I've just spent the morning going through the xferlog looking at the
passwords supplied on our system for the last month, and find a huge
number that are still set to the defaults mozilla@, WWWuser@ and
Netscape@.

I'm tempted to reject these passwords for anon-ftp as well as any that
I can identify as ftp-mail requests.  IMHO, anybody who wants to get
stuff from us for free can at least configure their software with a
real e-mail address, and I have very strong objections to e-mailing
large files.

Am I just being a crusy old curmudgeon or are there others who would
like to see an option to wu-ftpd to be able to specify invalid
passwords.

On a related note, I see a lot of [email protected] entries.  Is
this some kind of automatic file grabber?

While in general all I want to know is a date and time and what IP someone
came from (that way I can contact the admins at the site with the relevant
info to track someone down), providing garbage information like Netscape and
co. do really bothers me.  Netscape should NOT even given an option to login
with those fake names.  It should disable FTP access until you configure an
e-mail address.

Of course, this brings up the whole issue of how do you prove who someone is.

identd is useless.  You can't rely on any user-provided e-mail address being
correct.  So what do you do?  Require that someone have a Verisign
certificate to login to a server?

While writing this message, I started thinking about requiring digital IDs
to login to anonymous file servers and the more I thought about it the more
I liked the idea.  I took a trip to Verisign and they will be offering Class
1 digital IDs for non-commercial use for _free_.  Class 1 IDs are the lowest
level and don't offer any guarantee that the owner is who they say they are,
but they do sort of "write in stone" that a given user has a given e-mail
address.  That is at least better than what we have now, and since it's free
for non-commercial use, it would become "lowest common denominator" security
and should be good enough for most anonymous FTP access (you could always
require a higher security ID if you want).

The problem would be that you would probably end up serving files via HTTP
rather than FTP as web servers are already designed for this sort of thing.
That's fine by me -- both protocols can do the job just as well, with the
only problem being that it isn't quite as nice to get files via HTTP if
you're stuck in text mode.  What you could do is set up your server so that
certain directories would be wide open, and others would allow anyone in who
could provide a digital ID of whatever level is required (Verisign lists
Class 1 through 4 with 4 being the most secure).

While to some extent I agree, you are being short-sited on the use of web
browsers.  There is no guarantee that the browser user even has an E-mail
address.  It is certainly not a requirement to surf the we.  Or consider a
web browser in a coffee shop, or one in kiosk mode.  The person there may
have an E-mail address but can't reconfigure the browser.

None the less, I think it would be a nice feature to be able to supply a
set of regex's that are matched against an anonymous users' password and
lets the server take some action like denying access, adding additional
privileges, and so forth.

If it is in a coffee shop, just make it the address for the store owner, or
some generic account, etc.  But even then, we're talking about anonymous FTP
access...  how often would a guy at a kiosk be FTP'ing files?

Also note that if a what you want is to restrict access to valid e-mail
addresses, perhaps you don't want people from kiosks logging in to your
FTP server.  People at kiosks are a lot harder to track than home etc.

But then what's the point of not having Mozilla@ or whatever.  I just wanted
to point out that there are times when there just isn't a real E-mail address
associated with a person browsing the web.

Not too often, but consider:

               ftp://ftp.somesite.com/some-product/README

While going through http makes more sense in this case, there are still
sites out there that link into their ftp areas for information.

Realistically though, how often are you using that information to track
a user anyway?  I mean really, its not like it isn't easily forged.
Someone earlier pointed out that they were more interested in the source
address than the user's E-mail address.  I think most people are.

If I'm interested in who the people are, I don't let them use anonymous ftp.
If I *really* care, they also don't get to use reusable passwords.

Where this becomes a particularly interesting feature is that you might
be able to detect a person coming in via a web browser and then "redirect"
them over to the http server.

Personally, at the moment I prefer routing all my file downloads through the
ftp server as it is a single entry and logging point for those downloads and
serves as a lowest common denominator as well.  An issue I'll be looking at
soon is using a web browser to access my ftp server that is using one-time
passwords via SNK, SKey, ...

There are VERY few sites that do that still.  The only case where I know
that sort of thing is done on a regular basis is for a smaller shareware
program, but even then it is more likely to be found on Simtel.Net etc.
which is fronted by a web interface.

I think that since you can't do anything useful with e-mail addresses today
we are forced to look at source addresses.  If we could actually trust
e-mail addresses, maybe we would use them more.

That would be nice.  How could that be implemented in the present FTP server
protocol without breaking too much?

You could just as easily do it the other way -- route all your file downloads
through an HTTP server.  I personally have my system set up so that the FTP
drive is mounted in to the web space so that useres can access it either way.
I figure it is more efficient if the guy is already on the web server to pull
the files from the web server rather than opening up a new FTP connection.

Correct me if I am wrong.  With web browsers, in most cases, providing
the resource hungry anonymous ftp is not only unnecessary, but also
requires a well equipped server.  If most of the tasks that
traditionally are accomplished via anonymous FTP can be done using web
page download, why bother with this issue?  If you want
passwords/email addresses etc, whatever their worth is, setting up a
Basic Auth should do an even better job than fiddling with the FTP
server and protocal itself.

That was sort of my point -- it may be a better idea to just stop offering
anonymous FTP access and put it all out via HTTP.  As I said, we presently
offer our entire FTP space via HTTP as well as anonymous FTP.  We are
starting to look in to only offering it via HTTP, however, to among other
things discourage people from mirroring our site.  I think it is very
possible that within 6 months we might not offer anonymous FTP access at
all.

Given that web servers and clients are already set up to handle things like
digital IDs, I personally thing that it is the better direction to take in
the long run.  That way you can have whatever level of security you like:
real anonymous where only the IP is logged, varying levels of digital ID
security, and possibly include password authentication.

With new servers and clients, you don't even need FTP service for people
to update their web documents (the main use for our FTP server).  Netscape
Gold can sync up its document set with the new Netscape servers without
having to use FTP.  I think when that becomes more available we might not
allow FTP at all except for internal use.

Tell me how to get the /usr/ucb/ftp command to talk to an HTTP server and
I'll agree.  A web browser can talk to both, but FTP clients (WS-FTP, ...)
only talk to ftp server.

Plus, I don't think I've seen an MGET equivalent on a web browser.

Why do you think an ftp server has to be any better equipped than an
http server?  It also doesn't help people that can't use a web browser
and only have FTP client software.

Why would that discourage them?  There are alot of web-mirror programs
out there.  Actually, I think it is easier to mirror a web site than a
FTP site.

I agree that distribution via the web has many advantages and is quite
likely going to take over the duties of the average anonymous ftp server.

If you are running a Netscape server (most people aren't) then that's fine.
And for your site that might be all well and good, but as a general direction
I don't believe so. FTP will be around for some time.

I can't think of anything at Netscape that a guy at a kiosk would want to
FTP, or rather I can't think of anything at Netscape that a kiosk would
let a guy FTP.

That is something that always bothered me about Netscape's site.  They sell
these wonderful web servers and they've got a very good web network going
(very fast etc.) but they serve all their software via FTP, on sites that
are overloaded and half the time you can't even get a connection opened.

I went on to AltaVista to find the number of documents referenced via
FTP and while it may just have been due to the sorts of words I had it
search on, I couldn't find _any_.

I suspect that it is because these engines tend to search only the web
and not FTP servers.  I don't think I've seen any that mention that they
search FTP servers.

I'm thinking of what happens when an FTP client receives an unknown
message?  Would it ignore it or close the connection?

There's no reason why someone couldn't design a more /usr/bin/ftp-like
web browser for accessing file directories.  And plus, there's always
Lynx.

> Plus, I don't think I've seen an MGET equivalent on a web browser.

That's a big reason why I want to put my files up via HTTP only.  I'm
tired of people mirroring/leeching my archives for no good reason.  Can
you come up with a reason why 1 guy keeps pulling 500-1000 MIDI files
per day from my site?

They are likely to get to the download area and hit README's and alike.
You are right though, transferring a file would be silly if even possible.
The kiosk owner might want to disable ftp just to avoid this to begin with.

But you can enter urls and in in the process of searching web pages you
get to ftp:// type urls.

Depends on the client.  The pre-login message has the same effect.

This is true, but there are already perfectly good apps like WS-FTP and
FETCH that people are using.  /usr/ucb/ftp is on my system.  I don't have
to go and get something else.

Sure, inconvenience the masses to stop one person.  Let's say I want to
download both emacs and gcc.  Using HTTP I get to ask for the first,
wait some undetermined amount of time, and then ask for the second.  With
simple ole' ftp, I can login late at night, use MGET, and go to bed.

And again, don't think someone can't automate mirroring or mass copies
from your web server.

Anyway, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree.

It's not.  I (legitimately) mirror a site using a web mirror program and
it is a real pain.  It is VERY slow.  It has to request every document
and then check to see if the document has changed from the one on disk
and then transfer it.  It also works as sort of a tree search -- you
start with the first document, then pull all the documents it references,
then all the documents those documents reference, etc.  Using mirror (via
FTP) is so much easier.

You know as well as I do that as soon as Netscape does something everyone
and their dog will do it too.  It won't be long before every server supports
the page sync etc. capabilities of the Netscape servers.

Evan,

How do you allow everything to be downloaded through HTTP?  When I upload a
binary like a photoshop file and then I make an HTTP reference to it, I
just get gibberish when I click on the link.  How do I make it
automatically download to a file (like FTP does) ?  If I use an ending like
hqx or .zip, it will work, but is there a better way to do this so that
people who haven't mapped these suffixes on their browsers can still
download the file?

Sure.  But then we're talking about FTP'ing files and not doing web
browsing.  If you want to FTP files, you need a computer to FTP them
on to.  If you have a computer to FTP them on to, you likely have a
unique e-mail address (or one of a few) for that computer ie: it is
no longer the kiosk in the mall situation.

> Depends on the client.  The pre-login message has the same effect.

Yes -- but the pre-login message uses the same code type as an existing
one doesn't it?  So the client should recognize what to do with it,
even if it is unanticipated.  What happens if we suddenly add a few
new codes to the FTP servers?  (I don't have the answer but perhaps
one day when I've got some time on my hands I'll hack my FTP server
to start sending out garbage result codes at various places and see
what happens).

Lynx is built in to my system too :-)  (BSDI, and probably any of the
*BSD's have it).  Anyway, there is very little on my site except the
FreeBSD distribution that would be of use to a UNIX user (the FreeBSD
distribution is the one that is making me stop and think about this
because it is only really useful if there is a way to MGET files.)

You could also run a client that supports multiple connections and pull
both files at the same time :-)

I think that probably with HTTP/1.2 where they are supposed to bring
in multiplexed connections, you should be able to just keep clicking
away and download however much you want all concurrently.

It only takes a few people to really screw things up for everyone.  I'm
going to start tracking some of these people and ban them from my FTP
server.  I've already hacked my ls to refuse to do recursive directory
listings to try to discourage mirroring.

No, but it is a lot more trouble.

That's possible :-)  I'm not saying I'm right, it is just one viewpoint
out of many :-)

If that file has a MIME type then the default behaviour for that type
will be used; otherwise the file will just be viewed.  You can get around
this in Netscape by clicking the right mouse button on what you want to
download and hit "Save as...".

Momentary brain lapse :-)  That should have read something like:

I can't think of any good reason.  Netscape HTTP servers are
perfectly capable of serving large files very efficiently.

Thats a function of your browser in the general sense since you can just
tell it to download instead of get & interpret.  With Netscape you hold
the shift key down while following the link.

Apache (http://www.apache.org/) version 1.1 is addressing these issues
I believe.  They are  certainly addressing the "anonymous http" issue.

I said easy, not better or faster.  As long as the http server supports
HTTP 1.0 you can mirror those pages.  With an FTP server you have to parse
out the days from the "dir" or "ls" commands and deal with them.  Output
from a PC's ftpd is often different than that from a UNIX box.  Then what
about mirroring stuff from an AS/400?  Anyway, I think this discussion is
becoming a bit pointless.

