Hello,
I have been trying to compile wu-ftpd.2.4 on a Linux 1.2.1 machine,
because we need to apply the patch to run virtual servers.
I have gone through the entire process a couple of time, downloaded
the package from tsx-11.mit.edu from the directory slackware/n/.

when I do a build lnx (for linux) I get a lot of errors and none of
the makes compile at all. I have attached the screen dump from one of
the sessions. We are currently using gcc ver 2.5.8

I would appreciate any help in this matter.

Thanks.
Saurabh

Hello,

this ist a mail from Germany (excuse the bad english).

I am a internet-provider and on one pc wu-ftp ist running with virtual hosts.
When I log in my own (no virtual) ftp it works with ftp and
anoymous. But when I log in a virtual host as ftp, ls dosn't work and
other problems. Login with a special username (home-dir is the root of
the virtual-host and shell is /bin/false), then ls works, but I can change
with cd the diretory to the root. But I don't want somebody working with total
access to my server.

I hope you will help me...

Thanks
Thomas, <Aragon-Software>

Hi. BSDI 2.0 with academ beta 10 currently going. (I plan on getting
beta 11 going one of these days when I have a moment.)

Can anyone give me a pointer on how to disable the transfer of a file with
a certain extension? Kind of like the upload section of ftpaccess, but in
reverse. It'd be optimal if it works for anonymous users, allowing real
users full access.

The easy way would be to chmod g-r,o-r the files involved, but we'd prefer
that all real users on the machine have access to everything, and just
anonymous users be under the restriction.

Thanks.

Andrew

I don't know if it was part or beta-10 but beta-11 offers
the "noretrieve" key word

noretrieve <file> <file> ......

the sad news is:
no globbing
and apply to all classes.

Maybe if you have the time you can fiddle with
the source and send us the patch ;-)

Maybe a little more info !! (like the version of wu-ftpd, OS, ...)

>From a first diagnostic, I'd say you don't have
a correct directory structure.

Doing virtual also means that ftpd will do the chroot() in
different places. So you must provide a full directory structure
with binaries for each virtual home.
meaning you gotta have:

etc/passwd
bin/ls
usr/lib/*
dev/*
...
...

I really hope so too 8)

Hi,

1) We saw on HP/UX 9 and HP/UX 10 the following problem. Some FTP connections
were not closed even if not used (0 in the 1st column of ftpwho output instead
of 1).
Is there any patch to solve this problem ? For the moment, we use a perl
script to kill those connections.

2) On Solaris 2.5, we have anothere code in the 1st column of ftpwho : 8. What
does it mean ? Is there the same problem of hanging connections for this OS ?

3) Does someone know the meaning of the different columns of ftpwho output
(the man pages about ftpwho are really poor) ?

Thanks in advance for your help. Gildas.

This looks like the passive mode hanging - if a connection is made, but
dies before the "select", then the process waits.

There is a patch to cure this, although I don't know where ... If you're
really stuck, I'll diff my src from the original

I wrote a perl script to kill the hung ones, but if there is a patch I would
like to know about it.

Greetings!

I checked the FAQ, and was unable to answer my questions there...

Here goes:
----------
I want to be able to provide multiple users access to a single ftp server,
and allow each one private directories, so users of one domain can't cross
the border and get into another domain's space (without loggin on under the
other domain :)

In other words:

FTP.SERVER.COM is to provide services to:

ftp.domain1.com
ftp.domain2.net
ftp.domain3.com
ftp.domain4.org

I want each of these to come up with their own virtual root system, such as:

ftp.domain1.com/myfiles
ftp.domain2.net/netfiles

as opposed to the traditional:

ftp.domain1.com/pub/domain1.com/pub/myfiles

I would like these to be separate, so that when I log into an ftp site, it
shows me the directory "pub, usr, myfiles" that are unique to that domain's
site...

Is there any way to do this with WU-FTPD?

Thanks!
Eric

Hi Eric

I have exactly the same question...
Please see my previous two newsgroup postings...
in ucb.os.linux and comp.unix.admin + a couple other assorted newsgroups

I have some detailed info of where to find stuff and what a quick
description of my problem
( I'm attempting to patch either versions of wu-ftpd )
( wu-ftpd-2.4-fixed or wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11 )

my problem is extracting the "virtual ftp domain names" from inside
wu-ftpd.../src/ftpd.c

thanx
alvin

------------------------------------------------------
1. Where do I get the updated version ?

The above is the last version created by wuarchive. On the
mailing list, an updated version has been created which is
maintained by Stan Barber ([email protected]).

You can get this beta by ftp from the directory :

ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/ the directory is
not browsable, a .message file will point you to what is the
latest version. Read this .message.

Remember, these are BETA versions. Before asking/trying
anything, check first that you have the latest version. And
if you run this version, keep up with the list to make sure
you get news of updates.
------------------------------------------------------
ftp ftp.academ.com
ftp>cd pub/wu-ftpd/private
ftp> get .message -
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for .message (333 bytes).
This directory contains the latest beta (if one exists) for the
Washington University at Saint Louis FTP daemon for Unix systems with
bug fixes and enhancements added by Academ Consulting Services.

This directory is protected. The name of the current beta is
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11.tar.Z and this file must be downloaded in binary.
226 Transfer complete.
remote: .message
339 bytes received in 0.0088 seconds (37 Kbytes/s)
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.
------------------------------------------------------

beside patches for
- a more secure PORT command
- virtual ftp
- .....
- .....

there is also one for the passive mode. see FIXES-2.4*

hope it helps

Hi,

I nearly completed the correct installation of wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11 on HP/UX
10.10 using the cc compiler of development option. Here are my procedures :

Since realpath is already defined in HP/UX 10.10, I removed realpath
references in SRCS and OBJS variables in src/makefiles/Makefile.hpx ; I also
modified src/extensions.c :
/*
#ifdef __STDC__
extern char *realpath(char *pathname, char *result);
#else
extern char *realpath();
#endif
*/
extern char *realpath();

After ./build hpx, I modified Makefile :

BINDIR= /local/etc
ETCDIR= /local/etc
MANDIR= /usr/local/man

Now I have one last BIG problem. I had previoulsy configured wuftpd-2.4 and
all configurations and binaries files were in /local/etc. I changed
src/pathnames.h of wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11 according to this :

#define USE_ETC
#define USE_LOG

#ifdef USE_ETC
#define _PATH_FTPUSERS "/local/etc/ftpusers"
#define _PATH_FTPACCESS "/local/etc/ftpaccess"
#define _PATH_CVT "/local/etc/ftpconversions"
#define _PATH_PRIVATE "/local/etc/ftpgroups"

I checked with bin/ckconfig that /local/etc/ftpaccess is actually used. In
/local/etc/ftpaccess, I have : banner /local/etc/msgs/banner which contains a
banner. However, this banner is not displayed with wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11
server while it is with wuftpd-2.4 server.

Any idea about this problem ? Thanks in advance for your help. Gildas.

Hi,

I am having a problem such that Solaris gives me a message "recompile
with larger A_TSIZE" when running acctcon. It seems that one solution
would be having the wu-ftpd not generating wtmp entries or something
like that ( probably I am wrong ). I just want to know if anyone in this
list has coped with that problem. Someone told me it should not happen
with Solaris 2.5, but here it does happen. I compile with gcc 2.7.2. By
the way I have trouble for compiling under Solaris 2.5 as it looks for
the headers

Thanks for your help.

I hope all of you had a nice summer.

Regards,

Javier Puche.

I had the same problem with beta 11 under Linux (compiled with gcc 2.7.0).
It refused to read any of my config files (it wouldn't apply the settings in
my /etc/ftpaccess, wouldn't display my banner, etc) even though ckconfig said
that my configuration was fine. I recompiled several times, fiddling with
various options but never got it working (wuftpd-2.4, however, is working
fine). Has anyone else had this same problem and managed to fix it?

Hi folks.

I know that to filter out the wu-ftpd messages in the SYSLOG you have to
edit the syslog.conf. Does anybody know what the syntax and string is?

TIA.

Subject: Potential security hole in wu-ftpd
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Greetings:

I have recently discovered a limited-circumstances variation of the
old ftpd double-login bug in wuftpd 2.4 (running under Solaris 2.5).
This bug was fixed before the CERT came into existence, so I am rather
surprised to see it years later.

The variation I've found recently appears like this:

# ftp ftp
Connected to ftp.
220 ftp FTP server (Version wu-2.4(1) Wed Sep 4 14:09:00 EDT 1996) ready.
Name (ftp:root): root
530 User root access denied.
Login failed.
ftp> user root
331 Password required for root.
Password: <root's password here>
230 User root logged in.
ftp>

Root was blocked the first time, but upon a second attempt, root is
allowed in (with root's password).

In my experimentation, this only happens if root's ability to log in
is restricted with the ftphosts. If root is in /etc/ftpusers, the
daemon is not susceptible to this particular problem. However, if you
allow limited root ftp logins through allow and deny rules [*], the
double-login trick works. Please note that root's password is
required for login; this is not a "gimme" hole. However, if you are
trying to restrict root ftp logins from coming through a firewall but
allowing them inside the firewall, this could be a potential problem.

