"Lock up" not implying a SEGV? Interesting.
The default inactivity timeout is 15 minutes (which seems rather long);
does anything clear up after that time has passed?

Your ls -l is not working. I would conclude that your built in ls is
working, but the one in your ~ftp/bin is not, ie. you need to build a
static version or get all the appropriate lib files put in ~ftp/lib.

Folks -

Recently I got and compiled wu-ftpd (beta2) and am having the following
problems:

1. my /var/log/xferlog is not being created (or if I create it by hand
[ even with 666 as the perms ] not being written to). ckconfig says
all is well.

2. No messages are being displayed (via ftpaccess):

readme README* login
readme README* cwd=*

message /welcome.msg login
message .message cwd=*

I'm running Linux 1.3.96, libc-5.3.12

I will provide any more information that is needed. Thanx!

Shin!

I haven't gone through all the code for the daemon, but I have a
question I hope someone has the answer to. How does wu-ftpd handle the
connections? In other words, if there are 50 connections ranging from T3
access to the internet to a 14.4 dial-up PPP account, how does wu-ftp
handle the throughput to them? Will the T3 get most of the bandwidth
while the 14.4 PPP gets the scraps?
I'm trying to determine why our ftp server is getting so many
complaints about it's slowness when our hardware and connection isn't the
problem (sparc 20 with 256MB RAM and a T3 to the internet). We have
notice that we sporadically saturate out 10BaseT interface but we haven't
hit our limit of 50 concurrent connections.
How do large sites handle many connections and not sacrifice too
much speed? We'd like to up our concurrent connections to about
150-200. Do we need to change our hardware configurations any? Or do we
need to tweak our ftp server? And if so...how?
Thanks in advance for listening to my ramblings. I'd appreciate any
help you can give me.

ah, the joys of compiling source code on sgi...

Yes I too croaked when compiling wu-ftpd 2.4 on the sgi irix 5.3., Yet it
compiled find on many of our other unix platforms...

anyway, try the newer wu-ftpd (with virtual patch). It compiled great. I did
have to manually run the newvers.sh script, this makes a file: vers.c .

You can find the beast @ anonymous ftp:

ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11.tar.Z

Before I found the 2.4.2 beta, I used a 2.4 inst kit for irix 5.3 I found
from a gov site (but if you're like me, I'm a little skitty about
pre-compiled binaries). If you would like this, let me know... I'll digup
where I found it or give you access to the copy I have...

good luck,
kevin

Jason,

First off, it seems like your botttleneck is the 10BASE T connection to your
Sparc20. The T3 connections
can only communicate as fast as your slowest link(i.e. the 10BASE T) So that
means you are only getting
about 10 MB/s (theoretically; you will really get only 5 - 7MB/s) of throughput
to any ftp session
no matter what the speed is. Obviously a 1400 PPP connection is going to be
slower than a T3. If you are already seeing
periods where the 10BASE T is saturated, then you should probably explore how
that link is getting filled
up like large file download or other internal user loads. Wu-ftpd does not
manage ethernet loads or balancing, nor
is it concerned with the speeds of the connections made to it. It really has
no way of knowing that stuff. It will transmit
as fast as the link will allow.

Hope this helps,

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

Using wu-ftpd, I'm trying to set up guest accounts such that they get
chroot'ed to their home dir. The following line is from the passwd
file:

ftptest:*:19:26:ftptest account:/usr/users/ftptest/./:/etc/ftponly

When I ftp into the system as ftptest, ftpd puts me in /usr/users/ftptest
as it should but I can cd .. and end up in /usr/users. Somehow, the
chroot is done to /usr/users. anonymous ftp, on the same system, is
working correctly.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I apologize if this has been asked before, but it doesn't look like this list
is archived....

I just upgraded from 2.4.2 wu-ftpd to 2.4.2b11. We require logging for various
reasons, but I'm unable to get any log messages to be stored. Could someone
help me out?

ckconfig says:

Checking _PATH_XFERLOG :: /usr/local/logs/xferlog
ok.

(I touched that file, to see if it needed to be created before wu-ftpd would
open it, but that didn't fix it.)

The permissions are as follows:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root sys 0 May 01 15:43 xferlog

The old version logged to /usr/adm/xferlog, but that file isn't getting the
log messages either.

Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

If it's relevant, I'm running under AIX 4.1.4, compiling with IBM C for AIX.

Thanks,

-Harlan

The usual answer for this is that there isn't a -a on the command line
when calling from /etc/inetd.conf (I also had it fail because I call
ftpd from tcp_wrappers and had an extra ftpd on the command line after
the /usr/local/etc/ftpd. Here's what we have that works:
ftp stream tcp nowait NOLUID /usr/local/etc/tcpd /usr/local/etc/ftpd -a -l -L

Don't have a clue. But I'm seeing the exact same thing as
you. However, I am running it on Linux 1.3.97, so at least I know it's
apparently not system related.

This is killing me. I have tried everything and no libraries seem
to be missing and I have gone over and over the setup but my test
ftponly user with limited access is screwy. As I said I can see
the items in the directory with a text based ftp client (directly
from a unix shell using ftp blah.blah.blah or the Windows 95 text
based ftp client) but when using Fetch on the mac or WS_FTP on
windows everything works, get the welcome message, correctly
limits user to their directory, and user can rename,delete,put,get
all files but cannot see any of them in the directory.