Maybe.  Netscape is the leader today, but it's becoming clear that they
may not continue in that position.  And just because Netscape does something
doesn't mean it's good (E.g <blink>) and it doesn't mean it will become part
of the standard.  But yeah, that's a feature I become part of many HTTP
server.  I haven't messed with NS/Gold, but can you "upload" arbitrary files
such as product.zip?

Not at all.  I could register the URL for my company's information with
an ftp:// method.  Never underestimate the stupidity of users, especially
here on the net.

Consider a PC either using ISDN or PPP to surf the web.  While it's likely
they have an E-mail address supplied by their ISP, it certainly is not a
requirement of any sort.  I think we'll see more and more of it.  Especially
if the $500 "internet PC" ever comes to pass.

I'd have to look, but I'm pretty sure it spits the message out then returns
the code for the client to prompt the user for a username.  And, if you are
only doing it when you see something that looks like a web browser, it
really shouldn't matter much.

But in the end, I don't know for sure... just a thought.

Of course they can open on multiple connections and pick up the speed.  :-)

Yup.  For an example, if you find the home page for cgi-lib.pl they have
an example up where you can upload files to it.  Actually, if I recall
you can do it on any Netscape 2+ (it doesn't have to be the gold version).

If you don't want people copying your files, then don't put them up.
Sheesh.  If you have to put the files up, then ban sites that mirror
you.  Like this "1 guy" - apparently you know who he is, so tell him to
blow off.

MGET is very practical for people on a low-bandwidth connection and the
lack of it is the main thing I dislike about Netscape's FTP browser.
Other than that I would use Netscape to browse FTP sites all the time,
simply because it's the easiest thing to use.

[downloading multiple files in the background with HTTP]

That isn't really a protocol issue but a client issue. I've never really
been able to figure out why Web browsers don't download stuff in the
background. On a Unix system it would be trivial to fork() a new process to
do the download, and let the user continue doing whatever he wants, and it's
possible on other OSes too.

But to return to FTP... MGET is really useful especially on slow
connections. (But getting one file whose URL (path) you know is usually
faster with HTTP (especially if the link has lots of packet loss) since you
don't have to send so many commands and read so many result codes (USER,
PASS, SYST, TYPE I, PORT, RETR, establish another connection) before you get
the file.)

Another thing that hasn't been mentioned is REST, i.e. transferring parts of
files. This is really useful sometimes, though it doesn't seem to always
work (I don't recall ever having trouble with a Unix FTP client to a Unix
FTP server, though). I don't think HTTP has an equivalent, though I'm not
sure.

And I've never really understood the same background transfer thing about
FTP clients and servers. The protocol allows them to multiplex; i.e. you can
do a RETR, and continue doing something on the FTP server while transferring
stuff in the background in the data connection (and you can have multiple
data connections transferring stuff). I don't know if wu-ftpd supports this
(I know one small&simple anon-only FTP server does), and I don't know of any
FTP clients that support this... But it's possible. I don't know why people
didn't implement it in the first place.

Umm... Wouldn't a better way to discourage mirroring be to tell the users
(in the welcome banner or directory-specific messages or maybe READMEs) that
you don't want mirrors? If they don't believe you, maybe write a few
READMEs, INDEX files, or some not very useful material of your own,
copyright it, and tell the users that they aren't allowed to put it on other
FTP servers. That would even enable you to sue them for mirroring that
stuff, though you probably won't want to go that far.

Oh, and are you sure they all are mirroring? I don't really know if Web
search engines search ftp:// URLs at all, but if they do, they'd probably
use MGET at least at first...

If you really want to limit it, maybe put a limit on the number of
retrievals per connection? Though that may make the mirrorers get one file
per connection (with ftpget or ncftp (command line), handled with some
script), which is even worse... Maybe slow down the connection after a few
transfers (nice the ftpd process more, or sleep for a few seconds before
acknowledging a RETR, or something like that).

I think this mirroring is more a social problem than a technical one...

And if many people use the mirrors instead of your site directly, it may
actually help your network and server load. And it's a kind of cheap
distributed backup scheme ;). Mirrors hinder logging, yes, but so do FTP
caches (if a cache gets your file, you don't even know how many people got
the file from the cache). I don't think full logging of transfers is really
possible anymore (if it ever was - friends always acted as `caches' or
proxies for each other...).

If logging is really important to you, some sort of kind-of authenticated
scheme where the user has to fill a form (HTTP is useful for this) and read
a notice that says in big letters "Don't give this file to anyone!" :)
before he gets to download the file is probably your best bet. It's not
perfect, but nothing is... And the more difficult you make getting the file
from your site, the more will friends send it to each other directly.

>> And again, don't think someone can't automate mirroring or mass copies

>No, but it is a lot more trouble.

Lynx 2.5 supports it as a command-line option (getting and saving all URLs
that a HTML page references, recursively, with options to limit the
scope)... And there have been separate programs for doing it for a long
time.

But it's really useful sometimes, for example for the many HTTP servers
whose only documentation is on the Web; if you want to read all of it
without waiting for downloading each part, or if you want to print all of
it, it's useful to get it all and read it from the local disk.

Can someone give me an example of the password and group for WU-FTPD?  From
my understanding WU-FTPD will not use the /etc/passwd but its own...  Is
there anything that needs to be done to the /etc/passwd?

Thanks in advance...

Also ftp clients tend to be more robust and effective in my experence
that browsers.  I average almost twice the throughput using a good ftp
client vs. a web browers, which means that the resource hit on the server
will be higher, since the deamons will have to hang around longer.  Also
at least in my case when trying to get a large file from a busy site I
will log into a machine on a fast network and download it from there,
rather than tie up the server (and my phone line) for a longer time,
since I have a much better chance of getting a clean DL from a site on a
T1 or T3 then over a phone line.

Yes but most of them only search http:// references, there are already

Yes, web browsers do it by using multipel connections, you really want
the guy to try open 500-1000 connections at one time, just just write a
script to get time though http, it isn't that hard, and I'm sure there is
simple software to mirror a http tree.

Robert,

It's actually a mime type on the server, which allows for this.

If mime types are set up as in Netscapes servers...Then you just add that as
a mime type. A one line entry to a mime.types file in the server area does
the trick.

I agree with you only conditionally.  Yes, httpd also consumes memory,
but you don't need the forking overhead even if you use NCSA or its
sibiling such as Apache.

However, if you use a multi-threaded httpd such a phttpd or zeus, there
is no way a FTP deamon can beat httpd.  The later requires much less
memory, absolutely no forking overhead.

Again, this depends on the httpd/browser combo that you use.  In general,
I have to agree with you.  Netscape is never as stellar as a good ftp
client.

Dear Mitch,

People who are facinated by Apache often are not aware of this NCSA
derivative is actually very slow and inefficient (it's versatile, all
right).  If you run a multi-threaded web server such as Phttpd for
Solaris or Zeus, you don't have multiple copies of httpd hanging
around, so you don't need as much memory, thus a less equipped server
would do.

On the other hand, unless you have a multi-threaded FTP server (I know
someone in Belgium is working on one), you have to pay the price of
forking, and many instances if the site is busy.

I won't use FTP for data distribution.  Period.  I won't use any
pre-forking HTTPD either. Period again.

I am having compile problems with Solaris 2.5.
Has anyone hints for me to followup ?
my  first set of errors look like this:

Making ftpd.
cc -g -DDEBUG -I.. -I../support -L../support  -c  ftpcmd.c
"ftpcmd.y", line 578: syntax error before or at: )
"/usr/ccs/bin/yaccpar", line 534: cannot recover from previous errors
*** Error code 10
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `ftpcmd.o'


I looked into ftpcmd.c - near line 578 - things look kosher there...
nothing of note on line 578 in "ftpcmd.y" either !! any hints welcome.

Take the -g out!, there is no need to compile it with debug info.

Which compiler are you using? and which version of WU-FTP?

Be sure that it does not points to /usr/ucb/cc, I checked
with Sun's Pro C as well GCC (2.7.2) both worked fine.

Douglas,

  I had this same problem util I linked ls statically. I pulled ftpd-ls off the net and built
it using gcc -static. Now my dir works fine!

permissions for group g_dav) info in directory /ftp/dav with the
following permissions:

# ls -l dav
total 40
d---rwx---   2 ftp      g_dav        512 Jun  3 15:51 ./
dr-xr-xr-x  13 root     root         512 Jun  3 11:58 ../
-rw-rw----   1 dav      g_dav       2022 Jun  3 12:19 tae
-rw-rw----   1 dav      g_dav       2022 Jun  3 12:20 tae1
-rw-rw----   1 dav      g_dav       2022 Jun  3 12:22 tae2


My ftpaccess file contains (among other things):

class   test1   anonymous dabney.cle.ab.com
autogroup g_dav test1
upload  /ftp  /dav              yes     dav       g_dav   0660 nodirs
path-filter  anonymous  /etc/msgs/msg.path ^[-A-Za-z0-9_\.]*$  ^\.  ^-

My group file has an entry for g_dav:

g_dav::28:dav

..and my passwd file has the following entry for ftp:

ftp:x:25:25:Anonymous FTP:/ftp:/bin/false

Once connected from dabney.cle.ab.com, if I execute an ftpwho
on the server, it shows that I'm connected in class "test1",
and if I check the ftpd process that's created, it's gid is 28 (g_dav);
but if I attempt to "cd" into dav, or do an "ls", or access it in any
way, I get a permission denied error.  If I change permissions to
770 on the "dav" directory, it works, but anonymous from anywhere
can write/read from the directory.

It appears that even though the gid of the process is set properly,
the group ownership of the directory and its contents are being
ignored?

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks.

All,

I have looked at the archives for this list and have found some very
interesting things to solve my problem, but none have helped...I think it is
some simple permissions problem....Here goes...

I patched my ftpd with the virtual server patch, compiled and ran it. I
logged into my test server, ftp.checthenet.com. When I log in I get the
correct welcome message...Seems to be in the correct dir. Then when I do a
ls or a dir, I get the line "425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad
file number.". Out of curiosity, I tried CD into upload directory. It
worked. I then tried an ls. It worked. I then tried a dir, while still in
the upload dir, IT WORKED!!!

What is wrong here?? I can't do an ls or a dir from the root ftp dir, but I
can cd into a lower dir and DIR and LS work fine.

Before anyone replies...I followed the instructions in the man pages for
ftpd from solaris and did each one step by step. I checked and double
checked my permissions. Then I tried again....Here is the log of what I did
and what it produced.....

I was having trouble installing wu-ftpd on solaris 2.5.  I got a couple of
suggestions for fixing the problem but here's the one I followed.

Subject: Re: ls works but dir doesn't

You are missing several files from the dev and etc directories.  If you
look at the 2.5 ftpd(1m) man page you should be able to spot them pretty
quickly.  I'm running on a 2.5 system (ftp.cs.arizona.edu), set up
according to the instructions in ftpd(1m), and dir works just fine.

---

This worked almost perfectly, except ftpd(1m) in the directions said one
of the things I was supposed to do was to copy my ld.so to
~ftp/usr/lib/ld.so.

Jun  3 22:44:48 axe unix: ls: Cannot find /usr/lib/ld.so.1

A quick symbolic link fixed this and now everything works.  Thanks!

I'm trying to get ftpconversions working on 2.4.2b11 and Solaris 2.4 and
2.4.  I put the example ftpconversions in /etc and made a symbolic link
from /bin/gzip to my /opt/bin/gzip.  Ftp works fine, but conversions
don't.

ftp> get dummy_test_file.gz
200 PORT command successful.
550 dummy_test_file.gz: No such file OR directory.

Nothing in /var/adm/messages at all.

Is there something else I have to do to get ftpconversions working that
I've missed?  (I read through http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html and
didn't see anything that would help.)

I think it really depends on your needs.  If you aren't getting that many
hits per second, I don't think it makes that big of a deal and the features
will be what you want.

However, note that many large hit count sites run Netscape or Apache.

Dear Mitch,

Hmmm.. even the least powerful server that we run (as a teaser in fact)
gets 190k hits/day.  The rest of our servers in our server array typically
get around 350k hits/day.  They are no jokes already.  The total hits
of our site often exceeds 1 million hits/day too.

> However, note that many large hit count sites run Netscape or Apache.