Interestingly, when I tried to track down what was going on in the
daemon with the -d flag, the problem disappeared.

MJB

* Initial experimentation would imply that a ftphosts file of the form
deny root host1.foo.com
allow root *.foo.com
deny root *
is susceptible, but one of the form
allow root *.foo.com
deny root *
is not.

As long as you follow all of the legal provisions of the copyright
agreement, you can basically do anything you want with the code. We'd be
happy to hear about any modifications you make, but you are certainly not
legally obligated to notify us if you make changes to the code and/or sell
it.

I think you have to change what facility named is going to log to -
local2 or something. Then recompile and add "local2.debug
/var/adm/named.log" to syslog.conf.

Darnit, I fixed that in the INSTALL but didn't catch it in the README :)

Thanks, I'll fix that.

Changes:

README was changed to correct the wu-ftpd mailing list address. The old
list server was listed as [email protected]; the address has since
changed to [email protected]. Also, minor changes were made to
indicate that Bryan O'Connor (the primary author of wu-ftpd) no longer
provides support for wu-ftpd.

Similar changes were made in November 1995 to the INSTALL file; I didn't
realize until a few days ago that the README file also needed correcting.
Thanks to David Schlussel ([email protected]) for pointing this out.

The CHECKSUMS file has been updated to reflect the changes in the .tar.Z
file. Also, the 2.3 --> 2.4 patch has been removed since it doesn't apply
anymore (not to mention that 2.3 is all but nonexistant).

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this little
change.

Subject: ftpconversions problems
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm trying to get ftpconversions working on a Sun running Solaris 2.3.
I'd like to zip a portion of a filesystem to make a file suffixed .zip.
Ftp works fine but conversions don't

ftp> get Dlv_FipConfig_V1.zip
200 PORT command successful.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
ftp>

Nothing in /var/adm/messages or /usr/adm/xferlog

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.)

Extract from ftpconversions :

: : :.zip:/usr/local/bin/zip -r %s %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS:ZIP
:.zip: : :/usr/local/bin/unzip:T_REG|T_DIR:O_UNCOMPRESS:UNZIP

Thanks

I have been running a fairly large site and its been running very well for
sometime, however now I have a need of doing sublogins. I set it up according
to the instructions in the Managing Internet Information services.

I have created a user in the ~ftp/etc/passwd file as follows

special:encrytped passwd here:501:1:update files:/pub/update:/bin/false

I created the directory update and chowned it to 501 and chgrped it to 1 (which
is users in the group file). I chmodded the directory to 700

331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.
Password:
230-
230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
ftp> cd pub
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> cd special
550 update: Permission denied.
ftp> user special
530 Already logged in.
Login failed.
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.

Any suggestions?

I tried putting false into the ~ftp/bin directory with no luck

Hi everybody

I have compiled wu-ftpd on Solaris 2.5.1. Everything works fine but its use
of wtmpx is invalid. lastcomm no more works, wtmpx is broken because of wu-ftpd
misuse. I was looking for the answer in wu-ftpd-faq but didnt find it. Can
anybody help me? Is there any patch for wu-ftpd to use wtmpx on solaris?

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I have managed to compile the daemon but the send_data function does not
work. I think the problem may be due to the fact that NCR UNIX uses tlid and
streams rather than sockets.

I want to log get and put requests but do not need support for anonymous
ftp.

has anyone ported wu-ftpd to a similar platform to mine or do you know of a
system V based ftpd that I could use.

Thanks in advance.

You could use it in conjunction with ssh (secure shell).

Check the latest WU-FTPD betas. They are now up to beta-11 and I know
that Virtual Hosts have been in since at least beta-10.

I downloaded the source code of the ls from mentioned address. In order to
compile (staticly) the ls with gcc and on Solaris system I slightly modified the
Makefile. After compilation succeeded I issued the ./ls -al command and
it seems that it doesn't work properly. Look yourself at the output:

-rw-r--r-- 1 116 1491 Aug 15 15:56 .mailrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 116 135 Aug 29 21:58 .mailtool-init
drwx------ 3 116 512 Aug 29 21:36 .netscape
-rwxr-xr-x 1 116 1391 Aug 29 21:58 .openwin-init

As you can notice there is no group ownership at all and user ownership
displays in numeric format.
So, does anyone know what's wrong and how it can be corrected?

Sorry for bad English.

Hello ...
Is it possible to lock just one directory with wu-ftpd ..
like you've got this uploads directory
and you want to lock it temporarily .. without editing the configfiles ..
and don't want to do a chmod on the dir ..
I just want to put a file there (named like .nouploads) and noone is able

I seem to recall someone mentioning (I forget where) that if you
create a stub/dummy *.a file of the calls from the dl library,
you can then link against this to create a static binary on Solaris.
I've not tried it, however.

I recently had some problem uploading files to the aminet archive on wustl
because the disk was full. While there is not all that much any ftpd can
do about full disks, it could do one thing a little better: after the
upload failed, I couldn't retry uploading because ftpd had left
zero-length files in the uploads directory. I.e., it would certainly be
nice if failed "put"s didn't leave runt files.

I'm not subscribed to this list, so any replies need to go to my personal
address.

'ls' uses /etc/passwd and /etc/group to convert the numbers into
text. If you were connected to your FTP site as a guest (or anon)
user then ls will be looking in ~ftp/etc for the files because FTPD
performs a chroot. To get text in these fields, create an etc dir
and copy the passwd and group files (world readable) into it.

However, many sites do not do this (mine included). Instead these
sites leave the dir listings as they are. This way a guest user can
not find out the other user ID on your system.

Regards,
Keith.

Thank you for info. However I wanted to explain the problem with the ls itself.
I tried staticly compiled ls instead of system one (/bin/ls) to exemine its
functionality. Anyway, I would like to know what's typical problem which causes
ls to display numeric user and group IDs rather than regular ones? The question
doesn't concern ftp issues.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

ahem, ... from a security point of view...

Keith probably means copy, but with some modifications
like removing the passwd entries if you don't use shadow

I usualy supply a minimum dummy ~ftp/etc/{passwd,group}
---passwd-----
god:*:0:1:The boss::
me:*:116:116:the other boss::
ftp:*:41:20:FTP::

what's in the field doen't really matter it's only to satisfy ls

Hello everybody,

I am new on this list, so pleez excuse if my requests
were dicussed a dozens of times and may be found in a
faq or the manuals.

First I had enormous problems getting it work on a
Sparc20 with Solaris 2.5 and C 4.0. It seemed never
to TRY to compile vers.c on my machine.

I finally compiled parts on another SunSparc10, the
rest was compiled using the above configuration.

But I doubt it will break sooner or later.

So is there anyone who has wuftp2.4 patched to a level
it will get compiled straight ahead on the above machine?

Second, I was wondering if/how it is possible to "hide"
directory entries.

Well, thats it for now - Thanx in advance for any reply.

Best Regards - Ruediger Schwarz

Well, I just upgraded to Sol2.5 and installed C two days ago,
so one could think of a damaged/unsuccessful installation.

But I just went through a complete perl5 compilation,
so I expect all components to work fine.

I will clip a log from a compilation of wu-ftpd2.4 at the end of
this mail.

Thanx for any hint on my problem - Ruediger Schwarz

I recently brought up an FTP server, and had a need to
automatically inform the owners of the data being deposited
there that (1) information had arrived and/or (2) information
is getting old and needs to be dealt with.

I wrote a perl script to handle this, which is available at
ftp://ftp.cle.ab.com/pub/ftpcheck

It parses the ftpaccess file for lines starting with the
string: ##FTPCHECK.
Using info in this line, it generates mail messages listing
the files with "flags" on those more than 2 weeks old.
Documentation on usage and syntax is included in the leading
comments. Most things are configurable in variables in the
beginning, although, without some modification it depends on
find, du, sendmail and formail.

At my site, I add a ##FTPCHECK line for each new directory
I set up, pointing to the person responsible for its contents.

If you're interested, pick it up. However, please don't expect
extensive support, unless you have basic questions...

installed C two days ago rings a bell :

check if you're using /usr/ccs/bin/cc and NOT /usr/ucb/cc.

The ucb version will definately give problems with the running wu-ftpd.
Maybe in this version it even breaks compiling.

As long as you follow the legal guidelines set forth in the copyright
agreement (which can be found at the beginning of every source code
file) you can do anything you want with the code. You don't need our
permission.

However, I would like to make an informal request, as pseudo-maintainer of
the original wu-ftpd source files -- please make sure you use the newest
source code archive from wuarchive.wustl.edu/packages/wuarchive-ftpd; it
contains new README and INSTALL text files which contain new contact
information (mailing lists, changed e-mail addresses, etc.)

> mail to [email protected] and [email protected]
> has not been answered. suggestions ?

Bryan is no longer affiliated with the wu-ftpd project (this is one of the
things covered in the new README and INSTALL files). The wu-ftpd mailing
list is now considered to be the primary support network.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi:

Some one told me about a feature in WU-FTPD that I haven't been able to
find, this guy told me that with WU-FTPD was possible to create virtual
users, besides growing in me the question, he wasn't able to explain,
but he said it worked something like:
a. You log into the server as an anonymous user
b. You authenticate as a diferent user

The nice feature about it, is that the user doesn't have to real, is
virtual to the WU-FTPD server.

