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.

....

Hope this help.

I was investigation the failing of wu-ftpd on AIX4.1
1. the server closed down after login
is_shutdown() gets a wrong time
after i disabled the timing part it worked better
if Shutdown[] is not properly initialised it causes sometimes
trouble
2. the ftp-users dirs seems to be empty
It look like the ftpd_popen() produces an empty output
I realy didnt understand way, hope the documentation for
AIX will come soon.

Betreff: IRIX compile problems

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- Is there a wu-ftp FAQ somewhere that isn't out of date?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.

Read The FXXX Docs

sigh ... I know I'm not being very helpfull
but maybe you should check a Unix Admin. book
or a good start will be:

"Managing Internet Information Services": O'reilly

OR EVEN BROWSE THROUGH THE FAQ !!!!!
would have give you good pointers.

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

#ifdef FLAME
higher a consultant :-)
#else
for what is worth Linux boxes are usually pre-setup
check in /etc/inetd.conf to see if the path for
ftpd is ok and try to connect.

i.e: do
ftp localhost

You maybe suprise :)

I don't think this list it's a place for Flame wars.. but
if you expect people to help you, you should do a little
on your part ... Don't you agree ?

I'll be happy to help(if I can) for specific wu-ftpd questions

Sorry folks, letting out some steam at the end of the day.

We have a user here need to upload html files frequently. She is
on the other side of the Net. Very often, her upload would be half
way complete, and she receives an error message about "non-blocking
call" on her Win95 ftp client. And the uploaded file only has the
partial content. I am pretty sure this is not a WuFTPD probelm, since
no other user is having this problem upload across the Net to us. Did
anyone see something like this?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.1.2
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I was wondering if anyone know how to use a chroot() function in wu-ftpd so
that user's logging in had a path of / rather than a directory. I know that
the user 'ftp' has that function.. but I'm not sure how to go about doing
it. I did however, try to add to the 'ftpaccess' file but when I logged in,
there were no files.

Thanks

If you want ftpd to do chroot() for other user than 'ftp'

in /etc/passwd
user:<passwd>:100:92:Guest Account:/home/ftp/./user:/etc/ftponly

a chroot("/home/ftp") is done plus a chdir("/user")

because of the chroot a valid file system hierarchy must be provide
(lib/*, dev/* etc ... depend on the OS)

I don't know if that's what you want, but
maybe you should take a look at those links.

<ftp://ftp.fni.com/pub/wu-ftpd/guest-howto>
<http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html>

for more info on how to setup the guestgroup

ftpd.8 is also more than helpfull ;-)

Thanks :)
This is the section from my ftpaccess
-
# specify which group of users will be treated as "guests".
guestgroup ftponly user
-
I'm assuming it wants system groups.. (ftponly isn't technically a group)
Also, the account 'ftp' doesn't belong to any groups.

Any other 'hints'?

Thanks

In your ftpaccess file add:

guestgroup <valid group name from /etc/group>

and, in the password file setup the home directory path like,

/home/./user-dir

The /./ tells chroot to use user-dir as the root directory (/).

Don't forget to add /bin/ftponly (or /bin/true whatever you use for the
ftponly shell) to /etc/shells it tends to be easy to overlook. And on
most systems if you dont have a valid shell, you dont have a login.

All accounts belong to at least one group. Typically, it's the number in
the 4th field of the passwd file.

Why isn't "ftponly" a group on your system if you've put it in the
ftpaccess file? It should be. If it was, your problem would be *half*
solved...

> Any other 'hints'?

Go read the ftpaccess man page - look at the guestgroup section.

When you've done your homework and you still can't get it to work,
*then* ask us.

Yep, got that done.
It is still allowing my to browse directories

I'm runnning BSDi 2.1
This is my passwd/master.passwd entry:
despair# grep brian /etc/*passwd*
/etc/master.passwd:brian:<password>:109:100::0:0:,,,:/usr/home/./brian/:/etc
/ftponly
/etc/passwd:brian:*:109:100:,,,:/usr/home/./brian/:/etc/ftponly
despair#

------
This is my shells entry

despair# grep ftponly /etc/shells
/etc/ftponly
despair#
-------
This is my ftpaccess entry:
despair# grep guestgroup /etc/ftpaccess
guestgroup ftponly user
despair#

-------
I'm assuming the guestgroup is supposed to be a group on the server.
the group 'user' is the group that all users belong to.

It still doesnt' work with that setup..
This is wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta-11

Thanks for your help,

Brian

Sorry, I made a mistake. The root directory will be /home and user-dir
is the subdirectory you are placed into when you log in.

Your example will put you in directory /brian when you ftp. So you
should only be able to move up one notch only.
$ pwd
/brian
$ cd ..
$ pwd
/

No, it tells chroot to use /home as the root directory.

With that setup, "brian" should be able to browse any directory under
/usr/home.

Other things to check:
Did you set up inetd.conf calling ftpd with the -a switch? If you don't
start ftpd with -a, it ignores the ftpaccess file.

Is it possible having done all this to let a person read his
directory, and if so how ? I have set all this up and it works except
for the fact that none of the guests can list their directories, yet
I want them to maintain them themselves i.e clearing old files and
the like.

Thanks.

Is it possible to use the put command to convert a file (for example
compress) ?

ftp> put Rconnect.c.Z
Rconnect.c.Z: No such file or directory
ftp> get Rconnect.c.Z
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for /bin/compress.
226 Transfer complete.
local: Rconnect.c.Z remote: Rconnect.c.Z
2443 bytes received in 0.018 seconds (1.3e+02 Kbytes/s)
ftp>=20

Here is an extract from my ftpconversions file :

:.Z: : :/bin/compress -d -c %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:UNCOMPRESS
: : :.Z:/bin/compress -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:COMPRESS

Any suggestions or idea will be appreciated

Thanks

Have a detailed look at the guest howto below, and pay attention to how
the 'ls' command is set up in each guest directory.

This is the location for the latest wu-ftpd. You can't see the
directory contents, but get the file anyway. It's there.

You got it mix 'Thierry'
The Compression and Decompression on the fly is _only_ done
for downloading _not_ uploading

--------------------
ftp>ls
file1 file2.Z

ftp>get file1.Z

ftpd will compress data according to ftpconversions

ftp>get file2

ftpd will uncompress data according to ftpconversions

and of course ftpaccess has
class all real,guest,anonymous *
..
compress yes all
tar yes all
..

--------------------
doing this

put file file.Z

will do nothing except rename file on the remote server to file.Z
Obviously not what you want :)

I don't know of any patch for {DE,}compression on the fly when _uploading_

I have setup my guestusers and they login and deposit their file
alright. I would like them to maintain their chroot directories and
this neccesitates them being able to read their directories. Is there
any way of enabling this for a guestgroup ?? This is what my
ftpaccess file looks like. Any suggestions welcome. I am using
BSDI2.0.

Sorry, I forgot to mention, my guestusers home dirs are not under the
ftp directory. I am using a different subtree /home/users .

#ifdef SHORT_ANSWER

make available a statically version of 'ls' under
/home/users/bin/ls

#elsif LONG_ANSWER

what Michael Brennen was saying is that under /home/users
You must have a correct file system with
/home/users/lib/*
/home/users/dev/*
etc ..

see the docs in Michael emails for more info

#else DEBUG

one sure way to see if 'ls' is ok:

chroot /home/users bin/ls

I suppose that ls is under /home/users/bin/ls

#endif

Hello -

I have recently instaled wu-ftpd on our system. I am wondering if there is
a way to set up wu-ftpd so that every user is in the same group yet each is
restricted to different directories. I am finding that it is a pain to
have FTP users in a group which is different from other users who have more
access privelages because file ownership and permissions become a problem.

Thanks for any help

Hello
Not a question just a comment, that I hope will be usefull to
other brave souls who have lost hours of good sleep.

It applies to SunOS-4.1.x, I don't know about
other ARCH (don't have other ARCH :-).

A common mistake(That I do repeatedly) is forgetting to create
the device /dev/zero. The symptom is :

everything else seems to work(get ,put, ...) but ls doesn't show anything.

Usually, it happens when ~ftp/bin/ls is dynamically link. ld.so use mmap()
to map and bind share object at run-time. And mmap() probably
zero-fill the aera with an open("/dev/zero", O_RDWR).

So when you have SunOS and ls doesn't work ... it's a good place
to start investigate.

Hi

I was wondering if anyone out there has had trouble useing Rapid-filer
on a client /guest machine.
The trouble I'm having is the clinet can't see any of the files useing the
rapid filer, but in a ftp session it works fine.

I have the client/guest comming in"blind" where they can't see any dir/files
until they cd up to their directory which contains a mount point for for the files
they need to access.