And they run an array of them, each one gets about a million or so,
which with a moderately equipped Sun SS5 (e.g. 64 MB RAM, two internal
HDs, one external HD, no virtual hosting at all) can easily handle,
assuming mostly static pages, moderate CGI.

Many of these so called large sites (e.g. Netscape) runs the far less
demanding single host configuration web server, which is no big deal by
itself, particularly on generously equipped machines.  Virtual Hosting
many sites on a computer brings the whole thing into a different ball
game.

Just the # of hits doesn't mean everything, it's an important factor,
but there are other factors that taxes the TCP/IP implementation of an
OS very heavily too and must be considered.

Netscape server is a hog, Apache can be one too.  Both are slow.

    Hi there !! :)
    I recently ftp a copy of wu-ftpd-2.4 from
    wuarchive.wustl.edu/packages/, and I tried to compile it under solaris
    2.4 and gcc 2.0.  It gave me tons of the "undeclare" problems.  I'm
    wondering do I have to use cc instead of gcc ?? because the default c
    compiler for the makefile.sol is cc.
    Hear from you soon .. thanks in advance !! :)

I have the same problems, but I am even more screwed because I can't get
gcc to work properly on my machine, and I can't find cc. Can anyone send
me a binary for solaris 2.4?

any help/hints would be greatly appreciated.

Hi gurus ...

I have a problem with wu-ftpd, I follow all the steps
about configuration, but if the anonymous user come into the site
and type "dir" or "ls" the system say:

230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): No such file or directory.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): No such file or directory.

and in the /var/adm/messages are:

Feb 25 13:34:37 solaris unix: ls: Cannot find /usr/lib/ld.so.1
Feb 25 13:35:05 solaris last message repeated 2 times

(The file /usr/lib/ld.so.1 exists in the system, Solaris2.5)
I think that error is about wu-ftpd2.4, but I try with ftpd standar (Unix)
and I have the same problem ... What is my mistake ?

I hope somebody help me.

Thank in advance.

Silvia.

The problem is not wu-ftpd, but that you haven't fully set up your
anonymous ftp directory.  Anonymous ftp performs a chroot to its
given directory and thus looks for /usr/lib/* relative to the new root.

man -s 1m chroot, man -s 2 chroot for more information on that command.

man ftpd   for information on how to set up anonymous ftp in Solaris.
Not the best documentation, but it should get you most of the way there.
I can probably give you some help with troubles related to doing that.

I have seen a few messages around on Solaris 2.5 anonymous ftp, but I
don't recall anything that was definitely a 2.5 problem.

Hi,

I'm using ftp and guestgroup to allow users maintain their public_html directory. Does anyone have experience
with that and can show a example setup, warns about, comments...? Thanks.

However, as you know the cgi-bin can not be accesed by users, but I need some of them able to put in their own
routines.. any idea? Does someone have this problem? I'm using Apache (I think it not possible to have multiple
cgi-bin or local user cgi directory :-?)

Jose

Hello,
I have just downloaded a wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta-11 and tried replacing the
old one. But with beta-11, chroot doesn't seem working for "guests".
I set up a group called ftponly so all users in the group log into
their directory, not being able to see the other directories.
With the old wu-ftpd2.4, it was working fine, but with the 2.4.2,
guest users log into their dicretory but that directory doesn't become
root.
Am I missing something which may need to be done with 2.4.2?
My understanding is that if you want to treat someone as a guest, you
setup a specific group at /etc/group and state in the ftpaccess
guestgroup <group-name>

I use Linux 1.2.13 with my machine.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello,
I'm using wu-ftpd-v2.4,but "chmod" command does not work. When I look into
help after ftpded, I can't find "chmod" command.(I can find "delete" and
"rename"). But Attached Documentation says I can use this command.
And I checked my ftpaccess file, but I can't find any clue.
Could you tell me if there's any preparation for this use?
My wu-ftpd-v2.4 is running on IBM AIX.

Since the commands have to be interpreted by the used ftpclient the
client has to understand the command too.

Otherwise most clients support the 'quote' command so you can type
something like

quote site chmod ...

I didn't check anything else, but this alone might well do it.  Modify as

"master" id who has access to each other. I would like to create a single
"public" directory for common files. Due to security reasons, I have each user
chrooted to his home. I would like to "ln" the public directory under each
user's home. I tried just using symbolic links and FTP was unable to "see" the
files. How can I set this up?

I am running WU-FTPD 2.4.2 Beta 11 on AIX 4.1.4. My current directory tree is
like the following.

                       USER1--~home
                       | | |
                 ------+ | +------PUBLIC
                 |       |
        ~home--USER2    USER3--~home
               |            |
       Link to PUBLIC   Link to PUBLIC

Any suggestions?

Chuck,

You cannot do symbolic links between chroot'd directory's because from
their perspective there is nothing beyond the root to link to.  SunOS
4.1.X has a concept of loopback mounts to facilate this.  They are sort
of like hard links.  Some OS's will even let you do hardlinks directly
using ln.  I recommend you check the mail archives.  I am certain you
will find some information which could solve your problem.

Good luck!
Jim

One thing that I do to make things appear the same to users on the system,
and to ftp users is to make some extra symlinks in the real files system.
That is, 'ln -s ~ftp/pub /pub' will make the /pub directory look the same
in either place (~ftp is the home directory of ftp for those who don't use
ksh, bash, or other reasonable shells).

This doesn't address the problems of multiple chroot ftp directories, but
the essential files for ftp (i.e. in the bin, etc, directories) can be
hard-linked together if the chroot'ed directories are all on the same file
system.  We set up a basic prototype ftp directory structure then copy it
to the destination on the same file system using:

       mkdir destination_directory
       cd prototype_directory
       find . -depth -print | cpio -pdlmv destination_directory

This will create hard links if possible, or create new files if the
hard links cannot be created.

Here's the deal:

I have a funky problem whereby anonymous access is only granted if I
specifically put the guest network name and/or IP address (I haven't figured
out which) in ftpaccess.

Now, I *DO* have a line that reads:

class   anonymouses     anonymous       *

What am I doing wrong?  Why isn't ftpd defaulting to anonymous unless the net
/ node is listed herein as real or guest?

Thanks

Howdy!
       I know the general instructions is to "RTFM the Solaris man page
on ftpd and take it from there" but problem is, guy who originally installed
Solaris later overwrote the man page with wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 11. *grumble*.

       Anybody got a copy of the man page for Solaris 2.4, have pointers
to it somewhere in cyberspace, or the instructions? That would be
*greatly* appreciated... thanks! :)

dan,
 fyi...it is also on the cdrom for solaris...i believe that it is on slice
3 of the cd. it has been a while since i had to dig in their. (slice 3 for

in.ftpd(1M)           Maintenance Commands            in.ftpd(1M)



NAME
    in.ftpd, ftpd - file transfer protocol server

SYNOPSIS
    in.ftpd [ -dl ] [ -t_t_i_m_e_o_u_t ]

DESCRIPTION
    in.ftpd is the Internet File Transfer Protocol (FTP)  server
    process.   The  server  is  invoked  by  the Internet daemon
    inetd(1M) each time a connection to  the  FTP  service  (see
    services(4)) is made.

OPTIONS
    -d           Debugging information is logged to  the  system
                log daemon syslogd(1M).

    -l           Each FTP session is logged to  the  system  log
                daemon syslogd(1M).

     - t_t_i_m_e_o_u_t    Set  the   inactivity   timeout   period   to
                _t_i_m_e_o_u_tseconds.   The FTP server will timeout an
                inactive session after 15 minutes.

 Requests
    The  FTP  server  currently  supports  the   following   FTP
    requests; case is not distinguished.

    ABOR        abort previous command

    ACCT        specify account (ignored)

    ALLO        allocate storage (vacuously)

    APPE        append to a file

    CDUP        change to parent of current working directory

    CWD         change working directory

    DELE        delete a file

    HELP        give help information

    LIST        give list files in a directory (ls -lg)

    MKD         make a directory

    MODE        specify data transfer _m_o_d_e

    NLST        give name list of files in directory (ls)

    NOOP        do nothing



SunOS 5.4           Last change: 18 Oct 1993                    1






in.ftpd(1M)           Maintenance Commands            in.ftpd(1M)



    PASS        specify password

    PASV        prepare for server-to-server transfer

    PORT        specify data connection port

    PWD         print the current working directory

    QUIT        terminate session

    RETR        retrieve a file

    RMD         remove a directory

    RNFR        specify rename-from file name

    RNTO        specify rename-to file name

    STOR        store a file

    STOU        store a file with a unique name

    STRU        specify data transfer _s_t_r_u_c_t_u_r_e

    TYPE        specify data transfer _t_y_p_e

    USER        specify user name

    XCUP        change to parent of current working directory

    XCWD        change working directory

    XMKD        make a directory

    XPWD        print the current working directory

    XRMD        remove a directory

    The remaining FTP requests specified in RFC 959  are  recog-
    nized, but not implemented.

    The FTP server will abort an active file transfer only  when
    the  ABOR  command is preceded by a Telnet Interrupt Process
    (IP) signal and a Telnet Synch signal in the command  Telnet
    stream, as described in RFC 959.

    in.ftpd interprets file names according to the globbing con-
    ventions  used  by  sh(1).  This allows users to utilize the
    metacharacters:  _**** _???? _[[[[ _]]]] _{{{{ _}}}} _~~~~

    in.ftpd authenticates users according to four rules.

in.ftpd(1M)           Maintenance Commands            in.ftpd(1M)



          1)    The user name must be in the password data base,
                /etc/passwd,  and  have  a  password that is not
                null.  A password must always be provided by the
                client  before  any  file operations may be per-
                formed.

          2)    If  the  user   name   appears   in   the   file
                /etc/ftpusers, ftp access is denied.

          3)    ftp access is denied if the user's  shell  (from
                /etc/passwd)   is   not   listed   in  the  file
                /etc/shells.  If the file /etc/shells  does  not
                exist,  then the user's shell must be one of the
                following:

                      /usr/bin/sh  /usr/bin/csh /usr/bin/ksh
                      /usr/bin/jsh /bin/sh      /bin/csh
                      /bin/ksh     /bin/jsh     /sbin/sh
                      /sbin/jsh


          4)    If the user name is  "anonymous"  or  "ftp",  an
                entry  for  the user name _f_t_p must be present in
                the password and shadow files.  The user is then
                allowed  to  log in by specifying any password -
                by convention this is given as the user's e-mail
                address  (such  as  [email protected]).   Do not
                specify a valid shell in the password  entry  of
                the  _f_t_p  user, and do not give it a valid pass-
                word (use NP in the encrypted password field  of
                the shadow file).

    For anonymous ftp users, in.ftpd takes special  measures  to
    restrict  the  client's  access privileges.  The server per-
    forms a chroot(2) command to the home directory of  the  ftp
    user.   In order that system security is not breached, it is
    recommended that the ftp subtree be constructed  with  care;
    the following rules are suggested.


    ~ftp        Make the home directory owned by ftp and unwrit-
                able by anyone.  This directory should not be on
                a file system mounted with the nosuid option.

    ~ftp/bin    Make this directory owned by the super-user  and
                unwritable by anyone.  Make this a symbolic link
                to  ~ftp/usr/bin  The  program  ls(1)  must   be
                present to support the list commands.  This pro-
                gram should have mode 111.

    ~ftp/usr/lib
                Make this directory owned by the super-user  and
                unwritable by anyone.  Copy the following shared
                libraries from /usr/lib into this directory.:

                ld.so*
                libc.so*
                libdl.so*
                libintl.so*

                nss_dns.so*
                nss_files.so*
                straddr.so*


    ~ftp/etc    Make this directory owned by the super-user  and
                unwritable  by  anyone.   Copies  of  the  files
                passwd(4), group(4), and  netconfig(4)  must  be
                present  for  the  ls  command to work properly.
                These files should be mode 444.

    ~ftp/pub    Make this directory mode 777 and owned  by  ftp.
                Users  should  then  place files which are to be
                accessible via the  anonymous  account  in  this
                directory.