Can anyone help me to find out if this is true?

Thankx a lot!

Hi all,

We have been running beta 10 for sometime with virtual servers and
had no problems. Recently we switched to shadow passwording and
now the virtual servers dont point to the correct directory, we
arent getting the welcome messages, and nothing is going to the
xferlogs. I have recompiled and checked the settings God knows
how many times and I am starting the server with the correct
flags to read the ftpaccess file. Upgrading to beta 11 had no
effect. Can anyone recommend a fix to this situation?

Thanks is advance.

Jason

hi,

what about trying the C compiler flags '-Xs' or '-Xt'? this will indulge
for non-ANSI declarations. You can define one of them in the CCFLAGS line
in the ~wuftpd/src/Makefile.

I'm not following ?
Why would you restrict ftp access and
then allowing full login capabilities ???

It's like locking the windows but
leaving the front door wide open.

Guest accounts are cumbersome to maintain
you must provide the dev/* lib/* etc/*
depending on the OS, because of the chroot().

The easiest way out is probably to create
distinct accounts.

/home/guess/./foo1
/home/guess/./foo2

where the hierarchy(dev, lib, etc) in /home/guess is
already set so you don't have to create it for
every guess accounts

I have set wu-ftp up on an aix system. I am having trouble getting it to
work. I can log in via a command line, using a telnet and typing ftp
green.pca.mn.us and I can log in as anonymous ls, cd and everything, it all
works fine. I can see the files and ftp them perfectly. If, however I try
to log in via cuteFTP running on win95 all the directories appear as empty.
I can manually CD but I see no files at all. I can not manually request a
file even if I know the name. Any ideas? --ja

Set /etc/passwd as ordinary passwd as
paul:x:20000:100:Guest ftp:/export/paul:/bin/sh
and chown paul /export/paul then you'll be able to have restrict access account.

What about running a shell script when wu-ftpd is called that chroot()'s the
server to a directory (suitably protected and containing the elements
necessary for the ftpd daemon ~ftp/bin ~ftp/etc .....etc ) having hard links
to each of the users home directories which have rw attributes for the
owners only.

Also the users have a restricted shell (rsh) defined in the passwd db and a
profile which puts them in a subdirectory of $HOME and $PATH defined to
another subdirectory which is rx only for the binaries they need.

This should lock them into their home directories for both ftp and telnet,
rlogin etc.

I am going to try this myself. If any already know that it wont work, please
let me know.

Hi everybody,

I was wondering if/how it is possible to "hide" directory entries.
For example, I have a file welcome.msg, but I want that file
HIDED away from a user typing the dir command.

In particular, I want to use this for the /bin, /etc and so on.

Any hint if the is possible?

Thanx in advance - Ruediger

You can bury the welcome message in a path specified in your ftpaccess
file, as I believe this is viewed before the chroot happens. Mine is in
/etc/msgs: an ftp user never gets close.

Remove read permissions on the directory the file is in; that will make
all files in that directory invisible. That does not mean they are not
readable -- that is controlled by individual file permissions.

Individual ``dot'' files won't appear (i.e. name your file .hidden or
something like that ).

chmod 111 /bin /etc

This makes the directories searchable, but not readable by ftp users
so that they can get at files they need to use, but dir won't work.

Since I did this I have figured out more information. If I telnet to
another system, for instance I have an account at wolf.co.net, and I ftp
back into my new anonymous ftp setup, I can not list any files.... ls does
not work. Before, I was getting ls to work but I was still within the
domain pca.state.mn.us. I feel that this must have something to do with
chroot or permissions on my bin directory inside of ftp. --ja

You are unfair Monica :)

all I was trying to point out is that he is using the wrong
tool. FTP, is a protocol for "Transfering Files", not change
passwd, or having shell capabilities. If you want to
restrict shell access then rsh(restricted shell) login would
be preferable then trying to make it fit inside Ftpd.

Wu-ftpd added to the protocol nice/unnecessary extensions
UMASK
IDLE
CHMOD
HELP
GROUP
GPASS
EXEC
[De]Compression on the fly
etc ...

And having a very busy Ftp site(We transfer over 1 Gig a day..),
I can't go back to plain Ftpd.

Marcus Ranum made the comment in a newsgroup:
"FTP is dead we should turn to HTTP"

My question to this list is .. Is he right ?
Is FTP a dead protocol ?
Should we move to HTTP ?

Should we spend our time patching Ftp and adding new
features(like changing passwd or what ever) ?

Beta-11 is interresting because it added the
virtual patch and compensate for the PORT command, is
that enough/"too much" ?

I would certainly like to hear from all of you

Use 'em both! :)) Just kidding....

You could try to use (on a Unix?) some capabilities offered by
mailreaders as Eudora. Your guests should be able to use it to
change their pw. You have to install the sw.
You could setup a CGI if you'll run a HTTPD.... but uhm.. I love
FTP clients!
Or maybe think about kinda robot capable to read PGPed E-mails.

Subject: Setting up a restricted directory??
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm a fairly new wu-ftpd user and I'm having a problem setting up a particular
restricted area. I would appreciate some suggestions.

I need to set up a subdirectory in my /usr/ftp/area which will allow local 'gps'
group members to insert data into the directory, but only allow noaa employees to
retrieve the data.

Let me explain what I have so far:

-In the ftpaccess file, I added the following:

class noaa anonymous *.noaa.gov

autogroup noaa noaa

-I added the following to my /etc/group

gps:*:700:gps
noaa:*:999:gps

-I created the following directory:

drwxrwx--x gps noaa /usr/ftp/pub/gps/pub/30min
I also tried the following
drwxrwx--- gps noaa /usr/ftp/pub/gps/pub/30min

-I created the following test file in 30min:

-rw-r----- 1 gps noaa test.files

With the above settings, nobody can see or retrieve the file. My question is,
why don't the group permissions apply (which should allow noaa people to
retrieve this file)? If I modify the file to -rw-r--r-- then everyone can
retrieve it. What am I missing?

Thanks for your help.

If you want to try the annonymous ftp account:
spruce.fsl.noaa.gov

FTP is not dead. Heck, there are webservers out there that use ftp instead
of http.

Ftp is mostly i/o+network bound, http is more cpu bound.

What I do see is more of making files available via both ftp and http and
throwing BIG machines at it (e.g. sunsite)

ftp servers (most notably wu-ftpd) can be restricted in how much load
they are allowed to put on your system/network. I haven't yet seen a
webserver where I can say that it cannot use up more then N cputime
during the day and no more then 2N cputime at night.

I talked to someone about setting up a webserver on a low budget. The
only way to regulate what amount of cpu is used and how much network
traffic flows by is by a choice of what contents is available on the
webserver.

ftp servers are 'older' and therefore have better features coming from
a time when cpu power, memory and bandwidth costed real money and lots
of it too.

I work with both. I use wu-ftpd to run a small ftp site for our department,
and for some reason it still gets an unusual high number of ftp requests per
day (compared to the number of files available). I also work on the
technical side of some webservers.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages. But ftp is alive and kicking.
The virtualhosting patches show it can even cope with the latest
developments in the selling of internet services.

I haven't gotten chroot to work but I have a method to allow users
to change their own passwords. Instead of a false shell; they get
the passwd command as their shell. (must put the command in the shells
file). When they telnet to the server they login then are prompted to
change their password. Upon compleation they are kicked out.

So far it works pretty well.

I must have missed something, We teach our lower end users to use
Netscape to ftp files from our ftp server.

instead of http:\\www.something.sometype
use ftp:\\[email protected]
If you really feel brave use
ftp:\\userid:[email protected].

When my PC users use Netscape they don't need to know ftp commands;
they just drag and drop to the screen uploads and downloads.
So far it's so easy they can't find anything to complain about (smile)

Did you remember to add the line

guestgroup [name of your guestgroup]]

to your ftpaccess file? And run the server with the -a option?

I think the information is incomplete. Do the gps members log in from
noaa.gov also? There needs to be a way to distinguish gps members from
noaa members, and I'm not seeing how that is done in your example. Looks
to me like everyone gets noaa group status and you can't tell gps from
noah members.

Below is probably incomplete, but it is a sketch of what I would lay out
off the top of my head.

In ftpaccess:

class noaa anonymous *.noaa.gov
autogroup noaa noah
..
class gps anonymous ?????
autogroup gps gps
..
upload /usr/ftp /pub/gps/pub/30min yes root noah 0440 nodirs

Directory ownership/permissions:

drwxrwxr-x root gps /usr/ftp/pub/gps/pub/30min

Just a note, if you're teaching your users this, you sould use the proper
URL. i.e. http://www.dom.ain/

Use forward slashes, and terminate with a slash. If you don't terminate
with a slash, the http protocol issues a redirect and appends the final
slash. Therefore, you've done two accesses instead of one.

nope you're not missing anything. Web browser can talk to an ftp server
by doing

ftp://machine/the_file # forward slash on Unix

The Browser will map the URL to FTP commands

USER ftp
PASS foo@..
PASV | PORT # depending on the implementation
RETR the_file
QUIT

Must of the time the browser will do PASV and ask the ftp server
to open a passive connection, this highlight a weakness in some
ftpd were you can open as many passive connections you want, and
sometimes ftpd would not even close the sockets when finish(hang..).
It was corrected in the beta-xx as the PORT command ... flexibility.

it's more flexible and I don't have to do all
that arm twisting with guestgroup, guestaccounts
file permissions, ftpaccess etc... to make it behave.

so .. I'm thinking .. about the gallows and FTP.