The file system is mounted as read only and it works fine when the customer/guest
ftp in

Help Help

Subject: Guest access problem
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

The other day I got Guest access to work properly in a 'test'
environment. Today I started to set up users in a 'production'
environment. When I define Groups and Users as described in the
'guest-howto', all seems ok. However, when I try to test the
ID's created I receive the following session:

220 mheww2 FTP server (Version wu-2.4(1) Fri Sep 6 13:41:17 EDT 1996)
ready.
User (mheww2.McGraw-Hill.com:(none)): wagcp
331 Password required for wagcp.
Password:
230 User wagcp logged in. Access restrictions apply.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
550 .: Permission denied.

If I then assign the same user to the 'testgroup' and add him to the
~ftp/passwd file, all works correctly.

I guess the real question is what does the ".:" in the 550 message
mean.

Thanks in advance

We're having an odd problem with 2.4.2 beta 11 and Solaris 2.5.1. We're
getting large numbers of root-owned ftpd processes above and beyond our
limit in ftpaccess. Let me illustrate:

# ftpcount
Service class local - 10 users ( 40 maximum)
Service class remote - 300 users (300 maximum)

# ps -ef |grep ftpd |wc -l
393

# ps -ef |grep ftpd |grep root |wc -l
93

As you can see, we have a large number of ftpd processes that are owned by
root and aren't getting counted by ftpcount. The ones that do get counted
are always owned correctly, by user ftp (or a non-anonymous user). If I
go through and kill all of the root-owned ftp processes, they immediately
start to build back up.

Anyone seen this sort of thing before? It's certainly got me stumped...

In your inetd.conf, call ftpd with a "-a" parameter. This parameter has
to be present for the ftpd to read ftpaccess (kind of an odd default
behavior for it -not- to read ftpaccess, but oh well...)

I'm not sure what OS you'r running but, did you run ftpd with a -a switch?
to enable the reading of ftpaccess.

I created some Guest logins to use wu-ftpd. However, they will only
work if I use /bin/csh in the /etc/passwd file as the default shell.
If I try /etc/ftponly or /bin/false, the guest user is denied access
and can not login at all.

Any ideas?

I have recently installed wuftp on our ftp server running DU 3.2C.
I set up a few "guest" users and everything seemd to work fine. Those
users are restricted to their home directories which is what I
wanted. The only thing I can't get to work is when the guest
user does a long listing of their directory within ftp it comes
back with the uid and gid numbers instead of the actual user and
group names on the files. I followed the instructions and created
an etc directory under the users home directory. I put a stipped
down version of the password and group files in the directory
and changed the ownership and permissions on the files to what
the instructions said to do. Is there something else I'm missing?
Does it have anything to do with the /etc/sia/siainitgood file?
If so what is that file and why do I need it?

Thanks in advance,
Colleen Harry

One other thing. The man page for ftpaccess(5) recommends the above
filter. Unfortunately, it will deny all upload attemts, as ^. will of
course match any string where the first character is anything at all :)

Might want to change ^. ^- to ^[-.].*$ or backquote it ^\.

Sounds like you've done it right, and at least ls is working. Are
permissions and ownership such that /etc and the files can be read? Are
the files in the right internal format? Sorry for the pedantic questions,
but at this point the small stuff makes a difference.

I've certainly never heard of this file. Where did you hear about it,
and/or how did it get created?

Hi:

We are running WU-FTPD on our AIX with 176MB memory without problems. We
upgraded from one T1 to two T1's, but can't take advantage of the
bandwidth because if I allow greater than 40 simultaneous anonymous ftp
users everyting seems to choke. Over 40 users a new login may work, but
most often it is so slow as to cause an HTML browser to claim there is no
such directory or file.

Have any of you experienced this behaviour, and found a solution ?

The cpu states are low: .8% system, 0.0% wait, 97% idle
Real memory: 52.5M pros, 15.9M files 107.7M free

well if you want the ls command to map the uid and gid numbers
for strings they must be entries in the passwd file passwd
file for them
i.e
--passwd---
joe:x:100:110:Joe Smith:/where/ever:/bin/ftponly

--group---
me:x:110

then 'ls' will map UID 100 and GID 110 to
joe and me

Bye the they don't have to correspond to real users
i.e what's in the _real_ passwd file.

Yes, you do need the /etc/sia/siainitgood file to display uid/gid
mapping in ls. You may also need a copy of matrix.conf, but I don't think
you have to. The /etc/sia/siainitgood is just an empty file, but it needs
to be there.

For those wondering what this is, its for SIA, Security
Integration Archecture, a part of Digital UNIX. DU gets real picky about
things like that.

To whom it may concern :

First of all, our company would like to thank you for wu_ftpd
server we got from you. It seems to be working fine ...
although i just have a question .

When the users ftp to their directory the files transferred are
always on the mode 664 which means that the group has still write
permission on the files. What if we want to make it 644 everytime
the ftp. Where do you think we should configure it ?

By the way, we are using Solaris 2.5 .
Hoping for you to respond as soon as possible.

Thank you very much in advance.

i run a AIX 4.1 and have terrible problems to get wu-ftpd to work,
normaly he accepts a login but closes instandly because he thinks
that the user has taken to long to insert his passwd.
I found also that IBM has fiddled with the ftp-login e.g. a ls
will not work if you dont run the anon.ftp script.

maybe thats a hint ?

Could these be the ones that are waiting for user/pass but aren't logged
in yet ? Which means the're all going to see the message 'the maximum number
of anonymous ftp sessions ...'.

Maybe some browser used for visiting your site doesn't close the connection
even when getting an user anonymous access denied.

With Solaris you could try /usr/ucb/ps to see which process state wu-ftpd
is in.

OK...
I can get wu-ftpd to chroot the user into /<user> .. but now when they
upload a file.. it isn't viewable via 'ls'
I've checked permissions.. and tried putting
Figuring that /usr/home is the / for the user. .. i have put a bin/shlib/etc
directory in /usr/home
In my inetd.conf, ftpd is being run with a '-a' so it reads ftpaccess
The home directory is set to: /usr/home/./<login name>
I'm not sure what in teh world i'm missing.. i have tried it all... (I think)
Any ideas?

If it weren't for the fact that a lot of these processes hang around for
hours, I'd say that you've hit it on the head. It does explain -most- of
the root owned processes, but not all...

Quite possibly. Either that, or some wu-ftpd processes aren't timing out
the login correctly...

Yeah, I did know about that command :) They're all simply "sleeping",
which doesn't say much I'm afraid.

MIME-Version: 1.0

I am running Beta 11 on a Solaris 2.4 machine and was wondering if
there is a way to limit the bandwidth used by FTP? All I am doing right
now is limiting the number of connections, but that still doesn't really
conserve bandwidth.

Is there any way to do this in Beta 11? If so, how? If not, does
anyone know if/when it is planned?

Thanks,

Mike

I got this too. Add this to your ./src/ftpd.c source code:

#define SPT_SCO 6 /* write kernel u. area */

/* FTP server. */
#include "config.h"
#include <cma.h> <<< ADD THIS LINE!

#include <sys/types.h>

The "timeval" sturcture is defined in this "cma.h" header file.

Incidentally, I am having a terrible time getting wu-ftpd to work with my
Alpha 3.2B machine and it's C2 security. It compiles and functions just
fine with anonymous FTP, but it will not do authenticated
(username/password) FTP. Even installing the patches dosn't work.

If you find a solution, or if it works OK on your system, would you let me
know? Thanks!

X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII

Hello All,

We are still having problems with anonymous uploads being
owned by "ftp" and NOT the user specified in the ftpaccess file.
This is on a Solaris 2.5.1 system.

I checked the FAQ, and did the "-a" in the inetd.conf file,
but NO luck. I'm sure it is something simple, but we can't find
the problem?

Our access file:
===
# specify the upload directory information
upload /pub/ftp * no
upload /pub/ftp /thebook/incoming yes thebook www 0600 dirs
upload /pub/ftp /bin no
upload /pub/ftp /etc no
==

Would appreciate hearing from any Solaris 2.x folks who
have this working!

John

Colleen,

I didn't see anything in your message which indicates that you copied
the static binary from the /sbin/ls directory into the ~ftp/bin
directory. This is essential to get your long listing ("ls -l" or
"dir") to work. On my 3.2c platform this is approximately 10 times the
size of the dynamically linked version (about 400 KB). Also,
/etc/siainitgood will help you only if you want user and group name
mapping. Some sysadmin's prefer keeping this under wraps. I hope that
helps.

Dear WUFTPD'ers,

Have been using the WU-FTPD 2.4 version successfully for a while now.
Was asked recently to add untar, unzip, uncompress capabilities for files
being uploaded with certain suffixes.