I can't stand it. Something so simple and yet it refuses to work!
Bleh.

Any input would be appreciated.

Most likely you're missing some library in /usr/lib (chrooted area).
Check /var/adm/messages.If your binaries in /bin needs share libs do ldd
on the bin to see what libs it uses and copy that to the /usr/lib in
chrooted area.

I was just having this problem.... Are you starting ftpd with the -a option?
It used to be the default, but no longer. Also, if you start it with the -d
option, just about everything gets logged in your SYSLOG file.

Try setting up the login shell for ftponly users to be /etc/passwd.
Users logging in via telnet can change their password but can do

nothing else.

There may be security implications beyond the obvious problem of
being forced to allow incoming telnet access.

Anyone care to comment?

Users could change their passwords using e-mail programs that support
the Eudora protocols (which are extremely simple). It wouldn't be
difficult to handle this with an http form and proper cgi script
either (I think I've seen postings about people who have done this).

When I compiled the pwserve program for SCO Unix, I limited it so that
it will not allow password changes for root and other administrative
accounts via the server, and I further restrict access to it via
tcp_wrappers and router filtering just to be on the safe side.

Ok...ok... <grin>. Yes, the -a flag is no longer the default <sheepish
grin>

But I've noticed another bug .... if I set up group access, no, let me
rephrase that, if I UNCOMMENT the "private yes" flag in ftpaccess,
wu.ftpd segfaults (11) INSTANTLY when receiving the username. If I
comment it back out, then everything works cool (except for private
group access, of course).

Any ideas?

Shin!

Hello,

I am using wu-ftpd2.4 under Solaris2.4. I have setup a
group field in the ftpgroups file. However, whenever
I do a site group command I get an invalid command from
the ftp client. Does the ftp client have to support this
mechanism?

What I want is to have people anonymous in and change there
effective user and group ids. Seemed like this was the way.
Is there a better way.

Scott

Forgive me if I missed this in the FAQ...but I have a straightforward
question about xferlogs. Does this only log SUCCESSFUL transactions? In
other words, if a user crashes in the middle of a dl/ul will it still be
logged? We're trying to get as much info from the stats as we can and
this would help us a lot. Thanks in advance.

Scott,

You are correct that the client must support the site command. However
by using the quote command you can send the command to the daemon process
from the client, even if the client doesn't support it directly. Try the
following:

quote site group ...

Also, if you say 'help' you typically get the help for the client. If you
do 'quote help' you get the commands supported by the server.

Jim

Greetings -
Has anyone ported wu-ftpd to SVR4? I've spent the past week tinkering
with release 2.4 on our servers, running AT&T SVR4 MP-RAS. There appears
to be some consideration given - as evidenced by the #define SVR4 - but
quite a bit is missing.
Any information would be appreciated; thanks in advance.

It doesn't answer this question directly though.

I am trying to get wu-ftpd 2.4 running on a Sparc5 Solaris 2.3 --
with Sun's Recommended Cluster patches. And need some help

Basically, the daemon won't let any one in -- real users or
anonymous. Here is a sample log

haohui@test01:~$ ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.
179992 test01
Name (localhost:haohui):
180912 haohui
Login failed.
ftp> 187912 K value
haohui@test01:~$

And following is in the syslog

May 2 15:40:22 test01 ftpd[28397]: QUIT
May 2 15:40:22 test01 ftpd[28397]: FTP session closed
May 2 15:40:25 test01 ftpd[28400]: USER haohui
May 2 15:40:27 test01 ftpd[28400]: QUIT
May 2 15:40:27 test01 ftpd[28400]: FTP session closed

I notice that the numeric codes outputed by ftpd is funny.
Normally you'd see:
220 prod01 FTP server (UNIX(r) System V Release 4.0) ready.
But in my case:
179992 test01

What is this number printed before the banner?

thanks in advance

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

First of all, did this list just die or am I not subscribed to it any
more? I haven't heard a thing recently, but I certainly thought I was
subscribed!

With beta 10 I'm having a bit of problem with the "upload" ACLs. I have
the following:

upload /hack/ftp * yes user grp 0644 dirs
upload /hack/ftp /incoming yes user grp 0400 nodirs
upload /hack/ftp /bin no
upload /hack/ftp /etc no

It seems that the "nodirs" directive on the /incoming line sticks to all
the others; I cannot create directories in the root account if nodirs is
defined on the /incoming line. Looks like the code has changed in this
area due to a CERT advisory, but I've not had time to sort through it all
yet.

Please reply to me directly also. TIA,

Subject: wu-ftpd 2.4.2 Beta 11 and S/Key seg vees
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello,

I'm trying to compile wu-ftpd 2.4.2b11 with S/Key support and
I've been unable to get a working version. AltaVista had only this
list as something to do with wu-ftpd and skey, and I was unable to find
any archive of it on the listserver, so I'm going to barge right in and
ask away. Please forgive me if this has been covered before. I'm using
gcc-2.7.2 under Solaris 2.5, for what its worth.