    ~ftp/dev    Make this directory owned by the super-user  and
                unwritable  by  anyone.  First perform ls -lL on
                the device files listed below to determine their
                major  and  minor  numbers,  then  use  mknod to
                create them in this directory.

                /dev/zero
                /dev/tcp
                /dev/udp
                /dev/ticotsord


EXAMPLES
    To set up anonymous ftp, add  the  following  entry  to  the
    /etc/passwd file. In this case, /export/ftp was chosen to be
    the anonymous ftp area, and the shell  is  the  non-existant
    file  /nosuchshell.   This prevents users from logging in as
    the ftp user.
        ftp:x:30000:30000:Anonymous FTP:/export/ftp:/nosuchshell
    Add the following entry to /etc/shadow:
        ftp:NP:6445::::::

DIAGNOSTICS
    in.ftpd logs various errors to syslogd, with a facility code
    of daemon.

 Info Severity
    These messages are logged only if the -l flag is specified.

    FTPD: connection from _h_o_s_t at _t_i_m_e
                A connection was made to ftpd from the host _h_o_s_t
                at the date and time _t_i_m_e.

    FTPD: User _u_s_e_r timed out after _t_i_m_e_o_u_t seconds at _t_i_m_e
                The user _u_s_e_r was logged out  because  they  had
                not  entered any commands after _t_i_m_e_o_u_t seconds;
                the logout occurred at the date and time _t_i_m_e.

 Debug Severity
    These messages are logged only if the -d flag is specified.

    FTPD: command: _c_o_m_m_a_n_d
                A command line containing _c_o_m_m_a_n_d was read  from
                the FTP client.

                The FTP client dropped the connection.

    <--- _r_e_p_l_y_c_o_d_e
    <--- _r_e_p_l_y_c_o_d_e-
                A reply was sent to  the  FTP  client  with  the
                reply  code  _r_e_p_l_y_c_o_d_e.  The next message logged
                will include the  message  associated  with  the

NOTES
    The anonymous account is inherently dangerous and should  be
    avoided when possible.

    The server must run as the super-user to create sockets with
    privileged  port numbers.  It maintains an effective user id
    of the logged in user, reverting to the super-user only when
    binding  addresses  to sockets.  The possible security holes
    have been extensively scrutinized, but are  possibly  incom-
    plete.

    /etc/ftpusers contains a list of users who cannot access the
    system; the format of the file is one user name per line.

   Why does wuftpd beta 11 take so long to make a connection?

   There is like a 2 to 3 second delay to connect in.  Earlier
servers never did this.

   Try ftp ftp.lightlink.com

   Then try telnet lightlink.com

   Thanks  Homer

I want to thank all the people that helped!  *Greatly* appreciated.

I will be acquiring a SMP box as a workstation, so hopefully I'll also
acquire some more time to hack at wu-ftpd and submit any patches.

Listers:
I have seup questions re wu-ftp-s.4 running on sloaris 2.5.

basically I want to allow one user to put and one user to get
My company will put files (print-request-output) another company
will get those files to print on their side.

question is:

do I really need all the files mentioned in the ftpaccess file ??
such as .message, welcome.msg etc/shutmsg and so on....
if I do - what is the best means to get examples thereof
if not...then I could (theoretically) write put and get scripts
for each end to just do what they gotta do ...right ?

tw

p.s. I have Solaris2.5 installed, also running Checkpoint Firewall1
and after setting up wu-ftp I can no longer ftp (still seems to be
caught by the authenticating ftpd of firewall1)

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


I've had much trouble with beta 10 and 11 resulting in hung FTP sessions;
they get stuck in some state and just hang forever.  I had no problem with
beta 8, but since then things have gone downhill for me.  I remember that
there was a timeout patch missing from an earlier beta; did that ever make
it into the source tree?

I'm running Linux 1.3.71 plus a few later patches; this release has been
extremely stable for me in all other respects.

Any insight on what is going on would be appreciated.  I've run this thing
over a year without this kind of problem.  If necessary I'll debug the
thing, but it seemed worth asking the list first.  Thanks,

I'm pulling my hair out trying to find the location of
the patches to wuarchive-ftpd 2.4. I thought that they had
reached 21 or 24 in number but maybe that was 2.3. I know
that at least 3 exist for 2.4 from looking at the greetings
on a number of popular ftp sites.

The ftp.wustl.edu site contains only the unpatched 2.4 version.
The ftp.academ.com site seems to contain the unpatched 2.4
version and the latest beta version of 2.4.2 (beta11). Given
some of the timeout problems reported with 2.4.2b11, I'd
may be happy to install 2.4 patch level 3 until Stan Barber
releases a non-beta 2.4.2. (Thanks for your work on this project,
Stan.)

   My own system sunning SunOS 4.1.4 Sparc 20 leaves hanging
ftp's all day long.  They hang any time a process fails or even
is canceled by the user.  We have lots of ftp uploads going on,
many of which fail for various reasons not related to ftp (I don't
think), and all of these get left as hung processes.  I have been
letting this continue, because it helps me see who is having
hung processes, but just today I had to increase the limit to
100 from 20 because you get some new customer who just persists
until hes in tears about it trying to get something uploaded,
and it fills the queue, and then no one can get on.

       If you want to try it, Ihave a copy of beta9 sitting at

       http://www.ki.net/pub/users/scrappy/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-9.tar.gz

       I had a problem with beta11 also that I haven't had time to
debug, so am running beta9 right now with no prblems...

Could anyone give me the low-down on the use of SUNOS's
use of loopback mounts to get around the chroot problem
you have when you want several of your guest users to
access the SAME directory's contents.  Is there a FAQ?

I have SUNOSv 4.1.4 and wuftp v.2.4

Thanks in advance for your help.

We're using Linux 1.3.76 with BETA9 (if I remember correctly) on one system.

There we made a patch, resembling (but not equal to) an old Debian patch.
Without this patch, processes could hang forever, together using all
the CPU time they could get.

Now, some processes still seem to hang forever, but they aren't eating
CPU time anymore.

If anyone is interested, I can send the patch to this list (maybe I
already did in the past, which I don't remember anymore).

So, I'm also interested in the one-and-only patch that makes WU-FTPD
run correctly on Linux.

Jeff,

A loop back mount is sort of a hard link which works
across different filesystems.  I would recommend doing
a man on lofs (loopback file system).  That is how I
found out about it.  We use it to link an already mounted
file system into one of our anonymous ftp directories.  This
was done when we discovered symbolic links would not work.

We have an almost identical requirement for our clients, with the
additional requirement that files placed in the "public" area were
accessible to all clients *and* to anonymous users.

What I did was set up a "guest" area, which was the home for the
anonymous user and the client users.  The clients however are placed
in a subdirectory two levels below the home.  For example:

[from passwd]
client1:[...]:/home/guest/./clients/client1:/bin/ftponly

[sample tree]
~guest/
~guest/public
~guest/incoming
~guest/clients
~guest/clients/client1
~guest/clients/client1/public [-> ~/guest/public]
~guest/clients/client1/incoming
~guest/clients/client2
~guest/clients/client2/public [-> ~/guest/public]
~guest/clients/client2/incoming

Access to the various directories is controlled by guest access, which
means that the anonymous user can not change to (or search) the
clients directory and the clients can not access each others
directories.  Note that each client has their own incoming directory,
I did this to give our clients a bit more control over what they can
upload.  For example most can make directories and delete files from
their incoming directory.  This is definitely NOT allowed for the
"public" incoming directory "~guest/incoming".

Staff members have access to all the directories, usualy controled
through group acccess, except in a couple of cases where user access
is used.

In general we have found the system to work well, the only downsides
being that every client belongs to at least two groups, and every
client can see the the directory name of all other clients (as they
have search rights to ~/guests/clients/).  In our case it is not a
problem that the clients know who some of our other clients are - but
there is no law that says the directory name must be the same as the
clients.


Regards,
Keith.

Does anyone have patches for wu-ftpd so that cd will work
"intuitively" on filesystems with links?

Say I have a directory /pub/dir that is a link to /1/path/to/dir.
When the user changes in to /pub/dir, they see /1/path/to/dir just
fine.  When they cd .., however, they end up in /1/path/to instead
of /pub.

Hi,

I've used some patches that were listed in some of these emails that allows
me to modify the FTP access file so that when a user uploads something, the
uploads will be owned by another group or user.  Unfortunately, since I
installed those patches ( not part of the official wu-ftpd stuff, mind you)
things have been going berserk.  For instance, sometimes, my users won't be
able to create directories in their own accounts, even though they used to
be able to do so. In addition, sometimes when directories are uploaded,
they don't get uploaded with the right permissions, .i.e.,a user uploads a
directory and it gets owned by some random user on my system.  That bizarre
thing only happens for directories though -files are still owned by the
right user.

I don't know if it was the patches that I installed that are causing these
problems.  I do know that installing the patches was the last thing I did
before these problems started arising.  In any event, I'm uninstalling the
patches and waiting for the next official revision of wu-ftpd.

When is the next release going to allow a user to upload files as some
other user or group?

I made up a set of patches that I forwarded to the academ people
but never got a response on them.  My patches work just fine with
beta 11.

Note that I had a problem with making directories that looks to
be due to something new in beta 10/11.  In dir_check (extensions.c)
there was a note about changing a && to || on the recommendation
of CERT.  I believe that change breaks the upload dirs/nodirs option
in ftpaccess.  I haven't had time to prove this -- I was trying to
counter a hack attack at the time -- but changing it back to the way
it was seemed to do the trick.  The patches include this fix.

Here are my patches to beta 11.  What they do is they set the owner
and/or group of uploaded files to the owner and/or group of the
directory they are being uploaded in to.  On the upload line in
ftpaccess, set the owner to ":user:" and the group to ":group:"
(without quotes.) I have only tested this in BSDI BSD/OS 2.0 and
2.1, where it works flawlessly.  The only forseeable problem is
that I used INT_MAX in my implementation; you could define this
to any sufficiently large value (anything > 64K would be fine
for most systems).  The point was to choose a value that no one
would use.  AFAIK only 4.4BSD systems have 32 bit user/group
numbers, and I can't think of many people who would create a
uid/gid of 2147483647 :-)

I hope the patches work OK.  I was in a rush to make them as I'm
already late for work :-).  There seem to be some very long lines
so hopefully my editor won't wrap them.  I also attached the patch
at the end in MIME format just in case.

I remember hearing the answer from a friend.
But now that another friend is asking...
I can't remember any details.

Hello:  I keep getting the same error compiling wu_ftp 2.4.2 beta 11 under
linux 1.3.100 with latest libs, etc...

Can anyone tell me the fix, I wouldn't even bother upgrading, but since
moving to shadow (for some odd reason) new users can't login...

Here is the error output from the compile on ftpd all other programs
compiled fine.

glob.c: In function `matchdir':
glob.c:284: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
make: *** [glob.o] Error 1
size: bin/ftpd: No such file or directory

Thanks,

Ryan

Easy fix:

Define DIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS

(or is that ILLEGAL_DIRENT_ACCESS) ?

someplace where glob.c can find it :)

Everyone who uses linux and can't get wu-ftp-2.4.2 to compile:

Grab

 ftp://ftp.binary9.net/nicholas/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11-linux.tar.gz

This has been patched and fixed to work under

  Linux 1.3.78+ (Upto 2.0)    [ yeah!!! ]
  libc 5.3.12
  shadow passwords (3.3.1, I think)

the distribution includes the binaries.

Thanks, that solved the problem, now on to the next thing, after
installing it, it does not display the welcome.msg file any longer.  I
checked and it was compiled with USE_ETC and I have not moved my
ftpaccess, can anyone tell me what might be the problem?

Thanks.

Are you running the beta 11?  If so make sure you start the ftpd with =
the -a=20
option.  If you don't it won;t read the ftpaccess file which tells it=20
where to find the messages.

Hello,

I am trying to ehnhance security
on my ftp site, by using the "upload"
control in the "ftpaccess" file.

My goal is that once a file has been uploaded
to the server, I want it to be "owned" by a particular
user and being group other.