Have made the entries in the ftpconversions file according to the sample
version. Have put all binaries under each guest account I am using and
have used the chroot command to verify correct operation. Turned on
tar and compress commands in ftpaccess file for guest (and real since in
log I saw my guest accounts had an r as type) accounts.

But everytime I upload a file.Z or file.tar it just gets uploaded (which used
to be good enough ;-) Below is my test conversion file format. I have read
everything I could find and tried everything I can think of but dont know
what I am missing to get an uploaded file processed. A lot of the things I
read referred to downloaded files being processed, I assume in even the
base 2.4 version that processing uploaded files did work?

Any info would be appreciated.
Thanx,
Roger Hanke

Hello,

Did anyone manage to run ftpd -a on a IRIX 5.3 mahcine?
As soon as I insert the -a, no NIS user can login. This is
rather annoying. Only local users can login then

is this a bug?

Thanks for helping me out

I've tried compiling two different versions of wu-ftpd under Linux and both
of them fail to compile. With wu-ftpd-2.4-fixed I managed to compile all of
the utilites, but ftpd failed with an error in the compilation of glob.o. I
tried compiling wu-ftpd-2_4_2-beta-11, and didn't even get that far. The
only utility which compiled was ckconfig. I'm running Linux kernel 2.0.21,
gcc 2.7.2, libc's 4.7.2 and 5.2.18 as recommended for the Linux 2.0.x kernel
series. Any help would be very much appreciated. I might note that I've
compiled a good number of packages on this system and although some of them
need a bit of touch-up, I've yet to find one that wouldn't compile.

The output of an aborted build is as follows:

I'm trying to install wuftp on an ultrix machine. It compiles
fine but I need to add something to make it work with C2
security. I have the fix for Digital Unix and it works great
but I tried the same fix for ultrix and it bombs. Can
anyone help me with this?

Also, is there an faq list or some kind of archives for this
list so I don't have to bother everyone with questions I'm sure
they've seen a thousand times before?

I got this fix for Digital Unix from the alpha-osf-managers list:

Make these changes to ./src/config/config.osf

#define SecureWare
#include <sys/secdefines.h>
#include <sys/security.h>
#include <sys/audit.h>

and the following to ./src/makefiles/Makefile.osf

LIBES = -lsupport -lsecurity -laud

I'm still looking for the fix for Ultrix to work with C2 security.
If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it.

The reason anon ftp works and usernames work is because wuftpd
uses unprotected password database calls for password information. Prior
to beta-9 (or was it 10?) you had to patch the code yourself. However,
SCO C2 support was added in recent versions, and that code is virtually
identical to what DU uses in 3.2, it will still work, but dec doesn't
suggest it. Since your just reading entries, it won't harm anything.
Anyway, I can't remember exactly what needs to be changed in the Makefile,
but look at the SCO Makefile, any references to prot.h and sys/security.h
and things of this nature should be included. If I get the time I'll
write a patch for C2 that will work with beta-11 and post it. I'm still
running beta 9. Also, any references to defining Secureware should be put
in the osf makefile.

I am trying to find out whether or not anyone knows how I would enable ftp
transfers using wu-ftpd, which are not passive mode... the daemon is only
allowing PASV transfers, whereas I want the old mode of tranfer to be
allowed as well... i know it is less secure, but I am stuck in a situation
which requires me to do things this way...

i would assume that you either have to run wu-ftpd specifying a switch to
allow it, or re-compile it with the option or edit some conf file
somewhere.... has anybody got any ideas on how I would do this?

I think that wuftpd does tar and compress "on the fly", but not untar or
uncompress. I mean that if there is a file called pepito.txt and you do a
"get pepito.txt.Z" command, wuftpd will compress the file pepito.txt, but
if the file is already compressed, i.e., its name is pepito.txt.Z, wuftpd
won't uncompress it.

I hope this answers your question. Maybe I misunderstood.

Regards.

Could you detail your system? Distribution, kernel version, etc? If you're
using redhat or debian, there are pre-built packages for wu-ftpd, and you
can get the source packages for these systems as well.

Is there any capability than anyone knows of (or any extension which will
add it) in Netscape's anonymous ftp facility to handle SITE GROUP and SITE
GPASS commands?

Maybe I'm missing something also

A-
But first let's make it clear, a client(ftp, netscape, whatever) cannot,
when doing uploads, {un,}compress or {un,}tar on the fly (i.e doing
`mput' or `put' to the /pub/incoming or where/ever directory).

The ftpconversions is for __download__
(i.e. when doing `mget' or `get')

B-
and yes, you can uncompress on the fly
with ftpconversion rule:
:.Z: : :/bin/compress -d -c %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:UNCOMPRESS
or whatever you have

ftp>ls
file.Z
ftp>get file

will uncompress on the fly the file.Z

C-
untarring on the fly is useless, within FTP transfert.

I'd like to know the solution to this one as well.. It is a known problem
cos' I've seen it referenced on some linux mailinglists but I never saw
the patch for it. The vers.o problem will go away if you run sh
newvers.sh in the src directory. Apparently the sh newvers.sh line in the
makefile is not always run for some reason. If you do this manually, it
will work and all programs will compile except ftpd (but that's the other
problem, with glob)

I stumbled across an excellent wu-ftpd mailing list archive that I hadn't
heard of before (to my knowledge, and according to the FAQ, the only
decent one is the one at NASA, which is horribly outdated).

The URL is:

http://ftp.sterling.com/wuftpd/mail-archive/

Note that the http:// is crucial here because ftp.sterling.com is NOT the
same site as www.sterling.com (go figure). There's also a lot of good
wu-ftpd-related stuff in /wuftpd/.

They appear to have all messages archived, starting 2/15/95, so if you're
looking for something earlier than that, you might try the old NASA one.

The only drawback is that all of the messages are in one big chunk;
there's no search engine.

Apologies if this is old news to anyone, but I hadn't seen mention of it
and was quite overjoyed to find that someone somewhere is archiving all of
this info.

(Koos -- I didn't see mention of this site in the FAQ; perhaps an addition
is in order?)

Subject: Preventing File and/or directory downloads
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

All,

I realize this may be a FAQ, BUT.... How can I prevent our users
from logging into our system with their userid and password and retrieving
specific files and/or directories.

Specifically, I want them to be able to move files in and out of their
home directories put NOT download any files in the "/etc" directory (yeah,
you guessed it: /etc/passwd and /etc/group).

I am running 2.4.2 beta 11 on a Digital Unix 3.2b machine.

Thanks All!

I don't think so. But you can use guestgroup as the user can specify
a user ID and password in the URL its:
ftp://user:passwd@host/

To get around that, I commented out lines 240 and 241 in glob.c .. it
compiles after that.

I'm getting sick of this problem...

This was compiled in a Linux 1.2.13 machine... just place it in the src
tree and go.

=46tp compiled fine on a Linux 2.0.21 machine once the glob.c file was place=
d.

Then, in your CFLAGS, add "-DDIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS". That will fix the
problem under Linux.

Under Linux, I've observed the following (for beta11):

wu-ftpd will not compile on very recent distributions. For instance, it
will not compile with out-of-the-box Slackware 3.1.

wu-ftpd will compile with older distributions. I was able to successfully
compile it with Slackware 3.0 and 2.3 systems. Libraries don't seem to be
an issue, since all were using recent ELF libs, and with 2.x kernels.

It normally is run when ftpd is compiled, just before it links the
daemon. In this case, it doesn't get run because glob.c fails, so make
aborts compilation for the ftpd rule and jumps to the next rule (which of
course also fails, because vers.c is missing).

This seems remarkably similar to a problem I heard about on the wuftpd
list.

To make a longish story short, I've chosen to recompile tcsh to use
the getwd provided by libgeneric
(ftp://autoinst.acs.uci.edu/pub/generic.tar.gz), instead of using the
getwd provided by the tcsh distribution. libgeneric's getwd is a
wrapper around getcwd.

The getwd in the tcsh distribution contains the following
disconcerting comment:

/*
* Parent has a different device. This is a mount point so we
* need to stat every member
*/

If I don't have this on the production dcslib servers later today,
I'll drop you note indicating as much.

BTW, "su - swallace" no longer appears to get stuck. It suddenly
started working while I was doing a truss - perhaps because subnet 56
is intermittant, but not completely down.

You will get those compilation errors when you don't successfully compile
ftpd. (vers.c is compiled after glob.c) ...

there is a `noretrieve' command in ftpaccess
The downside is it doesn't do globbing

something like

noretrieve /etc/passwd /etc/group

There is also the undocumented `.notar' file

Jen-

Might want to check out [email protected] mailing list (and
archives- http://ftp.sterling.com/wuftpd/mail-archive/) for stats
programs if you are not already on it.

