Hello,

I just installed "wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11" under Solaris 2.5.1 yesterday.
It looks working except "ls -l" for anonymous user. It lists only the
owner and group numbers but not as manes.

I have "~ftp/etc" directory with permissions "dr-xr-xr-x" plus appropriate
files:

-r--r--r-- 1 root other 278 Oct 31 20:14 group
-r--r--r-- 1 root other 1064 Oct 31 20:14 netconfig
-r--r--r-- 1 root other 1184 Oct 31 20:14 nsswitch.conf
-r--r--r-- 1 root other 550 Oct 31 20:14 passwd

Does anybody know what the problem is ?
Thanks in advance,

I had the same problem you are experiencing. The problem has gone when
I added nss_files.so.1 library to the ~ftp/usr/lib. If you are using
NIS or NIS+ you probably should add nss_nis.so.1 or nss_nisplus.so 1
respectively.

Hope this helps.

Would you be so kind as to mail me an ls -l of your ~ftp/usr/lib

They were quite right. I use NIS+ and I need "nss_nisplus.so.1" library into "~ftp/usr/lib".

In short: Yes.

You should be looking at the UPLOAD directive in /etc/ftpaccess.

Since most virtual FTPs have their own root directory (and if it isn't
set up this way, you may run in to some problems), all you need to do is
use the upload directive to set up the perms and ownership.

For example if I had foo1.my.domain and foo2.my.domain and the root
directories are set up as such:

foo1 = /home/foo1-ftp
foo2 = /home/foo2-ftp

Then you should be able to do this in /etc/ftpaccess:

upload /home/foo1-ftp /incoming yes ftp daemon 0600 nodirs

To allow anonymous FTP to upload files to /home/foo1-ftp/incoming with
ownership set to ftp.daemon and permissions set to 0600 without directory
creation access.

Take a look at the ftpaccess man page for better explanation.

I have to admit I don't know how to prevent mail from being
delivered to an ftp site, unless I just redirect it with
procmail. I'm referring to the security warning for mail
delivered to ftp sites;

I don'd understand how one takes advantage of the private
function. I think I understand how to set up a group/passwd in
ftpgroups, but I don't know what I do once I've logged into the
anon site, or the guest site, what to issue as a command(s).

I've read the man pages, but there weren't any examples. And
my density is high.

Thanks for the full list Pavel; I found that I was missing libmp.so.1,
and that was
creating the problem. Adding that library solved the problem for me.

Using procmail (or any other mail forwarding mechanism) is an unnecessary
waste of resources. You should be able to prevent mail from heading towards
a given host by putting in an MX record for that host. Talk to your DNS
admin, and he or she will know what to do.

How about a better answer? Not having an MX record works _only_ if the
machine
in question is not accepting mail at all (in which case playing with MX
records
seems moot, at least with regard to ftp security). Remember, support for
the
MX record is _not_ universal; many systems ignore them completely and
connect
straight to the recipient's machine anyway. As ugly as we may feel that
is,
it's a fact of life we have to live with.

>From my reading of the FAQ and referenced documents (CERT, etc) the best
advice
currently appears to be to create an empty .forward file to disable mail
(as
well as an empty .rhosts for rlogin/rsh/rexec).

The cool thing about UNIX boxes is that you can turn everything and anything
off individually. Just don't start sendmail, or whatever you have listening
at that port. Trust me, no mail will be delivered to the machine. ;-)

It'll make your server faster, too.

Not having an MX record doesn't _ever_ work to _prevent_ mail from arriving.
Lacking an explicit MX record for a host, BIND behaves as though there was a
weight 0 MX record pointing at the host in question.

Actually, what I was talking about was having an MX record inserted for the
ftp server that pointed to your mail server (for instance). This means that
you have a reliable way of getting those informative messages like "Your
server is down", without it having to go through your domain's admin and/or
tech contact, through your site's postmaster, and then (maybe) to you. This
is only if your user base is smart enough to look up your domain's info at
the NIC. Otherwise they get to think you're out of business. Shucks.

These systems are broken, and should not be accomodated. There is no excuse
for a MTA to ignore an MX record. None. Period. In fact, I've yet to see
this behavior, and I'm not going to start anticipating it now.

I don't have to live with it. For instance, if some site can't properly
establish an ftp connection to my system, because their software is broken,
then they should fix their broken software. I'm not going to butcher
anything on my end for that.

In /etc/ there should be a file called shutmsg. Remove this file and ftpd
should run normally again. You can find the exact location and name of
this file in ftpaccess.

Quite true, expect it may not be BIND which makes the decision. It
could be
the local resolver (RESOLVE) or the mail router (SENDMAIL, SMAIL,
etc.). The
relavant RFC's are phrased in terms of the mail router, btw.

RTFRFC. Officially, support for MX is RECOMENDED, not REQUIRED. If
a mail-
sending site chooses to bypass the MX mechanism, so be it. I can
point to a
Fortune-100 company which has gone over to a large, well-known
software
vendor's server which (for whatever brain-dead reason) has choosen
not to
honor MX records. By living with it, I mean (at least for the mail
I'm
getting from such sites) ignoring the non-problem and telling users
to
complain to the site's admin or the brain-dead software vendor (for
all the
good that'd do) when they don't get all their email from the company
in
question.

Yes you do. The subject is ftp security resulting from e-mail
attacks. The
original question was how to set up your ftp site securely with
respect to email.
We've not been talking about attacks from outside the protocols, but
those
_properly_ using the existing protocols to take advantage of security
holes in the
setup of the various server software packages on the target machine.

I summarize the advice I've read as follows:

1) Don't run any mail services. This is best when you have the
resources to
accept mail on a physically separate machine. Be sure to
examine any
connections (dial-up, telnet, nfs, etc) between the machines.
If you don't
happen to have a spare machine to dedicate to your ftp site and
want to
accept both ftp and smtp, this obviously won't work.

2) Run a properly secured mail server, but that's not a subject for
a mailing
list discussing ftp.

3) Use an empty .forward for non-real users (anonymous,
guestgroup). I was
watching for replies to the original posting because I question
the
effectiveness of this approach. Are there any other steps an
ftp admin
can take (presuming the admin has no authority for other
services)?

It seems obvious that ftp site security is not just an ftp server
question. If
the machine is vulnerable through some other service, that
vulnerability may be
exploited to gain unauthorized access or use of the ftp area. If
you're an ftp
admin be sure to work closely with the admins for all other services
on the
machine. Especially, take a close look for services for which nobody
is yet
responsible.

In closing I point to the relavant CERT advisories. CERT takes the
time to
specifically address the problem of those who think they've secured
their system
when, in fact, they have not. Playing with MX records, as was
originally
suggested, has no effect other than to give the ftp admin a false
belief the site
is secure.

If you just want to block mail from being addressed to user ftp,
why not put the following entry into /etc/aliases?

ftp: NoSuchUser

Since you will not have an entry for "NoSuchUser" in your password
file, your system will blandly bounce any incoming mail as being directed
to a non-existent user.

I usually just do something like:

ftp: ftp.

Note the trailing ".". That way, your bounce looks like a genuine bounce
except that those perceptive people will notice that there are four dots
after the name instead of three.

Section 5.3.5 of RFC 1123, (one of the "Hosts Requirements" RFC, now 7
years old) explicitly says MX support is required. Though no doubt there
still are some maladministered sites that don't.

Hi ftp-masters an gurus,

While taking a look to my ftp statistics I got astonished as for one day
I had a total anonymous downloaded count of minus something. So I started
to try to find out the reason ... so I saw in the xferlog an entry with
negative byte_count produce by a nice user retrieving a whole
distribution of linux in a tar file ( overflow of byte_count ).

Ok, byte_count is typed off_t that is long; I wonder if it is worth to
change it in next beta-releases or at least to check for overflow before
logging.

Thanks again to the developers of such a nice thing as wu-ftpd.

Regards,

Javier Puche.

Hi All

Using wu-ftpd 2.4 beta 11 on Linux 1.2.13

The problem is as follows :-

Some users can not login anonymously. I can regenerate this
problem when using my personal dial-up account (which uses another
ISP).

What actualy happens is that the connection is dropped directly after
entering a password. Occasionaly I manage to see the first few lines
of the welcome message. Real users can login perfectly on the same
link !

There is nothing to bar any system from accessing the system in
any of the /etc/ftp* files, and the wu-ftpd program is compiled with
the RFC931 set to 0 in the authentification.h file.

I started to look at tcpd, the wrapper for wu-ftpd. After speaking to
one of the source maintainers he explained that could not be causing
the problem as it would disconnect all users, not just anaonymous
ones.

Anyway if anyone can shed some light on this I would very must
appreciate it.

Cheers
Paul

Hi!

I've installed B11 and configured 'ftpaccess' according to 'VIRTUAL.FTP.SUPPORT'. I've set up two virtual domains using ip-aliasing to point to my Irix 5.3 box.

I have no problems connecting to both virtual domains, but ftpd seemd to ignore the virtual root in 'ftpaccess'.

What I want is that both 'real' and 'anonymous' users should be chroot'ed to the directory specified in file 'ftpaccess' (virtual ip.ip.ip.ip root /path).

Possible? How?

Thanks in advance!

