The solution was rather simple actually. And quite obvious. I just couldn't
see it.

Turns out the problems was that with the change from my older wu.ftpd which
defaulted to use the ftpaccess file ( i believe ) to the newer version
which by default did NOT use the ftpaccess file, I had to go change the
way ftpd was being called. Quite simple really, once I got it figured out. :)

I would recommand to get the latest version of wu-ftpd
it's beta(11 ?) something .. don't be fool by the `beta' ;-)

You probably ran `build sol' more than once.
you should `build clean' or `make clean'
or whatever to get rid of the links and *.o

The installation could surely gain from GNU configure
or Metaconfig .. sigh

try the beta version wu-ftpd-2.4-beta????.tar.gz
things should compile okdoke except something about
the install the path should be /usr/ucb/install.

Do you have the -a flag on the wu-ftpd command line in /etc/inetd.conf?
If you don't, it won't read the /etc/ftpaccess file, and your setup may
not work.

Subject: serious security hole in wu-ftpd v2.4
X-Sender: [email protected]
X-Authentication-Warning: implode.root.com: Host localhost [127.0.0.1] didn't use HELO protocol
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Summary
-------
There is a serious security bug in wu-ftpd v2.4 (including the
version from Academ) which may allow both regular and anonymous users
to access files as uid 0 (root). The same bug is also responsible for
an advisory lock not being unlocked - potentially resulting in blocked
access to future ftp logins and filling up the process table and swap
space until the server dies.

Description
-----------
The ftpd server installs two signal handlers as part of its startup
procedure: one to catch SIGPIPE for control/data port connection closes,
and one to catch SIGURG for when out-of-band signaling is used with the
ABOR (abort file transfer) command. The SIGPIPE handler is:

lostconn(int sig)
{
if (debug)
syslog(LOG_DEBUG, "lost connection to %s [%s]", remotehost, remoteaddr);
dologout(-1);
}

...which causes the ftpd server to exit via dologout() whenever the
control or data connection is unexpectedly closed. The function
dologout() is:

dologout(int status)
{
if (logged_in) {
(void) seteuid((uid_t) 0);
logwtmp(ttyline, "", "");
}
syslog(LOG_INFO, "FTP session closed");
if (xferlog)
close(xferlog);
acl_remove();
/* beware of flushing buffers after a SIGPIPE */
_exit(status);
}

...which changes the effective uid to 0, adds a logout record to wtmp,
closes the xferlog log file, removes this instance of the server from
the PID file for his class, and exits.
The initial part of the SIGURG handler is:

myoob(int sig)
{
char *cp;

/* only process if transfer occurring */
if (!transflag)
return;
cp = tmpline;
if (getline(cp, 7, stdin) == NULL) {
reply(221, "You could at least say goodbye.");
dologout(0);
}
upper(cp);
if (strcmp(cp, "ABOR\r\n") == 0) {
tmpline[0] = '\0';
reply(426, "Transfer aborted. Data connection closed.");
reply(226, "Abort successful");
longjmp(urgcatch, 1);
}
(...)

...which does nothing if transflag is 0 - not currently doing a file
transfer, but if you are and an ABOR command was issued along with the
"urgent" data that caused this signal, then the procedure does a longjmp()
restoring the "urgcatch" saved state, which ultimately returns back to the
server main command loop.
Now, some FTP client programs will abort a file transfer by BOTH
closing the data connection AND issuing an ABOR with out-of-band signaling.
In many instances, the ftpd server gets the SIGPIPE due to the closed data
connection and begins the dologout() procedure. While it is uid 0 and
sometimes while it also has the pid file advisory lock (which occurs in
the acl_remove() procedure), the ftpd server will sometimes be interrupted
by the SIGURG that is delivered as part of the ABOR command. Since
transflag is not 0 (a file transfer WAS occuring), the signal handler does
a longjmp which ultimately returns to the main command loop...and presto,
you are uid 0, and to make things even better, the xferlog log file is
closed so nothing you do is even logged.

A patch to fix this problem is simple:

*** ftpd.c.bak Wed Jan 1 22:10:05 1997
--- ftpd.c Wed Jan 1 22:10:14 1997
***************
*** 2503,2508 ****
--- 2503,2514 ----
void
dologout(int status)
{
+ /*
+ * Prevent reception of SIGURG from resulting in a resumption
+ * back to the main program loop.
+ */
+ transflag = 0;
+
if (logged_in) {
(void) seteuid((uid_t) 0);
logwtmp(ttyline, "", "");

...which does as the comment suggests.

Try re-creating the devices with mknod(8) or use GNU tar which can
handle device files.