Below is the stats I get daily out of a slightly hacked copy of the
xferstats program included in the wu-ftp source.

The quick and dirty solution, actually sanctioned by Academ Software, is pretty
easy. Just place the line:

#define DIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS

in glob.c before the #includes. If you're having this problem, look in
/usr/include/dirent.h and you'll see the reason for it. The code goes rather
out of its way to hide the details of the DIR structure. This #define
essentially says "Yes, I know I'm doing a Bad Thing, but let me do it anyway"
and everything compiles properly.

The problem is supposed to be fixed in beta 12, and apparently only affects
people who have upgraded their libs.

I fixed my compilation problems for wu-ftpd-2.4-fixed by:
a. running build lnx
b. modifying src/pathnames.h
c. watch out for shadow stuff too if you have it vs don't have it

Otherwise, it compiles fine on my linux-2.0.0 w/ gcc-2.7.2

Maybe you also need to add:
typedef int pid_t; in src/config.h ???

hope that helps..

I wrote this person outside of this list and suggested using the guestgroup

Sorry. It was fresh and new (and nasty) when I encountered it a couple of
days ago and wrote to the list about it. It was my reason for subscribing
to this list.

Thanks to everyone who has sent patches and answers - whether I took their
advice or not :-)

Just installed wuftp-2.4, again. ;) and decided that I wanted to use the the
SITE GROUP, etc. sublogin processes. Using three, no four different
references, my cohort and I could not get it to work.

Problems? Well, one big one was the fact that SITE was not a command...
We'll start there... any takers?

Thanks,

Hi,

I have just compiled beta11 on my Linux machine, however I am
experiencing leftover ftpd processes hanging around. Also the
ftpwho does not show all the users connected.

I suspect this has been asked before.

Any solutions appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm having a problem with wu-ftpd, version 2.4.2-beta11 w/ virtual
support. I've installed a test environment with two virtual ftp hosts, one
is named from the real hostname, the other is a true virtual hostname.
When I'm trying to upload a file to an no-upload-area of the virtual host
the server reacts properly with a permission denied-message, BUT the next
command I give causes the ftp-server to crash (SIGSEGV). This does not
happen with the "real" host. FYI, we're using Solaris 2.5.1 on Intel.
Any hints ?

Cheers, Oliver Haak

If your FTP client doesn't understand the SITE command (and a lot don't),
try using the QUOTE command to issue it :-

quote site group <groupname>
quote site gpass <password>

This works with uour SunOS FTP clients (HP-UX is understands the SITE command
anyway).

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Bob

I had similar problem when I installed wuftp 2.4 on Solaris x86 2.5
a few weeks ago. Double check your ~/ftp directory tree, make sure
the correct files are there, and all the permissions are set properly.
That was my problem.

Subject: Problems with passive connection
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I am running wu-ftpd 2.4 on many Solaris 2.5 boxes. On one of the boxes,
passive mode does not work. I get the error message

425 Can't open passive connection: Permission denied.

I haven't found and differences that should matter between the one
that does not work and the ones that do. I located the error message
in the source, and it seems to be caused by socket errors. The systems
are all the same, and wu-ftpd is invoked in the same way (ftpd -l).

Does anyone have any suggestions where I might look to find the problem?

Thanks in advance for you help,

Dan Niles

-DDIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS to the CFLAGS line in src/makefiles/Makefile.lnx
so if Koos could add that to the FAQ? :)

ALL,

I recently installed wu-ftpd on a solaris 2.5 system. I can't get any
file transfers or commands logged to my xferlog file. All files exist and
should have the correct permissions. Below are my inetd.conf
entries for ftpd and the header information from pathnames.h.

pathnames.h:

#define _PATH_FTPUSERS "/etc/ftpusers"
#define _PATH_FTPACCESS "/usr/local/etc/ftpaccess"

inetd.conf:

any help is greatly appreciated.

you're probably missing some files under

lib/*
or
dev/*

see the guestgroup configuration in koos's wu-ftp FAQ.

The best thing to do .. is to rip off `ls' from GNU fileutils and
compile it statically. So you'll be able to move `ls' around
without having to worry about some files missing after the chroot().

If Alex is using guest groups with access granted to a tree other than ~ftp
then the guest tree needs to be set up exactly like the ~ftp tree, i.e. he
needs a bin directory with copy of the statically linked ls binary and
whatever else he wants his guest users to be able to run.

Try chmod 666 /dev/tcp. (I think this is in the FAQ.)

I'm curious. Has anybody got GNU fileutils to link statically
on Solaris x86 2.5 using gcc? I couldn't.

Commands are logged via syslog.

Check the binary with strings to see where the xferlog path ends up.
It could be changed due to some #ifdef.

I did really check but .. you have to enable logging with ftpaccess file

log command <type>

will send stuff to syslog

log transfert <type>

will send stuff to _PATH_XFERLOG .. xferlog

sorry don't know the exact syntax

man ftpaccess
should reveal them to you

Note: I don't use Solaris, but they was some report
that wu-ftpd screw up wtmpx. Don't know if it was fix

I've seen that problem occuring with missing dev/zero files. Check your
man
pages to find out about the device number.

Send the message "unsubscribe wu-ftpd" to [email protected]. Make
sure the message is in the body, not the subject, and that you spell
"unsubscribe" correctly :)

you should read the Solaris FAQ, it got pointers to binaries.

I don't Have Solaris .. yet <sigh !>

but from my(too) brief encounter with Solaris, you have to
provide some stubs for the dl* function dlopen(), dlclose(), etc ..
You can get `ls' link(statically) without them. Well, at least
on a Sparc running Solaris-2.5 with gcc-2.7.2.1

See Solaris Faq by Casper D.

Good question, because I have also tried to get off this list and even sent

I already responded to the first person's query, but I guess not everyone
read it. Simply send the message "unsubscribe wu-ftpd" to
[email protected]. Note that the unsubscribe request goes in the
body text of the message, not the subject.

Let me know if you still have problems.

Repost:
Sorry if you receive this twice, but there are odd things
going on by posting to this list ... (see below if interested)

Original Message:
---------------------------------------------------

My ftp client sends:

sprintf(buf,"%c%cABOR\r\n",IAC,IP);

Which seems to work exactly ONCE on
wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-11],Version wu-2.1c(4) servers,
on lots of other servers like wcarchive.cdrom.com FTP server
Version wu-2.4-dg(31) it works fine ...

Is this a bug or do I send the wrong OOB sequence?

Thanks,

Hello,
I am sure you have heard this question many times.
Can't get compress/uncompress to work.

I've copied the entries straight from the O'Reilly book for both
ftpaccess
and ftpconversion.
Here is relevant ftpaccess entries:

class local real IP.IP.IP.*
compress yes local
compress yes local
uncompress yes local
/bin/compress yes local
#As you can see I've tried many variations trying to get it to work.

Here is entry in ftpconversions
:.Z: : :/bin/uncompress -c %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:UNCOMPRESS
: : :.Z:/bin/compress -c %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_COMPRESS:COMPRESS

Notes about install:
1)Did not compile locally. Took binaries and config files from another
system
2)Running on ports greater than 20000

another problem - I even have trouble preventing my "local" class from
executing delete and mkdir when I add them to ftpaccess file. However
when I remove my classes I get accessed denied not member of any class.
So I assume it is reading the ftpaccess file?

When I attempt the uncompress on the fly:
ftp>ls
file.Z
ftp>get file
200 PORT command successful
550 file: No such file OR directory

Any help is appreciated:

Has anyone tried analyzing ftpd log files to identify which file transfers
are failing? The xferlog file is not useful for this: if a user's
connection terminates in mid-transfer, a record is never written to
xferlog.

I've patched the ftpd.c file so that xferlog-type records are sent to
syslog along with the ftp commands (if command logging is enabled). More
recently, I've added a patch to send a similar record at the very
beginning of the file transfer. Now I can post-process the syslog to
identify failed file transfers. The trick is to find records for
initiated file transfers that don't have corresponding end-of-transfer
records.

I no longer even use the xferlog file. The syslog file with xfer
records provides much more complete information.

I'm starting to wonder whether others are doing similarly detailed
analyses that aren't possible with the xferlog file. I'm also wondering
if there are any risks associated with this approach.

Hi there...

I know this has been covered lately and apologize.. I had an answer to
this before that worked fine, but lost the answer...

when compiling 2.4-fixed on a linux 2.0.13 machine I get this error
again...

glob.c: line 240 incompatible reference to pointer type (something like
that)
[glob.c] Error 1

It won't complile ftpd like it should.... like I said I had this problem
previously and found a fix via this list... sorry to hash it over AGAIN...