My questions in summary are as follows:
1) Is anyone successfully using beta 11 with skey?
2) If so, where did you get your skey from?
3) Are the issues with skey that aren't particularly discussed
in the files of the beta 11 distribution?

Now, in detail, is the story of the difficulties I'm having.

I'm using the wu-ftpd beta 11 from ftp.academ.com, and I'm
using the S/Key from Wietse Venema's logdaemon-5.1 package. The first
problems I hit are in the compile stage, with src/ftpd.c. It includes
skey.h twice, as such:

First, around line 238:
#ifdef SKEY /* H* add-on. Not as elegant as Wietse's */
#include "skey.h" /* logdaemon package, but does the job. */
struct skey skey_blk;
char chbuff[80];
#endif

Secondly, around line 331:
#ifdef SKEY
#include <skey.h>
int pwok = 0;
#endif

This second include won't work with the include file copied to src
(as the instructions in FIXES-2.4-HOBBIT say to do); if you add -L.
to LFLAGS in the src/Makefile, then you have multiple definitions,
so I just commented out the second #include.

After this was done, it would compile, but would die with
a segmentation violation right after the user entered the password.
Using gdb, I found the problem was the following line, around line
1300 of ftpd.c, in function pass:

strcpy (xpasswd, "wrongo:spazmoid"); /* disable regular passwds */

Now, xpasswd starts out as a char *, and is being pointed to the
string ":" by an earlier line:

xpasswd = skey_crypt(passwd, salt, pw, pwok);
/* In my execution, skey_crypt is doing 'return ":";' */

So, it seems to me, ftpd.c shouldn't be trying to strcpy to
a pointer which points a string literal; under gcc at least, it causes
a segmentation fault. Also, even if the memory for ":" was malloc'ed,
":" would be too small to hold "wrongo:spazmoid", and it would overwrite
array bounds with undefined results.

So, by hook or by crook, skey support seems somewhat damned here.
I played with things by replacing the strycpy lines with an equivalent
strdup, and then stepped through, and I'm still not authenticating --
the two passwords are very clearly not matching, so I'm getting "login
incorrect," but that's a problem for another day.

In what may be a related tidbit, the FIXES-2.4.2-BETA-2
files says the following:
> See FIXES-2.4-HOBBIT for details. Note that there is now SKEY support
> in this release and server that ONLY work for ANONYMOUS ftp can now be
> built. Check the config.h file in the root directory for information
> on this.
I'm not really sure how to parse the second sentence -- is it
saying s/key support is only for anonymous users? And if so, does this
still hold at beta 11?

In general, I'm confused, and would appreciate any help I can
get.

Thanks in advance,

I recently installed wu-ftpd-2.4 for linux 1.2.13 and I've run into a few
problems...

First, when I do a 'ls' or 'dir' as an anonymous user it doesn't return
anything. I can change dirs and get files, but just can't see them.

Second, none of my messages (welcome.msg, .message, README's) show when
logging in or changing directories.

Any ideas?

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

Hi,

I'm running into a bizarre problem with my normal users. When they log
into their directory, they can see all of the dot (.) files in there, even
though they don't have read permissions. For example, a normal user can
see a .rhosts file in their directory with the following permissions:

-r-------- 1 root root 0 May 5 19:29 .rhosts

How is this possible? I'm using the ls that comes with wu-ftpd. In
addition to seeing the file, the user can actually DELETE it with the
command , "del .rhosts" !!!! Why is the ftpd user so powerful? I mean,
if if I did mess up permissions elsewhere (which i don't think I've done),
shouldn't root be the only one who can delete that file, much less see it?

The users are members of a guestgroup so they get chrooted to a directory
when they log in. This happens with wu-ftpd2.4.2 beta10 on solaris 2.3 and
beta11 on solaris 2.5.

Does anyone know what's up?

It depends on the perms and owner of the directory. The owner of the
directory can delete files under it even if they are not owned by this person.
or if the directory has world write perms.

If your OS supports it you might want to look into setting the sticky bit on
the directory. This would keep people from deleting the files unless they own
them.

Seeing the contents of a directory has to do with the permissions on the
*directory*, not the files in the directory. Given permissions of rwx, if
the r bit is set for a particular user, users can see all contents
regardless of file settings. If the w bit is set on a directory, files
can be deleted regardless of permission setting if ownership permits. The
x bit must be set to access the contents at all.

You may want to set the sticky bit (1xxx permissions) on the directory so
only the owner of a file can delete it.

-]I'm running into a bizarre problem with my normal users. When they log
-]into their directory, they can see all of the dot (.) files in there, even
-]though they don't have read permissions. For example, a normal user can
-]see a .rhosts file in their directory with the following permissions:
-]
-]-r-------- 1 root root 0 May 5 19:29 .rhosts
-]
-]How is this possible?

Permission to see a file is given by the directory. Permission to read
a file is given by the file. Just because a file isn't readable doesn't
mean the user can't see it, and visa-versa.

If you want to keep a user from seeing a file, you need to remove read
permission from that directory.

For ftp, you could also make the anonymous directory something other than
the ftp account's home directory.

-] In
-]addition to seeing the file, the user can actually DELETE it with the
-]command , "del .rhosts" !!!! Why is the ftpd user so powerful? I mean,
-]if if I did mess up permissions elsewhere (which i don't think I've done),
-]shouldn't root be the only one who can delete that file, much less see it?