Koos van den Hout seems to say that FTP is alive and
kicking ... compare to what ... Gopher ?

Hi, All

HELP!!

I always got login failed for guest user ftp on my SunOS but if i
give it a shell instead /bin/false then it will be OK but i
don't want to give shell. Everytheing else work fine with ftpaccess setup.

/etc/passwd
wen:x:10001:500:guest ftp:/export/./wen:/bin/false

/etc/group
guests::500:wen

ftpaccess
guestgroup guests

# ftp ftp-serv
Connected to ftp-serv.
220 ram FTP server (Version wu-2.4(4) Thu Sep 5 10:31:18 PDT 1996) ready.
Name (fbi:wen): wen
530 User wen access denied...
Login failed.

All other function in ftpaccess works fine(log, upload, banner, message etc)
so i'm sure ftpd can read ftpaccess.

I'd read "Managing Internet Information Service" from O'Reilly and
i don't know where did i go wrong.

Sorry to bother the list, but can any of you please tell me what is the
wu-ftpd listserv address so I can unsubscribe. For the first time I did
not save the original message from the listserv.

Thank you

Give it a shell of /bin/ftponly and add the name /bin/ftponly to /etc/shells.
This will make ftpd, sendmail and maybe others recognize it as a valid shell.

Make a /bin/ftponly that is a copy of /bin/false.

Warning (also to others) : since /bin/ftponly IS a valid shell for sendmail,
people WILL be able to perform commands on the machine if they know how to
deal with .forward, procmail/filter or other programs which can execute
filters based on mail content.

Solution : divert mail for guest users from the aliases file or delivery
database before local delivery is attempted.

Is /bin/false declared as a valid shell ?
(Must be in /etc/shells under SunOS).

In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>

Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi,
I'm running a very busy ftp server on a Linux 2.0.x box. I had
to add the following line to the config.lnx file to get 2.4.2-beta-11
to compile:

#define DIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS

Everything seems to be working just fine except for the fact that this
error keeps occuring:

Sep 16 11:20:36 un inetd[83]: ftp/tcp server failing (looping),
service terminated

Of course after this happens, no one is able to ftp in untill I give
the inetd a HUP. I've tried setting the max suffix to the wait
statement in inetd.conf up from the default of 40 requests per minute,
but I have to set it at about 180 for it to work. However, when it's
set that high, the machine eventualy just hangs after a day or two.

Is there a way to run a stand alone ftp daemon that spawns off ftp
daemons for each request?

Thanks,
--Jayme

Ohhhhh!!!! I know that answer! :)

The problem is that I only know the answer for SunOS 4.1.3 boxes...

Basically, I used to get that all the time until I found the
following patch...

check this out...

from: Patch-ID# 100178-09 (you can get it at ftp.elvis.ru )

inetd refuses to accept more than 40 connects per minute on a
particular socket (loop detection)

The SS1 is fast enough, that you can end up legitimately calling
rsh more than 40 times per minute.

This patch adds a new argument, "-r", to inetd that allows you to
specify number of connections allowed in the given time in seconds.
The default is to allow 40 connections in a 60 second period, E.G:

/usr/etc/inetd -r 40 60

Typically for a faster machine you might up this to 60 connections
per minute, E.G:

/usr/etc/inetd -r 60 60

I was wondering if there was anything done of recent with conections
that seem to hang around forever in the <IDLE> state. I have noticed
that this happens when ever someone accesses my system with a netscape
browser and a possible on the MSIE browser. Wu-ftpd goes into a hung
state just for that connection yet the rest of the server seems to
rewpond fine.

Hallo!

As I am new to this mailing list forgive me if I am asking what has been solved
already.
OS: Dec-Unix V3.2D (formerly OSF/1)
WU-FTP: V2.4

The problem arises for "on the fly" actions by using the information in file
"ftpconversions".
To use this feature I got gzip running, compress and GNU-tar. Each program is
doing its job by its own.
BUT, TAR+gzip or TAR+Compress does NOT work.

GZIP: Version 1.2.4
TAR: 1.11.8
Compress: 4.1

By compiling and these programs with the options
CFLAGS="-non_shared"
LDFLAGS="-non_shared"
I hope to get rid of links to dynamic linking libraries.

Can anybody give me an hint to solve my problem.

Reiner

I was wondering if it is possible to set a maximum time limit on 2.4 beta 11? I know that it is possible to set a maximum idle time, but I would like a maximum session time...something like if they are connected for so many minutes they are automatically kicked off.

Anyhow, if someone could let me know about this I would appreciate it.

Subject: Trouble installing
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm rather new to Unix administration, but I know I need to install wu-ftpd
to test it for our needs here at my company. We're running HP-UX 10.01 on
an HP 9000 server. The trouble I'm having is (at this point anyway) the
installation instructions refer to files that I need to edit that do not
exist on my system. These files include ftpaccess, ftphosts and ftpgroups.
I understand what these files do, but I do not understand their
configurations, so I'm not sure how to install them nor am I confident I am
not openning up security issues on my system. I cannot find documentation
on these files either. I have man page sections in the archive I
downloaded, but I can't read them.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Anyway, sample versions of these 3 files including comments on how and
why are included with the archive.

hmms... I will only see HTTP replace FTp when HTTP let's me continue an
abort transfer. Till then, my shop will always speak FTP for public files.

HTTP times out, and when it times out after transfering 1Mbyte and missing
only 50k left, it's a waste of resources to bring that first Mbyte again.

See ya!

Put a -tNNN on the command line in inetd.conf, where NNN is the number of
idle seconds to wait.

Speaking of enforcing time-outs on FTP. Is there an easy way to configure
FTP so that its' only available during certain days of the week, or only
certain hours of the day?

it ain't pretty but if push come to shove
you could write a Perl/Shell script around
ps or ftp{count,who} that will go on a rampage "zapping" those rebels.
it's not politically correct, you may zap a long transfer.... but....

Setting the idle time is nicer, but I presume you're talking about
those ftp zombies that wander around. I know somebody in this list
have wrote such a beast but .. can't find the email. So if she/he
is reading this ...

>class local real *.mcgraw-hill.com,152.159.*.*
>class gpiney real *.mcgraw-hill.com 152.159.*.*

There are no messages logged in /usr/adm/messages. Does this have
something to do with the "/etc/shells" file/dir??. If so, what is it,
how do I set one up, what's in it? etc,etc,etc. Solaris does not
use a "/etc/shells".

Thanks in Advance,

when you invoke tar(GNU tar) with the options -z or -Z
it will execpl() the gzip(for -z) or compress(for -Z)
and the paths are the ones it found at compile time
maybe something like "/usr/local/gnu/bin/gzip"

you should have something like :
: : :.tar.Z:/bin/tar -c --use-compress-program=/bin/compress -f - %s:T_REG|TDIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+COMPRESS
: : :.tar.gz:/bin/tar -c --use-compress-program=/bin/gzip -f - %s:T_REG|T_DI:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+GZIP

the --use-compress-program will indicate the right paths

Warning: Of course these only will work for anonymous ftp
because of the chroot i.e. tar will be able to find a /bin/gzip

But for real users WITHOUT the chroot("/home/ftp"), ...
I doubt you have under /bin (realpath) Gnu Tar and gzip.

If you want to make work for real and anonymous

1-
Take a look at Koos's wu-ftpd FAQ, he explains how to set up a pipe
to alleviate this problems and use plain tar.

2-
recreate the hierachie under /home/ftp
i.e
/home/ftp/usr/local/gnu/bin/{gzip,tar}
with the necessary libs if no statically link

3-
do nothing ;-)
one type, real or anonymous depending on ftpconversions, will not be able to do

get dir.tar.gz

Is it possible to set wu-ftp to ignore case for the filename, so when user
do a "get filename", both upper and lower case are identical. I can't
find this in the FAQ, so any help will be much appreciated.

well, it does not come with a "/etc/shells" file but it uses it when
available and certainly, ftp requires it. You will have to create it
and put in it all the shells your real-ftp users are using, ie.

> cd /etc
> touch shells
> chmod 644 shells
> chown root shells
> chgrp other shells

then edit it and append the following shell files (one shell file per
line)

> more /etc/shells
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/ksh
/bin/jsh
/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/jsh
/bin/false

remember to also include an 'ftponly' shell or '/bin/false' if you plan to
have users with ftp access and login sessions dissabled (ie no telnet... )

hope this helps. miquel

Hi There

I have what I think is a very easy question. We have just been
connected onto the net and have wu-ftp working fine. The only thing
is that when a machine not on our local net tries to 'ftp' to us they
get the following :-

421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

First guess.. tcpd disallowed the ftp connection.