Thanks,

Paul

Add -DDIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS to Makefile.lnx in Makefile.lnx and re-run
"build lnx". That will fix the problem.

One way that i fixed it was to put /* */'s around line's 240 and 241 in
glob.c, i know ther are others.. but i don't recall

Subject: missing xferlog
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I've installed wu-ftpd-2.4 on an OSF1 host. Anomymous ftp to that host
seemed to be OK, except there was no transfer log (either /usr/adm/xferlog
or whatever I defined on src/pathnames.h) even after file transfers had
taken place. The /usr/adm directory had ownership and mode as follow.

drwxr-xr-x 11 adm adm

The installed pgm had owership and mode as follow.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 139264 Oct 15 16:53 ftpd

Would that be a problem due to the difference in ownership that
might prevent the xferlog being created on /usr/adm ?
I've tried defined the xferlog in src/pathnames.h to be on a location
which was world-writable, but there still was no xferlog log generated.

Any idea what went wrong?

first question is
ucompress/compress in
~ftp/bin ?
don't forget that ftpd do a chroot("/where/ever/ftp")
so "/" is "/where/ever/ftp"

you have to enable
`delete' in the ftpaccess for the types(real,guest,anonymous)

Hello there...

I just recently compiled 2.4-fixed and compiled in shadow support... a
couple of user accounts work fine, but others don't... I can't find the
logic.....

Anyone have any ideas why? Everyone uses the same shell to the best of my
knowledge...

Thanks again,

Subject: skey vs local authentication for v2.4
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I have been running wu-ftpd v2.4 with s/key enhancements for quite sometime,
and in general am very happy with its performance. The machine running the
wu-ftpd is an internal server. I am running s/key to reduce security risks
associated with connections from an untrusted net through my firewall.
The firewall is running a ftpd proxy and tcp wrappers.

The configuration can be represented as:

Untrusted Network
|
Outside Net |
|
Firewall
- ftp proxy (w/access control lists)
- tcp wrappers
|
Inside Net |
|
---------------------------------------------------------
| | | | |
ClientA ClientB Server ClientC ClientD ...
- wu-ftpd
- w/s/key

Current ftp Authentication Methods:

UntrustedNet --ftp--> Server S/Key (must pass tcpd and ACLs
on firewall first)
ClientA --ftp--> Server S/Key
ALL --ftp--> Server S/Key

Desired ftp Authentication Methods:

UntrustedNet --ftp--> Server S/Key (must pass tcpd and ACLs
on firewall first)
ClientA --ftp--> Server Account password
ALL InsideNet --ftp--> Server Account password

However, (there is always a "however,") when any internal client ftps
to my internal server they are also forced to use s/key. This is
an unnecessary inconvenience, IMHO. I would like the internal users
to use their account password for internal ftp authentications. So I made
some changes to the ftpd.c file (7 lines plus comments) and have included
them here for comments.

Added. It's a busy period for me at the moment, so I let mails on the list
that can mean faq changes queue up for a while and then take them all
in one go.

Thanks everyone for input for the FAQ.

Is the upload dir by any chance NFS mounted ?

(if it is, the chown will be disabled by the NFS daemon)

What FTP client are you using? It sounds like the FTP client is sending
weird commands to wu-ftpd.

Please read the INSTALL file that came with the package (2.4) :
: 5. Make sure that you have a /etc/shells that lists all valid shells on
: your system. Otherwise, those who have shells not listed there will
: not be able to log in. [Yes, this is the expected behaivor.]

Hope this help.

the command ,if use quote, is mkd so:

QUOTE MKD dir_name

many ftp clients have an mkdir command, builtin.
MKDIR as an raw ftp command doesn't exist.

Subject: 2nd resend of ftpd bug
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm not sure if people are seeing this email, I haven't received any replies,
so I'm trying sending from a different host...

WU-ftpd-2.4 and probably earlier versions, appear to drop null bytes when
transferring binary files in ASCII mode. Now, I'm sure many people would
react right away and say, "don't transfer binary files in ASCII mode".
However, shouldn't this work for some binary files anyway between like
Unix systems?

Using a 1-MB test file, I was able to successfully transfer it in ASCII
mode to AIX, SunOS, Solaris, UNICOS, and ConvexOS systems (using each vendor's
ftp server) and get the file back with no problems.

However, wu-ftpd drops null bytes while transferring files in ASCII mode if
they follow ^M's in some situations. I have source code access to AIX,
UNICOS, and ConvexOS, and compared these sources to wu-ftpd. None of
these vendor's ftpd.c's are coded to drop null bytes when they follow ^M's;
however, wu-ftpd's ftpd.c is as follows...

--- ftpd.c, excerpt from receive_data() function ---

..

switch (type) {
..

case TYPE_A:
while ((c = getc(instr)) != EOF) {
byte_count++;
if (c == '\n')
bare_lfs++;
while (c == '\r') {
if (ferror(outstr))
goto data_err;
if ((c = getc(instr)) != '\n') {
(void) putc('\r', outstr);
------------------> if (c == '\0' || c == EOF)
goto contin2;
}
}
(void) putc(c, outstr);
contin2:;
}

..

Note the line pointed to, why is '\0' checked for here? Shouldn't it be only
a check for EOF? Anytime a ^M is followed by a '\0', the goto gets
executed and the putc of the '\0' is skipped. None of the other ftp sources
I looked at check for the '\0' and skip it. I think this is a bug. If
it's not, would somebody tell me the real (and logical) reason why nulls are
skipped here? Maybe it's just old leftover code that was supposed to cover
some EOF condition or some such? The easy fix is to just remove the
"c == '\0' ||" portion of the "if" check.

96 bytes were dropped in my 1-MB test file due to this problem, essentially
corrupting the file.

Please reply as soon as possible - I'm ready to install some enhancements I've
made for our +2.5 million file hierarchical mass storage system and need to
know how to proceed. Thanks!

Is this really a problem? My understanding is that ASCII ftp mode was
developed to accomodate the different character representation and
formatting conventions in use for text files on various systems from
mainframes to micros (such as the difference between Unix and DOS newlines).
Since nulls are not signifigant in terms of Unix character representation,
it's probably a no-nevermind as to what's done with them, and in fact it
would seem to me to be more logical >not< to pass them. I'm sure there must
be an RFC covering this somewhere.

Subject: OPIE patch for wuarchive ftpd?
X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (7.2.5 10/14/92)
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Has anybody modified wu-ftpd to support OPIE one time password challenges
in lieu of reusable passwords? I would much rather somebody mailed me
a patch file than to have to hack the code myself. Yes, I am aware that
the OPIE distribution comes with an OPIE-enabled ftpd, but there are some
features of wu-ftpd that I wish to take advantage of.

Please email me directly (as I don't regularly read either of these
lists) and I will summarize.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Problem with wu-ftpd on SUN

Hallo,

we use wu-2.4(23) on AIX 3.2.5 without any problem. Now we have to
establish an anonymous ftp on a SUN with SUNOS 4.1.3. We have installed
wu-ftpd according to the installation instructions. When ftp-ing the SUN
it is responding with "SUN3: wu-2.4(1) ........ ready". But when the user
ftp or anonymous is entered the answer is "service is not available,
remote host has closed connection, login failed". What could be the
problem?

Thanks for any help

Wolf Kammer

Some vendors versions of ftpd do buffering here with vectorization and can speed
up the code as much as 10X over the getc version of ASCII mode.

That is the first switch statement, try looking at your source for the same
case in the second switch statement (line 1883 in wuftp-2.4, line 2378 in
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11).

It sounds like the RFC defines no action for NULL bytes, so why is ftpd.c
coded to drop them when following ^M's? By changing this one line in the code,
ASCII mode behaves as it does on other systems that don't exhibit the problem.
With over 2,000 users having access to our mass storage system, you can imagine
the widely-varied levels of computer literacy exhibited by them. I would just
like to close this potential hole that some of them will fall into (despite
our efforts to educate them). Can we call this a bug and have the line
changed to "if (c == EOF)"?

Hi I am trying to install the wu-ftp in my system.
I am on an AIX 4 system and there is the ftp deamon that came with
the software. I am trying to install a second ftp deamon. I get wierd
messages about dirs not being crated and so on. Can you aid a drowning

Maybe you should send your patch to "ftp.academ.." or who ever
maintain wu-ftpd this days(don't know the email).
They're suppose to release a beta-1? ... "real soon" :-)

Can you Cc the patch to the mailing list so I can archive .. and play :)

For as far as I know, wu-ftpd is not an official project of academ.com.
Therefore things like release dates don't mean much.

Even commercial software companies don't make their release dates. Let
alone hobby project.