So I put this line in the "ftpaccess" file
but it doesn't seem to work properly.


upload  /pub/incoming   pdb_depot       yes     "special_user_name"      other   0600

(but the rest of the stuff in "ftpaccess" works properly!)

Thanks in advance
Daniel

I'm not sure what your absolute paths are, but make the second parameter
(the one after the "upload") the absolute path to the ftp home directory.
Make the third parameter the relative path within that directory.  An
example is below.  Use the nodirs, also.

upload  /home/ftp/  /incoming    yes  user_name  group_name  0400 nodirs

I am running beta 11...  In inetd.conf I appeneded the -a to the end of
the wu.ftpd entry.  Now, when you connect to it, it just says connected
and sits there, after a while, it says 500 Connection timed out, please
try again later and closes.  What am I doing wrong now?

Thanks.

Hello there,
I haven't been able to figure out what is wrong with my virtual wu-ftpd. I just upgraded to 2.4.2 beta 11 and set up virtual domain as described in man page. When I anonymous ftp from the machine where the virtual domain resides, it works fine. But from the machine on the LAN, after entered "anonymous" for ID (it says "Guest login OK") and email address for PW, I got "Connection closed by remote host." message.

Can anyone give me a clue to fix this?
Any response would be greatly apprecated.

Here is some info. on my system, should it be relevant.

OS: Linux 1.2.13 with IP alias patch.
I host some virtual WWW and it works just fine.
I use IP alias approach as opposed to dummy interface described in ftpd man page.
The machine I use on LAN for testing is win95.
I host some virtual WWW and it works just fine.

ing
problem:
when I put an entry in /etc/passwd like
user:x:1111:33333:User 1:/home/./user:/someshell
The message
331 Password required for user.
Password:
230-No directory! Logging in with home=3D/

Try 'touch'-ing /var/adm/syslog.ftp.  Some syslogd's are picky about
writing to files that aren't already there.  I first noticed this problem
when rotating logs...took a bit to figure out.

Are you using -DVIRTUAL to compile ftpd?

Hello there,

Some users are using ftp from a PC with an IP dynamic adress (via DHCP)
to transfer some very big file. Is there any way to identify the user
and the host where he's connected ?

Thanks

Thierry

Only if the DHCP server logs which PC (ethernetaddress) got which IP
address for the host, and then logs of who was logged in there for the user.

Very shaky grounds, any single failure will have you pointing fingers at
the wrong person.

Anonymous ftp is really anonymous.. entering the correct e-mail address is
only courtesy.

but I don't automatic message for my directory

       I'm trying to install wu-ftpd 2.4.1 under AIX 4.1.3 but the system

       Does anyone has any hint? Should I get some patch to solve this problem?
       I've followed all the installation steps but it isn't working.

Are there any patches for the current versions of wu-ftpd to support s/key
one time passwords?

Um ... don't you just put a .message file in the directory?  I thought
ftp clients always displayed that file when you cd'd into a directory.

I edited src/makefiles/Makefile.lnx and added -DVIRTUAL so it looks like:
...
CFLAGS = -DVIRTUAL -O2 -fomit-frame-pointers ${IFLAGS} ${LFLAGS}
...

and did

build lnx

When I compiled it, I got a message several times saying

config.h 31: warning: 'VIRTUAL' redefined

I guess I am doing something wrong here. Could anybody tell me the correct way to compile wu-ftpd with virtual ftp support?

Thank you in advance.

        4. I need to use S/KEY authorisation

           Michael Brennen ([email protected]) wrote on the list:

The general SKEY procedure is something like this:

The last thing in config.h is an #undef SKEY; comment that out.  That is
a gotcha that can take some time to find, although that doesn't seem to
be the problem.

Copy skey.h into the src directory.

Copy libskey.a into the support directory.

Edit the appropriate Makefile.* in src/makefiles and add the following:
  add "-DSKEY" to the CFLAGS macro;
  add "-lskey" to the LIBES macro.

That should do it; if not, holler back.

But wouldn't they still be using up memory/swap space?  (unless, of
course, they were defunct...)  That's the main problem we have here at
wuarchive (even with beta 11), is our swap space getting eaten up (not to
mention tying up usable slots out of the 200 limit...)

/etc/ftponly *should not exist*!  That is the whole point, and it is
explained in the guest howto.  Put that entry in /etc/shells, but do not
create the file.  That way it cannot be used in any way to log in.

Hello!

Is am having problems compiling wu-ftpd (2.4). My environment is a Sun
Ultra 170 with Solaris 2.5. I am
compiling using the following syntax:

build sol

The result of this is:

Rick,

  It appears that you are using /usr/ucb/cc instead of the
`real' solaris compiler, /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc - do you have this???

If not you will probably have to get some sort of binary distribution of
GCC...

hope this helps you out,
regards Michael...

what should the syntax of /etc/pathmsg look like.
I have coppied the "general" instructions gleaned
from your email re: ftpaccess file - added the /./ entry for the new
root... but still I get :
gryphon(twhite)% ftp bsf1
Connected to bsf1.
220 bsf1 FTP server (Version wu-2.4(1) Fri Jun 7 08:43:32 EDT 1996) ready.
Name (bsf1:twhite): ftponly
530 User ftponly access denied.
Login failed.
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.
gryphon(twhite)%
so I am going over all possible config files ..
I don't think pathmsg is causing the problem
but I don't have one or an example

thanks in advance

Hello Rick

I encountered similar problems while compiling this version
of wu-ftp on solaris 2.5

With the version  wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11 everything compiled just fine
you can find it at his address:
ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11.tar.Z

I am still hacking away at getting wu-ftpd to accept my attempts.
I have been looking through this and that notes.
Do I need to be using virtual ftp service ??
Is it even possible for me to use it ???
I am running Solaris 2.5 on a sparc5 - thanks in advance

We just installed wuftpd on a Sparc20 running Solaris 2.5.  At some random
time during an ftp session the system gets a system panic, displays the
following error message, and reboots.

panic: lm_get_me: ticlts.....

       The following appears in the /var/adm/messages file:

What do we need to change?

Judy,

We this this same problem when we upgraded to Sol 2.5.  This OS has different
major/minor numbers for the loop back devices.  Check what you have in
your dev directory of the chrooted ftp area against what is in
/devices/pseudo/tl@0@tic*.

Hope that helps,
Sarah

Be sure that your daemon directory is on a local disk, flock triggers a

hi Folks

can someone help me to create the ~ftp/dev directory

i has almost all configurated my ftpd, but when i trying the ftp
using the user and passwd of the a ftp client and make a 'dir' command
the message is the next:

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


i think that is for the dev directory...


my ~ftp/dev directory in anonymous  is

dev:
crw-r--r--  1 root     sys       11,  42 Aug 11  1994 tcp
crw-r--r--  1 root     sys      105,   1 Aug 11  1994 ticotsord

This is the way I compiled wu-ftpd w/ Virtual support and seems something wrong.

I edited src/makefiles/Makefile.lnx and added -DVIRTUAL so it looks like:
...
CFLAGS = -DVIRTUAL -O2 -fomit-frame-pointers ${IFLAGS} ${LFLAGS}
...

and did

build lnx

While compiling, I got a message several times saying

config.h 31: warning: 'VIRTUAL' redefined

I guess I am doing something wrong here. Could anybody tell me the correct way to compile wu-ftpd with virtual ftp support?

Thank you in advance.

Sounds like it. What you need to do is look up the majors and minors in the
current version of the system /dev dir.

It looks like you run Solaris and have upgraded your Solaris version since
the install of ftp services.

Do an ls -lL /dev/tcp /dev/udp /dev/ticotsord /dev/zero

Hi,

       I am able to install wu-ftp fine..except when I do an ls
.what I get is just the id number of the user.  I have installed
wu-ftp on a solaris 2.5 machine.  I have check through my work and
believe the passwd and shadow are in the right place.  Does anyone
else have this problem?  Please reply via e-mail at [email protected]

Thanks,
Thomas

This is covered in the guest howto.  Set up the /bin/ls program and
appropriate dynamic libraries as needed, and it should work.

This was indeed the problem.  Once I switched to the correct CC in
/opt/SUNWspro/bin, the problem disappeared.

Many thanks for everyone's help!

Rick,

  It appears that you are using /usr/ucb/cc instead of the
`real' solaris compiler, /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc - do you have this???

If not you will probably have to get some sort of binary distribution of
GCC...

hope this helps you out,
regards Michael...

Hi,
who can send me a static linked ls for a SOLARIS 2.5.

The ls workes fine on wu-ftpd, but the ls -la need about 30sec. for an empty
directory to show. If the directory has manny entries in needs minutes...

Hello All,

       I have recently gotten WU-ftpd running on a solaris 2.5
machine running two virtual servers.  Atthis point I can
successfully connect to the machine at both addresses as a real
user, but I get an "Anonymous access denied" when I try to log in
as anonymous.

Here's a copy of my ftpaccess file..  any pointers would be greatly
appreciated.

Hello all,

My ls command does not display any values when invoked at the prompt, the
following message is seen:

200 PORT COMMAND SUCCESSFUL
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete

just wondering if any one's had a similar experience. I have a read-only
execute all copy of ls in ~ftp/bin

Thanks in advance,
Pete

You don't say what version of SCO you're running, but you will need to
have a ~ftp/shlib directory for the shared libraries.  On our SCO
systems this contains only libc_s.
       /ftp/shlib
       /ftp/shlib/libc_s

I have gotten no answers to my inquiries re: access denied.
I have checked through my files to see that configs are correct...
as close as I can tell from the convoluted arcane reasoning of the ftpaccess man page - I have things right (or close)

but still access denied...
so I am trying 2.4.2beta-11 but when I try to compile a static version
by editing two makefiles (sfrc/Makefile and support/Makefile
replace -DDDEBUG with -Bstatic (or even use both) I get the following:

       You've created a user "ftp" and set its shell to /bin/true?
       /bin/true exists in /etc/shells?

We are running a couple of virtual servers here via wu-ftpd.
Our goal is to have anonymous ftp access to the multiple virtual ftp
servers, but we would like to limit the domain which has access
to each of these virtual servers.
       i.e. we have server A and B running virtually on the same machine.  We
would like all of the users in 1.2.3.x  to be able to access A
anonymously (but not B) and all of the users in 1.2.4.x to be able to
access B anonymously (But not A).
       Currently, using Classes, we have classified each of the groups into
group1 and group2, now we would ideally just like to deny group2 from
getting into AServer A and deny group1 from getting into server B.
       I would just like to know if this is possible, and how would
one go about doing this.


Thanks,
T. Kiehl,  GE CR&D

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

We're running version 2.4 under SunOS.  Occasionally, one of our FTP users
will have a line drop on them in the middle of a transfer.  This can leave a
zombie session taking up a user slot.

Is there any automated way to detect and eliminate these zombie sessions?

Please feel free to e-mail me directly.

Thanks in advance.

Before fellow wu-ftpd admins wasting any time on my previous post
I better get this out.

It was my own mistake, but I didn't realize it until I quit testing
very early this morning (3:30 AM)

The problem was caused by a silly mistake :-( When I created a test
account in the wu-ftpd's sense of a real user, I accidentally assigned
a gid of guest user (i.e. these with chrooted environ after login) to
the "real" user account.  That messed things up.  I became suspicious
about this possibility after turning off the -a switch in the
/etc/inetd.conf and hupped inetd.  I knew then wu-ftpd wouldn't check
the /etc/ftpaccess file.

I must admit that last night, before the testing, I had some beer  :)

Chin Fang

Mime-Version: 1.0

I have the following entry in my "ftpaccess" file:

path-filter anonymous,guest,real msgs/filename.err ^[-A-Za-z0-9._]*$ ^[-._]

Although the path-filter seems to work ( a user cannot upload a file that
begins with a ., _,  or -, the detailed message in "msgs/filename.err" does
not print.  They do receive this message:

553 _juke: Permission denied. (Filename (deny))

Originally, I had the "msgs" directory in a directory structure outside of
the ftp hierarchy.  However, I moved this directory inside the ftp hierarchy
and got it to work four or five times.  Now I am back to receiving only the
generic message above and it ignores my message file.  Does anyone have any
ideas on what I might be missing?