Better guesses by telnetting to the ftp port and seeing if there's any
error or checking the syslog.

This error is generated by the ftp client when the ftp server closes the
connection unexpected.

Subject: Solaris 2 getcwd() bug
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Strictly speaking, this isn't a wu-ftpd problem, but it bit me on our FTP
server so I thought I'd mention it here.

In Solaris 2.5.1 (probably older versions too, but I'm not sure), the getcwd()
library call is broken. getcwd() is supposed to stat each directory from "."
up to "/", determining the directory name at each level, building up the full
pathname for your current directory. It's supposed to just stat each
directory in the path, *not* any other directories. If you do a getcwd() on
an NFS-mounted partition however, it lstat()'s every file in your parent
directory!

We use the same machine for both anonymous and regular FTP services. The anon
FTP files are on a local disk, but user's home directories are served over NFS
from a SunOS 4 host. We recently upgraded our FTP server machine from SunOS 4
to Solaris 2.5.1. When we did this, we discovered that some users were
getting a 2-3 minute delay when they logged in. Anonymous FTP worked fine,
and some users got logged in with no delay, but for other users the delay was
so long that their FTP clients timed out before they got logged in.

Turns out that ftpd does a getcwd() after it logs the user in (which is
sensible). For a user with an NFS-mounted home directory, this caused the
program to lstat() about 2,000 NFS-mounted directories, which was the source
of the delay. It only lstat()ed directories until it found the one it was
looking for, so if your directory came up quickly in the list you wouldn't
even notice the problem, but for others there was a long wait.

The fix was to grab the getcwd() code from GNU LibC, rip out some of the
glibc-specific stuff, and link it with ftpd via the support library. Doing a
"pwd" in someone's home directory from that machine still takes 2 minutes
(haven't had the guts to replace /bin/pwd yet), but in our case there aren't
any shell logins allowed on that machine so it's not important.

I hope this helps someone somewhere. Maybe wu-ftpd should throw a getcwd()
into the distribution for use on Solaris machines.

Oh, by the way, Sun has this bug listed in SunSolve, and they've acknowledged
it, but they don't have a patch. They say it only affects you if you're
talking to an NFS V2 server (i.e. SunOS 4). But the problem is in the
getcwd() code, not NFS. Perhaps NFS V3 does something to lessen the impact of
getcwd()'s bogus behavior, but it's still bogus.

As a rule if you don't have your ftpaccess file or tcpd wrappers setup
to allow access from the outside world you will get the error message.
For tcpd wrappers check host.allow and host.deny and for your ftpaccess
make sure that you have the right options in for what you want to do.
Make sure the top lines in your ftpaccess file allow for logins from
outside. There is an example ftpaccess file with the source of the
wu-ftpd.

Hope this helps.

Rick,
You will find examples of these files in the wutfp kit.
Look in docs/examples subdirectory of where you uncompressed the kit. You
can then copy the files and edit to suit your needs.

I have a Solaris 2.5 machine running wu-ftp 2.4 beta 11. My machine
exhibits the same behaviour (taking forever to log someone in, so long
that sometimes their client times out). This seems to happen to most
people, but doesn't happen to everyone. This is on a Sparc 20 with
nothing else to do and only 1 or 2 people logging in at a time. I am on
a 56k frame relay link.

Hi everybody,

I have a problem with wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11 I didn't encounter with
wu-ftpd-2.4. All configurations and binaries files are in /local/etc. I
changed
src/pathnames.h of wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11 according to this :

#define _PATH_FTPUSERS "/local/etc/ftpusers"
#define _PATH_FTPACCESS "/local/etc/ftpaccess"
#define _PATH_CVT "/local/etc/ftpconversions"
#define _PATH_PRIVATE "/local/etc/ftpgroups"

I checked with bin/ckconfig that /local/etc/ftpaccess is actually used. In
/local/etc/ftpaccess, I have : banner /local/etc/msgs/banner which contains a
banner. However, this banner is not displayed with wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11
server while it is with wuftpd-2.4 server. With 'strings wu-ftpd', I can see
that /local/etc/ftpaccess is used however.

Any idea about this problem ? Thanks in advance for your help. Gildas.

yes the validate_eaddr(char *passwd) is very weak.
But there is not limit on the user part off the passwd
so
'12345678910@'
will work fine but on the ortherhand
'1234567@x'
will give you a warning.
It will not accept a hostname of only one character ;-)
that's why
'123456@s'
is giving you warnings but
[email protected]
will work fine.

Furthermore, suppose you have ftpd running on machine foo.bar.com
you are on machine foo.bar.com you loggin to ftp as anonymous
giving a passwd like
'joe@foo'
Ftpd will give you a warning and even log you out if you had 'enforce' ;-)
but
'[email protected]'
or
'joe@'
or
'[email protected]'
will work fine. Just take a look at the src in ftpd.c you will see
what I mean.

> Anyone seen this before and know what the fix is?

none that I know of, aside from rewriting validate_eaddr()
or simply advertise to your clients
'username@'
just with the '@' nothing else after

BTW, if you decide to rewrite validate_eaddr() be a gentleman...
send me a patch ;-)

cheers,

Are you sure you're running ftpd with the -a option? It doesn't actually
read ftpaccess otherwise...

read the FAQ...
<URL:http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html>

it says:

8. Running wu-ftpd

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

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

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

All:

I have wuftp 2.4(3) installed on a Dec Alpha 2100 running DUnix 3.2b.
The server will permitt anonymous logins just fine, but will not allow
authenticated username/password pairs in. I have applied the osf-patch and
copied the /etc/sia directory into the FTP directory. Neither of these has
worked.

The whole idea behind using WUFTP was to prevent users from retreiving
the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files (as well as other files they dont

Try adding a "-a" to the end of the line for ftp in /etc/inetd.conf.

This is documented in the various README/INSTALL files in the distribution,
but apparentsly you have not read them.

Hi there. I'm hoping somebody can help me with my problem. Here's what I want to do: ftp to my anonymous ftp server but log
in using a specific userid and password (non-anonymous) yet have the ftpd do the
chroot and other good stuff that wuftpd provides. So I believe I need to setup
a guestgroup in my wu-ftpd server.

I'm trying to follow the guest-howto page but after ftping in as the user, I do
a 'pwd' and it didn't say '/', instead it had the full path of the user's home
directory and I was able to cd back to other directories that I shouldn't have
access to. So there is something wrong in my setup. I have some questions
about the guest-howto:

1. step 1 says to make changes to /etc/passwd, /etc/group and add
entries to /etc/ftpaccess.

question: Are you referring to the actual system /etc/passwd
and group files? So there's going to be 2 passwd and
group files (one for the system and one in the
userid's home directory/etc/, correct?)

Also, I don't have 'ftponly'. Could I use
/bin/false or /bin/true instead? I only want this user
to ftp, no telnet, etc.

2. step 2 says to compile the source to use /etc/ftpaccess by default or
to run the daemon with the -a option.

question: Since I can't compile the source, how do I run the
daemon with the -a option? Can I force it to
run with the -a option in /etc/inetd.conf?

Now for the /etc/ftpaccess file. Mine currently looks
like this:

********* start of ftpaccess file ***************

class anonymouses anonymous *
class guests guest *.bmc.com,*.peer.com
CLASS LOCAL REAL,GUEST *.BMC.COM,*.PEER.COM
class all real,guest,anonymous *

do I need to change the upload lines?

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

Hi,

I am trying to do something similar(?) to this also with no luck. We
need the ability for a real user to ftp and be given a specific path
as "/". They would need the capability to "cd /Down/Deeper" within
the path they are assigned, but not be able to do a "cd ../higher"
or "cd /somewhere/else". Has anyone listening implemented this
scenario and if so be willing to instruct me on how to set it up?

Thanks in advance,

HI,

I'm not sure this is the right address I should be asking technical questions.
But if it's not, please point me in the right direction. I need some help
setting up guestgroups in my wuftpd server, I read through the guest-howto web
page but it didn't work.

The actual /etc/passwd. Yes -- there are 2 /etc/passwd files. The one in
the ftp tree should be stripped of all non essential data, as covered in
the howto.

****** Make sure the /./ is at the end of the path in the user's account
in /etc/passwd. This is indicated in the howto, and that is what
determines where the chroot is done. If you are seeing a full path, then
the chroot is not being done properly.

/etc/ftponly should not exist. Just put "/etc/ftponly" in /etc/shells and
as the shell on the guest user's account in /etc/passwd.

Should be sufficient to run with -a in /etc/inetd.conf; the ftp line in
inetd.conf should look something like this:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/wu.ftpd -a -t300

Should be okay if I've not missed some detail.

> Question: what is the 'path-filter guest /etc/pathmsg ...' ???
> is my class set right?

Set path-filter to the following:

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

> is the 'guestgroup' line correct ? I don't understand why it was

"guestgroup guests" assumes the existence of a group "guests" in
/etc/group. The howto assumes and demonstrates a group of "clients" in
/etc/group. Looks like you've got it set right.