How big/how many lines is your ftphosts file? I was previously running
wu-ftpd v2.4 and ran into a problem after 29 lines. Everytime I
added a 30th line, it denied access to anyone. I switched to beta11
and the problem disappeared.

I am installing wu-ftpd 2.4 on solaris 2.5
I got the build to work but when I run the build install I get the following

# build install
make args are :
make opts are :
mv -f /usr/local/etc/ftpd /usr/local/etc/ftpd-old
Installing binaries.
install -o bin -g bin -m 755 bin/ftpd /usr/local/etc/ftpd
usage: install [options] file [dir1 ...]
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install'

the file ftpd is in wu-ftp-2.4/bin and the diectory /usr/local/etc does exist
I am doing the build install as root.
Any ideas?

It doesn't need to be. It only needs to be world-executable. The
~ftp/etc/passwd, however, does indeed need to be world-readable. The
following are adequate permissions:

% chmod 711 ~ftp/etc
% chmod 644 ~ftp/etc/passwd
% chown -R non-ftp-user ~ftp/etc

Hi Doug!

This error is because the file install exist in the operating
system, then try:

#PATH=./util:$PATH
#build install

good luck!!

Sorry,
I meant executable, but I wrote readable.
IRIX calls it "searchable" in its gui permissions window, and I'm easily
confused.

Edit your /etc/inetd.conf (or wherever this file is on openbsd 2.0) to start up ftpd with the -a option. Otherwise it ignores your ftpaccess file. I just
complained about this recently to the list.

Make sure you call ftpd with the '-a' parameter in your inetd.conf;
otherwise it does not read the ftpaccess file.

for beta-11 the limit is 100
if you want more, you have to recompile and change
this in hostacc.h:

#define MAXLIN 100 /* Max. number of non-comment and non-empty */
/* lines in config file */

1-
IMHO, I would not recommend increasing MAXLIN, ftp is started by
inetd.conf for each connection. So if you have a very big ftphosts
it can|will affect performance.

Having a big ftpaccess is ok, because ftpd will read the file
in a "grandiose" read() ;-) and put everything in memory. The actual
parsing is done in memory, the file(ftpaccess) will
never be access again.

That's not the case for ftphosts where the parsing is done at
each line with fgets(). And if you have a big ftphosts that
is a lot of I/O .

2-
why not trying to do your scheme with the class|limit directives
in ftpaccess ?

this is a FAQ:

8. install fails with 'install: ..'
The makefile is setup for the bsd version of the install
program. Some OS'es (including Solaris) use the svr4 version.
In that case set in the makefile :
INSTALL = /usr/ucb/install

stupid !!! No

:-)
but you should probably read the doc* that come with the wu-ftpd

with beta-* you have to specify "-a" in inetd.conf to make
ftpaccess take effect.

But maybe the problem is elsewhere, an error in ftpacces ?

In your inetd.conf you must specifiy the "-a" command line parameter to
wufptd otherwise it won't read ftpaccess.

The first thing to check is that you are starting ftpd with the "-a" switch...

I know the in the recent versions it no longer reads the ftpaccess file by
default - you must specify "-a" on the command line to make it read the file.

Good luck !

You're right; it is not reading the file. Add the -a flag to your
inetd.conf file, then 'kill -1 <PID_OF_INETD>' to reload the database.

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

1-
ftpd doesn't change root for `real' users. It will only
do chroot() for type `anonymous' and `guest'.

Look at the FAQ to learn how to set `guestgroups'(type `guest').

2-
Don't forget to put the "-a" in the inetd.conf if you
want ftpd to read ftpaccess.

This error is probably the most __FAQ__ in the mailing list

Thanks for any responses to this question:

We are trying to compile the wuftp version 2.4.
Very novice with the c compiler and working with public domain software.
Running Sun SPARCompiler C 4.0 on
an Ultra 140. Got all my paths set right according to the Sun docs.
Also edited the build file according to INSTALL instructions.

The following occurs after issuing "build sol"

make args are :
make opts are :

Linking Makefiles.
ln: makefiles/Makefile.sol and Makefile are identical
ln: config/config.sol and config.h are identical
ln: makefiles/Makefile.sol and Makefile are identical

Making support library.
rm -f libsupport.a
ar cq libsupport.a fnmatch.o strcasestr.o strsep.o authuser.o
touch libsupport.a

Making ftpd.
make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `/lib/libc.a'

there's about another page of messages. Am I missing a Solaris
package here, or is it in the wuftp config files?

thanks again,

Uhm... I'm not sure how the Sun docs are but I allways have to set up
a Sun Sparc compiler different then original to make it work.

Ik have /usr/ccs/bin in my path *before* /usr/ucb, and :

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 24 Jun 6 1995 /usr/ccs/bin/cc -> /opt/SUNWspro/SC2.0.1/cc*

Make sure you're not using /usr/ucb/cc (you don't want to).

Hi,

Has anyone been sucessfull in getting ftpshut to send a message and
disconnet users after a certain time period. I am running wu-2.4.2Beta
11(1) on Linux 2.0.24 Slakware.

I tried ftpshut +20 "Shutting down FTP"

This disables further ftp connections but doesn't send the message to
the connected users nor does it disconnect them.
I tried various other permutations using -d and -l but still can't get
it working.

Any one know hane any ideas ??

Thanks.

No, occasional users trying to anonymously login, which have been
identified to be on dialup. I doubt that this has anything to do with
it though.

This is ok. As I said some users can login anonymously, come not.

Yes, but why does this operate perfectly for some anonymous users and
not for some other anonymous users ?

Thanks for the reply.

Hello:

I had to change the Makefile for wu-ftpd to get it to install on Digital
Unix 4.0. Is there some place I can submit it to so someone else won't
have to?

thanks

All,

I am running the WUFTP 2.4.2 Beta 11 ftp server. I have compiled this to

Here is what I found
Alain Magloire pointed me to the FAQ (I did not know where to find this but
I am glad I know now - http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html

Thanks Alain

A few people mentioned changing the path to the BSD version of install. This
should do the trick.

Thanks.

Up to 8 character passwords is standard crypt() behaviour. The only
options I know of for extending that are to go to doublewide shadow
passwords, but that seems to actually ease the process of breaking the
encryption. I know there are other schemes available for longer pass
phrases, but they would require source hacks.

Subject: File Locking Suggestion
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi:

At my company we routinely receive very large files
at our ftp site (running wuftpd) from vendors over the
internet.

Here's our problem:

We have a script under the control of
cron that executes periodically. The script's job is to
retrieve any deposited files, perform logging and other
file processing.

We very often run into problems when we try to "get" a
file that is still being "put" (The script detects this
situation by comparing the local file size against the
file size on the ftp server-BUT NOT before a very large
transfer is attempted).

I have solved this problem by using file locking (lockf
calls). I lock files being "put" and I check files for a
lock before a "get".

The changes are minor; only one source file is changed
(wftpd.c).

My questions are this:

Is this a OK thing to do? Is it general enough?
Where might it fail?

and if the answer is yes...

Who do I submit these changes (ideas) to?

Thanks for those who reply.

Bill

Hello `Emanuele Buttice', well the thing that we tend to overlook
is the chroot() ... sigh (happens to me all the time) ...

______let's suppose ftp's home is "/home/ftp"__________

for exemple if you have this in your ftpaccess.

"shutdown /etc/shutmsg"

you must have also
__ /home/ftp/etc/shutmsg __

If you don't have this, ``shutdown'' will not work properly for
anonymous ftp. Because of the chroot() for anonymous

"/etc" ---(will map to)---> "/home/ftp/etc"

and when ftpd does the stat() the file will not exist.

So you can do
1-
After doing ``ftpshut +20 "Shutting down of FTP by %E"''
copy by hand /etc/shutmsg in /home/ftp/etc

2-
Roll up your own ftpshut program that will do the
job correctly for `real,anonymous and guests'.
If you do ... __PLEASE__ send me the patch 8-)

3-
The path of least resistance(mine :-), go on a rampage
with ps and kill -9. It is certainly very rude, but
hey ! life's a b... and loving every minute of it >8>

4-
Other possibilities ? please share, I'm
curious to hear them.

I've also had this same problem. I have however, managed to get mine to
work. A lot of your ability to get longer passwords working with wu-ftpd
(and just about any other package requiring identification) is to know
the limitations of the crypt() function within libc.a (or other
alternative). If you have a supplemental version of a crypt()-like
function that you KNOW works with the encryption in your passwd file (or
shadow file, whatever) then can make a simple change in ftpd.c.