Thanks,
Susan Malisch

Hi there,
one question:
I have installed wu-2.4(10). How can I use the command "quote site exec
index ..." here? Which steps are necessary to create an indexfile?

Has anyone experienced problems under Solaris 2.x.  The one I'm getting
is every user is denied access to the server accept anonymous and it
appears that the server isn't reading the password file correctly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Steve,
have you defined a class-type calld "real" in your ftpaccess file?
here's an example:
#class          classname       classtype       address
class          remote          real,anonymous  *

by this line, the daemon decides, to execute a chroot() or not. By this
decision it depends, which passwd file it reads (/etc/passwd or
/ftp/etc/passwd)
Hope, this helps...

Regards,
Juergen

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have defined real in as part of the class.  The interesting thing is
that while under the anonymous login, no use or group names are shown,
just uid and gid numbers.

Thanks,

Steve

Hello all,

I am running wu-ftpd 2.4 on a DEC alpha running Digital Unix.  I am trying to create an ftp directory hierarchy that allows any users logging in within my domain as anonymous to access all of the files, but for someone who is loggin in from outside of my
domain as anonymous to be restricted to a specific part of the tree.
I would like to do this without having to add all of the users to another group.  Can this be done?

Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

I have created a "guestgroup" in my ftpaccess file for which I would like to
specify some upload restrictions.  However, I read somewhere that this entry
only applies to the "anonymous" login.  I was hoping that since these users
were functioning as pseudo-anonymous users as part of the "guestgroup"
specification, that I would also be able to dictate upload restrictions for
their directories.  Does anyone know how, or if, this can be done?

Thanks,

I have set up wu-ftpd on a Solaris 2.4 unix system and it runs great!
Now my department chief wants to stop access to certain directories by our
real and guest users.

I have over 4,000 users attached to 35 different groups who need to
access their home directories via wu-ftpd for upload and download of
files. The user home directories Bare spread across four different hard
drives.

I need the ability to block access to certain commercial directories which
reside on the same mount points as the user's home directories.

Have any suggestions?

To Rodrigo Donoso, one and all,

I now have the answer to this problem, so thanks all who supplied hints,
tips etc.

Rigo, try this matey!

mkdir ~ftp/lib
cd lib
cp /lib/libprot.so.1 .
chmod 555 lib*
chown bin lib*

I hope this works for you (I assume you have two files in ~ftp/usr/lib,
namely libc.so.1 and libsocket.so.1)
If this bit does not work, contact me directly and I will send you a full
list of the commands,
Cheers
Pete

All,

I have an issue that I would like to find out about.

I was under the impression from the docs on wu-ftp 2.4 that with a
patch(which I have installed) you could set up Virtual FTP servers. I tried
and spent long hours trying to get that to work.

I recompiled a dozen or more times, I read the archives for the list and
tracked down the problem with DIR and LS. Then when I thought I had
everthing in order...I applied the patch for virtual servers, and added the
appropriate lines to the ftpaccess file. The server seemed to work until I
tried to LS and DIR. I got the message "425: can't connect (0,0,0,0, 20) "
or something to that effect.

So I thought I still had a problem with DIR and LS...I worked some more.
Still nothing.

After many hours I tried a desperate move... I mirrored the directory
structure of my real server, in the virtual servers directory....EVERYTHING
WORKED! Not what I was expecting.

One would sumise that a virtual server would be able to share all the
libraries and other needed files with symbolic links...NOT SO. This means
that in order to have a virtual server I have to use 8 megabytes of storage
space just to create the virtual ftp.

Is this normal?? If so, why isn't it documented? If not, how do I get around
this issue.

I am running a Sparc 10 single processor with 128 meg of ram, 4 gigs of disk
space, Solaris 2.5, and wu-ftpd 2.4 beta 9.

Can anyone shed any light?

Jon,

Hi, I haven't seen any follow-ups to your question, and I was wondering
if anyone has came up with any solutions regarding the zombie processes?

I am running wu-ftpd under Solaris 2.4, and I'll been killing a lot of
zombies lately.

Any hints?

Dave

Subject: upload ownership and modes problem
Content-Type: text
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here, uploaded files are
owned by ftp mode 664, instead of the ownership I thought I specified,
mode 600 -

Here is the entry from /etc/ftpaccess:

upload /usr/spool/ftp   /pub/foo/incoming      yes     foo    foo    0600

where foo is a valid account on the system in /etc/passwd

I also tried creating a dummy entry in the ftp/etc/passwd thinking
that maybe the daemon needed to see it there:

foo:*:2200:100::/var/spool/ftp:/bin/false

but that didn't help.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I'm getting the following message when I use the 'ls' command, logged on as
'anonymous':

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

System configuration is Solaris 2.4 on a Sun Sparc, with wu-ftpd 2.4.  All I
have in my ~ftp/dev directory is the 'zero' device, created with the command:
       mknod zero c 3 12

Am I missing something in this ~ftp/dev directory?  When I log in as any
other (non-anonymous) user, the 'ls' command works fine. I assume this is
because I'm using the regular /dev directory, rather than the ~ftp/dev
directory.

I am grateful for any help.

Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

I am in the process of attempting to setup individual
user's anonymous ftp directories within their own
accounts.  That is have ~user/ftp that is an anonymous
ftp point.  I had thought about doing this by mounting
the user drives read only under ~ftp.  However, I have
two questions.  1)  How would I get ~user to work rather
than /users/blah/blah/user?  2)  Exactly how big of a
security hole is it to have all of the users directories
mounted under ~ftp mode 700?  The only users that will
be 755 will be those who have the ~user/ftp directories
in their accounts.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

  I'm not sure I'm subscribed to the list yet, so please direct all
replies to [email protected], and I'll summarize if there's any
interest...

  I'd like to be able to restrict access to certain directories to only
certain users, without setting up accounts for them in /etc/passwd. It
seemed to me that if I set up a group in ftpgroups and /etc/group,
and made the directory only readable, writable and executable by only
this group, that people could log in anonymously, do something like:
  quote SITE GROUP punkinhds
  quote SITE GPASS punkinpwd
and then have access to the directory in question.

  This should work, right?  How would you do this if you didn't use
ftpgroup?

  I've set this up, and the two SITE commands appear to work (I get an
error if I give it the wrong password, and it says "Group access enabled."
when I give it a good password).  But I'm still unable to access the
directory.

  I've got an entry in ftpgroups that looks like this:
punkinhds:<encrypted junk>:punkinhds

  and /etc/group has an entry like:
punkinhds:<same encrypted junk>:1000:

  The directory permissions look like:
d---rwx---   root  punkinhds    <today's date>    punkinhds

  I don't think it's a UNIX permission problem because I can telnet in to
the same machine and do a newgrp command, enter the right password, and
*then* access the directory.  But obviously I don't want all of the
punkinhds group to be able to telnet in (grin).

  What am I missing??  Any suggestions welcome...

OK, here goes.  I have this funny feeling that my /etc/ftpaccess
file is not being read.  I know it's where it's supposed to be (ckconfig
says so).

1.  No .msg's appear upon login or any banner's either for that matter.
2.  The xferlog logs nothing.
3.  When I ftp to a virtual domain anonymously, it doesn't go to
   the correct ftp dir specified in the ftpaccess file.  It goes
   to the generic ftp dir.
4.  password restrictions don't kick in for anonymous user.
5.  ls -al still complains about the libraries for the anonymous
   user, but not a reg. user.  I've compiled ls in the bin dir
   and copied the needed libs according to truss.
   Hence, when I try:
               chroot ~ftp /bin/ls
   I get:      Killed

Any clues out there?  I'm running Solaris 2.5, wu-ftp-2.4.2-beta-11.
I've got the FAQ for wu-ftp memorized, too bad most of it doesn't apply
b/c I'm running 2.4.2-beta-11.

Thanks,
N

Hi!,

I've compiled wu-ftpd 2.4 on Solrais 2.5 with gcc2.7.2.  It works
well on this OS expect it does't show the information of ftp users when I
excute last command.

I've checked my src/pathnames.h file, all path in that file are
correct.  And I also check the information generated by syslogd but it is
nothing about this.

Please help me how to solve this problem.

I found out that there *were* some files missing in my ~ftp/dev directory:

       tcp, ticotsord, and udp

I ran the script outlined in the Solaris *2.5* ftpd man page (NOT Solaris
2.4 or below man pages because they are wrong), and everything works great now.

I hope this can help some other people.

Subject: install wu-ftpd2.4 on Solaris
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN




i tried to install WU-ftpd 2.4 on Solaris 2.5 using gcc 2.7.2.

there is no problem compiling the source (build sol).  though
i couldn't do "build install", i simply copied the executables
and manpages to the root directory manully. so no problem here
either.

the problem is that i couldn't run ftpd. here is a session:

--------------------------cut-----------------------------------
# ./ftpd -l
220 linkage FTP server (Version wu-2.4(4) Thu Jun 20 20:25:53 EDT 1996) ready.
221 Server shutting down.  Goodbye.
--------------------------cut-----------------------------------

the error message produced by syslog is:

ftpd[3581]: setsockopt (SO_OOBINLINE): Invalid argument
ftpd[3581]: fcntl F_SETOWN: Invalid argument


i don't understand this error message.. anything related
to Solaris? (i did install wu-ftpd on SunOS fine)? or
anything related to the use of gcc (i don't have cc at
the moment...)


thanks for the help!

Yeah, ain't it a bitch?  That's why ls wasn't working - no shared libs.
Symlinks are meaningless when they point outside the chroot environment.

You don't.  That's how it works.  It's not really a "virtual" ftp server in
the same way the WWW servers work.  It just picks up its new chroot dir
based on the IP used to connect to it.  After that, it's exactly like a
single ftp server - chroot and dev/ and lib/ all are there, just as with a
single server.  They all have to have their own chroot environment.

Nope, you picked up on the "catch 22" just fine.  TANSTAAFL.

Doesn't seem that anything I place in pathnames.h is honored.  Regardless,
it insists upon searching /etc for ftpuser and other files, even though
I explicity defined them as /usr/local/etc in src/pathnames.h.  Anyone know
what the problem is?

Could someone enlighten me on increasing my ftp performance?
I have a sparc 20 with 96 megs of RAM running 2.4. BETA 11 WU-FTP.
What do I need to tune to increase responce for ftp users?  When they
connect to my machine it 1) kills my machine 2) is very slow for them.

  I had to have tcp in my dev directory also! I also had to use a statically
linked ls in order for 'ls -l' to work! Look for ftp-ls on the web. You can get
it at ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/local/src/ftpd-ls.tar.gz. Good luck!

yep, you'll need a tcp dev too.
It should be something like:

crw-r--r--   1 root     misc      11, 42 Jun 15 00:21 tcp

Seems like a very straightforward problem to me.  Setting different
directory and file ownership as well as setting proper permissions on the
commercial directories should keep others out.  Have I missed something?

Current versions of wu-ftpd require the -a option to get it to read the
ftpaccess file.  Here's our inetd.conf for ftp (we use tcp_wrappers in
addition to the ftpd to control and monitor access).

ftp     stream tcp nowait NOLUID /usr/local/etc/tcpd /usr/local/etc/ftpd -a -l -L

This is from a SCO system so the NOLUID is probably SCO-specific.

did you add -s to the inetd.conf to tell the in.ftpd to read your =

Stan,

I thought you might be interested in this... for some reason, regardless
of what I place in src/pathnames.h, the code insists upon looking in /etc
for the default location of ftpusers, and related files.

I'm using gcc-2.7.2 on Solaris-2.4.  I've even trimmed down the #ifdef's in
the file, to no avail.  Can figure out why this is happening.

Thanks,

Forrest

You need more data! In particular fetch the 'virtual adrian' package from
Sun (http://www.sun.com/960601/columns/adrian/se2.5.html).  It should
point out any performance bottlenecks...

       I think that this is a problem of OS.  My friend told me that he
read a BUG report of this problem in BSD/OS mailing-list.  I read the
report and thought so.  Please remember this when thinking about how to
treat following hints.

       I got a patch for traditional ftpd from Dr. saitoh
(saitoh@{ics.ES,rd.ecip}.osaka-u.ac.jp).  Please remember his name because
I didn't find a way of how to fix it.  He found it.