> do I need to change the upload lines?

upload /bmc/local/data/guest /pub yes guest guest 0644 dirs

Just understand that with the above line uploaded files will be created
with ownership and group of "guest.guest". You may not want that, so
change the "guest guest" part to be a user and group on your system that
you want.

Hope this gets you operational,

I actually got a setup like this working yesterday (on a Solaris 2.4
system). The tricky part (and the only thing I noticed wrong with your
general procedure) is in the "guestgroup" line of ftpaccess -- don't use
commas to separate the group names, only spaces. For example, you would
want the line to look like this in your ftpaccess:

guestgroup guests part19 x3t3

Also, you'll need to add these guest groups (and your guest users) to the
actual system group (and passwd) files, not the ones under the ftp
directory.

I hope this helps.

I don't have an ANSI C compiler on my HP-UX system, and we really want to
avoid the (ridiculous) charges for purchasing HP's ANSI compiler. So, does
anyone know where I could get a free ANSI C compiler or where I can get a
gcc version of wu-ftpd?

Two problems I have after installing wuftp on Solaris x86 2.5:

1. /var/adm/messages is filled with the msg:

Sep 19 17:01:47 ftp3 ftpd[18503]: open of pid file failed: No such file
or directory

and

Sep 19 17:01:43 ftp3 inetd[103]: /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserverd: Child
Status Changed

These two messages seem to be related.

2. Directory listing ('ls' or 'dir') dosen't show anything even tho'
directory is read-able (mode 755).

Pointer to any clues is greatly appreciated. If there a FAQ about
wu-ftp somewhere---pointer to that is also greatly appreciated.

Thanks

wu-ftpd wants to keep a collection of status files. Check the installation
h files.

Hmmm.. tooltalk and wu-ftpd should not be interacting.

Has anyone managed to successfully compile wu-ftpd-2.4 under Irix 5.3?
I'm having problems, and if anyone could help by providing it
pre-compiled for me, that would be great.

I don't think you need a special version, gcc is a ANSI complient c
compiler, just do the bootstrap compile of it using your old compiler and
then build wu-ftp.

I am trying to setup VWU-FTP with BSD/OS 2.1. I use the build command
with the bsd argument and the compiling seems to go fine, but when I try
to run the ckconfig program I get a message that the executable is for
the wrong architecture. Also, I noticed that the ftpd, and the rest of
the programs are much much larger than the original WU-FTP programs that
came with the BSD/OS v2.1. Does anyone have VWU-FTP running under BSD/OS
v2.1 and if so how were you able to compile it and do you have any tips
on setting it up? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi all,

I took Michael Brennans suggestion an acquired the guest-howto. I
followed it the best I could. Still no luck. I get a "530 Access
Denied" message before being prompted for my password. I feel I really
need some hand-holding. The following is my 'ftpaccess' file.

***************** Start of ftpaccess ******************

class local real,guest *.mcgraw-hill.com

limit all 10 Any /etc/msgs/msg.dead

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

compress no local remote
tar no local remote

log commands real
log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound

shutdown /usr/local/etc/shutmsg

***********End of ftpaccess *******************

Don't assume I have done everything in the guest-howto correctly, but
I think I did.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Setup: Linux 2.0.4, Wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11.

According To the VIRTUAL_FTP_SUPPORT documentation:

virtual 10.10.10.10 root /var/ftp/virtual/ftp-serv
virtual 10.10.10.10 banner /var/ftp/virtual/ftp-serv/banner.msg
virtual 10.10.10.10 logfile /var/log/ftp/virtual/ftp-serv/xferlog

In that order when someone ftp's, instead of the banner appearing the
log file entries are scrolled onto the screen. In other words ftp takes
the logfile as being the banner. Reversing the banner/logfile order
solves this problem.

Removing the banner line causes the same problem.

Any thoughts on this....

Got it working here without any problems on Linux 1.2.13. Maybe your
setup is not quite correct.

I now have the ftpd working but have a question:

The ftpd (server) process is helpful where clients logon to the server and
put/get files (we use the tranfer logging option). However, what happens if
they use the ftp client (on the UNIX server) to log on to a remote server to
get/put files. How can I log these transfers.

I inherited a linux server from a friend of mine at work that runs
wu-ftpd. Anonymous ftp works fine, but I can't get it to allow "real"
users to save my life. Since I never seemed to get anywhere
troubleshooting this problem, I decided to recompile wu-ftpd.

I downloaded wu-ftpd-2.4, edited pathnames.h, confirmed the existence of
/etc/shells, ran 'build lnx' and got zero. Here's what it looked like:

----- snip! -----

bash# build lnx
make args are :
make opts are :

Linking Makefiles.
ln: Makefile: File exists
ln: config.h: File exists
ln: Makefile: File exists

Making support library.

----- snip! -----

This may be more of a 'make' question than a 'wu-ftpd' one, but if anyone
could help me out I'd *really* appreciate it.

While we await SSL-wu-ftpd, I'm curious if anyone out there is aware
of any _commercial_ solutions for secure FTP (client and server ... multi-
platform).

You need to get a newer version (from ftp.academ.com). This bug in the
Linux makefiles was fixed some beta-versions ago.

This will also fix other bugs that where in the source codes.

Do we really need secure ftp when tools like ssh (Secure Shell) are
available? The encryption options of ssh are probably better than
that available with SSL, scp allows automatic gzip compression of the
data stream, and it's as easy to use as the cp command.

Yes. I don't allow shell access of *any* kind to my servers. I use ssh
for remote admin maintainence, but I don't allow client access at all via
ssh, only guest ftp.

Depending on the resources at your client's end, you could establish an ssh
connetion to proxy ftp between you and your client. That should provide you
with a pretty high degree of security. Of course, if they're using a mac,
aren't willing to upgrade their systems, or aren't concerned about security,
then they're not going to do it.

It would be reasonably easy to allow scp without allowing ssh or
slogin (the most difficult part is probably getting the public keys of
the remote systems on the server).

Just client guest ftp login won't do you any good. In fact, if sendmail
is not configured correctly (e.g. smrsh is not used, or worse, procmail
is employed) a smart user can gain as much done as with a shell access,
of course, with more effort.

Or, really even worse, if you have something like Microsoft FrontPage installed
since in its current form, most likely the server needs to run with the UID
of root, all hell break loose. However, many ISPs, large or small, even
they do use guest FTP login for *security*, they support FrontPage and user
CGI, which defeats the entire purpose of security completely.

Among the web hosting business, such joke sites are plenty. Many of them
are set up with such a lame security that their entire site can be wiped
out in minutes.

Interestingly, CERT has never said anything about Microsoft FrontPage
being a security threat. It spends most effort/time on obscure stuff
that only experts can *take advantage* of (really experts never care
about cracking systems, so this is a moot point :(

It's an unhealthy trend, but hey,... that's business.

Could someone give me information on where I can download the source
for Virtual wu-ftpd for use on a BSD/OS 2.1 system. Thanks.

It would greatly circumvent security if users could exec any binary in their
homedir. You need to set FTP_EXECPATH to the directory of binaries that they
may run.

I recently got wu-ftpd 2.4(2) installed on my HP-UX 10.01 system, but now I
don't know what I need to do to get SITE EXEC to work. We have a number of
processes on our mainframe that need to log into the HPUX box, FTP down some
files, and kick off some shell scripts before logging out.

Take this scenario. I have a user tu in group users. In /home/tu, there is
a file tu:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/date >> stamp

When I login via FTP, I just type the following:

ftp> site exec tu

or,

ftp> quote site exec tu

but all I get is the following:

ftp> site exec tu
200-tu
200 (end of 'tu')
ftp>

and nothing changes. I can't see where the file is even accessed. Nor can
I find in the documentation exactly what I need to setup in order for users
to access the system via SITE EXEC commands.

I need to install wu-ftp on a Solaris 2.5 machine. I have never
installed this software before so I would appreciate some pointers.
First of all, where do I actually get the software and documentation?
If anyone has any experience installing wu-ftp on Solaris 2.5 I'd
appreciate hearing your comments/problems/solutions.

Thanks for your help.

You will be able to get the software at
ftp.wustl.edu/packages/wuarchive-ftpd/wu-ftpd-2.4.tar.Z

There is some documentations into it.

Make sure to do a man ftpd as well...there is a script in the man
page which documents how to setup the perms and such...(don't run
the script, but instead use it to figure out the perms for everything)

solaris 2.5 is a pain in the b*tt to get setup with wu-ftpd. :(

Currently there's a guestgroup set up on my wu-ftpd server and I wanted to
create another userid treated as a guestgroup. The first guest userid is called
'guest'. The second guest userid is called 'dummy'. I did what was on the
webpage but when I specified 'dummy' and its unix password, it would fail giving
me an error message. The error message

331 Password required for dummy.
Password:
530-The response 'test' is not valid
530-Please use your e-mail address as your password
530- for example: [email protected] or joe@
530-[saigon.bmc.com will be added if password ends with @]
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.

I would try giving it an email as the password and then I'm in and it did chroot
me to the right directory.