For example: Here's the function I changed in ftpd.c to get my long
passwords working...

void
#ifdef __STDC__
pass(char *passwd)
#else
pass(passwd)
char *passwd;
#endif
{
char *xpasswd,
*salt;

#ifdef ULTRIX_AUTH
int numfails;
#endif /* ULTRIX_AUTH */

if (logged_in || askpasswd == 0) {
reply(503, "Login with USER first.");
return;
}
askpasswd = 0;

/* Disable lreply() if the first character of the password is '-' since
* some hosts don't understand continuation messages and hang... */

if (*passwd == '-')
dolreplies = 0;
else
dolreplies = 1;
/* ******** REGULAR/GUEST USER PASSWORD PROCESSING ********** */
if (!anonymous) { /* "ftp" is only account allowed no password */
if (*passwd == '-')
passwd++;
#ifdef SHADOW_PASSWORD
if (pw) {
struct spwd *spw = getspnam( pw->pw_name );
if (spw) {
/* TODO: check if password has expired etc. */
pw->pw_passwd = spw->sp_pwdp;
}
#if 0 /* Shadow passwords are optional on Linux. --marekm */
else
pw->pw_passwd = "";
#endif
/* marekm's fix for linux proc file system shadow passwd exposure problem */
endspent();
}
#endif

*guestpw = '\0';
if (pw == NULL)
salt = "xx";
else
salt = pw->pw_passwd;
#ifdef KERBEROS
xpasswd = crypt16(passwd, salt);
#else
#ifdef SKEY
xpasswd = skey_crypt(passwd, salt, pw, pwok);
pwok = 0;
#else
#ifdef SHADOW_PASSWORD
xpasswd = pw_encrypt(passwd, salt);
#else
xpasswd = crypt(passwd, salt);
#endif
#endif
#endif
[ ... rest of function proceeds unimpared...]

I hated to have to copy all of that, but this should be enough to give
you a concise idea as to WHERE in the code you need to be. Note the
block:

#ifdef SHADOW_PASSWORD
xpasswd = pw_encrypt(passwd, salt);
#else

replacing pw_encrypt() with your crypt()-like function I discussed
earlier and also replacing SHADOW_PASSWORD with a define of your own
devising (ie MY_CRYPT) .. don't forget to add the "-DMY_CRYPT" to your
CFLAGS section in ./Makefile!! :>

Note: I do think that hacking the authentication code in this manner has
the potential to open up security bugs. Be VERY careful about the
function you use to authenticate. Of course, I'm probably being paranoid,
but a lil paranoia never hurt anyone! :>

That should be enough to get you going. If I have lost you, then drop me
a line and I'll see if I can help out more.

Honestly? How is this possible? I thought that with an increase of
password size, you also increased the difficulty? Is this just with
the doublewide shadow implementation?

Well, Michael is right.

Most Shadow suites enclose code for doubling the length of passwds to
16 char's. The passwd-encryption-function (crypt) is based on
DES-algorithm, where the key is a users passwd and the encoded string
is NULL.
Because of the behaviour of (crypt) DES-Experts don't recommend
doubling the length of passwd's. The encoding is simply applied first to the
left half and then to the right half of the longer passwd. Therefore
it isn't more secure...

For futher information take a look at
'applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms and Source Code in C'
by Bruce Schneier

And this is not only with the doublewide shadow implementation.
There's work in progress to enhance the passwd authentication by
using a more secure algorithm (MD5) and support for long passwd's.

Web browsers usually do passive ftp (i.e. communicate on ports >1024 for
data connections. Thus opening port 20 and 21 won't help. You'll have to
open the 'high' ports for incoming tcp connections in your firewall to
your
bastion host.

Ok,
Here is everything I had to do to compile WUFTPD 2.4.2 Beta 11 on a
Digital Unix machine running the C2 security.

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

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

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

LIBES = -lsupport -lsecurity -laud

and change all occurances of crypt() to bicrypt()
(found in ftpd.c and private.c - lets hear it for GREP!!)

Once that was done, the program compiled correctly. I have both anonymous
and authenticated FTP logins working.

Thanks For Everyone's Help!!

I'm not a cryptographer at all, but I do try to at least follow the issues
a bit to stay up with where the weaknesses are. The problem is the way
the doublewide encryption is done. Per the shadow password docs, it is
done in two stages, and the way it is done leaves a more predictable text
pattern in the encrypted password so that cracking it can become easier.
I do not know the effort to do so; DES cracking is already essentially out
of range for all but the very largest companies and governments, and I
don't know how quantifiably easier this makes it.

Ho !! not at all _AU CONTRAIRE_
This will break the monotony of the usual "_put_-a_and_RTFM" answers.
After all, this is a place for general discussions and
bouncing new ideas ;-)

Where you can submit the patches ? ... I don't know
But according to ``koos V.D.H'' it's

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

Usually I don't care for new versions. If someone has a new
idea|patch and it can be of use. I implemente it on my side.

Now for the locking scheme. Altought I think it will
be of seldom use to me. I'm curious about those issues.

1-
Security: I'll never move around blindly files that anybody
could put in my Ftp server. So to do a cron jobs like the one
you have, .. send bad vibes to my spine as a sys adm.

2-
What kind of lock do you use: advisory|mandatory ?

3-
if mandatory. What do you do about deadlocks ?
-How to prevent malicious attacks: a user putting a lock on the
file
-Runaway process still having the lock
-You'll be suprise of how many broken implementations of Mandatory
locks ;)

4-
if advisory. then what's the point really. All process
must implement the scheme... not transparent. In fact
the use of "overwrite no" should suffice.

5-
is it {,non}blocking ?

6-
what about those who share ~ftp across machines ?

7-
and if your cron job is running on an other machine
then ftpd ? I guess you must have some lock deamon
to share locks :(

8-
protability issue ? lockf() is not on all platform
some use fcntl() to perform locking.

9-
Well that's enough ;-)

10-
I'm still very curious to see the code

Hello `Emanuele Buttice'
I forgot one elegant solution would be to:

--ftpaccess--
shutdown /etc/ftpmsgs/shtumsg

then do a link

/etc/ftpmsgs --> /home/ftp/etc/ftpmsgs

this will permit ftpshut to work for both `real' and `anonymous'

Note:
Of course this will not take care of all the problem if you
Virtual FTP and guestgroups :(. They probably do a different chroot().

The ftp access is not anonymous. Each vendor has its own
login. The received files are ALL handled with a single script.
Everything is logged and all file are interogated to determine
what format they are in. So... I think I'm ok on the security
front.

Advisory.

Well, the only process that should interact with these files
is wuftpd. So while not fool proof, in practice, I think it
works quite well (particularily for remote ftp servers beyond
the firewall).

If a file is locked, you just get a 450 message saying the
file is in use. So its non blocking.

Don't quite understand your question here.

Nope. The locks are server side only.

Yea, I know that I need ifdefs for the machines that don't
do locking my way.

I inserted only ten lines of code. As I look at it I realize
it may need a little work. I did test it though: haven't found anything
wrong with it yet.

I can send it to you if you really want it.

Hello,

I have recently set up an anonymous ftp site at my company. It works
fine, but it is missing one thing. WHen i log in as anonymous, I can put
garble(anything) as a password. How can i fix it to make it say, That is
not a valid password, use: [email protected] (the real users domain). Ive
seen this on some major site and think it is a good thing to have. Does
anyone know?? Thanks for any wisdom that might be passed on to me.

Hello,

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

I am a internet-provider and a linux-machine is with wu-ftp
2.4.2-academ[BETA-10](1) running with virtual hosts.
One of my costomer want anonymous ftp and real-user ftp with the same
domain. I don't know how to configure?
Other Problem:
Since I installed linux 4.3 at my web-Server a costomer can login with
his password at a other virtual domain on the same pc and he becomes the
rights of the other domain. If he did this on linux 4.2, he became his
own directory! What is diffrent?
Example:
User A is login at FTP.A.COM with password abc:
He becomes the home-dir of a.
User A is login at FTP.B.COM with password abc:
He becomes the root-dir of FTP.B.COM! Thats false!

See:
# passwd-check <none|trivial|rfc822> [<enforce|warn>]

I have hacked the beta-11 code to extend the rfc822 checking to reject
various known bogus passwords (mozilla@ comes to mind :-). I currently
have this set to warn on our ftp site, ftp.celestial.com, and am
considering putting this to enforce (after all giving valid e-mail
address is a small price to pay for the free software that people
download from our site). The main problem with doing this at this
time is that there's no way to get Netscape 2.0 to provide a real
e-mail address replacing their mozilla crap.

In your ftp_access file:

passwd-check <none|trivial|rfc822> (<enforce|warn>)
Define the level and enforcement of password checking
done by the server for anonymous ftp.

none no password checking performed.
trivial password must contain an '@'.
rfc822 password must be an rfc822 compliant
address.

warn warn the user, but allow them to log in.
enforce warn the user, and then log them out.

I've done something similar with the internal FTP server I run here - people
have to supply their employee number, rather than some arbitrary email
address.

Browsers tend to try to supply an email address by default, which would
be rejected by the FTP server. I got round the problem by writing a CGI
script which prompts the user for their number, and then uses this to
return the HTTP "Location:" header to the browser, with the password they
entered built in to the URL. This seems to work fine.

Then instead of creating a straight link to your FTP server on the original
HTML page, you create a link to the CGI script instead.

Hope this suggestion helps !

Cheers, Bob

My HTML and CGI is out of date but if a user specify a URL like this in
the Web Browser:

ftp://your.host.name/pub/foo.txt

I don't think CCI scripts will help. The browser will contact
directly the FTP daemon.

What I mean is: once they pass the CGI script and enter
FTP, when they save the link in their Bookmarks .. It will
show:
ftp://hostname...