That says it all for now. How do I get it to open sockets to the right
address, and log connections for that matter.

Oh yeah, it's a sun4c running Solaris 2.4

Thanks for the replies, unfortunately I have created those devices. I
think they are correct. I tried different permissions on the
~ftp/dev/directory itself but to no avail.:

# ls -l ~ftp/dev
total 4
d--x--x--x 2 root other 512 Oct 21 12:05 ./
drwxr-xr-x 9 root other 512 Oct 21 16:05 ../

Subject: Problem accesing wu-ftpd with Fetch
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
X-Mailer: Z-Mail for Macintosh (3.3.1 27Mar96)
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi all,

I comment the following problem just in case any of you has had it
before.

I have an wu-ftpd server on a Solaris 2.5 machine, it behaves perfectly
but for an slight problem that arises when connecting to a real user
account with a Fetch client from a Macinthosh. In this, and only in this
scenario it mangles the directory listing showing some directories as
strange files which name starts with the user name, group and date and
things like that.

The wu-ftpd I am running is patched with the patches for symlinks
traversal, but that doesn't matter: I have gcc-compiled other wu-ftpd's
like beta10,11,.... and behave the same way in this machine.
I have also checked that running that server in another Solaris 2.5
machine doesn't show that trouble. So it is a problem with the machine (
configuration )

I think the problem started after migration from Solaris 2.4 to 2.5, but
it was a complete installation after re-partitioning and restoring only
some of the old directories.

Ok, the thing is that I do not find any thing that could be
mis-configured and I wander if any of you has had that problem.

Best regards,

Javier Puche.

PS: I also would love if any of you tells me where to find information
on how to handle properly wtmp and wtmpx with wu-ftpd under Solaris 2.5
for avoiding acctcon messages.

On Solaris 2 use the truss command to see what is happening to the ftpd pid.
E.g. on your ftp server for each connection you get a pid like this:

root 25235 136 0 10:34:02 ? 0:00 ftpd -la

If you use:

truss -t open -p 25235

you will see which files it tries to open and maybe which files are missing
or have the wrong permissions.

Hi,

this may be a common problem/error, but I just cannot find the
solution in any FAQ. Please help me out here..

I have set up wu-ftpd 2.4 for my Solaris 2.5 machine without trouble.

Everything but one thing works:

When clients log into my ftp-archive, and they have their own
"change-root" areas to work within, they cannot list the
contents of the directory. It works fine with just typing
"ls" when logged through a terminal window, but it does
not work when I use the "quote LIST" command. Return is:
"425 Can't build data connection: Connection refused."

I have set up the directory as advised in the Solaris man page for
ftpd, and also checked a few different FAQ:s.

The common advise for this problem is to make sure that the users
shell is listed in the /etc/shells file.
Now, I didn't use to have an /etc/shells file, but now I have added
one, with one single line in it:

-------------start file
/bin/ksh
-------------end of file

This shell (/bin/ksh) is the only shell I use, and is also the shell
the user in question is using. Now, I've even copied the system
version of ksh to the users /bin -directory, and still no success.

PLEASE help me here!

/Stefan

Do these chroot areas have their own copies of all needed libraries, and,
very important for Solaris, the correct devices ?

Each chroot area needs to have it's own complete setup like the anonymous
ftp area.

Subject: uploads directive in ftpaccess
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
X-Sender: [email protected] (Unverified)
X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (16)
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I've looked at the docs, faqs, archives of this mailing list, etc.,
and haven't found an answer to this. Either I misunderstand what the
upload directive in ftpaccess is supposed to control, or I'm not using the
correct entry. Put simply, my question is:

Can the upload directive in ftpaccess be used to turn *off* anonymous
upload permission, regardless of the mode (permissions) set on the
directories in the ~ftp hierarchy?

Some background: I set up wu-ftpd 2.4 as per the accompanying docs,
with some supplemental help from other sources for the modes on the ~ftp
hierarchy. Along with the usual /u/ftp/bin, /u/ftp/etc, and so forth
entries, I have the following set up:

dr-xr-xr-x 7 root wheel 512 Oct 21 11:00 /u/ftp
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Oct 21 13:24 /u/ftp/pub
drwx-wx-wt 2 root wheel 512 Oct 21 10:50 /u/ftp/pub/incoming

I expected that disallowing anonymous uploads in ftpaccess would
override the write permission for anonymous users. That is, setting the
upload directive in ftpaccess could further restrict the permissions on
/u/ftp/pub/incoming. However, it seems that even if I try to disallow
anonymous uploads in ftpaccess, they are allowed as long as the mode set on
/u/ftp/pub/incoming is world-writable.

If I want to permit anonymous downloads, but not anonymous uploads, I
thought the following entries in ftpaccess would do the trick; some are
probably redundant and/or useless.

upload /home/ftp * no
upload /home/ftp /pub/* no
upload /home/ftp /bin/* no
upload /home/ftp /etc/* no
upload /home/ftp /pub/incoming/* no
upload /home/ftp /pub/incoming* no

I've tried several variations, without success. All have allowed anonymous
uploads whenever the /u/ftp/pub/incoming directory is world-writable. The
only way I have been able to turn off anonymous uploads is to turn off
world write permissions on the directory.

Sometimes I need to permit anonymous uploads, and I would like to
control this via ftpaccess, rather than by changing the mode on
/u/ftp/pub/incoming every time. If this can't be done, I can live with
changing the modes, but it just seemed to me that this was supposed to be
one of the things that ftpaccess can control.

FWIW, when I do permit anonymous uploads, the options set for <owner>,
<group>, and <mode> by the upload directive in ftpaccess seem to work just
fine.

Thanks for any and all help on this.

-Ken

Koos,

yes, I've tried to set up my directories according to what is suggested
in the man ftpd-page.

Strange thing is this: The man page tells me to copy the following files
(among others) from my /usr/lib directory:
nss_nis.so*
nss_nisplus.so*
nss_dns.so*
nss_files.so*

These files do not exist on my system. I found this a little strange,
so I spoke with my contact at Sun Microsystems, who told me that he
didn't have those files either.

Note that I am running Solaris 2.5.

This is getting stranger by the minute.

When wu-ftpd interacts with a client, it does a chroot to whatever base
directory is appropriate for the login. Any files which wu-ftpd needs to
access must reside further up on this directory branch. Not only is this
true, but any files which are needed by any processes run by wu-ftpd must
also be similarly accessable - including shared libraries. A common mistake
in setting up ftp access is to place a dynamically linked copy of ls in the
bin directory of each guest area. Because said ls can't access it's dynamic
lib, it won't run. All copies of ls available in guest login areas must by
statically linked, as must be any other utilities available for anonymous or
guest ftp. A symbolic link to another statically linked ls won't work since
the directory structure has been altered for the session. A hard link
>will< work, as long as the linked-to file is on the same filesystem.

Do you have the source for ls? The best solution is to recompile it with
the -static option and forget mucking with the dynamic libraries.

Michael,

I just read the

> guest howto: ftp://ftp.fni.com/pub/wu-ftpd/guest-howto

and found the problem with it all using the truss -f command.
Worked great!

What was wrong? I had by misstaked linked libw.so to the copy of libw.so.1,
and not the other way round.

Thanks all for help.

/Stefan

this is the full list of libraries that MUST exists under the /usr/lib
for each one of your chrooting users. Note that some of the libs you're
missing are links to the real library files, i bet you that 'ls -l' is
trying to access the libs through the links, that have no mention of the
library release number and will not change from sys to sys, with upgrades
and OS patches

in Solaris you can check what libraries are called (and how they are called)
by tracing the execution of the program with 'truss' (as someone already
mentioned not too long ago)

> truss -o ~/ls_l_trace ls -l

and then search for files and libraries opened by the program (in this case, ls -l)
and better that these, find out which ones failed to open!

> grep 'open' ~/ls_l_trace
list of files that has tried to open

> grep 'lstat' ~/ls_l_trace
list of libraries whose status has tried to check

hope this helps. Miquel

Lindsay,

sounds like a good idea.
I got it all working now, but it is a bit of a hassle.

I don't have the ls source, but would be interested in looking at it.

Hi

does anyone knows what the requirements are
for the chroot(). I followed the following faq
(ftp://ftp.fni.com/pub/wu-ftpd/guest-howto) on
a system with Solaris 2.4 running wu-ftp2.4.
the ftp guest users login but the chroot()
is not performed as it should. As for the user
anonymous and real users, it works fine.
Anybody has any idea why?

I can't reproduce this problem on wu-ftpd or Solaris 2.5.1 ftpd.

I have seen ftp (the client software, not the server) core dump under
similar circumstances under Solaris 2.5.1, but that's not a server
security
problem.