       The patch just likes follwing.

+       alarm(60);
       s = accept(pdata, (struct sockaddr *)&from, &fromlen);
+       alarm(0);

       I used this for ftpd.c of beta-8 and it has worked fine.  I had 1
trouble in 7 months.  It means that this patch is almost perfect, I think
so.

       And few minutes ago I tried to read ftpd.c of beta-10.  I found
some codes around calling an accept function.  I guess somebody tried to
correct this problem.  I don't know beta-10 works fine or don't work.  I
know only above patch works fine on beta-8.

Good Luck,

For those of you who posted having problems on Solaris 2.5
getting anonymous to be able to run ls -al (eg.), my friend
Thom White showed me the way to a script found at the end of
the ftpd man page.  It fixed this problems.

For those of you who choose to work cautiously, it wouldn't hurt
to tar up your existing ~ftp dir.

Good luck.
And thanks Thom!

Thanks to all!  Here's my summary and solutions!
N

---------- Forwarded message ----------

OK, here goes.  I have this funny feeling that my /etc/ftpaccess
file is not being read.  I know it's where it's supposed to be (ckconfig
says so).

1.  No .msg's appear upon login or any banner's either for that matter.
in inetd.conf - in.ftpd -a fixed it.

2.  The xferlog logs nothing.
see sol #1.

3.  When I ftp to a virtual domain anonymously, it doesn't go to
   the correct ftp dir specified in the ftpaccess file.  It goes
   to the generic ftp dir.
see sol to #1.

4.  password restrictions don't kick in for anonymous user.
see sol to #1

5.  ls -al still complains about the libraries for the anonymous
   user, but not a reg. user.  I've compiled ls in the bin dir
   and copied the needed libs according to truss.
   Hence, when I try:
               chroot ~ftp /bin/ls
   I get:      Killed
Yep the script found at the end of the ftpd man page did the
trick.  See my previous posting with script attached.

       Yes. There is ftp user in /etc/passwd. Ftpd accepts anonymous or
ftp user but it donesn't keep infomation in wtmpx file.

Subject: DO I Need a usr,dev,lib,etc directory for *ALL* my Users?
Mime-Version: 1.0

X-Sender: [email protected] (Unverified)
X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.2
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I have anonymous ftp working OK. But what I want to do now is set up wu-ftp
so that some specific users can ftp using their own id's and passwords, and
have wu-ftp drop them into their *OWN* directory so that a 'pwd' says
they're in '/', but they are really in their own HOME directory
(i.e. /export/home/users/customers/user01).

I got this working for one user, but I had to run the setup script (from
Solaris 2.5 ftpd man page) in the user's account, so that in
/export/home/users/customers/user01, some new directories were created:
       bin (a link), usr, dev, etc, & pub

Here's the question: do I need to run this script and set up these
directories in *ALL* of my users HOME directories?

PROS:
       When a user ftp's in, they get dropped into their HOME directory and
it         looks like '/' to them (i.e. they can't go anyewhere and hurt
anyone but         themselves).

CONS:   A little more work on my part for each new user;
       A little wasteful of disk resource (about 2.5 Mb, mostly in the usr
directory)

If I set up the usr,bin,dev,etc,pub directories one level higher, say in
/export/home/user/customers, and make the correct entry in the /etc/passwd file:
   user01:x:User01 FTP Account:/export/home/users/customers/./user01:/bin/false
they still get dropped into /export/home/users/customers/user01, but the
'pwd' command shows that they are in "/user01", and they can 'cd ..' and
look around.

Has anyone got any ideas on this subject? I'm sure people have done this
sort of thing before.  I looked in the FAQ and saw nothing like it.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like _PATH_WTMP is not set correctly though.. check for that setting.
When all else fails, 'strings ftpd | grep wtmp' or
'strings -a ftpd | grep wtmp' .

The difference is that some device numbers have changed between 2.4 and
2.5...

Hi all,

I just fetched the academ 2.4.2 patch 11 release and installed it under
Solaris 2.5.
I had the 2.4 running under Solaris 2.4 so far and (nearly) everything
went fine with the conversion. Compiling was much easier (gcc 2.7.2.)
than the last time and configuration and binaries were not a problem.
For ls of course the newer version and newer libraries have to be used.

Well, there is one thing which does not work:
Displaying messages for anonymous users. I have in my ftpaccess a
message /welcome.msg            login

welcome.msg is in ~ftp and world readable. With the old demon the
message was displayed. Any suggestions why the new doesn't do it ?

Thanks, Stefan.

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

5. Installing the wu-ftpd

      In general, change the line for the ftp-server in /etc/inetd.conf
      (the file that defines the servers started by inetd. For some
      operating systems, this is another file).

          1. Command-line options for wu-ftpd

             With the latest versions, using no command-line options will
             set it to a default-mode, in which it will not parse the
             ftpaccess file. Add the option -a to the command line in
             inetd.conf.

I'm sure someone has requested this of the list before, but I forgot
(sorry). I am trying to set up a user who is exactly like anonymous, but
called something else (of my choosing). Basically, we want an automatic
connection from a remote machine not using passwords, but not using the
anonymous account. Is this possible and if so...how?

Many thanks

I can suggest an outline of an "experiment" to fans of Virtual FTP who want
to save space used by shared libraries by sharing them between the "chroot"'d
FTP areas of the various sites being hosted on one machine. I currently do
not have time to test this out to see if it works and any site running
awuftpd  Virtual FTP is probably better equipped to do this.

The central idea is to use a partition with a copy of the shared libraries
and use "loopback virtual file system" [ Read lofs(7F) ] mounting in
Solaris 2 to do the sharing. The details follow for those interested.

-----

Anonymous FTP login involves a chroot to a separate directory part
which requires replicating the shared libries used by the set of commands
accessible to the anonymous ftp user (minimally /usr/bin/ls). With
Virtual FTP, I presume that the chroot() is done to different diretories
based on the destination address of the connection (local address from the
server end). The goal is to share the shared libraries among the FTP chroot'd
areas. There should still be ONE copy of these libraries made because part of
the reason of chroot() is to take away the ability of anonymous ftp users
to exploit any (present or future) security holes to compromise your system.
[ I would not recommend using this technique to share the libraries of the
primary system root area ]

This "sharing" cannot be done with symbolic links since they oviously
cannot span outside the chroot'd area. It is limited (and can have other
problems), with "hard links" which can only be made within a filesystem
partition.

With loopback filesystem, what might work is to have a separate partition
mounted can be dedicated to the "ftp shared libs" and mounting that
area on other chroot'd ftp library areas. Here is in illustration of what
I am suggesting would be needed to make the ls commands in different
virtual FTP areas share a single copy of the libraries. It is just
an illustartion which can be customized for their sites...

(1) Use a partition (e.g. /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 for the shared libraries)
       - Find out what librares are needed
       e.g.
               host% ldd /usr/bin/ls
              libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
               libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1

       - Create the directory for replica of the shared libraries needed
         mount it readonly after "initializing "
       e.g.
       host# mkdir /shared_ftp_libs
       host# mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 /shared_ftp_libs
       host# cp -p /usr/lib/libc.so.1 /shared_ftp_libs
       host# cp -p /usr/lib/libdl.so.1 /shared_ftp_libs
       [ Comment: unmount and remount it read only (and any other
         options now ]
       host# umount /shared_ftp_libs
       host# mount -F ufs -r /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 /shared_ftp_libs

(2)  Create the ".../usr/lib" directories in your virtual ftp chroot areas:
       e.g.

       host# mkdir -p /export/ftp/virtual_site1/usr/lib
       host# mkdir -p /export/ftp/virtual_site2/usr/lib

(3) Mount the lib areas using "lofs" filesystem
       e.g.

       host# mount -F lofs /shared_ftp_libs /export/ftp/virtual_site1/usr/lib
       host# mount -F lofs /shared_ftp_libs /export/ftp/virtual_site1/usr/lib


Once this done manually and properly initialized, the basic mount command
equivalents can put in the right order (and order is important) in /etc/vfstab.
so that it comes up as needed at boot time.

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

I hope that is enough of an outline for anyone interested to attempt
this. As I said before, I have not really tried this and there might
be some gotchas or details missing. But as far as I know, this should
work and accompliesh sharing of the shared libraries among the different
chroot areas of "virtual FTP" sites on the same host.

Hi there,

I have set up my wu-ftpd for Solaris 2.4.
I have created a user for which the FTP-server should
do a chroot, just like as in anonymous FTP. All the
libs and programs have been copied or linked as recommended
in ftpd man pages.

Problem is that when I connect to the FTP-server,
it simply does not return any file listing, but
my ls-command works fine. Seems as if I chroot to
the wrong place, or don't have correct permissions?

The user's passwd entry looks like this:
x:103:2000:Stefan Berg:/export/home/stefan/./:/bin/ksh

ie I want the FTP-server to chroot to /export/home/stefan

What is going wrong? I get no error messages or nothing.

Please help me out here.

Best regards,

Stefan

Subject: sending two files when one is requested
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Dear list readers,

I run wu-ftpd 2.4.1 on Solaris 2.4 (and 2.5) and it works just
fine. Now I'm looking for a facility that enables my server to send
two seperate files, when a specific file is reqeusted from a
ftp-client.

I will explain in more detail here:

I have a lot of data produced by different observation
laboratories. Given a file it is possible to figure out the name of
the laboratorium that has produces the data, eg. the file exp-data is
produced by the exp laboratorium, and the pqs-data by the pqs
laboratorium.

Now the laboratorium only allows me to put the data on a ftpserver, if
I also send a "README" from the laboratorium with the data. I don't
want to attach the README on alle the data, because it wastes
diskspace, and because it's not desireble to mixup text and data in
the same file. So I want to send the README corresponding to the
laboratorium as a seperate file, when a user gets one data file. If
the user retrieves more than one datafile from the same laboratorium,
I will send the README only once.

Do you have an idea of how to implement or configure that on wu-ftpd
2.4.1? Any help is appreciated.

Yours,

How far have people pushed wu-ftpd (how many concurrent
users) ??  How many users could it  theoretically support
concurrently ??

I'm trying to get a feel for how far I can push it.

This is supposed to be generated by the makefile.  On the HP here I had
to modify the makefile to get it to work (HP make broken?).  The change I
made is:

Put in (remember to use a tab before sh)
vers.c: ftpd.c ftpcmd.y newvers.sh
       sh newvers.sh

and remove
vers.o: ftpd.c ftpcmd.y
       sh newvers.sh
       ${CC} ${CFLAGS} -c vers.c

I submitted this (for HP) back to bugs with another when none of
HAVE_GETRLIMIT, HAVE_GETDTABLESIZE, or OPEN_MAX are defined.  If none are
defined you can get a coredump on ls with arguments.

I am trying to create restricted access via wuftpd for REAL users on my
system. I have had zero sucess, so I thought I would try u. Here is what I
have done:

In /etc/passwd:
user1:!:798:900::/home/user1/./:/etc/ftponly

In /etc/group:
ftponly:!:210:user1

In /usr/local/lib/ftpd/ftpaccess
guestgroup ftponly

In /home/user1
       ./bin
       ./usr
       ./etc
       ./lib
               (note: each of the above subdirectorys were copied from the
/home/ftp/bin ./etc ./lib ./usr)

user1 does NOT exist in /usr/local/lib/ftpd/ftpusers

When I try to login as user1 I immediatley get a:

530 User user1 access denied...
Login failed

If I change the shell field in /etc/passwd from /etc/ftponly to /bin/bash, I
am able to logon but of course I can go anywhere....?... What should I check
next??

Thanks,
-Rob

OK, I've had wu-ftpd w/ restricted user access running for all of 2 days, so
I probably have no credentials for answering your question, but..........

That shell entry in your password file, "/etc/ftponly", does that entry
exist in your "/etc/shells" file?  It *MUST*.  What is in "/etc/ftponly" anyway?

I got mine to work by putting "/bin/false" in the shell field.  I added it
to my "/etc/shells" file, and the contents of "/bin/false" look something
like this:

Reverse user1's group setup, an ftponly user must have the "guestgroup"
as their primary group in the password file entry not the group file.