Again, this has to do with the directories permissions. If a user has
write access on a directory, he can delete the files in that directory,
regardless of ownership or permission.

-]The users are members of a guestgroup so they get chrooted to a directory
-]when they log in. This happens with wu-ftpd2.4.2 beta10 on solaris 2.3 and
-]beta11 on solaris 2.5.

A solution for your problem would be to chroot the user into something other
than the guest's home directory, say ~guestid/ftp. This would allow you to
separate out what is ftp accessable and what is not for those account,
includning the dot files.

Subject: Mac Fetch can't see files

Hi,

I am running wu 2.4.2 beta 11 on a solaris 2.5 machine, and beta10 on a
solaris 2.3 machine. My problem is, if I use the ls that's built into
wu-ftpd, or if I use a statically compiled ls, then anyone who tries to
access their accounts using Fetch 3.0 on the Macintosh can't see any files
in their directory. Everything is fine if I have a dynamically linked
version of ls in there though. Things also work fine if I just use "ftp"
from the command line on a unix box.

Does anyone know what's I can do to fix this?

I asked this question about a month ago (with no response).

Can anyone tell me (or give specific example) of how to get multiple
ftp sites in one physical server using wuftp?

Example:

Server Name ftp Directory
ftp.ff2.com /servers/ff2/usr/ftp
ftp.oryx.com /servers/oryx/usr/ftp
ftp.disknee.com /server/disknee/ftp

These would all reside on one physical machine...how is it done?

PS - I already have multiple domain names resolving to an IP address
within the machine for http purposes (virtual servers).

Thanx,
RAK

I'm running beta 10

this from my ftpaccess file

virtual 204.209.167.13 root /export/home/virtual/upi
virtual 204.209.167.13 banner /export/home/virtual/vmsgs/banner.upi
virtual 204.209.167.13 logfile /export/home/virtual/vlogs/xferlog.upi

if you are running solaris you need to setup another ftp directory
with all the bin,etc,dev,usr don't forget the zero files

Hi,

Got 2 Question's:

1. Running BETA 11 with Linux 1.3.98, it can not be compiled
due a error in glob.c

glob.c: In function `matchdir':
glob.c:284: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
make: *** [glob.o] Error 1

2. does the virtual option allow site's passwd file
such as:

virtual 10.10.10.110 passwd /export/home/virtual/etc/passwd
So we can control access, something like virtual host x
can only be access by user A, host y by user b

Anybody has a solution for this?, thnz

Kind regards,
Luc

So digged the sources and header files
I added the following in the src/Makefilei : -DIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS
And all OK now.

Try setting -DDIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS in your makefile and
recompiling. Or putting

#define DIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS

at the top of glob.c (and some other places I don't remember).

Subject: ftp conversions
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello everyone!

I've recently installed wu-ftp version 2.4 on a Sun Sparc 10
running Solaris 2.4.

The file conversions aren't working properly and I don't know
why!?! I've read the FAQ and the man pages (I think)....

I seem to have all of the required libraries and I have tested
the commands in the <wu-ftp-home>/bin directory using the chroot
command.

I have looked at the /etc/ftpaccess and /etc/ftpconversions files
and tried to make changes there but to no avail!

Here is the problem. I start up an anonymous ftp session and cd
to the ``pub'' directory. I type ``dir'' to get a directory listing
and then type ``get <filename>''. This works fine.

However, if I type ``get <filename>.Z'', or ``get <filename>.gz'', or
``get <filename>.tar'', or any combination of these, I get a file not
found error.

Can anybody help? Perhaps some example ftpconversions and ftpaccess
files would help. Have I forgotten something?

Manfred.

Anyone experienced this?

I have just compiled a new version (2.4) and everything except the following
seems to work OK:

The problem is after one transfer the server disconnects the client. The
transfer itself works OK, and the problem ALWAYS happens after one transfer.
The size of the file does not matter.

Hi

I am new to this list, so please excuse me if this has already been =
addressed.

I run WU_FTP 2.4 under DU 3.2D. This seems to have been configured =
correctly, in that it functionally works. I have no problems using all =
the features available.=20

However, when I attempt to transfer large files, the transfer hangs. The =
symptoms show up as:

Initially the transfer is very fast, then slows down until it hangs.

Has anyone else seen this happen , do I need to increase some buffering =
parameter, or is there a patch to this?

Any help appreciated.

Sounds like 'ls' is running wu-ftpd's internal version of ls. The 'ls -la'
is definitely running /bin/ls, and that is what is faulting. You may
be missing some dynamic libraries or some such thing.

Subject: Bug: Dirs. created w/ mkdir should have the owner/group of new files.
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Given this specification for the incoming directory,
upload /var/ftp /incoming yes ftp astro 0666
a new directory created in /incoming with mkdir should have owner ==
'ftp' and group == 'astro', just like new uploaded files.

At our site FTP users have the group "ftp"; we're reluctant to give
them the group "astro" because that implies certain privileges. We
specify that any files they upload will have group == 'astro',
however, so that any of our users can delete them -- this works great.
The problem comes when they create directories with mkdir. Then the
directories have group == 'ftp' and can only be deleted by our
overworked sysadmin.