It does seem like limiting the core size to 0 is a good idea, however,
though
of course we would need a "debug" version that would dump a normal core
as well.
That would prevent unknown bugs from producing a core file containing
shadow
password files.

The latest academ beta shouldn't core dump anyway, because I think it has
signal handlers installed for all possible signals; at least it has them
for most signals. The signal handler calls exit(), so no core is
generated. In old versions, the signal handler called abort(), so it did
dump core.

I added those two devices, no luck. I've remounted the volume with the
nosuid option off. No change.

I just realised that Miquel and Vincent have different device numbers for
ticotsord whatever that is.

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

I tried just running the ftpd and typing commands directly using stdin and
stdout. When I try an ls I get the following:

In the messages file I get the following:

from an ftp session I get no logs even though my config file has the
following line:

Could it simply be that you forgot to edit the /etc/passwd entry for
that user to look like this:

ftpuser:x:600:60001:FTP-user:/export/home/ftpuser/./:/bin/ksh
^^^

The user also has to be a member of your defined guestgroup (define it in
ftpaccess).

Ftp users,

"ftpcheck" is a perl program to check an ftp site and report on file
existence/usage on a customized, personal basis. It is driven by
lines in the ftpaccess file that begin with: ##FTPCHECK

For those of you who downloaded my original version of ftpcheck (now
called ftpcheck.v1), I've written a new/improved version: ftpcheck.v2
that can be retrieved at: ftp://ftp.cle.ab.com/pub/ftpcheck.v2

This version, apart from better code, expands the <options> you
can use on the ##FTPCHECK line, including the ability to simply
report on files, or only report on old files, and/or to delete
old files automatically. The delete and report file ages are
independant. Below is the section that describes it's usage. If you
are interested, pick it up and give it a try. I'll do my best to
answer any question and will fix any bugs, but I can't offer
official support, etc, etc. Buyer beware.

##################################################################
### SYNTAX
#
# Usage: ftpcheck [-d]
#
# Syntax of line in ftpaccess file:
##FTPCHECK <options> <address> <directory>
#
# where:
# <option> is comma seperated list of:
# SKP : for SKIPPING this entry -- overrides other options.
# RPT : generate a report if ANY files are found. No report
# is sent to the user if this flag is not set.
# OLDxx : define an "old" file as one that is > xx days old.
# (defaults to 7). Note that if OLD date is > DEL date,
# then it's reset to the DEL date. Also note that
# if RPT is not set, and OLD is set, a report is sent
# only if old (or deleted) files are found.
# DELxx : automatically deleting files that are > xx days old
# (defaults to 14). If report is generated, indicate
# files that are deleted.
#
# <address> is email comma seperated list of address(es) of responsible
# person(s)
#
# <directory> is directory UNDER $FtpRoot this user is responsible for.
#
# examples:
##FTPCHECK OLD10,DEL30 [email protected] /incoming
# Send report if files > 10 days old. Also, delete (and report)
# anything > 30 days old.
#
##FTPCHECK RPT [email protected],[email protected] /foobar
# Send report daily, if any files exist. Send to two email addresses.
#
##FTPCHECK SKP,RPT [email protected] /other
# Skip this entry regardless of other options.
#
##FTPCHECK RPT,OLD,DEL21 [email protected] /incoming
# Send report every day (if any files), marking files > 7 (default) days
# old as "OLD" and deleting files > 21 days old (and reporting this).
#
##FTPCHECK OLD21,DEL21 [email protected] /incoming
# Delete files > 21 days old, and send report of this. Don't send
# a report otherwise. Since OLD days == DEL days, this forces a
# report to be sent if old files found, but all "old" files are also deleted.

about the major and minor no. They can change from OS to OS and from
release to release. After all is an internal matter, as long as they
are internally consistent the value doesn't mind. So, get yours from
the /devices/pseudo entries in your system,

> ls -l /devices/pseudo/*ticotsord
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 105, 1 Mar 20 1996 /devices/pseudo/tl@0:ticotsord

F_SETOWN? this isn't supported under Solaris! In the file ~wuftpd/config.h
undef its entry,

#undef F_SETOWN

and recompile wuftpd

then we'll see if this is the only cause of headaches. miquel

It compiled just fine here after I made a minor change given by the README
(using the support/arpa.h file instead of the one in /usr/include). See
http://www.pcc.com/%7Ejay/src/networking/wu-ftpd-2.4/ORIGINALS/ for more

Hello

I did all that.. (I did read the faq and the doc).
He's part of a group which is part of the guestgroup
in the ftpaccess file. I set his shell to /bin/csh
(defined in the /etc/shells), he gets
"Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number."
when he types ls after logging in via ftp.
however, when I set his shell to /bin/false
(defined in the /etc/shells) he can login but the
chroot() doesn't seem to work since the root dir is wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello there ftpadmin mates,
I've got a strange result of the limit function on our ftp server.
A lot of times I see 3 clients connected at the same time from
a.b.c.d with a limit of 2 for the class described as *.*.*.d
It often happens (I am not so sure) when I got some "-" in the
domain. Eg: a-a.b.c.d

Am I totally crazy or did some1 of you experienced something like
this?

Thanks.

OK, my system has 105,1. I tried those numbers, it didn't help.

I did a standard compile by typing "build sol" and when I checked
src/config.h it already contains the line:
#undef F_SETOWN

but when I examine ftpd.c the line
#include "config.h"
occurs at the top of the includes and further down:

#if defined(SVR4) || defined(ISC)
#include <fcntl.h>
#endif

Now /usr/include/fcntl.h sets F_SETOWN, well actually

/usr/include/fcntl.h contains the line: #include <sys/fcntl.h>
and /usr/include/sys/fcntl.h contains the line:
#define F_SETOWN 24 /* Set owner (socket emulation) */

So how do I stop F_SETOWN being defined? And why is it in the headers if
it isn't supported? (No don't worry about answering that.)

When I had that error on Solaris 2.5.1 it was because I didn't have
dev/tcp and dev/zero created under the directory which the user gets
chrooted to.

Hello, all. I've just joined!

I'm in the middle of creating an anonymous wu-ftp-2.4 site on
my home machine (NeXTSTEP 3.3 m68k) and have run into problems:

1) When I enter a login name at the prompt, I am able
to go on and enter the password as well, but I get the
following error message (2x) in the console:

midnight ftpd[292]: open of pid file failed: No such \
file or directory

2)(a) Once logged in, I can 'ls', but I get nothing
whenI use 'ls' with any flags:

ftp> ls -l
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete.

and, (b) I am able to remove the 'ls' binary from
/Users/ftp/bin/ and still perform 'ls'. But no flags work.

3) With ftpd -i in my inetd.conf I do not get any
logging into xferlog.

Any ideas what's going on here? If you would need more
information as to my setup just tell me what to include.

---
Be well

Bill:

Check your /etc/inetd.conf file and on the ftpd line make sure that you
are starting ftpd with the -a switch. Since the betas ftpd no longer
reads ftpaccess by default. The -a switch forces this.

Another useful command is ldd ( I think it is the same on most platforms)
. when you need to find wich files you need to have in the ~ftp/usr/lib
just do 'ldd ~ftp/bin/ls' and try to copy all the needed files to
~ftp/usr/lib ..
The ~ftp/dev/ is much harder to set up if you don't know what you do, but
on my server (SunOS boromir 5.5 Generic sun4c sparc SUNW,Sun_4_50) I got:
ls -l ~ftp/dev
total 0
crw-r--r-- 1 root other 11, 42 Aug 19 10:30 tcp
crw-r--r-- 1 root other 105, 1 Aug 19 10:30 ticotsord
crw-r--r-- 1 root other 11, 41 Aug 19 10:30 udp
crw-r--r-- 1 root other 13, 12 Aug 19 10:30 zero

and that works fine ..

Is there anyway to limit ftp users to certain directory? and How ?
Such as their own directory (cannot go up), or one level up (the
/usr/home
directory). These users can only ftp to the server (no telnet access)
with
passwords. They are not anonymous ftp users

Thanks for your time.

I've seen it under 2.4.2-academ beta 9 on Linux (Redhat). Since it's only
happened once or twice, I've not worried about it. When I noticed it, it
was on service class REMOTE for a guestgroup user; where the limit is 2 it
was shown by ftpwho as limit 4, current users 2. Even though ftpwho showed
incorrect information, the limit was imposed correctly.

Hi All

I have a problem in that a site can not login anonymously log as
follows :-

I can login here without problems, and I have also tried it from
another site on the net ok.

It is just one site that this happens with, any ideas ? There is
nothing in the access file to stop any sites.