I read that guest accounts are users who have unique identities with passwords
yet my wu-ftpd server is treating all guestsgroups (userids 'guest' and 'dummy')
as 'anonymous'. Is that working as designed? Can somebody post what's a
typical ftpaccess file for anonymous and guestgroups?

Thanks, Thuy

Also,

'dummy' is in /etc/passwd and its group is in /etc/group and the entries are in
their home directory/etc/passwd and group files. 'dummy's group is different
from the anonymous user's group. 'dummy's group is also part of the
'guestgroup' directive in the ftpaccess file.

Two comments:

1) Wuarchive (a.k.a. ftp.wustl.edu) is down, and probably will be for the
rest of the week. We're moving from the old DEC to a new Sun Enterprise
2, but the transition has been anything but smooth. So if you're looking
for the vanilla 2.4, you'll have to go to one of the mirror sites.

2) I think the new 2.4.2 betas have cleaned up a lot of installation
problems on Solaris 2.x (although it's still pretty rough, I'm told). So
you'd probably be better off grabbing the new betas from ftp.academ.com
rather than trying to work with the old vanilla 2.4.

Just a suggestion.

Bill, I mentioned above "Commerical" solutions. The application

Wuftp is the wrong list for this. Ask on news.nntp.software

Subject: question regarding upload
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello,

I installed wuftp 2.4 on a Sun running Solaris 2.3. I am trying to use the
upload feature of ftpaccess to set the owner and group of the files
being uploaded. The problem I am having is that the files or directory
are created with wrong permissions.

Extract from my ftpaccess :

upload /export/home/users/ftp * no
upload /export/home/users/ftp / no
upload /export/home/users/ftp /sqm_gst yes sqm_out staff 0400
upload /export/home/users/ftp /sqm_out yes sqm_out staff 0400 dirs
upload /export/home/users/ftp /bin no
upload /export/home/users/ftp /dev no
upload /export/home/users/ftp /etc no
upload /export/home/users/ftp /usr no

ftp ftp

ftp> pwd
257 "/export/home/users/ftp/sqm_out" is current directory.

ftp> ls -l

Am I doing something invalid?

HELP!

First impressions:
1-
Where is /lib/* in Ftp dir tree ?
if they are missing is it because everything in
/bin/* is statically link ??
else
well you need them
use ldd to figure out wath you need

2-
Jut a comment, you say System --> SunOS 4.1.4
then there is no need for /dev/tcp.
It is needed for SunOS 5.x because the socket
implementation is base on STREAMS

3-

just in case you're using SunOS-5.x

/dev/tcp has to be (crw-rw-rw-) 666 not (crw-r--r--)

if the permission is not correct you will have those
nasty
"420 Can't ..."

4-
You're not running this setup in binary compatibilty mode aren't you ?
(I'm saying this because of /dev/tcp)

5-
test the ls on the command line

chroot /ftp bin/ls users

see the errors

6-
....
Sorry that's all ;-)

7-
good luck

7. The default umask used when a real user uploads a file is
wrong

The default umask is inherited from inetd. This can be a
wrong one. There is an undocumented command line parameter
-u. Edit the line in inetd.conf to something like ftpd -A
-L -l -u077.

hope it helps

Hello,

I installed the generic wu-ftp on our Solaris 2.5 server. Initially
it ran fine, but then I was getting various access problems having to
do with the ftpaccess file. I ultimately ended up getting and compiling
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11.tar.gz from:

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

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

Also, there very well may be a newer release as I got it in July.

After I did install the new version everything worked properly including
my ftpaccess configuration. The problem I originally saw was:

ftp gets do not work. puts work fine. Has to do with specifying
the use of ftpaccess.

Below are the steps I used with the original compile and the second
compile. ( I am running gcc 2.7.2, bind 4.9.x, and sendmail 8.7.x):

0 - run ftp.anon.shell script (modified for our site)
this sets up the directory structure
1 - untar the src files
2 - untar the fix kit over src files
3 - edit src/pathnames.h for correct paths
4 - edit top level makefile for install target directories
5 - manually create all install target directories
6 - updated /usr/include/netdb.h with the following:

/*
* The following added here by RPR - Fri May 10 16:34:07 PDT 1996
* This is for programs (such as wu-ftpd) that expect to find it here
*/
#define MAXHOSTNAMELEN 256

7 - edit src/makefiles/Makefile.sol - add -DPARANOID and -DANON-ONLY
to CFLAGS line
8 - ./build sol
9 - ./build install
10 - create initial access and message files for ftp (NO shutmsg!)
11 - copy compress to ~ftp/bin
12 - created /public/ftp/pub/incoming and outgoing dirs, set permissions
13 - created a /etc/shells file
14 - updated permissions on ~ftp/bin ~ftp/bin/* ~ftp/etc to 111
15 - updated /etc/inetd.conf with the new path to ftpd
16 - restarted inetd
17 - tested configuration - confirmed upload/downloads, etc.
18 - created ftpaccess and ftpconversions files

To then compile wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11.tar.gz:

1 - left src/pathnames.h as defaults
2 - edit config.h and added -DPARANOID and -DONON-ONLY cflags
3 - edit top level makefile for install target directories
4 - edit support/Makefile to change CC to gcc
5 - edit src/makefiles/Makefile.sol - change CC to gcc
6 - mkdir /opt/man/man1m
7 - ./build sol
8 - ./build install
9 - edited /etc/inetd.conf for the new path to in-ftpd:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /opt/bin/in.ftpd /opt/bin/in.ftpd -a

8 - copied /opt/etc/ftpaccess (old file) to new location /etc
9 - copied /opt/etc/ftpconversions (old file) to new location /etc
10 - restarted inetd (kill -1 117)

The only problem I have seen since is:

ftpd was trying to write to /usr/adm/wtmp which did not exist
(/var/adm/wtmp) so I linked /var/adm to /usr/adm

Hope this helps,

Rodney

Dear Rodney,

I tried to install the w3u-ftpd on a Solaris-2.5-System, too.
Sometimes anon-users have problems to get some files. Last week, a user tried
to get a file over one of his providers and he could not get it. So he phoned
to me, to ask why he could not get the file. While phoning with him, I tried
to get it as anon-user and I could get it. So I asked him to try it once
again, but his attempt failed again. So he phoned me once again and said that
he would try another provider to get the file from our ftp-server. So he tried
to get the file over his account at CI$ (no advertisement ;-) and he got it.
I think it was not a question of the choice of the provider. But I don't have
any ideas why suddenly he could get the file.
Now I have read your mail regarding the wu-ftpd's installation and I would
like to recompile the wu-ftpd.

But I have some questions regarding your installation's description.

Which ftp.anon.shell script do you mean? the shell script described in the
original ftpd man page?

Which fix kit do you mean? I didn't find any fix kit in the source tree :-/

This definition is already done in /usr/include/netdb.h (at the end of that
file) or am I wrong ?

Do you know how to let wu-ftpd write into another file?

Thanks in advance for your reply,

Is there anyway to get connects and disconnects logged anywhere? Preferably
to wtmp or some such file, but anywhere would be fine. I'm using wu-2.4(2).
It is logging file transfers to /var/adm/xferlog, and file deletes to
/var/adm/messages, but no logins/logouts. Did I miss an option somewhere?
I want the logs for real and anonymous users.

Thanks,
Matt

Hello,

I setup wuftpd 2.4.2 beta 11 on AIX 4.1.4 and it works fine.
I wanted to setup a special group of users (real users) who
can upload their files to their own directories WITHOUT seeing
other users directories. In other words, the user home dir
looks as if it is root. I created the froup LIMITGRP and placed
it in the ftpaccess file (guestgroup LIMITGRP), and in the
ftpaccess.heavy file (guestgroup LIMITGRP), and in the ftpgroups file
(LIMITGRP:*:archive).

I got all this to work, but now the users can not see the files
in their own directories.

WHAT DID I DO WRONG???????

I need the users to see what files they have in their own dirs
and still protect them form other users seening their files.

Many thanks!

Amin.

Subject: Putting compress files
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm trying to understand how to transfer compress files
and decompress them on-the-fly on the server. In theory this could be
done in a couple of ways:

1) Instructing the server to decompress the received file:

ftp> !ls
foo.gz
ftp> put foo.gz foo

2) Letting the user to execute gzip on the server from the ftp client.

Is one of these solutions viable? Is there any other way to allow a
user with ftp but without shell access to the server, to transfer
compressed files and decompress them on the server?

Thanks,

tito.

Hello,

I setup wuftpd 2.4.2 beta 11 on AIX 4.1.4 and it works fine.
I wanted to setup a special group of users (real users) who
can upload their files to their own directories WITHOUT seeing
other users directories. In other words, the user home dir
looks as if it is root. I created the froup LIMITGRP and placed
it in the ftpaccess file (guestgroup LIMITGRP), and in the
ftpaccess.heavy file (guestgroup LIMITGRP), and in the ftpgroups file
(LIMITGRP:*:archive).

I got all this to work, but now the users can not see the files
in their own directories.

WHAT DID I DO WRONG???????

I need the users to see what files they have in their own dirs
and still protect them form other users seening their files.

