problems with assorted
" machines. There should probably be a warning about
" this issue as well.
"
" ftpd/INSTALL: This mentions the mailing list. It should
" reference the FAQ and any patch sites as well.
"
" FAQ: The FAQ should mention this problem/solution. This really
" is a "Frequently Asked Question", and this fix is much
" easier than trying to get the GNU fileutils package to
" compile and statically link. (Yes, I know static is
" better, but some people will take that chance anyways.)

Think we've isolated the problem to the fact that we need to authenticate
our passwords with AFS... For example, a passwd entry would look like:

afsid:X:30417:40:user fullname:/home/user/whatever:/whatever/shell

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Subject: ftpd and Firewalls (I hate PASV)
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

So what are people doing about FTP-PASV and filtering firewalls/routers?
It appears that the PASV request tells the ftpd to open a random
bignum ( > 1023) port on the client side.

My understanding was that you should block incoming connections > 1023.
In particular, 1025, 2000, 2049, 2766, 6000-6xxx. Are people that are
running ftp servers just allowing any old site to connect to any old
bignum port they want? Or are they denying the use of the PASV command?
(Can this be done on the ftpd side of things?)

This is a BIG problem for me, as my director wants people that use Netscape
(Which does the PASV, and is apparently the only browser to do so) to be
able to ftp to our site.

Some firewalls (eg. Firewall-1) can allow >1023 only to specific hosts
using a packet-filter technique. You can set a rule to allow only ftp

still provide an opportunity for problems though.

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

Ok this one is over my head. And for the guru's of wu-ftpd.

I want local to my domain read & write.

I want remote to my domain read only.

------------------------------------------------------------------
ftpaccess:

class local anonymous 137.118.*.*
class remote anonymous *

autogroup anon local

upload /users/ftp /pub yes admin anon 0664 dirs
upload /users/ftp /pub/* yes admin anon 0664 dirs
upload /users/ftp /bin no
upload /users/ftp /etc no

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

Dir listing:

rwxrwxr_x admin anon /users/ftp/pub

Ok, so as it is set up, it works for the root (/users/ftp) directory.

But.... When a local user makes a directory, the new dir gets
a 775 (ftp.anon) permissions. ( rwxrwxr_x ftp anon /users/ftp/pub/newdir )

This means the the remote user (ftp.other) can write to this
new directory (/users/ftp/pub/newdir).

What I need is for the directory to be created with a 575 chmod.
So that ONLY members of the anon group (local ftp users) can write
to it. ( r_xrwxr_x ftp anon /users/ftp/pub/newdir )

There must be an easier way. Or something that I am missing altogether.
I would have thought that the upload section of ftpaccess would also
affect new directories, but NOOOOOOOOO.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeffrey

The below is a bug with wu-ftpd 2.4 -- I reported it to the list about
three months ago. We hacked the source code to do the right thing, where the
'right thing' was defined as used the same kind of permissions for creating
directories that are specified for creating files (ie group write or not, etc).

Cheers,

Hello everybody,
I would like to know how did you set the passwd-check field in the ftpaccess
file, and possibly the reason of that choice. Mostly I would like to know
if do you use the "enforce" option.

Thank you.

You should use rfc822 and enforce if you want complete email type
addresses for your anon passwords.

Hi

I would have used the help search page, but since it seems to be dead, can
anyone suggest why this is happening:

>netin: Connection reset by peer
>421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

when a user is getting files from my server (2.4 on a Sparc Station 20
running SunOS 4.1.4).

The user is coming from a remote site which from exprience is very busy,
I'm hinting there that my server may have decided that the remote sence has
timedout and closed the connection. Would playing with the -T option on
ftpd or having the user ;-) use the -t option help us here? If anyone has
worked around this sort of problem, what have you used?

Thanks

Colin

Even better, mail it to [email protected] so the current maintainer
of the patches can incorporate it into the next version so everybody can
have the improved version (share and enjoy principle).

Subject: [Q] Problem with datestamps and ftpwho util
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I am running wu-ftpd v2.4 on an IBM RS/6000 running AIX v3.2. I am now
experiencing the following problems (neither of these were occuring when I
first installed the ftpd but started about 4 months ago):

1. Problem with wu-ftpd's datestamps.

When the ftpd writes a error entry out to the syslogd, it includes a
date/time stamp with the error. The ftpd also date/time stamps transfers
to the xferlog, and can place the date automatically in the logon message
(using the %T specifier). My problem is that the time that is being
reported in the error log file, the xferlog, and the login message is six
hours (exactly) ahead of what the system time really is (as reported from
date run from the command line).