Thanks for your time (and for creating and making available this great
package).

In relation to the problem below, is there a way to compile a STATIC ls
that will allow you to do ls -la
or ls -lR ? My core is also getting dumped when I do ls -l on a STATICALLY
compiled ls. I'm on Solaris 2.x.
Thanks!

Using gcc, just add the '-static' flag. Not sure of other compilers.
Static utilities are *much* simpler to use, and if you need multiple
instances for multiple guest logins just use hard links to a single file.

Hi pat,

There is something I could suggest: with only 24KB your "compress" binary
could be a shared binary. If that's the case, then you need to have the
right libs in your ~ftp/lib directory. Example:

palanthas:~/scripts# ldd ~ftp/bin/compress
libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.6pl27) => /lib/libc.so.4.6.27

palanthas:~/scripts# ls -l ~ftp/lib
total 447
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 17 Sep 25 1995 ld-linux.so.1 ->
ld-linux.so.1.6.5*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19543 Sep 25 1995 ld-linux.so.1.6.5*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 20484 Sep 16 1995 ld.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 14 Mar 26 00:02 libc.so.4 ->
libc.so.4.6.27*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 634880 Sep 14 1995 libc.so.4.6.27*

(that was under Linux with wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11).

This could or could not fix your problem, but if everything else works
fine, then it's something I'd check. You may also want to check if
get dir.tar works or does not work. I hope this helps a little.

I think you may be right about the shared library part. I am working
under HPUX 9.03, an important fact I neglected to mention. The
compress binary has references to dld.sl, but I can't find any
equivalent program to ldd on HPUX.

Here is the rub, though; I had this working before, albeit with some
problems, but the programs were at least executed. Same binaries and
everything. The problem then was something else, but at least the FTP
server tried to _start_ compress. It did the whole "opening pipe from
/bin/compress" bit. With no error messages now, I am almost positive
that the FTP server is not even attempting to run compress, but just
failing when it is supposed to be resolving the filename. (I checked
my ftpdlog and syslog.) When I test it, I get:

ftp> get welcome.msg.Z
200 PORT command successful.
550 welcome.msg.Z: No such file OR directory.

and:

ftp> get pub.tar
200 PORT command successful.
550 pub.tar: No such file OR directory.

Why isn't it even TRYING?

Just a guess, but is your ftpconversions file in the right place,
right permissions, etc. Try the ckconfig program to check the path, and
also check the permissions.

I've already compiled with the -static flag, but the ls -la doesn't work.
Does anyone know if I need to make modifications to the ls.c source or

Can anyone tell me what the "deny" specification in the ftpaccess file
actually does? I set the deny to !nameservd which I thought would deny
access from hosts that have an invalid IP address-to-name mapping in DNS.
I guess I want to know what is considered an invalid mapping.

Thanks.

We're having a problem with passive mode ftp. Clients trying to connect
in passive mode get the following error:

#DB# rsp: 425 Trying, but can't open passive connection: Permission denied.

Does anyone out there have any experience with this kind of thing? We
don't have any firewalls here so I've never had to deal with passive ftp
modes and I'm feeling pretty clueless.

Yes, I too have the same problem. I wish I knew how to easily determine the libraries needed so
I would know which ones to put in ~ftp/lib .

Also, I would like to get the source and make a statically linked version.

The new question arises: If ftpd needs static-ls or copies of libs, how will that affect memory
usage? I assume that the first daemon will be the culprit and additional sessions will share it.
My speculation is that perhaps a static-ls will be worse for multiple sessions if not compiled
and linked properly. It would be great if somebody could tell us a safe way to use the ls and
lib files that are already on the system before adding ftpd.

! READ ON - PERHAPS I CAN DO MY PART !

About me - I do have a background that precedes PC's. I did HW products and wrote device
support for it on UNIX and other OS's in the 80's.

I am running Slackware 3.0 Linux and wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 11 . I have the latest NCSA httpd on
my LAN and am using it to "test drive" my pages/cgi/perl before I ship it to the live server.
However, as soon as my local backwoods Telecom company gets up to date, I will be putting my
wtop.com domain here with www, ftp, mail and more. This domain is intended to be technically
oriented. The first topics addressed are outlined herein.

WOPL's WELL ORDERED PROCEDURE LISTS
I have wound up with 2 Slackware CD's in order to get the books they came with. Both books
have deficiencies. I am the type that can usually get started with a single checklist and
do the customizing later. I will be posting pages at wtop.com with the proper procedure
explained for many common setups. Links to common definitions and subprocedures would be
a nice touch.

here is a good example of time and money misallocated

book1 - the CD includes a "security fixed" version of wu-ftpd. Necessary lines in
/etc/inetd.conf
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
are not given, even though the default files created from same CD need changes.
Book says to simply copy /bin/ls and chmod, chown it.

book2 - better but says to maybe put libc.so.1 and rld into the ~ftp/lib directory and
make a ~ftp/dev/zero device(rld needs it). I have no rld lib on my system. Says to do
this step only if ls requires it. Debug logging shows zip.