Many thanks!

mmm... what OS are you using? just in case you're using Solaris or
something close enough: to record all ftp daemon activity you can
add the following lines to the /etc/syslog.conf file,

[lines removed]

#
# 07/03/95
# after Sun Managers FAQ - enable syslogd for ftpd
#
daemon.info /var/adm/syslog

[lines removed]

of course, you can change /var/adm/syslog to the file you prefer. Those
are the last lines from our syslog file (so you can have a taste of what
it will contain)

sorry,

i forgot to mention that you will have to 'kill -HUP' the syslog daemon
so that it re-reads the configuration file and changes take place, i.e.
(in Solaris 2.5.1)

> ps -ef | grep 'syslog'
root 133 1 0 Aug 24 ? 0:22 /usr/sbin/syslogd
miquel 5804 5780 1 21:18:58 pts/0 0:00 grep syslog

> kill -HUP 133

now this should be enough. miquel

I have precisely this configuration installed (Solaris 2.5) and indeed
Bob is correct, even a real user can't mkdir.

But after applying his patch I discovered that the anonymous user
could now mkdir in the upload directory (despite having "nodirs", and
then potentially use that directory as a pass-thru.

I backed out the patch and made sure that the original code did not allow
mkdir in the upload directory (it didn't).

I think this patch does fix the original problem, but it re-opens the
old pass-thru security hole, or a new flavor of it.

Can anyone else corroborate (or dispute) my findings?

You're right. The problem is a bit of code that says:

> /* CERT suggested fix (change && to || ) */
> if ( (!strcmp(ARG0, pw->pw_dir)) ||
> ((i = path_compare(ARG1, cwdir)) >= match_value) ) {
> match_value = i;

which short-circuits the if clause and "i" is never set, so the match_value
never records a match.

I note the following from FIXES-2.4.2-BETA-9:

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

Was this && to || change a result of this? I don't know what actually
changed in the code for BETA-9. It appears to me that this is the wrong
way to fix this problem, and the correct way is to put that back to &&
and actually do the match_value checking per my patch.

What was going on here? Why was this changed?

Subject: Statically linked ls on Sol x86 2.5
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm trying to compile a statically linked version of ls (with gnu
fileutils 3.13) on Solaris x85 2.5 w/ gcc, and everytime anything
in the src directory is compiled, I get the following error:

gcc -o chgrp chgrp.o ../lib/libfu.a -lintl -lgen
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
_nl_msg_cat_cntr chgrp.o
dcgettext__ chgrp.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to chgrp
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `chgrp'
Current working directory /opt/work/fileutils-3.13/src
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive'
Current working directory /opt/work/fileutils-3.13
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive-hack'

Note: I have -static in the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS. Any clues to get this
compiled properly would be greatly appreciated.

If there's a statically linked version of ls for Sol x86 somewhere,
I would appreciated if you can point it out, I would appreciate
that as well.

Fail that, if anyone has guest ftp set up where they can do an 'ls -l' or
'dir' with no problem on Sol x86, I like to know about it.

Many Thanks.

it works fine for me with sol2.5 on a sparc 5 clone...the key is
getting everything setup correctly...i had the same problem as you
before everything was setup correctly...

Hello

I would like to compile wuftpd on my Sun Sparc 20 running sunos4.1.3.
I do not have gcc or acc. I just have cc. Does anyone know of a way
to compile wuftpd using cc or an easy way to get gcc.

I downloaded the source for gcc 2.7.2.1 and attempted to compile it.
I was able to get through most the the compile process however I was
not able to complete the install since I was missing a "makeinfo"
command.

Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I have just compiled (without apparent errors) wu-ftpd 2.4.2-beta.11 on a
Solaris 2.4 P90 with -DVIRTUAL in the Makefiles. I have place entries in
ftpaccess for a test site.

When I ftp to the test site, I still get login'ed and banners as if on the
primary machine.

Am I missing something?

Too, where are the archives (searchable if possible) for this mailing list
so i can avoid most of these Stupid Newbie Questions?

(Seems strange to call myself a newbie, just haven't had a call for virtual
FTP before).

Banners have a special "virtual" command in the ftpaccess file
for each virtual host. For example:

> virtual 204.182.162.46 banner /opt/ftpd/bobtest.intelenet.net/banner

As far as login comments and error messages, etc., I have a patch! :-)

I added a new "virtual" command to set the hostname, so that you
can say:

> virtual 204.182.162.46 hostname bobtest.intelenet.net

in the ftpaccess file and the login prompts, etc. would use the
hostname listed.

I can't seem to reproduce this on FreeBSD 2.1.5 with beta-11 or on Linux
RedHat 3.0.3 with beta-9.
The following is a part of one of my ftpaccess files:

# uploads to incoming only, ownership of files will be root.daemon,
# permisssions will be 0400 and no directory creation is allowed
upload /home/ftp * no
upload /home/ftp incoming yes root daemon 0400 nodirs

With this I'm unable to create dirs in /home/ftp as user ftp, but
I can create dirs as a 'real' user somewhere else. Is that behavior
impossible with your configuration?

Bingo! Didn't see that in the docs. Must have been wearing my blinders.

If you don't have a TeX installation, then don't kill yourself; just comment
out the parts of the makefile that try to build the info files. From
my gcc Makefile, I'd say just blank out the "doc" entry in your makefile.

I'm using FreeBSD 2.1.5 with beta 11 and i do get the problem.
While i only had entries in ftpaccess to allow directories, it
worked, but as soon as i put a nodirs entry in, nobody could create
directories.
Have tried putting all dirs entries first and nodirs second and vice
versa with no luck. As soon as there is a nodirs flag in the file, no
one can create directories. Still looking for a workaround ...

hi everybody,
I have compiled wu-ftpd 2.4 for AIX 4.1 with gcc2.7.0
I have removed realpath() (comes with gcc) and reordered ftpcmd.c to
avoid some problems.
When the daemon is running no real user has access the server is shuting down
after getting the name but its working with user ftp.
I guess there is some problem with the login on AIX, does some has an patch
handy ?

I found that reversing the CERT "advice" to change && to || as well
as applying Bob Myers patch solved the problem. This did not open
any obvious security holes, but perhaps it opens a non-obvious one.

Bob Myers patch, without reversing the CERT advised change, clearly
allows mkdir in "upload" directories under at least one configuration.

The question is whether CERT's "advice" was based on someone's very
careful analysis, or someone's stab in the dark. I personally have not
looked closely enough at this code to say anything more.

I've been experimenting a bit.. six cases with different ftpaccess files.
This is on FreeBSD 2.1.5 with wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11.
I tried creating directories and uploading files as a 'real' user to a
homedirectory and creating directories and uploading files as an anon user
in an incoming directory in ~ftp
Take your pick:

Case 1:
upload /home/ftp * no
upload /home/ftp incoming yes root daemon 0400 dirs

Real users can upload and create directories
Anon users cannot upload but can create directories (but not delete them)

Case 2:
upload /home/ftp * no
upload /home/ftp incoming yes root daemon 0400 nodirs

Real users can upload and create directories
Anon users cannot upload and cannot create directories

Case 3:
upload /home/ftp incoming yes root daemon 0400 dirs

Real users can upload and create directories
Anon users can upload and create directories

Case 4:
upload /home/ftp incoming yes root daemon 0400 nodirs

Real users can upload and cannot create directories
Anon users can upload and cannot create directories

Case 5:
no upload lines

Real users can upload and create directories
Anon users can upload and create directories

Case 6:
/home/ftp * no
/home/ftp /incoming yes root daemon 0400 nodirs

Real users can upload and create directories
Anon users can upload and cannot create directories

In your case, I guess you want Case 6. The / before incoming makes the
difference.

Thanks for your suggestion. It took me a few attempts to get it right
but I finally have a gcc object. I haven't used it yet to see if it
works but I do appreciate your suggestion. It was a big help!!!!

Thanks again.

If you don't have a TeX installation, then don't kill yourself; just comment
out the parts of the makefile that try to build the info files. From
my gcc Makefile, I'd say just blank out the "doc" entry in your makefile.

I can't get wu-ftp (non-beta) version to compile under IRIX 6.2.
I have several questions:

- Is there a wu-ftp FAQ somewhere that isn't out of date? The one I
found on yahoo claims that the newest wu-ftp is available on wuarchive,
but I can't find it there.
- Where can I find the newest wu-ftp (beta)
- Anyone get wu-ftp to compile under 6.2?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

My PC with the bookmark to the source for wu-ftpd is getting repaired.
Could someone send me an address where I could download wu-ftpd?

Running wu-ftpd on Solaris 2.5.1 x-86, I have the following ftp access
file. I can do uploads to /thebook/incoming, but the files endup being owned by the
"ftp" user and not "thebook". The user "thebook" has a password in the
REAL machine /etc/passwd, I did not create a separate password file in
the /pub/ftp/etc.

Haven't seen the FAQ for wu-ftpd, is there a web site for one?

# specify the upload directory information
upload /pub/ftp * no
upload /pub/ftp /thebook/incoming yes thebook www 0600 dirs