Does someone know what the reson for this time difference is? More
importantly, how to fix this problem?

2. Problem with ftpwho utility.

Ftpd comes with a utility (ftpwho) that tells you how many users from each
service class are logged on at the time of execution. When I run this
utility as a standard user, it reports that no one is currently logged in.
However, when I run this utility as the user root, it correctly reports how
many people are logged in.

Where does this utility get the information that it uses to tell how many
people are logged in? I figure that all I should need to do is make this
file (I assume it is a file) readable by everyone. It must have
acidentally gotten it's protection changed in the past.

3. Strage behavior from error reporting through syslogd.

I have also notice some strange behavior that has peaked my curiosity. It
seems that ftpd is writing a large (what seems like an unusual number) of
error messages to syslogd. When I log onto the ftp server (as user
anonymous or as a registered user) and do an "ls", the following message is
written to syslogd:

Jan 29 21:00:02 ollie ftpd[18944]: setsockopt (IP_TOS): Not owner
Jan 29 21:00:40 ollie ftpd[15131]: setsockopt (IP_TOS): Not owner

This message doesn't seem to be written to the log file when a user does a
file transfer or a directory change, only on an "ls".

The following is the configuration for syslogd:

# "all facilities, at the warning level and higher, go to Log file."
*.warning /var/adm/syslog

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

4. Processes not dying correctly.

While doing some testing for the last two questions, I noticed that ftpwho
(run as root) reported two users logged in (one anonymous and one service
class). When I did a ps ax, I got two processes for these two users.
However, when I took a look at the wtmp file (using last), it reported that
both of the users had logged off.

I am not sure if this is strange behavior or not (is would appear as such
to me). I am also not sure if this behavior has to do with a
misconfiguration of the ftpd or of the machine itself (not getting around
to killing the processes correctly).

Does anyone have any ideas on what is causing this and why?

--- (end of questions) ---

Thanks to everyone for their help and time in advance. Sorry about all the
questions (found the last two as I wrote up the first two).

The most frequent cause on most systems is that the information used by
the OS to determine the timezone it is in is not duplicated in the
chroot-ed file system from the regular file system. On BSD/OS, this means
copying /etc/localtime to the same location in the chrooted file system(s)
(e.g. ~ftp/etc/localtime). This is not a bug in ftpd, per se. Perhaps in
a future release of ftpd, we can carry around such inforamtion internally
in such a fashion that the time/date stamps won't have to depend on these
external files.

The file/directory that keeps this information may be protected from being
read by normal users. On BSD/OS, this file is usually in /var/run. I don't
remember where it is on AIX, since I don't have one of those readily available
to me to work with.

These errors indicate that AIX does not allow an unpriviledged process to
set these options. The errors are benign.

This has been reported as a bug in some versions of wu-ftpd. I am told
that it may still be present in the current beta, but I am still trying to
gather adequate information to reproduce it and kill it.

Hi all! greetings from Oz.

Can someone PLEASE send me a reference as to where I can get
the multihomed patches for Wuftpd? I had some information about this
a while ago, but I cannot find it now :( Searches are also proving
fruitless.

Any help is greatly appreciated..

Thanks,

Mark

Well, the 'all faqs' seems to be relative. The faq for wu-ftpd isn't mentioned
there.

(I have this thing for misinformation..)

The wu-ftpd faq, containing pointers to other documents including setup
information, is still at

Subject: Errors with wu-ftpd under LINUX
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello,

some times before I asked the following question, I didn't get an answer
and I didn't care for as I got a compiled version of wu-ftpd 2.4 for Linux.

Now it seems to me that this isn't the right solution to solve the problem.
I want to compile my own ftpd. I got all the files for the
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-8.tar.Z and I did all the things mentioned in the
readme file. After that I started 'build lnx' and I got the following
message:
Making ftpd.
cc -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -I.. -I../support -I/usr/include/bsd
-L../support -static -s -o ftpd ftpd.o ftpcmd.o glob.o logwtmp.o popen.o

conversions.o hostacc.o -lsupport -lbsd
ftpd.o: Undefined symbol _vsnprintf referenced from text segment
make: *** [ftpd] Error 1

Can anyone help me to solve the problem?
I am using a kernel version 1.2.8 or 1.2.13 and it doesn't work with
both. My gcc is version 2.5.8

Thanks

Frank

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

Hey all.

I was attempting to use my ftp so that local users are read/write
and remote (outside my domain) are read only.

There is a 'bug' in the way wu-ftp makes directories. One would
think that it would use the rules as defined in the 'upload' section
of the ftpaccess file. However, it does not.