Actually this just gets it to go to the site without password checking.
It will force netscape to ask for a password if the URL is something like:
ftp://anonymous@ftp.celestial.com/pub/foo.txt

This doesn't help though if the person simply puts ftp://site.name/ in
manually since Netscape will then supply it's Mozilla silliness.

This is a good point Alain. My original suggestion was aimed at people
putting links to specific FTP files/directories in their HTML, but you are
right. If a user types this into a browser directly, this will always fail
to work, because they haven't supplied the password.

But...

If they type
ftp://ftp@your.host.name/pub/foo.txt
^^^
or ftp://anonymous@your.host.name/pub/foo.txt
^^^^^^^^^
then the browser should pop up a prompt asking them to enter their password.
This works in both Mosaic and Netscape.

You can also include URLs like this in your HTML anchors, and they'll work
the same way. I forgot to mention this last time. (I use a CGI script
because I want to use a cookie to save their password, so they don't have to
enter it again in a future session, but the solution above works just as
well.)

Alternatively, if the URL used is (whether they type it or follow a link)
ftp://ftp:[email protected]/pub/foo.txt
^^^ ^^^^^^^^
they will get the file straightaway, without seeing the dialog box, because
they have already supplied the password.

> What I mean is: once they pass the CGI script and enter

> ^^^

In the above cases, the URL saved will be
ftp://ftp@your.host.name/pub/foo.txt
or
ftp://ftp:[email protected]/pub/foo.txt
as appropriate, and so the bookmark will work when they use it - it's the
same as what they typed in the first time.

The same thing happens when they use my CGI script which builds the URL
for them - it gets saved as
ftp://ftp:[email protected]/pub/foo.txt
in the bookmark file, so no problem...

For some reason the 'enforce' doesn't seem to work here (FreeBSD 2.x.5
where x is 0 and 1). It also doesn't seem to matter if there are ()'s
around the 2nd keyword or not. Users do get warnings but are never logged
off.

BTW why is there no description of the guestserver directive in the
ftpaccess manpage? I find it a very handy feature and haven't had problems
with it yet.

Thank You, `Bob Luckin', for the explainations.

It cleared some questions. I realise, that I didn't
do my homeworks with HTTP/1.1|URL|COOKIES I would be curious
to see your CGI script and probably other member of this list
too... if it's available ;-) If not, thanks again.

Hmm. It doesn't contain anything which could be classed as a technical
secret, but knowing company beaurocracy I probably ought to clear it
with someone first... :-( I'll try and see how easy this is, but no
promises.

If there is enough interest I'll see what I can do, although I'm about to
go off-site for a week, so it'll be some time before I can get round to it.

Cheers, Bob

Hi, Dear wu-ftpd users
I installed wu-ftp-2.4.2 on solaris 2.5.1 with ultra sparc 2.
When I was typed "ls", the results are misssing first 2 charcters
of all filenames.
I tried installing ftp-ls, and I compiled wu-ftp with gcc.
But the trouble doesn't clear.
What shall i do?
Regards.

HI list members,

I have the WU-FTP 2.4 installed on a Solaris 2.5 box.

I have a problem of uploads rights. I take a look at the FAQ but no =

real answer (I think). So, here is my problem :

I want the real users be able to upload things in the /pub directory =

of the anonymous server but I don t want guests or anonymous to be able =

to do that.

The reason: my users (the real ones) want to update the pub directory =

and I wish to set up an easy way to do that. So, I think to authorize =

the upload for real users and not for anonymous. If possible, I want to =

set the owner/mode of the created files.

I take a look at the 'upload' in ftpaccess but I can t see how to =

achieve this.

Is there a solution ? Should I upgrade to 2.4.2 beta 11 ?

I include below an extract of my ftpaccess file:

# all the following default to "yes" for everybody
delete no guest,anonymous # delete permission?
overwrite no guest,anonymous # overwrite permission?
rename no guest,anonymous # rename permission?
chmod no anonymous # chmod permission?
umask no anonymous # umask permission?

# specify the upload directory information
upload /util/ftp/site * no
upload /util/ftp/site /incoming* yes ftp nobody 0600 dirs
upload /util/ftp/site /pub* yes ftp nobody 0666 dirs

upload /util/ftp/site /private/eo/incoming* yes eo ftponly 0600 dirs
upload /util/ftp/site /private/gomos/* yes gomos ftponly 0600 dirs

Thanks in advance .

Incorrect statement, since I've just found that without ()'s it works.

# password check: must be rfc822 compliant or the user is logged off
passwd-check rfc822 (enforce)

But I've found that
passwd-check rfc822 enforce
does work..

--- rfc822 enforce/warn ---

I'm enticed to say: use the source Jim :) (that's how I found it).
Basically, it's just an entry that's used when user ftp is not in
the /etc/ftpusers file but you want anonymous logins to try another
server. Useful when you're moving a server and don't want to create extra
messages. Say, someone is supposed to use ftp.iaehv.nl instead of
whatever.iaehv.nl, because 'whatever' is now something else but still
people are trying to connect to it. Just add the following to
/etc/ftpaccess:

guestserver ftp.iaehv.nl

and upon login users get the following message:
'Guest login not allowed on this machine, use ftp.iaehv.nl instead'
and they're disconnected.

Yes it does, but it's not a real check i.e it just
check the syntaxe([email protected]) to be rfc822 adress compliant.

So I can loggin to the ftp server and do

user ftp
pass [email protected]

and it will work fine. So putting
rfc22 enforce
will in no way coerce clients to put they're real email as passwd.

Having `mozilla@' or some funny putting `[email protected]'
it's equally bad.

wu-ftpd relies on identd to have accurate information on the users.

I haven't looked at the recent version os wu-ftpd, but I've considered
a number of times of creating a "bad-passwd" file in which there could be
things like mozilla@ and several other rather common bogus setups. If it
gets one of those, it would just send back a message stating their address
is incorrect and drop them. Like stated below, ident is not really an
answer as not all sites have it, or if they do it's not accurate anyway.

I've looked through the whole archive for this mailing list and still have
no clear answers on this subject. Here's the scenario:

- we don't want anonymous access enabled
- we would like our existing users to login with their existing passwd
- we need them to be restricted to their base default dir
(like the anonymous server behaves)

Is this possible ?

I've been working on this too. There's an excellent set of instructions
for this at ftp://ftp.fni.com/pub/wu-ftpd/guest-howto.

I have problems, though, getting files uploaded to the home directory of
guest accounts using Netscape 3.0. This may seem silly at first, but
most of my customers are using netscape to publish documents to their
space on the web server. When logged in under a guest account, Netscape
will let you do downloads and directory listings normally, but comes up
with a core dump or a page fault error when you try to write a file.
Using any other ftp client to upload (WRQ Reflection FTP, or solaris FTP
client) works fine, just not netscape.

Also, uploading works fine with netscape, when logged in under a normal,
non-guest account.

If you have any ideas, let me know by posting to the list, or e-mail,
and I'll summarize later. Send mail to [email protected].

In /etc/password you need to place a /./ in the path of the user's home
directory to designate the ftp root for a user.

User max with directory /usr/people/max could look like:

/usr/people/max/./

On some systems there were problems with the /./ at the end. in that
case,
double the max to max/./max. That would however be an attack to the
'fine taste'
of some sysadmin and user directories.

If you want existing users to login with pass, create a 'group' in your
ftpaccess
which requires users to be 'real'.

> Is this possible ?

It is. Play around with the groups and setup files to try to get the
hang of it.
If you don't get to anywhere, ask again and i'll look into my config to
give
you some more precise hints ;)

I hacked ftpd.c to treat ALL users (uid > 500 in my case actually) as Guests.
Then I hacked the '/./' trick out, and instead made a chdir/chroot to the
home directory. Then I made sure to put /bin/ls in everybody's home.
Works wonders for me, but bear in mind that I did this to be a QUICK
solution, nothing else.

Like when users start their own identd's.

Of course, that's what the rfc822 says doesn't it? :)

Right, but at least it is some incentive (and since there is no other
mechanism available yet..)

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

Hi,
I'm looking for way to setup virtual hosting with my ftp server to match
services provided via httpd. Anyone know if this is possible with WU FTP?
Or have any experience with this sort of thing?

U can upgrade to beta-xx for many reasons(virtual patch, security, ...)
But I doubt that will solve you're configuration problem.

Well from a first look, U can do a couple of improvement

upload /util/ftp/site * no
upload /util/ftp/site /incoming yes ftp nobody 0600 dirs
upload /util/ftp/site /incoming/* yes ftp nobody 0600 dirs
upload /util/ftp/site /pub yes ftp nobody 0666 dirs
upload /util/ftp/site /pub/* yes ftp nobody 0666 dirs

upload /util/ftp/site /private/eo/incoming yes eo ftponly 0600 dirs
upload /util/ftp/site /private/eo/incoming/* yes eo ftponly 0600 dirs
upload /util/ftp/site /private/gomos yes gomos ftponly 0600 dirs
upload /util/ftp/site /private/gomos/* yes gomos ftponly 0600 dirs

why putting "/pub" and "/pub/*" ?
If you only have "/pub/*" you will be able to upload
in all the subdirectories underneath pub but __not in pub__ ;-)
It's a little bug in the regex.