Neither book tells me how to just get an obedient and unsecure ftpd up. I just want to
move CD and internet-obtained files over the LAN and get this box configured. Right now,
I can do that by typing each cd and stor command. I then switch to my open telnet window
and move,make, etc.

Neither book tells me how to deal with the Slackware trans.tbl files easily. These are
the files that map the CD(msdos) files to the linux destination. I will have to write
some perl to do this and post it.

Neither book tells me that some ln -s commands may be required to make wu-ftpd. I had
just trimmed my kernel and had to figure out which links to restore before I could
compile wu-ftpd.

CRAM's COMMONLY REPEATED EMAIL ANSWERS
Looking at the archived messages from this and other lists, I can see how it would be easier
to reply with a URL to many common questions e.g. "try http://www.wtop.com/wu-ftpd/foo-111 for
that one"

BGHOS Bill-ionare Gates HALL OF SHAME (pronounced bug-Oh-ess)
I have been severely burned more than once by Microsoft crapware. I am trying to eliminate
all of it from my LAN. I notice that as I move functions off of WFWG/W95 boxes, they don't need
rebooting as often. The only application that seems to run OK for extended periods is a simple
screen saver.

FREE SOFTWARE ADVOCACY
Interesting that Slackware 3.0 correctly probes my ports and finds the right IRQ's.
Microsoft does not. The "average" user could not get $25 NE2000 cards working with
MS based OS's easily. Even if he could, MS products are resource pigs. My old 386
is now "serving" me with linux.

People, I will be bringing up topoftheworld.com and wtop.com in the next few days. Visit
often and let me know what is needed.

For linux, use 'ldd' to see what libraries are needed.

For Solaris, use 'truss'.

Not sure of other OSes.

Well done! It's working! Only took a few minutes!

I have pasted in the stuff from my telnet window.

boonies:/home/ftp/lib# ldd -vVrd /bin/ls
ldd: version 1.7.3
/lib/ld.so: version 1.7.3
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.0.9
boonies:/home/ftp/lib#

By typing man ldd, I was able to get an idea of the linux loader libraries required:

For ELF programs, ldd forks and execs each program with
the appropriate environment variables set. The ELF
dynamic linker, ld-linux.so, which normally loads the
shared libraries, notices this special case and prints the
dependencies.
The closest match I found was ld-linux.so.1

boonies:/home/ftp/lib# cp /lib/ld.so .
boonies:/home/ftp/lib# cp /lib/libc.so.5 .
boonies:/home/ftp/lib# cp /lib/ld-linux.so.1 .
boonies:/home/ftp/lib# ls -l
total 598
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20722 May 11 18:13 ld-linux.so.1*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20484 May 11 18:07 ld.so*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 562683 May 11 18:10 libc.so.5*
boonies:/home/ftp/lib#

I switched to the ftp window and connected, got a listing now. Went ahead and copied a whole directory
structure over to test.

I will put all this up in HTML and post the URL. If anybody wants pretty graphics take some
Magic Markers and draw on your screen.

You can use ldd also on solaris2 and some other SVR4-Unixes (not all but most
of them). On SGI's with IRIX5 theres no ldd and no truss. Use "par -s -SS"
and check the output for loaded files.
Additional you can do a "chroot /your/ftp/home /bin/ls" and check the error
messages.
A good hint I think is to read the manuals for the system-ftpd. In all manpages
Isee there is a description how th set up a chroot-directory for ftpd.

I see the same problem on a our server ftp.mch.sni.de. After some searching
the solution was very easy. To use PASV you need ~/dev/tcp in the change
root directory. As in the manual-page for ftpd mentioned i create it,
but forget to set the write permissons for all.
Maybe the same problem for you. The permission denied is the resulting
error-message, because ftpd wants to access ~/dev/tcp for writing without
permission.

hope this helps ....

Subject: Guest fpt problems.
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a guest ftp account that behaves in the following
manner:

chroot to a specified directory for the guest account.
does not let user "cd .." or "cd /" from the "new" root directory.

I tried to set up this guest account in the same manner as the anonymous
ftp. In other words, I created the user account, set up a home directory,
created the dev, bin, usr/bin, usr/lib, etc and pub directories in this home
directory and put the appropriate files in them (following the anonymous ftp
model).
Well, seems almost everything works fine, except for one thing:

When I log in as this "user" and type PWD, I get back "/home/user" instead
of just "/". This means that the user can CD .. and CD / from this subdirectory
and go lower in the directory hierarchy. This is bad.

I've seen ftp's for this type of guest accounts work, and chroot people to
a certain directory (an unique directory for each guest) and not let them leave
their tree.

If anyone has *any* insight on how can I set this up right, please reply
to my email address! It is [email protected]

Many thanks!

Nelson C. L. Pedrozo

Subject: socksified ftp -> 'Illegal PORT command' from wu-ftpd
X-Openmail-Hops: 1
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Item Subject: cc:Mail Text
Hi all,

I browsed the FAQ and various other resources but didn't find an
answer. Maybe one of you can help me with this problem:

As far as I understand it, we at HP use a circuit level gateway (the
SOCKS package) to reach hosts outside our closed subnet. This usually
works fine; however I do have problems with ftp servers that run the
wu-ftpd program.
I frequently (not always!) get 'Illegal PORT command' messages when I
try to upload files to such servers.