So I hard coded the chown into the ftpd.c, and recompiled.

2263 /*
2264 * check the filename, is it legal?
2265 */
2266 if ( (fn_check(name)) <= 0 )
2267 return;
2268
2269 if (mkdir(name, 0777) < 0) {
2270 perror_reply(550, name);
2271 return;
2272 }
2273
2274 chown(name, 501, 99);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2275 reply(257, "HACKD MKD command successful.");
--

Of course you would want to use the user id and group id that corresponds
to the users you want.

Well, this is a hack and not a fix, but I hope it helps someone.

Subject: wu ftp and tcp Wrapper
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I am installing wuftp 2.4 version, and it works fine.
I had TCPwrapper running like Anonymous Ftp before.
I have my /etc/syslog.conf like this:

local0.info /usr/spool/mqueue/tcpdlog
local0.warning /dev/console
local0.info @secadm1.ccd.bnl.gov

And I have my /etc/inetd.conf

#ftp stream tcp nowait root /etc/tcpd ftpd
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/ftpd
-a -d -L -i -o -l

telnet stream tcp nowait root /etc/tcpd telnetd
shell stream tcp nowait root /etc/tcpd rshd

Before the installation I got a lot of information
in my /usr/spool/mqueue/tcpdlog, like this:

Jan 12 09:09:34 necs02 telnetd[19663]: connect from admc01.dne.bnl.gov
Jan 12 09:41:45 necs02 ftpd[21540]: connect from necs01.dne.bnl.gov
Jan 12 10:17:07 necs02 ftpd[21595]: connect from mail.yankee.com
Jan 12 16:48:38 necs02 rshd[20051]: connect from necs01.dne.bnl.gov

But now I have only this:

Jan 30 08:54:37 necs02 telnetd[25874]: connect from necs01.dne.bnl.gov
Jan 30 08:54:43 necs02 rshd[27411]: connect from necs01.dne.bnl.gov
Jan 30 09:08:59 necs02 telnetd[25909]: connect from necs01.dne.bnl.gov
Jan 30 09:15:08 necs02 telnetd[19791]: connect from admc01.dne.bnl.gov
Jan 30 09:22:50 necs02 rshd[26214]: connect from necs01.dne.bnl.gov

There is no ftpd right here. Any ideas??
How ftpd can write in this file or another file??

Hello,

in the file ' FIXES-2.4.2-BETA-9' is mentioned that the error with
vsnprintf is fixed.
That may be right, they changed some Makefiles but they forgot to change
Makefile.lnx
How to change the file could be copied from one other Makefile.

This should be a small hint to which Pat Wilson
([email protected]) lead me this day.

This is the difference. /usr/local/etc/ftpd is started by itself, instead
of the route via /etc/tcpd. Change the last part to :

/etc/tcpd /usr/local/etc/ftpd -a -d -L -i -o -l

/etc/tcpd is the TCP-wrapper, and therefore needs to be called in order to
operate correctly.

Hmmm. Try beta-9. Your gcc may be to old. I compiled this on gcc 2.7.0.

Which version of wu-ftpd is this? BETA-9 should do this just fine.

You don't say what version of linux you have. I have compiled the beta-9
version on Linux 1.2.13 with gcc 2.7.0 just fine as it sits.

Does a version of wu-ftpd 2.4.X (including beta releases) exist
somewhere that's been modified to support GSSAPI and, preferably,
Kerberos 5, or is anyone working on this now? I'm doing explora-
tory work dealing with internet futures, specifically ftp, and
I'm curious about any extant versions of wu-ftpd with support for
GSSAPI and/or Kerberos 5 built in. Why reinvent the wheel?

It is not my intent to add any more features to 2.4 before it is released.
It is my intent to develop a 2.5 release that will have additional
feature beyond those in the 2.4 release.

That means that GSSAPI and Kerberos 5 will be considered for 2.5, but not
for 2.4.

I am hopeful that 2.4 will reach final release before Spring, but it should
certainly reach release by summer of this year.

Hello!
I'm new on this list. Maybe it's not the proper place to ask(if so, excuse me)

Problem description:

Platform: SUN Sparcstation 5 / Solaris 2.4/2.5
build sol CC=gcc / OK
build install / OK
edit inetd.conf / kill -1 / OK
clients: PC/Mac/Unix / OK

If I use a www browser for PC/win3.1x/win95 with URL:ftp://ftp.tele.net /OK
the same with Mac/Netscape 1.1N/1.12N/2.0b5 ends in no list of files/dirs,
the login message is working although.
I think, that the client is sending "ls -l" and waiting for short listing,
or "ls" and waiting long one.
Any idea?