Hi. I'm new to the list and need to understand what advantages there are
to using 2.4.2 beta 11. The reason is that we have a rather well-seated
policy about not using beta software in a production environment here.
Are there problems with 2.4 that would give me grief? Is there a README
or a web site I could go to to give myself a clue?

Thank You,

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

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

I'm a rookie in this discussion and I was curious if anyone
has had any problems with mget in 2.4.2(b11)? The command
seems to do nothing when I try to get a group of files.

Also, has anyone had any problems sending data via passv ftp?
I have not been able to successfully use pasv to transfer files
from my site to another. However, it works fine when trying to retrieve
data from another site.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If your OS is Solaris 2, it could be a problem with the permissions on the file
~/ftp/dev/tcp

On Solaris 2 machines (at least) the ftpd needs world rights to write to it,
otherwise it won't allow a passive connection from an anonymous user.

Try checking the permissions on this file, and run "chmod 666" if
necessary.

For more information on this problem, have a look at the FAQ located at
http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html
That's what helped me to solve the problem when I came across it...

Good luck !

Cheers, Bob

Subject: Kerberos support and academ 11
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I know that there now is version of wu-ftpd (academ -11 ) which
configures and compiles easily under NetBSD.

I know there is a kerberized (and AFSized) version of wu-ftpd available
from CMU.

I'm wondering if anyone has gotten these two things to happen together.

I guess what I'm asking is: what would it take to get the version CMU
used to support kerberized ftp (normal beta-11) to compile under NetBSD
(like academ 11)? Does anyone have diffs or somethings that I could use
to update normail beta 11 to something like academ beta-11? Does anyone
know what had to happen to get it to compile properly under NetBSD?

I did infact once (a while ago) get it to compile on my NetBSD system.
However, it wouldn't download things properly. I'd get errors like
"can't find file <name of file i was trying to download>" even though it
would list the directory fine, and even upload properly.

TIA.

Hello,

I have Linux-ELF (2.0.24), gcc 2.7.2.

When I wanted to compile wu-ftpd.2.4.2-beta11 I got an error, which I
could solve by adding -DDIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS to CFLAGS in the
Makefile.lnx (as someone suggested in newsgroup comp.os.linux.
networking)

After compiling (I need this version because of the virtual function)
and installing the FTP server it worked, except that he doesn't seem
to be able to calculate the number of user currently logged in. When
using ftpcount I always get 0 as the number of logged in users.
It also doesn't seem to be able to set the root to the one specified
with the virtual command.

I would appreciate very much, if someone could tell me where to find a
working Version or tell me how to make my Version work.

Thanks a lot

Mirko

I have RedHat 4.0 and Beta 11 ftpd.

Two questions really....

1) What should I look to in order to get ls
to work properly. I have Beta 9 working
on a Slack 30 machine. I 've compared
all permissions and they seem to be consistent
with the docs. It doesn't complain, just list nothing
when there IS several items/dirs to list.

2) The Beta 9 version that I compiles and installed by
hand on the Slack 3.0 system, has no files in the
/home/ftp/lib directory and all seems to be well.
How can I use the ls command without the /libs?
Can I get rid of the lib files without harm?

Thanks...Jeff

Read the guest howto below and install 'ls' and whatever else it needs as
described in the howto. It sounds like you are close and may only need a
statically compiled ls program.

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

FYI only,

I just looked through the archives to try to solve a problem I was
having. "ls" would not work for anyone accessing our ftp server except
root. After skipping over basics and trying to check config file
changes, ~/bin/ls, ~/etc/passwd&group, libraries, etc. I found the
problem was that the /tmp filesystem was full, not allowing "ls" to
create output.

Back to lurking,

Boyd

Sounds like it's not reading the /etc/ftpaccess. Add the switch -a to
the commandline in /etc/inetd.conf.

Also, some distributions want to use /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess while the original
source archive wants to use /etc/ftpaccess.

Hi all,
I am getting a weird error in my syslog pertaining to wu-ftp2.4 on Solaris

Here it is: Sleep: fcntl lock of pid file failed: Resource Temporarily

What can this be? I believe that this is limiting the number of users

Hello List Watchers,

I am trying to compile the 2.4.2.-BETA-11 version on a DEC Alpha 2100
running Digital Unix 4.0. While compiling access.c my DEC (cc) compiler
generated the following warning:

Warning: access.c, line 366: In this statement, & before array "class"
ignored.
memset((void *)&class, 0, sizeof(class));
-----------------------^

With regards to the code, I must say that I am unfamiliar with this
particular construct. Does the author wish to define a pointer to a
pointer or was the inclusion of the "&" an oversight? Looking at the
memset() function, the first argument must be a pointer so I understand
the typecast to void pointer. It's that darn &class that's got me!

Any help from anyone would be beneficial. I am not subscribed to the
list so please reply directly to me. Thanks a million in advance...Joe

Hello
I just found some things in the code that I think shouldn't be there ..
but because I am not sure.. I'll ask it to you listusers ..

file: ftpd.c lines: 1259 - 1263
/* ******** REGULAR/GUEST USER PASSWORD PROCESSING ********** */
if (!anonymous) { /* "ftp" is only account allowed no password */
if (*passwd == '-')
passwd++;
#ifdef SHADOW_PASSWORD

..
Why isn't regular users allowed to have a negativ sign starting the
passwd?
In telnet and the old ftpdeamon that was okey..

Hello,
I am getting a " Sleep: fcntl lock of pid file failed: resource

for this? Any ideas? The Archives touch on some pid errors but not this
one.

TIA

They can. The leading '-' character I think is there to deal with
some brain-dead ftp clients and is used to suppress messages that may
cause them to barf.

If the regular user does have a leading '-' in their password, they
would simply have to double it to '--' (much the same way that cu,
rlogin, and some other programs treat the '~' character that's used to
prefix commands when they start a new line).

Is there an FAQ for WU-FTPD?

I am trying to use the class parameter in /etc/ftpaccess like this:

class local real,guest,anonymous *.ntscom.com
class remote real,guest,anonymous *

limit local 50 Any /usr/local/lib/ftpd/msg.toomany
limit remote 20 Any /usr/local/lib/ftpd/msg.toomany

What happens is that when I log into the server anonymously from the
ntscom.com domain and then do a `ftpwho` from another shell account I get
this:

Service class local:
- 1 users ( 50 maximum)

Service class remote:
- 0 users ( 20 maximum)

When I log onto the server as a real user this is what I get:

Service class local:
- 0 users ( 50 maximum)

Service class remote:
- 0 users ( 20 maximum)

You will notice that it doesn't add the real user to the local class, and
there for doesn't let me limit the number of real users online.

System Info:
Linux 2.0.24 DEC/ALPHA
Red Hat 4.0
wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-11](1)

Any ideas on this?

Thanks,

I am using the guestgroup parameter in /etc/ftpaccess to restrict real
users to their home directories. Everything seems to work for the most part
except when the real user needs to delete a file or directory. I duplicated
the directory structure of the /home/ftp for each of the real users (is
there a better way to do this?). There is no rm or rmdir in the /bin dir. I
put them both there to see if it would change things, but of course it didn't.

What would be the next best thing to try?

Thanks,

Got a quick question: when I do an 'ls -l', the timezone on the files I put are
exactly 6 hours off. I copied the file TIMEZONE and the
/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/US/Central file to ~ftp/usr/lib/ directory and it still
doesn't work. I assume I don't need to copy all the files in
/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo? The system's /etc/TIMEZONE is a link to
/etc/default/init.

The faq also mentioned about recompiling wu-ftpd with SPT_TYPE #undef-ined. Is
it by default to define SPT_TYPE? I ask this because I didn't do anything to
the Makefile except for adding 'DPARANOID -DANON-ONLY' to the CFLAGS line.

What else am I missing?

Thanks,

Thuy

This is what the ftp-exec directory is all about. For guest accounts,
create a ~/bin/ftp-exec directory that contains the executables that you
want to run. If you use dynamically linked ones, you will also have to
structure the ~/etc, ~/lib, ~/dev ad nauseum directories as needed. You
will have to train your users to use "site exec cmd file" type commands
also. Check the docs for more specific info.

I went to ftp.academ.com and got the latest beta release 2.4.2 11. I use
linux so i added the #define DIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS hack to the glob.c. I
also added #define SHADOW_PASSWORD and #define VIRTUAL in the config.h.
I compiled ftpd and everything seemed to work fine. I did some testing
and things are wonderful when doing anonymous ftp to ftp.realsite.com.
But when I got my virtual sites set up I tried to do a ftp to
ftp.virtualsite.com and log in as anonymous, and I got a strange error:

421 service not avaiable, remote server has closed connection
Login failed.
No control connection for command: Illegal seek

What did I do wrong?! Everything works fine except going to virtual hosts
anonymously. I can go to a virtual host and log in as a normal user
fine. Are there any other linux hack's or patches that I need to fix
some of these problems? Please send me all the linux hacks or patches if
you know of any. Thank You

Subject: 'ps -ef' output
X-Mailer: Elm [revision: 112.6]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello,

wu-ftpd is nice. A lot more configurable than the standard that came w/
our system. However there was one feature of the old default server that
wuftpd doesn't seem to support:

We're running HP-UX 10.10. When using the default HP ftpd and I type
'ps -ef | grep ftp' I get something like the following:

root 19813 591 0 0:42 ftpd 131.120.59.51: dmdc: STOR GAIN9093.TXT
root 21218 591 0 0:00 ftpd 128.183.36.23: anonymous/junk@: TYPE I

With wuftpd running and typing the same command I get:

root 20997 591 0 16:49:25 ? 0:07 ftpd -a -l

The 1st shows who's connected from where doing what. The 2nd just spits
out the entry from /etc/inetd.conf. Of course I can disect who is doing
what from the syslog and netstat, etc. But I am wondering is there a way
to get wuftpd to display more info via ps? 'ps -ef | grep ftp' is a very
handy way to keep track of transfers, etc, some of which take several hours.