Do you have an explanation for this behaviour ? If so, would you share
it with me ;-) ? Is there a workaround/solution to the problem ?

regards,
Patrick

The wu-ftpd package checks for attempts to make it connect to ports < 1024.
This could be used as trick to hack systems that trust the host wu-ftpd runs
on.

A 'fix' would be to fix SOCKS to allways use ports > 1024 for ftp uploads.

I am putting the finishing touches on the wuftp installation on an AIX 3.2.5
system. I've seen a number of inquiries on correcting the time stamp for
the "ls -l" for Solaris, but nothing for AIX. I had located a file
"/usr/lpp/dcebase/inst_root/etc/zoneinfo" and copied it to a duplicate
structure in /usr under the ~ftp directory with no results. Additionally, I
have noticed the the logging that occurs in the "xferlog" is recording an
erroneous time when transmissions occur. I assume that these are both
related. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks much,

I have compiled Wuftpd without error on Solaris 2.5 with the -DVIRTUAL
and I try to connect to the virtual ftp host and I get the real ftp host,
does anyone have this working on 2.5? (I have added the virtual
section in my /etc/ftpaccess)

The only problems I had with ftpcmd.y under linux were caused by not having yacc on the system.
The build wanted a yacc binary and bison(yacc replacement) did things differently. Making a
copy of the bison binary as yacc caused all kinds of error messages. Finding the actual yacc
binary and installing it solved the problem under linux. Bison also was generating a different
output file name than the subsequent build steps were looking for.

You should check the AIX version of the build. If it needs yacc then be certain that a true
yacc is available.

Hope it helps.

Sounds like you're using either the wu-ftpd2.4 release of the
wu-ftpd2.4-academ release and not one of the newer Beta versions (also
from Academ). Check the FAQ for information on the latest versions.

Before 'build aix', make sure that line 18 of src/config/config.h is:
#undef SETPROCTITLE

Then 'build aix' and you're all set. The latest beta (Academ-v11)
includes this fix (in a different way). Just edit src/pathnames.h,
then 'build aix'.

Try this to solve your problem. I read it last week in the searchable
archives of the mailing list from WUARCHIVE-FTPD. I did it with success.

(The solution is from: Shane Castle [email protected]).

Frequently, the SETPROCTITLE definition causes wu-ftpd to destroy all
environment variables, including the TZ environment variable. If the
TZ environment variable is destroyed then all routines that display
time will use the actual recorded time (GMT) and never convert it to
local time. Before you do the 'build aix' step, undefine SETPROCTITLE
by changing the following line in the src/config/config.aix file from:
#define SETPROCTITLE
to:
#undef SETPROCTITLE

Apparently (at least under Linux) the order of the statements in the
ftpcmd.y are a lot more strict. I know *nothing* about yacc, but what
I did was to take th areas that were causing the errors and
move them below the definitions ... (I know, that's a clumsy way of
saying that, but like I said, I know *nothing* about yacc).

After that, my 'bison -y' worked fine.

Junlei,

I believe the only way to tell if a connection originates from an DNS
served site is to do a reverse query of the IP address and get the
actual host name. If you can't to a reverse query, then your name is
not registered so access would be denied.

But this is just a guess on my part.

I compiled wuftp with the -DVIRTUAL and it compiled without errors on
Solaris 2.5 but it isn't working. Has anyone has success with this?

Hello,

I have recently installed wu-2.4(1) on a Solaris 2.3 box and have been
running it on separate ports for testing. It has not been recognizing
the site command and when I enter "help", it appears to be listing the
commands for the other ftp daemon. Any suggestions on where to start
looking for an answer?

ftpgroups file has: name-ftp:Password:name

ftpaccess file has: private yes

group file has entries for the actual groups

Many thanks.

Patrick,

Have you been doing 'quote help' as opposed to just 'help'? The same
goes for the site command. Try 'quote site' rather than just 'site'.

Hi.. hope someone can help..
I have wu-ftpd 2.4 running fine. I have a user
ID defined as "interim" this ID works just like
an anonymous ftp user except for one thing:

I would like the users password to be a E-mail address
just like anonymous ftp. Right now I have to put in
a password. All the permissions and the chroot are working
fine.

Thanks for any help..

Steve

I don't have a solution to your problem. Rather, I would like to have
your "problem".

We would like to add a user that is like anonymous ftp but requires a
password. In other words, the person can only ftp in and only get files
from that directory and can only move around within that directory (cannot
cd .. to a different disk for example.

Thanks

Jerry,

I believe guestgroup was designed to provide just what
you describe below. See the ftpaccess man page.

I believe "guestgroup" in the ftpaccess file is that for which you are
looking. Typically, we set up an account (in /etc/passwd) which looks like:

limited:*:1000:2001:FTP only account:/home/limited:/bin/false

then, there should be an entry "/etc/group" like:

onlyftp:*:2001

Finally, a line in "ftpaccess" defining the guest group:

guestgroup onlyftp

*Don't* add your personal account (or any account you wish to have
broader access than their own home directory) to the "localftp" group
(in "/etc/group"), or you'll find your FTP abilities similarly
restricted when FTPing into the machine. Hopefully, I haven't
forgotten to mention any of the process. Oh yes, the "/etc/passwd"
entry also disallows shell login with "/bin/false" specified as the
shell (on most UNIXen, you'd need to add "/bin/false" to the
"/etc/shells" file -- in some cases you'd need to create the file
and add the valid shells as well).