Thanks
Paul

This sure confused me badly when I upgraded from wu-2.4 to
wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-11]. Why was this done? I should behave in a reasonable
way when it doesn't find a ftpaccess file but it seems to me that ordinarily
you would want it to look for the ftpaccess file.

You say it's just one machine that you can't connect from ?
Is that machine covered by a deny command in ftpaccess ?
Sometimed there's a line about "deny !nameserverd..." which rejects from
hosts for which it can't resolv a valid name/i.p. address.
Is it mentioned in a file called ftphosts ? ( normally wherever ftpaccess is )
Mind you, if either of these was the problem it should get logged to
the logs. Maybe you're not getting a detailed enough log file.
Check what switches are used when ftpd starts up and what they mean.

I have _ONE_ client who is complaining about speed of their ftp
connection, also the Telnet and Popmail server.

Their web pages seem to be fine speed wise, but during "peak" hours,
only thier telnet/ftp/pop mail is s. l. o. w.

THey have used 4 different accounts on differing ISP,s all from the
Phoenix and Chandler Area. ( including an account on infomagic. )
None of these accounts are compuserve/netcom/AOL type of accounts...

I have tried to duplicate the problem, bot everything seems pretty
normal to me.

Our server is not even breaking a sweat, our T-1 not overloaded,
and only this user has reported these kinds of problems.

Methinks it is a router betwixt us... Any other thoughts, suggestions,
etc. He is Only complaining of the FTP, Telnet, and POP.
He says the his web pages are O.K.

If there is anything in WU-FTP or FreeBSD that can be tweaked on my
end, I am open to suggestions.

This is probably a really STUPID question, but the user isn't using ASCII mode
to transfer their files, are they?

There is no deny message in the ftpaccess file or any other. The ftpd
is kicked off by inetd with simply a '-a' for the config files.

This is wierd, problem is it is new client and he ain't too
impressed. Can you try and login from there, the account is
ftp.microside.com ?

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Files Not Be Displayed
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

This is a strange problem that I would appreciate some assistance
with.

I am making use of the "user" ftp feature available with wu-ftpd. My
users are able to upload files. I am able to confirm transmission of
the files since I can see them on the UNIX server. I can also use
UNIX ftp, use their login id and password and see the files myself.

Here is the problem, if I (or anyone else) use Pathway FTP or
"cuteftp" as a client, the files do not appear to be there. The
directory is there but it appears empty when in reality it is not. I
believe that I checked the file permissions on the UNIX side and all
looks fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I had some users have slowness or stall issues, especially trumpet users,
unless I moved the freebsd boxes the other side of a cisco router.

People dont want to believe me but there is something a bit hokie with
freebsd tcp/ip that I do not see with SCO or Linux - but since going thru
a cisco stops it, I can work with it.

Subject: Help: 'Some' Anonymous users kicked off !
X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.42)
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi All

We are having a VERY strange problem.

An anonymous user (on a PPP dialup) can't connect via anonymous ftp.
He enters anonymous and his email as password (just as normal) and
then he gets the message 'Connection closed by remote host'.

What I can't understand is :-

1/ I have tried to login from a number of other sites and it works
fine.
2/ There is nothing in the ftpaccess file to deny access to anyone !

His IP can not re resolved to an IP address, but this is not the
problem as I have got another users who's IP maps to dns fine but
still has the problem. Could it be problem with speed on dialup ?

If anyone can help I'll email a copy of the ftpaccess file
(privately).

Use are happy to try and connect to test it, it is ftp.microside.com

Many thanks for anything you can offer, I'm getting a bit frustrated
with this now.

Cheers
Paul

Are you launching ftpd from tcpd? If you have tcp_wrappers configured to
verify that a hosts A and PTR records match, then it'll drop a connection
that doesn't.

If moving it to the other side of a Cisco stops the problem, then the
problem isn't with TCP/IP. Problems like this can be caused by a number of
things, ranging from incorrect serial port flow control setting to an
unusual bug in the PPP protocol (I assume you're using PPP?). You might try
disabling VJ header compression if it's enabled and see if that makes any
difference.

I tried connecting to him from a few different ftp clients on a
few different pc's, some with reverse dns and some without and got
through every time.
Sorry it's not much help, but it takes the reverse look up out of
the equation.

Is there anyway to limit ftp users to certain directory? and How ?
Such as their own directory (cannot go up), or one level up (the
/usr/home directory). These users can only ftp to the server (no telnet
access)
with passwords. They are not anonymous ftp users and the home directory
not was under FTP home

Thanks for your time.

hi Paul,

start it with '-dl' so that it logs all debugging information and
transfer sessions as well.

since they are logged through syslog you'll have to hack the syslog.conf
file (ie /etc/syslog.conf) to instruct the syslogd to log whatever ftpd
says. If using Solaris or similar, append the following lines (if not
already present) to syslog.conf

that is,
the anonymous ftp user is defined, that the password is checked but

i've tried to reproduce the problem but keep getting different types

tcp_wrappers _checks_ whether the name found on a reverse lookup gives the
same IP number.

So I connect with 10.0.0.2, tcp_wrapper does a lookup and finds host1.arpa
and then checks whether host1.arpa resolves to 10.0.0.2

So the only time this fails is when a machine _does_ have a reverse DNS
entry but it doesn't match.

Apparently he can connect to some systems like ftp.microsoft.com and
also ftp.netscape.com but not to some other stranger systems. I'll
try and get a list and let you know.

Thanks for the help.

Actually enabling vj compression at the term server (not a freebsd)
elliviated some of it.

Have him try to log into ftp.uu.net. They give you a nice message saying
that you're A and PTR records don't jibe, and then close the connection on
you. Supposing there's a weird problem with a nameserver somewhere, this
could make it explicit.

Duplicate the /etc, /bin, etc. directory structure for ls under the guest
and real accounts. It goes without saying that you are extremely careful
who you give a real account to (if security is a concern on the box).

If possible you should upgrade to the latest wu-ftpd beta below. It has a
number of big fixes and enhancements.

I have an idea that the devices aren't working. I have:

If I try and read the real /dev/zero with "more" it does things, if I try
this with the ~ftp/dev/zero:

# more ~ftp/dev/zero
~ftp/dev/zero: No such device or address
Exit 1

Is this OK? How else do you make these devices apart from mknod?

Subject: Access rights to ftp files
X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.42)
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi All

We have a lot of users on our server that like to telnet in and start
wandering around all the ftp stuff. Is there any way to limit this.

For that matter, is it possible to limit a user to their home
directory ?, ie. Not be able to cd /home/ftp ?

A chroot would not do it as this would limit their access to
everything else.

Cheers
Paul

Hi
I am new to wu-ftpd and I ran into a problem.
I hope someone can help me.
I configured wu-ftpd 2.4 for solaris 2.5.1 as documented.
I set up an anon ftp as described in my man pages.
I can log in as real user an everything works. But if I use
the anon account, ls -l and dir don't work.
Since most of the clients of our customers use Windows
and these graphical clients use ls -l or dir to display the
files I would like to know how to fix it.
Thanks in advance

There are two ways to write error-free programs. Only the third one
works.

Subject: HELP: virtual anonymous users and MSN !
X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.42)
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi All

We are continuing our saga of some users not being able to login
anonymously to our servers.

Just to give you an idea of the setup, we have a number of virtual
servers and also our main one.

Now when a user connected to MSN tries to connect anonymously to a
vitual server, they get disconnected afert typing the password. All
other users seem to work ok from other systems.

This user tried to connect to the virtual ftp account from AOL and it
worked. The only thing that I can see from the logs is that MSN do
not assign a domain name to their dialup IP addresses where AOL do.

I had a look in the src/authenticate.h file. I had the following :-

#define USE_A_RFC931 0

#define A_RFC931 1 << 0;

I changed A_RFC931 to 0 and recompiled, installed. This made no
difference.

Help anyone please, this is causing us bit problems.

Thanks
Paul

It could be any number of things, but what it is used for is to allow that user
to only ftp. It will probably print something like this account is only for ftp
and exit.

Hello All;

I am trying to create an ftp site which no anonymous users are
allowed and all real users are chrooted to thier home dir.

Problems

o They get chrooted OK but there is no ls -la and the
documentation I have seen speaks of _PATH_EXECPATH for
annonymous user classes but I'm not sure how to implement it here.

o I would like to chroot some users to a directory above
thier HOME dir where they are in the same group as other users.
They will have r/w here as well as ls -l ....

Everything else is working great.

Thank you for
any comments or sudjestions (sp)

Scot

Hi all,

I would like to test for the exisitence of the user's home directory when
they login in via ftp (some users home directories are nfs mounted.) If
their home directory is not found I would like to log them out.

Any Suggestions,

This is the location for the latest wu-ftpd. You can't see the
directory contents, but get the file anyway. It's there.