Any advice?

Thanks

Chuck Davis

Hi, wu-ftpd users!
I installed wu-ftpd on solaris 2.5.1 with sun ultra sparc 2.
I want to install mirror for ftp server,
but I don't know how to setup mirror(if possible, mirror-2.8).
Would you help me, please?
Regards.

Well don't bother providing rm | rmdir etc ..
it's a real pain if they're not statically link
and security hazards.

FTP as enough internal commands

DEL (delete)
RMD (rmdir)

just don't forget to enable it in the ftpaccess
and of course the permission must be right.

ftpaccess-----
delete yes guest
etc ...
see man page

Did you duplicate the ~ftp structure in the rootdir of the virtual ftp
site? I.e. created etc, bin, pub and all that jazz in the directory
pointed to by virtual <ip> root <dir> in ftpaccess?

1-
First start by installing Perl
Mirror is a set of perl scripts.
2-
Read the documentations|man pages that comes with it.

I recently 'inherited' a mess of an FTP server, and I am learning everything the hard way.
I have a few questions that I hope someone can and will answer.

1. We seem to be running the well known wu-ftpd 2.4 ftpd, but how to I know that is true? Is
there a way to find out ?

2. I have 'ftpd -a' in the inetd.conf file, which I understand enables the /etc/ftpaccess file.
But almost everything I try using the ftpaccess file causes problems.

2a. I have a few 'upload' entries for 'incoming' directories specifying the owner/group and
permissions on files put here. When I add 'nodirs' to these lines, nobody (including local
users) is able to create a directory anywhere under the FTP home directory.

2b. When I try to add restrictions for the file names using the path-filter command, it seems to
restrict all users from creating any directories at all!

3. All file transfers are beign logged. Is this the default ? I tried to add an entry in the
ftpaccess file to log user commands, but it is not doing anything that I can see.

Is there some common theme behind all these ?

Thanks
Krishna

I'm new to this list, so my first question which may have been asked
before is: Can anyone provide information about work that has been
done to create a threaded version of the wuftpd server.

When you connect to the server, it should give the version number:

% ftp foobar.intelenet.net
Connected to foobar.intelenet.net.
220 foobar.intelenet.net FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-11])
Thu Sep 26 11:00:07 PDT 1996) ready.

This is a bug in at least some versions of ftpd, including
wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-11], the latest release.

Sounds like the 'nodirs' problem to me - you're sure it's the
path-filter that makes the difference?

It apparently logs user commands to the daemon syslog, not the xfer_log.

Hi wu-ftp users,

everything works fine with our wu-2.4(23)-ftp newly installed at a
AIX 3.2.5 system except the ftpshut facility which does not operate as
expected. When a command ftpshut hhmm 'message' is submitted, the message
file defined by the shutdown <path> in ftpaccess is written correctly.
But when the time hhmm has come nothing happens to active sessions, they
neither get a message nor are they killed. Also new sessions can be opened
after the time hhmm. But after some time (one hour ?) new attempts to open
a session are rejected with the message "<hostname> FTP server shut down
-- try later". Active sessions still continue apparently for ever.
What is wrong, any hints are appreciated.

Have you tried running `ftpwho`. It should have been avaliable with wu-ftpd.

Ahhh, It makes sense now!!! I was wondering what the guest option in
ftpaccess was being used for. I kept thinking that they were still
classified as real users. It now works perfectly!!!

Looking only at this, the expression is only taking the
address of class and casting it as a pointer to void type.

The only way this would be a "pointer to a pointer" is if
class is already a reference to something.

Is it the typecast (void *) that has confused you?

I don't know if anyone has but I have to ask: Why?

When in the inetd process, every user that logs in gets his very own
instance of ftpd, doesn't he? Because ftpd transfers files, and is
therefore bound to the disk, what advantages are there to multithreaded
ftpd's?

Bob,

You are right, I am running the wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-11] version.
What version should I use? Hopefully there is one that does not have these problems!

By the way, I made a mistake in my original posting - when I try to set up a path-filter entry,
users are prevented from creating files (not just directories, as I said before) and the
path-filter message file is printed out.

Thanks
Krishna Panyam

When you connect to the server, it should give the version number:

% ftp foobar.intelenet.net
Connected to foobar.intelenet.net.
220 foobar.intelenet.net FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-11])
Thu Sep 26 11:00:07 PDT 1996) ready.

This is a bug in at least some versions of ftpd, including
wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-11], the latest release.

Sounds like the 'nodirs' problem to me - you're sure it's the
path-filter that makes the difference?

It apparently logs user commands to the daemon syslog, not the xfer_log.

Wu-ftpd have some nice feature:
limit
class
etc ..

With inetd spawning ftpd proccesses left, right and center
they must be a way to have accounting.

Wu-ftpd does that by a file _PATH_PIDNAMES (check pathnames.h
or ckconfig for the location).

On every connection ftpd will put a lock on the file
and add an entry and if the total number is over limit(in ftpaccess)
send a message back, release the lock and exit(it's a bit more than that
but you got the idea).

If ftpd can not have LOCK_EX(exclusive lock) it will send
a mesage to syslog sleep a while and try again.

The scheme is simple but many things could go wrong.
a- a runaway process that still hold the lock
b- a _VERY_ busy site
c- a malicous user that had put a lock(U must have O_RDWR to the file)
d- lots I mean _LOTS_ of connection from Web Browsers
e- a script or a cron job using ftp{count,who}
f- in ftpaccess you have lot of classes
g- etc ...
....

I have a busy ftp server(SunOS-4.x) ... but still I never seen this
message. But I was expecting it, with many connections coming
from Web Browser, http has this one command one connection mentality.

I don't have a real remedy, but
1-
shudown properly ftp
2-
go on a hunt of all ftpd process remaining
3-
rm _PATH_PIDNAMES
4-
reenable ftp
5-
make sure the permission on the _PATH_PIDNAMES is 644

There's probably many other things that I missed ;(
Good luck anyway

Please excuse what may be a simple question for the experts on this list:

We're using the wu-ftpd 2.1 server on a SunOS system. I need to restrict
access to certain directories to a group of users. Ideally, I'd like those
users to be able to log in using a specific group name and a password. Is it
possible to accomplish this *without* creating an actual /etc/passwd account
on the machine hosting the ftp daemon? I.e., is there some way to configure
the ftp server itself to recognize user names and passwords, without also
creating entries in /etc/passwd just for purposes of ftp access?

I've been looking through the documentation supplied with wu-ftpd for nearly
an hour and can't see a way, though I see there are mechanisms that deal with
groups and authentication. However, those *seem* to work only with SITE
commands, after you've already logged in using a real account. That's not
what I would like to do. But on the other hand, the wu-ftpd configuration
features (especially ftpaccess) are convoluted enough that I might have
misunderstood them and missed a way to accomplish this.

If someone would point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. You can
tell me to RTFM, just tell me which FM :-).

You can't with wu-ftpd.

Unfortunately almost everything of use to an ISP eventually gets tied
back to /etc/passwd. You could very easily authenticate users using
other means ie: Kerberos, RADIUS, etc., but most programs rely on either
home directories or using the OS filesystem rights which, of course,
requires /etc/passwd entries.

Programs like cyrus use Kerberos authentication, but then require you to
add entries to a special file (in the case of cyrus, via an
administration program). If you only have to deal with cyrus, it isn't
so bad, but imagine what would happen when you have other services done
the same way -- cyrus, a ftpd, an httpd, radiusd and Kerberos to do the
authentication for everything, it gets to be a little crazy.

Somewhere, someone must have thought of a better way... Until someone
lets me in on the secret, I'll probably continue to add users to /etc/passwd.

The person can logging anonymous and
then do
SITE GROUP foo
SITE GPASS ****

with that you won't have to mess with /etc/passwd ...but
with ftpgroups ;-)

The only havoc of this deal is that the directories must be
in the ~ftp hierarchy. So you can have directories readable only by
a particular group(ftpgroup).

`Michael Brennen' use to include in his post(usually the second post, he always

C'est moi. Yup. All too often it takes twice -- once to practice the
keystrokes, once to really do it. :)

Following Koos's lead, I've also added an autoresponder so people can get
the howto by mail. Further info is below.

Let me get this straight:

you want a person with __NO__ entry in
__ANY__ file on your system __not even as anonymous__, to logging
and issue commands.

Sorry, I can't help. Maybe someone else.

Reading the release notes I noticed a reference to support for
multiple groups. Does this mean that autogroup will support membership
in more then one (the first) group?