My wuftp server is working, but I am having difficulty getting the syslog
information to be logged to a file. I am running on AIX 3.2.5 and have the
following information specified:

in /etc/inetd.conf:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/ftpd ftpd
-l -d

in /etc/syslog.conf:

*.info /var/adm/syslog.ftp

However, the /var/adm/syslog.ftp file is never created and nothing ever
logged. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Susan Malisch

I think you need to add an -a option to the ftpd command and it will
probably work (it only reads the ftpaccess file when this is used).

susan,

not sure about aix, but syslogd normally needs a sigHUP to tell it to reread
its config file and often requires that the log file exist.

Susan,

I believe that syslogd will not create the files so they must be created
manually. And make sure the delimeters for syslog.conf are tabs and
not spaces. And then signal the syslogd to reread the syslog.conf file.
I am not certain what else to recommend.

You were right - I had to create the syslog file. But I also received a
reply reminding me to do an "inetimp" to update the ODM. Although I had
refreshed inetd for the "ftpd -l" entry, I had neglected to update the ODM
database. Thanks for the assistance.

Ditto to the guestgroup suggestion to resolve this request. We just
implemented individual id's with passwords restricted to their own directory

I too ran into this problem. The fix appears to be to make the device /dev/tcp
in the chrooted ftp directory writable by the group that ftp belongs to. I
am unsure at this point what the security issues concerned are.

If anyone has some more insight on that it would be appreciated.

I can connect without a problem if I dont use the ftpaccess file, but
when I use in.ftpd -a I get the following response:

Connected to posh.internext.com.
220 posh FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-11](1) Tue May 14

Login failed.

I am using the example ftpaccess file (not the .heavy).

Why does it work fine w/o using the ftpaccess file? How do I correct this?

The easiest way is to remove or rename /etc/welcome.msg. Then you will
get a simple "version number" message

I am running beta11. I was lead to believe that this version
will not leave hung processes around, yet my system is continuing
to show hung processes that are more than a few days old.

Since the whole ftp upload process seems to be enormously
flakey here, I am beset by many such processes every day.

Do I need more than the following to make killing the hung process
thing work?

I am in a pickle. I had anonymous and real FTP working okay. I then
tried to install tcp wrappers. Now, nobody can ftp to my Linux
box. Can anyone suggest a solution?

In inetd.conf I have the following:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/wu.ftpd -l -a

Telnet works (but only if my in-telnetd can verify the IP address/host
name by reverse lookup.

Is there any way to disable reverse lookup?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have tried several things,
including the fine manual, but I haven't hit on a solution yet.

When you compile tcpd turn off PARANOID= -DPARANOID in the Makefile.

This should disable hostname lookups altogether.

Here is the piece of the Makefile of importance.

Brian Harvell [email protected] <a href="http://www.iNet.net/~harvell/">go</a>

####################################################
# Optional: dealing with host name/address conflicts
#
# By default, the software tries to protect against hosts that claim to
# have someone elses host name. This is relevant for network services
# whose authentication depends on host names, such as rsh and rlogin.
#
# With paranoid mode on, connections will be rejected when the host name
# does not match the host address. Connections will also be rejected when
# the host name is available but cannot be verified.
#
# Comment out the following definition if you want more control over such
# requests. When paranoid mode is off and a host name double check fails,
# the client can be matched with the PARANOID access control pattern.
#
# Paranoid mode implies hostname lookup. In order to disable hostname
# lookups altogether, see the next section.

PARANOID= -DPARANOID

########################################
# Optional: turning off hostname lookups
#
# By default, the software always attempts to look up the client
# hostname. With selective hostname lookups, the client hostname
# lookup is postponed until the name is required by an access control
# rule or by a %letter expansion.
#
# In order to perform selective hostname lookups, disable paranoid
# mode (see previous section) and comment out the following definition.

HOSTNAME= -DALWAYS_HOSTNAME

#############################################
# Optional: Turning on host ADDRESS checking
#
# Optionally, the software tries to protect against hosts that pretend to
# have someone elses host address. This is relevant for network services
# whose authentication depends on host names, such as rsh and rlogin,
# because the network address is used to look up the remote host name.
#
# The protection is effective only when the offending host claims to have
# a network address that lies outside its own network.
#
# My site has been running rlogind and rshd daemons that implement this

#
# This feature cannot be used with SunOS 4.x because of a kernel bug in

I have the logdaemon ftpd, which automatically makes anon incoming files
mode 0044, owner ftp, group daemon, or whatever user/group is defined for
anon logins. Obviously, this has some advantages in preventing an anon ftp
server from being used to pirate software, etc., since the anon login can't
read files it has uploaded, or directories it has created (but everyone else
can).

I can't seem to get this same behavior for the wu-ftpd 2.4, however. When I
try, it creates the file, but then it's unable to write data to it and the
upload fails with a 0 byte file left behind.

Any tips?