Does /etc/ftponly exist in /etc/shells?  If not, put the entry in
/etc/shells, but don't create /etc/ftponly -- it should not exist.

I am trying to build a secure server using the guidelines published
in SunWorld Online for building a secure solaris server. When I
add ftp stuff I get the following error message every time I try
to do a anonymous ftp into the serverC. Regular user ftp works
fine so the problem has to do with chroot.

230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number.
ftp> pwd
257 "/" is current directory.
ftp> 221 Goodbye.

The ftp dev directory looks like this:

crw-rw-rw-   1 root     other     11, 42 Jun 24 19:18 tcp
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     other    105,  1 Jun 25 07:26 ticotsord
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     other     11, 41 Jun 25 07:26 udp
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     other     13, 12 Jun 24 19:18 zero

which is per the ftpd page in the 2.5 documentation

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Dunno about the theoretical limits, but ftp.cdrom.com has a 1250 user
limit last time I checked (which is usually maxed out, BTW).  They claim
that they're using a single Pentium Pro 150 with a half gig of RAM; I
suppose it's possible that such a box could handle that many users.

By contrast, we have an old-ish 133MHz Alpha here at wuarchive, with 192MB
of RAM, and our load avg. never drops below about 20 (50 is average) with
200 ftp users.

I think that there's not much of a practical limit as long as you have
sufficient CPU and I/O to handle it.

Subject: ftpaccess "noretrieve" keyword glitch?
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I may have misunderstood what "noretrieve" does, but it seems to work
incorrectly in 2.4.2beta11... If I put the following line in my ftpaccess
file:

noretrieve /etc/passwd

Then, when I do an anonymous login, I can't get the file, as expected.
I.e., the following fails:

ftp> get /etc/passwd
local: /etc/passwd: Permission denied

However-- the following commands *do* work!

ftp> cd /etc
250 CWD command successful
ftp> get passwd
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for passwd... blah blah...
..etc...

Is this correct?  I know I could put "noretrieve passwd" instead, but
that would prevent access to *all* files named passwd, which I don't want
to do.  (I don't want to explain to some anonymous user why they can't
up/download a file called "passwd", while everything else is ok...)

Comments?

Also-- (sorry for tacking this one on)  I've been struggling with the
"upload" clause in ftpaccess.  I've entered these lines (and hupped, of
course):

upload /opt/anonftp  *       no
upload /opt/anonftp  /pub/*  yes  ftp anonftp  0666

My goal is to let anyone upload anything into any subdirectory under
/pub, but not to let any files get uploaded into /pub (keep clutter
down...)  However, I *can* upload files to /pub as anon.  Also, all
files and directories have mode 0664, instead of 0666...  What have I
screwed up?

You need to add a -a to the inetd.conf line for wu-ftp. Without the -a it
uses the default that are in the samples directory.

I am unable to limit the number of anon logins with my Linux setup.

these are the lines from my ftpaccess:

class   local   real,guest,anonymous *.carib-link.net 0.0.0.0
class   remote  real,guest,anonymous *

limit   local   10  Any                 /etc/msgs/msg.toomany
limit   remote  10 SaSu|Any1800-0600   /etc/msgs/msg.toomany
limit   remote  10  Any                 /etc/msgs/msg.toomany

Does anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks much

Put "-a" on the end of your ftpd command-line call, in your inetd.conf.
Newer versions of the ftpd require a -a parameter to read in ftpaccess.
I can't for the life of me imagine why, but there you have it...

I was having a similar problem which was liked to swap space, as well as
Solaris 2.4.  When I upgraded to 2.5.1 + patches and added a tonne of swap
space, things  improved enough to create a stable environment.

Just my two cents worth.

Wow.  That fixed all my woes, too!  (from my message of 30 minutes ago...)

Hi!

You should edit "ftphome" variable too.

Is it possible that you can help with a problem I am having with
installing wu-ftpd to run under SCO UNIX v5.0.0 on a Compaq Prosignia
500? I have encountered various probs, and resolved all but this last
one. Here is the text:

# ./build sco
make args are :
make opts are :

bin/ftpshut: 5424 + 9712 + 3224 = 18360
bin/ftpwho: 12212 + 10236 + 3244 = 25692
bin/ckconfig: 18164 + 7968 + 3664 = 29796
Done

It's only the FTPD file creation which is the problem, as you can see. I
would be more than grateful for any thoughts,
Regards

Hello,

I am trying to access my Anonymous FTP server
from a macintosh. The result is verry strange:
I get the welcome message I wrote:

"Welcome to the GRIAO Anonymous FTP server blablabla..."

But I cannot list the directory content with "ls" or "dir"

The problem is not wu-ftp, since I get the same result
with the "standard" ftp daemon.

Anyone have an idea what the bug could be?

N.B.: I get this problem from my Mac only.
Accessing my server from a Unix system works correctly.

I'm have a similiar result to Daniel Leroux
but on an Amiga.

The login window on GUI-FTP shows the Welcome to
Sunsite banner but when the program sends
the send the dir command there is nothing in the
remote window and the login window show
ls -lAg not supported.

If I use ncftp in a DOS environment all
works fine.

How can I set up real users to always chroot to the ftp dir?
I'm using NIS so modifing the passwd file isn't feasible.

I'm new to this list and I'm sure this subject has covered completely,
but...

I'm getting a lot of hung processes which can quickly max out my site
using 2.4 on a sparc20 running sol2.5.  Does anyone have a cron script
out there which can hunt down and kill these guys?

Also, is there a FAQ for this list?

According to the man page for lofs(7FS), it is designed to work as you
describe:

    Loopback mounts of '/' can be performed in conjunction  with
    the  chroot(2)  system  call,  to provide a complete virtual
    file system to a process or family of processes.

Furthermore, just as with any other filesystem type, you can mount lofs
read-only, which is a winner for anon ftp, virtual or not.

Installing newer versions also fixes this. There are beta's of wu-ftpd
available. Development of wu-ftpd is no longer done at washington university.

Yup

I am curious... I run 2.4 (Beta 11) with Solaris 2.5 and on a sparc 20
I never get hung processes.  Why do I see alot of people with the same
config get them?

This is a 24 hour script.  It has to be modified at the beginning of each
month.  It's nothing special, but does trick for sites that are not too busy.

Anth



ps -ef | grep ftpd | awk '
{      if ($5 == "Jun")   print "kill -9 "$2 >> "/kill.file" }
                       '

sh kill.file

Subject: ftponly accounts doesn't work
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN


Please,

       I've setup a 'ftponly' group in my /etc/group file, put it under
'guestgroup' in ftpaccess file and setup an invalid shell (/bin/true) for
the user. I'm running AIX 4.1.3 and wu-ftpd beta-11.

       As AIX doesn't use /etc/shells, i've created one and put a '/bin/true'
line there. but it doesn't work and ftp access for the user is denied.

       I think something different has to be made for AIX, but I don't know
what!! Any clues will be great.

       TIA,

   The hung processes are caused by incomplete ftp sessions.  If
someone cancels or a line gets dropped or the internet burps and
a transfer fails in the middle, it will cause a hung process in
SunOS 4.1.4

   I was using them to track various ftp upload failures which
we have now fixed.

   We still get hung processes but they are almost always from
across the net, and not across dialup.

   They go away after a while because we are running ftp beta 11

I know asking for software on mailing lists is frowned upon,
but I really did try to find 2.4.2 beta 11 with no success.

I found no copy on www.academ.com's site.

Can someone point me at a copy of 2.4.2 beta 11?  Also, information
on using it to deploy multihomed anonymous ftp directories would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I've configured wu-ftpd 242-beta11 on an aix 4.1 box,
setup inetd to call the correct ftpd w/ the -a, yet
when I try to log in as anyone it says "User x access denied".

I'm using the vanilla ftpaccess file (it's in the right place
according to ckconfig), yet no go.  Any suggestions.

AIX is not used to having an /etc/shells file. Two possible solutions to
fix this :

- either create an /etc/shells file with all used shells in it.

- or get the patch from

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

although I'm not sure whether they will work with beta-11.

Thanks Koos.

I have already tried what you suggested regarding the patch and the
/etc/shells file; (I did read the FAQ ;-), BUT it did not help.  The
patch appears to be "diffs" of old versions of various src files and the
like, which the beta11 covers most of.  I made some changes and re-compiled,
no change from earlier.

Any other tricks up your sleeve I could try?

The compile goes fine without errors, all the other executables are fine,
ckconfig checks all OK (all is correct and I have double checked), etc....BUT:
no1.superb.net:/opt/software/bin/wu-ftpd-2.4/bin>ftpd
Abort (core dumped)
--> ftpd ALWAYS crashes. When as FTPD in inetd.conf, "Service Unavailable" error
(BTW, all is correct for anonymous too FTP and anon works with in.ftpd).

Any tips/tricks to compile wu-ftpd (2.4.2b11) to actually work under:
Solaris 2.5 (SPARC)
using gcc 2.6.3
appreciated.

I have tried all I could think of, totally restarted a number of times, etc. to
no avail...

Thanks in advance for any help!
Haralds

P.S. I've searched the archives but come up empty for an FAQ or something on
how to make "virtual" FTP hosts. I just need a template of a the file to edit
or a brief FAQ for that. Also, where are the "virtual host" patches, etc.?
(again, nothing in the list archives about a URL).

Yup. All is available.

What I really hate about this is that I have no clue what could the problem be!
ftpwho, ftpshut, and others all work; ckconfig all checks out; all files follow
the correct template; there were no errors during compile (and re-compiling),
and so...yet it just aborts (w/o any errors) and dumps the core whenever run.

Subject: wu-ftpd beta 11 doesn't allow any user to log in

Hi guys,

I've just compiled wu-ftpd beta 11 with no errors, set up all necessary
files (ckconfig checks all OK), but all attempts to log in as anonymous or real
user failed. The daemon does read ftpaccess file because a banner message
appears during connection, however it says "421 Service not available, remote
server has closed connection. Login failed. No control connection for command:
Permission denied" as soon as I enter user name or just ftp. Syslogd says
"<date> <host_name> ftpd[3099]: exiting on signal 11". What's wrong?
I'm running Solaris 2.4 on Sparc platform.

Check the wu-ftpd FAQ located at http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html.
See the 2 and 4 items under "Running wu-ftpd" part. There is no exect clue to
your problem, however there is some info about shells on AIX.
Hope this helps.

       hmm its path is correct... but it doesn't keep info in wtmp file.

seacom# strings -a ftpd|grep wtmp

One problem my install/complie (my prev. message yesterday) might have is
something with GCC...there is slight possibility that the note in INSTALL to an
older GCC version still applies to a newer one....but instead of reinstalling
GCC (to test this very unlikely possibility of the problem), I would appreciate
if someone could E-mail me or ftp upload (anon login to no1.superb.net
/pub/incoming) their executable 'ftpd' from Solaris 2.5 (sparc)...

Thanks in advance!

BTW, for virtual hosting - are the patches necessary or is it already built in
2.4.2b11?

Greetings,

If anyone has (and can E-mail me or anon ftp upload to no1.superb.net) or
could point me to a Solaris 2.5 binary of 'ftpd', your response/help would be
greatly appreciated. Preferably 2.4.2b11 (academ), virtual hosting capabilities
and default paths.

(this is to see if the problem is with my GCC, highly unlikely as no error
messages, but a possibility according the wu-ftpd documentation - if it isn't, I
just want to get it out of the way and diagnose the server to spot the problem
elsewhere)

Thanks in advance!
Haralds Jass

We're having a problem with the Beta 11 version of wu-ftpd.  This is
on a Linux 2.0 box, compiled with support for shadow and virtual
ftp servers.

If a user logs into a virtual ftp server using the username
"anonymous" he or she will not get the "welcome.msg" displayed.

However, if the same user logs into the same virtual ftp server as
user "ftp", he or she will get the "welcome.msg" displayed.  This is
with the same client machine, client software, e-mail address (without
leading "-"), etc.  It also works properly on the "main" FTP server
regardless of "anonymous" or "ftp" being used.