Last time I posted a bunch supporting data about what I was trying to do
but I think I put you all to sleep. :-)

Thanks to those who responded.

I got hold of the right version of wu-ftpd (from 1994 !!?), and that seems to fix most of my
problems, including nodirs on upload, setting the path-filter, etc.

The line you want to modify is 1287, the one marked below. My
skey_crypt() function will also do shadow, but I hacked my own skey
package with shadow enabled from the logdaemon package. If you do use
skey, be sure and set pwok if you want to allow regular passwords.

#ifdef KERBEROS
xpasswd = crypt16(passwd, salt);
#else
#ifdef SKEY
xpasswd = skey_crypt(passwd, salt, pw, pwok);
pwok = 0;
#else
xpasswd = crypt(passwd, salt); <===========
#endif
#endif

I picked up gnu's fileutils but trying to link statically yields the errors:

symbol in file
dlclose /usr/lib/libc.a(nss_deffinder.o)
dlsym /usr/lib/libc.a(nss_deffinder.o)
dlopen /usr/lib/libc.a(nss_deffinder.o)

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi;

I am using wu-ftpd un Digital UNIX 3.2g

Installed OK and have got chroot working (following th HOW-TO)
but apparently the UIDs and GIDs are not being seen in the chrooted
environment.

When I do a ls -la I get the nuberic UID GID file permissions
rather than the names. Because these permissions are
not set I can ftp in as any user and delete bin etc
.rhosts .. and upload a new one.

In etc I have a passwd file and group file and also
the static version of ls in bin. Apparently there
are some libs or something which needs
to be included also?

Anyone got a quick fix before I start digging???

Any help is greatly appreciated!

TIA
Scot

The problem is that sun doesn't ship a libdl.a file .. And they officially
have said that it isn't possible to compile ls statically ..
When I asked if I could get the libdl.a (it seam it is the only one I
needed to make ls compile statically), they said that they didn't have one
.

So the problem is that we got an libc.a that tries to get some functions
in libdl.a but there is only a shared version of that file .. So on
Solaris2.5 we can't compile ls statically ..
*sigh*

If anyone create a working libdl.a on Solaris2.5 .. then we don't need all
those ~ftp/usr/lib stuff ..

This is discussed in the comp.unix.solaris Frequently Asked Questions
(http://www.fwi.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2), item 6.24. Which includes a
workaround you could use if you really think a static ls is somehow
necessary or desirable.

Great would be if this is added to the wu-ftpd faq (or at least a pointer

folks,
Is there a way to limit the possible ports that can be negotiated too
while doing passv ftp from a browser. I am assuming that from a
security standpoint, you have to open up all the ports above 1024
when allowing for passv mode. Is this true? Also, when doing regular
ftp after the connection request comes in on port 21, does all the
rest of the data travel on port 20 or are is there a random port
also set up for standard ftp connections.

Thanks

Doug Courtney

Is there a way I can run a program after each file uploaded?
I'd like to verify zip and tar files after they are uploaded and
remove them in they have crc errors.

You might consider using atrun which is every minute or a cron job every
hour.

FTP works on two channels:
a contol channel --> 21/tcp
and a data channel --> 20/tcp

When you do :

ls
get
put
etc...

The client and the wu-ftpd will negotiate on a port were the DATA will flow
This will be done via the PORT or PASV commands.

ex: ftp -d
...
ftp> ls
---> PORT 132,206,63,203,6,11
200 PORT command successful.
---> NLST
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
...

Server| |Client
------ data -------
port (21) -------------------------> port (1547)

the port is find by doing this:
6*256 +11

The PASV command works the same but you ask
wu-ftpd to listen on another data port then 21

Usually(it's not a rule) _ALL_ commands will issue the PORT|PASV directives
to negotiate a new port(avoiding 2 MSL for TCP)

They was a lot of dust last year about this feature
Because some malicous user could do:

PORT a,b,c,d,0,25
RETR fake_mail

ftpd will not check further and the result will be download
in sendmail(SMTP) on a.b.c.d machine.

They are various toolkits to exploit this for port_scanning
fake_mail etc ...

wu-ftpd-...-beta-11 is `aware' of this, it will not allow
port lower than 1024 and data connection from PORT other
then the client.
It will also permit one passive port at a time to guard
against malicious users asking for 1000 ports !!
via the PASV command.

Now be aware that some ftp kits can rely on this behaviour
to provide some sort of Proxy connections between 3 machines.
(you're on machine `a' retreiving file form machine `b' to store
on machine `c').

ouf !!! enough, let me catch my breath

Mime-Version: 1.0

Dear WUFTPD'ers,
Finally got my Sun installations of WUFTPD to correctly use EST dates
and times. I had forgotton the timezone files, but once I copied them under
the necessary chroot locations my times and dates were correct.

But on SGI those files dont exist. Furthermore by doing a par (SGI's
flavor of truss :-( I can see that SGI isnt looking for any files it cant find.
When I set up a chroot account to have a home directory of / and to be
chroot'd to / I still have the time and date problem with WUFTPD. Essentially
all files are created 5 hours in the future (GMT vs EST). I have confirmed
that running chroot . /bin/ls -l on a guests chrooted area does produce
the true EST times. Only when I come in thru the WUFTPD server do I
see the GMT times being used. Coming in the native SGI FTP server
does not have this problem (nor is it chrooted of course ;-)

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanx,
Roger Hanke

I'm setting up a web server where normal users will have ftp-only access to
post their web pages. One of the questions which arises is how do users
know when they are over the disk quota.

I could do some things with the normal wuftp server like put quota or du
(or scripts containing them) where they could be run with the SITE EXEC
command. But the ways to access this with a GUI ftp client are pretty
tricky.

I'm thinking it could be useful to patch the source to run something like
quota -v for real users and pass that back as part of the post-logon
messages.

Has anyone done something like this? Do you have any advice?

(I'm guessing that looking for the processing of "readme" and "message"
directives will put me at about the right part of the code, but I haven't
started to look at the sources.)

(I'm also thinking about some unrelated solutions like a web cgi and/or a
cron job to nag users.)

Yes, someone has. Below my .sig is a repost from a patch doing this for
AIX and maybe some other systems. You might have to adopt it for your
own system, but it's a start. It even saves calling quota (although
that might be more portable).

If someone could test the portability of this, maybe it could be
integrated into the normal source tree. Quota's are a well-used part of
system management these days so wu-ftpd could do something usefull with
them.

I get the following errors when compiling wu-ftpd 2.4 (sh build aix) on an
RS/6000 running AIX 4.2:

Hi folks,
the same problem for me on a Sparc U1/170 with Sol 2.5.1 .
'dir' and 'ls -l' work fine but not 'ls' , and 'quote LIST' issues the
message "425 Can't build data connection: Connection refused." working
as a real user on the same machine.
Any idea ?
Thanks.

I was the one who hacked it. I'm using it on AIX since then. The main problem
here, in my opinion (which is quite small if you look at it) it to put the right
include file AKA - #include<SYS_FS/quota.h>. You fixed it, you're on the right
track. If you need any help porting it to other systems I'd be happy to help.

I'm now thinking of hacking something of a "directory quota", this should answer
the problem of the "upload" keyword with other username. Meaning you should be
able to get with the right magic cookie the same info you get now with my patch
but for a different username. a couple of MUSTS (probably, for security reasons):

1) There should be an upload keyword for it (We do not need someone playing
with the cookies and asking for other user's quota).

2) Permissions and file owners of ftpaccess and the file which holds the cookies.

Comments please.

Hi;

How could I set the default umask for all users who
upload files

I tried /usr/skel/.login

I also tried putting a .login in the users home dir

Everything seems to default to -rw-r--r--

Check the upload directive.

Sorry;

Posted before I reread the faq

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.

Scot,
I made use of the -u option that can be added to the wuftpd command line
in /etc/inetd.conf to set a umask for all processes spawned by wuftpd.
So I added -u007 for instance since I wanted all files to be 660 and all
directories 770 instead of the default 644 and 755 permissions that result
when the default system umask of 022 is used.

Subject: timezone error
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 1996 16:16:53 -0600
From: [email protected] (Thuy Tran)

Got a quick question: when I do an 'ls -l', the timezone on the files I put are
exactly 6 hours off. I copied the file TIMEZONE and the
/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/US/Central file to ~ftp/usr/lib/ directory and it still
doesn't work. I assume I don't need to copy all the files in
/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo? The system's /etc/TIMEZONE is a link to
/etc/default/init.

The faq also mentioned about recompiling wu-ftpd with SPT_TYPE #undef-ined. Is
it by default to define SPT_TYPE? I ask this because I didn't do anything to
the Makefile except for adding 'DPARANOID -DANON-ONLY' to the CFLAGS line.

What else am I missing?

Thanks,

Thuy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thuy,
On Solaris 2.4 with WUFTPD 2.4 I was able to fix my timezone problem
(5 hours in future since GMT being used vs EST) by putting two files
under each users chroot area. I put the /etc/default/init file which
/etc/TIMEZONE is a symbolic link to, and the proper timezone file
from under /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo that the init file points to
(in my case US/Eastern). And yes I had built my WUFTPD from the
standard makefile without changing any build options.