I have problems compiling the wu-ftpd under solaris 2.4 using a gcc compiler.
Has anyone did this before and succeeded ?
If there are special tips or hints, let me know.

Thanks,

I have it done (see my problem with netscape).
Solaris 2.4/2.5 gcc2.7.2
1. adapt pathnames
2. build sol CC=gcc
3. ./bin/ckconfig (if you already put your config.files into the right place)
4. install

What is your problem?

Have found a site where S/Key support (v 1.1) is already built in with
wu-ftpd-2.1 (at ftp://ftp.et.byu.edu/skey/)

Is there any way I can find the same sort of release for the latest
versions of S/Key (2.2?) and wu-ftpd (2.4?) ?

Grateful for any hints... The solutions suggested on the manual pages
doesn't seem to work on my Ultrix machine....

The academ-beta-9 release has s/key in it. That means that 2.4.2 when it is
released with have s/key in it.

I'm having the same problem on our RS-6000, running wu-ftpd 2.4.
Is there anyway I can prevent these errors from occurring? Not only
does the message show up in the syslog, but it also will appear on any
terminal logged on as root, which can be a little annoying.
Where the error is being generated is here (in ftpd.c):

#ifdef IPTOS_THROUGHPUT
on = IPTOS_THROUGHPUT;
if (setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_TOS, (char *) &on, sizeof(int)) < 0)
syslog(LOG_WARNING, "setsockopt (IP_TOS): %m");
#endif

Can I just comment it out (since the function seems to be not working
anyway, but does not seem to cause any problems) to prevent the error?
Or, how can I make the process privileged?

Are other people running RS/6000s having this same problem?

Thanks,

Jon Carpenter

As I mentioned in a later mail and now is confirmed, my co-worker and I finally
saw a few messages in the syslog about inetd disabling ftp because it thought
it was respawning too fast. So this does sound related to some sort of limit
on concurrent connection attempts to the FTP service and inetd subsequently
panicking. Anybody know what this number would be or any tricks to circumvent
this? I find this rather disturbing because we are a small site and get this
relatively often enough (temp fix: a cron job that runs every minute and kill
-HUPs inetd) on busy days, and can't imagine how larger sites handle this kind
of problem.

Any general tuning machines for large FTP access tips, out of curiosity?

An excerpt from the man page of the inetd in my (old) Linux distribution:
"
to spawn new servers. The optional ``max'' suffix (separated from
``wait'' or ``nowait'' by a dot) specifies the maximum number of server
instances that may be spawned from iinneettdd within an interval of 60 sec-
onds. When omitted, ``max'' defaults to 40.
"

It's probably similar in other inetds... So, change `nowait' to `nowait.200'
or something in your inetd.conf's ftp entry.

Howdy!

I have an intermittent failure when some remote sites with Windows (PC)
clients attempt to access my anonymous ftp site. The get an "Unable to find
the file /" or a 421 error, or a service not available or a timeout on
connection, etc. (netscape, air mosaic through compuserve, prodigy)

Any help, or clues would be appreciated. I have ruled out the service
provider, the DNS is fine.

TIA

Hi there.

We have a copy of wu-ftpd-2.4 running on UnixWare 2.03. We've set up
accounts for both real and guest user types. Transferring files with
the real user class presents no problem - files are sent and received
without any difficulty. However, when one tries to do even an 'ls'
as a user of class guest, one gets the following error on a consistent
basis:

230 User ludwig logged in. User access restrictions apply.
ftp> dir
200 Port command successful.
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): bad file number

The exact same error message comes up every single time. Has anyone
seen this before, and if so, what needs to be done to remedy this?

Thanks
Albert So.

Hello all. Many thanks to all who helped me find the answers to my
earlier question re Virtual hosting and WuFtpd.

I am running wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-9 from the academic site.

Now that I have compiled the daemon, I run into the following problem:

if the user connects to a virtual site, and logs in as 'ftp' the
ftpd dies with a signal 11, yet if they log in with
'anonymous' it works. Note that ftp still works fine for the
actual site.

The details of the sites are:

'real' site: netspot.city.unisa.edu.au (136.169.21.243)
'virtual' site: ftp.acte.unisa.edu.au (136.169.21.13)

Does anybody have any experience with this at all? I would appreciate
some further help as my tinkering over the last few days has
amounted to nothing.

Cheers!

Mark

The guest-accounts home-dir has to be set up like that of ftp-user, with
/dev;/bin;/etc;/usr/lib; copying the ls command (gzip,tar, compress if needed)
shared libraries if needed. See README/INSTALL on Solaris.