If you are still having problems use the standard chroot troubleshooting
of running it by hand. Add truss -f to the front so you can see exactly
what files are still missing for you. So I go to the chroot area as root
and run "truss -f chroot . /bin/ls -l". This is how I determined the above
two files were the ones I was missing.

Now having said that and perhaps sounding as if I actually knew what
I was talking about. Has anyone got this to work on an IRIX SGI machine
or any SGI machine for that matter? Using their par command (their version
of truss) I could not find any files missing. Sure enough running chroot
proves that it is not a missing file issue. And running the default SGI FTP
server does not have a timezone problem. Only running the WUFTPD
that I built has the timezone problem. So obviously I need to build the
WUFTPD differently but have no clue where to start. Any suggestions?

Thanx,
Roger Hanke

Just the file /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/Eastern was all that was required to
put the output of ls from our anon server (Solaris 2.5) into the US/Eastern
time zone. Having /etc/default/init or /etc/TIMEZONE in the anonymous area is
not required. I believe that ls gets the knowledge to look for the timezone
file from the environment variable TZ (set here to "US/Eastern"). This
environment variable is originally set by init when it starts up, reading
/etc/default/init. Then it is passed to inetd when inetd starts up, which
in turn passes it to ftpd when an incoming ftp request comes in. Ftpd in turn
passes TZ to ls.

Good Morning wu ftp users,

I just installed wu-ftpd on an AIX 4.2 system, and am having a problem
when I try to log in. I thought I configured all the files properly, but
every time I ftp to the system I get the message:

530 user <name> access denied...
login failed.

Any help pointing me to the correct configuration would be appreciated.

Thanks you,

Is there any way to get the wuftpd to change ownership of files on
uploads over nfs?

my situation: We have a netapp f220 mounted over several machines (one
of them being our ftp host) the ftp directory is exported to the ftp
host with root access (which does work). However when I try and upload a
file the file is created with proper ownership (I am trying to chown the
file during the upload) but then I get
"Error writing file: Permission denied."

any thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I just compiled wu-ftp and copied the files to correct
locations (the install did not work). I had a few
compiler warnings, but nothing to get upset about. When I ftp'd into
the test system, as a REAL user, everything worked find. When I did an
anonymous ftp, everything worked ok until I typed 'quit'. That caused
the test system to crash!!!!! To make matters worse, the /etc/shadow
file was over-written with /etc/ftpaccess. Needless to say, I had to
boot off the cdrom and fix the /etc/shadow file befour I could get root
access. Does anyone have an idea why this happened? Rember, the install
did not work, so I manually copied the files to the correct places?

The test machine is a Spac CLassic/ Solaris 5.5. I used the gcc compiler.

I am glad I did not do the testing on the client platform!

Help, I need this to work.

Wow... having not worked on a Solaris box in quite some time, but is there
any syslog errors or disk errors etc. showing up?

I know that's probably a dumb question, but it almost sounds like a disk
error of some type... but I"m no expert on a Solaris machine...;->

Just my two cents worth (which is probably wrong)

Hmm.. I have some slight problems with 5.5 on a classic, but that's
a different ballgame.

Anyway : if the whole system crashes (kernel halt or kernel panic) Sun
will be interested in how you did that and if it's reproducible.

A normal application (like wu-ftpd) should not be able to crash the
system.

Scot,
try using the upload directive for your anonymous users in ftpaccess (you
need to specify the target directory - so its not practical for guests and
real users) and the -u option in the command line (inetd.conf) this covers
all users.

Sometimes peoples connections with wu-ftpd will not completely close when
they quit there clients with one of our servers. There clients
disconnect but a "ps aux" still shows an open ftpd session. Has anyone
else had simmilar problems? How did you fix it? The server is running
linux kernel 2.0 and wu-ftpd beta 11.

Thank you

I have seen the same behavior on Solaris 2.4 with the academ 2.4.2 B11
version. I had the same problem on Solaris 2.4 with wuftpd 2.4,
Despite (or maybe because of?) timeout settings of 10 or 15 minutes.
For example, I just killed off an ftpd process from 2 days ago.

It is just frequent enough to be annoying, but not frequent enough for
me to think it is an obvious coding bug. Does seem to happen when a
peecee client exits without closing the TCP connection (which is all
too easy), but not every time.

hmmmm .. Have you install "inet.h" from the BIND distribution ?
Certainly look like you did .. maybe without knowing it ;-)

Weird problem:

With wu-ftpd 2.4.2-beta11 on Solaris 2.5, on anonymous login, I always
get the message that a password is invalid. Here's what happens:

EG - anonymous
password: [email protected]

wu-ftpd says "'john' is not a valid email address"

This is 100% reproducible. Basically no matter what you enter,
wu-ftpd ignores everything from the at sign forward.

Any clues?

Thanks, Robert Anderson.

In some original unices, '@' was the erase line sign. When logging into
one of those, I can't use @ in a password either.

Check your stty settings on the client side.

It's just a hunch. Otherwise get a fresh sourcetree and recompile.

The problem in this case is the size of zero.
In the first time i generate ZERO in /dev/zero with the command:

mknod zero c 3 12 that is not enough LS -L do not work

with mknod zero c 13 12 the system seems enough mmap

Subject: ftpd: exiting on signal 11
X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.42)
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi All

A user is having a problem attaching to our wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 11 server.

The user can connect sometimes, other times not. They connect from a
domain called sct.fr

Now when they attach via their PPP account 194.206.163.40
(paris22-040.sct.fr) all works ok.

Sometimes when they connect, they are given the IP of 194.250.139.20
(pm3-067.sct.fr). This causes the ftp client to start to get the
welcome.msg but then it gets disconnected. The logs show the
following :-

messages
Nov 26 14:51:41 web5 wu.ftpd[585]: connect from pm3-067.sct.fr
Nov 26 14:51:41 web5 ftpd[585]: VirtualFTP Connect to: 194.250.139.20

syslog
Nov 26 14:51:41 web5 ftpd[585]: VirtualFTP Connect to: 194.250.139.20
Nov 26 14:51:41 web5 last message repeated 2 times
Nov 26 14:51:42 web5 ftpd[585]: exiting on signal 11

The problem has been shown to be apparent by users attaching via
msn.com also.

This only happens when they attach anonymously (very odd). The server
works perfectly from all other systems.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers
Paul

Use -DDIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS in the CFLAGS in src/makefiles/Makefile.lnx

This works like a charm. I had the same problem, and I posted my problem
on this list. I'm glad to contribute back to the list and help out.

Enjoy !

Silly me, I realized the error of my ways immediately upon hitting that send
key. I then forwarded it on to him...

Consistency among mail list would be nice - it seems that the reply-to
field is never the same. I always either reply to the sender when I want
the list or I reply to the list when I want the sender. Someday I'll
learn...

Cheers...

Is it possible to disable certain csh commands like chmod for my ftp
users. I beleive its a security risk having users be make their files
executable - they ftp their web files.

Any info would be appreciated.

Michael,
looks like you need to set your environment so make can find the c compiler.
Either set your path to include the location of your c compiler (the
recomendation is the gnu compiler gcc) or
edit the Makefile.sol (linked from
~distribution/support/makefiles/Makefile.sol to ~distribution/support/Makefile).
Check the variable CC in the ~distribution/support/makefiles/Makefile.sol
(it should be local/bin/gcc or whereever you put the gcc compiler).
Then run build again.
You will also need to ensure that your path includes ar and yacc.

Regards Geofft

Michael,
I believe that you have to overwrite a certain file. The exact name of
the file is in the README file that comes with the source. The file is
[file].h . Sorry, I forgot the name and place to put the file. It could
be called ftpd.h or something like that. Skim through the README and
INSTALL files and it will tell you. I had the same error and I
installed wu on two separate solaris 2.5 machines.

Also when you are ready to do a ./build install. You must edit the
install makefile to use /usr/ucb/install, because the install it uses
doesn't work on solaris.

By the way the solaris cc is an option that you need to buy from sun.
Usee gcc works the same.

<snip snip>

I had many problems of that kind under solaris, due to the default /bin/sh
.. Just recompile another sh-compatible shell like bash and install it
instead of /bin/sh ( You can leave the original one in /sbin/sh ) . This
should avoid lotsa compilation problems. ( don't forget to patch bash
against a well-known security hole btw ) .

Best regards, Frank (j).

Hi

I use wuftpd 2.4 on one of my server. When we try to connect
on it with Macintosh by modem (ppp), we have troubles
like connection error -244 or crashs. When we try by ethernet
no troubles.

The Macintosh are under 7.5.5 and 7.5.3, the software were
Netscape 2.01 and Netscape 3.01.

When we try on others servers, it works ...

Did you already see this troubles ?

Regards

Included below is a copy of the MAKELOG from 'build lnx'.

Of course as you can tell, all the other binaries compile, but the error
in glob.c kills the compiling of ftpd.

Now, if I go into the Makefile in the src directory and change around the
list of sources and place glob.c last all other file compile with no
problem, so I'm looking at one problem.

Ideas?

Yes, I noticed it as well. In my case it was the reason that it used
the PASV mode and that I did not had the /dev/tcp writable.

After changing that it worked in my case. I hope in yours as well.