/dev/zero and /dev/tcp are special files. Copying /dev/zero like a
regular file will fill your file system with a file containing all zeros.
Instead of trying to remember how to user mknod to create these special
files just tar them up and un-tar them in the right place. Tar seems to
handle them pretty well.

Just to note, I use the cp from GNU Fileutils, which allows you to copy
special files (it acts as if it's limited to root who can do it though.)
"cp -a /dev/null .' successfully put a copy of null in my current
directory. mknod is probably still better though.

I would not rejoice so fast.

The `bug' is not at all limited to the SIGPIPE.
It is everywhere ;-).

You can try to exploit it by sending randomly MSG_OOB.
If luck is on your side you may stumble in a sensitive area
and have root access.

I mean by sensitive area a time/place where wu-ftpd sets is uid to 0

oldid = geteuid();
..
seteuid((uid_t)0);
/* sensitive area */
..
..
.
seteuid((uid_t)oldid);
It's all over the code: when doing UPLOAD, PORT, at end_login, etc ..

Don't waste your time it's almost impossible to win
the race condition(But it is feasible).

What make it so attractive about the SIGPIPE is:
in that sensitive area the client stands a chance to
win the race condition ....

The culprit like you have demonstrated clearly in your post
is acl_remove();

acl_remove() is a real pain :-( because of the loop.
I would get unconfortable if I see in my syslogs

"sleeping: fcntl lock of pid file failed"

It means(to me) that I have a very busy FTP server
and the race condition can be win by a _very perseverent_ Cracker.

> A patch to fix this problem is simple:

[... patch deleted ...]

The patch is fine ;-)
Ignoring the signals is also correct

logwtmp(ttyline, "", "");

############################

The ``real'' solution would be to block those
signals in the sensitive areas someting like

sigblock(sigmask(SIGURG));
/* now do the stuff ..*/
.
seteuid((uid_t)0);
..
..
seteuid((uid_t)oldid);

The ``ultimate'' solution would be to rewrite the
damn thing with security in mind ;-)

FWIW, I was able to reproduce the `bug' in many places
But .. I cheated ;-) after all those seteuid(0) I add:
sleep(100);
and recompile the server.

for example in dologout();

dologout(int status)
{

if (logged_in) {
(void) seteuid((uid_t) 0);
logwtmp(ttyline, "", "");
}
[....]
sleep(100); /* a litle extra to win*/
..
_exit(status);
}

I was able to win the race condition everytime ;-)

Actually not. Look more closely; "myoob" will only do anything when
transflag != 0. I've spent a significant amount of time verifying that
the user's uid is always in effect when transflag != 0, and the only
hole is the one I identified in dologout(). Also, getdatasock() will reset
the uid back to the user's...unfortunately, this is after a file (or tar)
has already been opened by root.
...but hey, if I missed a case somewhere, I've no problem with admitting
I'm wrong! :-)
I agree, however, that the setjmp/longjmp stuff is poorly used. It would be
much better to isolate the routines that actually do the read/writes into
a seperate function so that more context is available after the longjmp().
In the current code, it is not possible to clean up malloced buffers, for
instance, after a user does an ABOR.

Hi all,

I want to start setting up the possibility of doing searchs on my ftp. I
would appreciate anyone giving me some advice on what tools to use. I
would like to know:

- If glimpse can be made executable for ftp sessions.
- If there are any index commands (for site index) already made in C (I
do not want to put an sh or perl in the ~ftp/bin)

Thanks for the help and happy new year to all of you,

Javier Puche.

I seem to have guest accounts working successfully, yet it seems really
slow in obtaining the file list. Takes many times longer than it did
befire I was using the guest accounts. Is this normal? Can I improve the
speed?

I have guest accounts working through some initial testing. I was
wondering what role the ~ftp/etc/passwd and ~ftp/etc/group play. The
Howto guest instructions tells you to do it and it works fine. However,
while setting up the guests I left these files out and things seemed to
work fine with out them. The Nutshell book does not mention it.

They show actual user names instead of numbers in the ls listings. You
can do without them just fine if you don't care about the names in ls.

Smart People,

I'm running WU-FTD 2.4 on AIX 4.1.3. I have a user who reports that
her connection to our FTP server routinely dies, usually early on
during her FTP session.

Thinking that her problem was due to Internet congestion, I ran an
iptrace on my AIX box to watch her connection. I found many delays
and retransmission packets. So that tells me that the Internet has
real problems somewhere between her box and mine. I anonymously
logged into her ISP's FTP server and discovered that could send a file
to the ISP at 50-60kbps, but only receive a file at 5.5kbps! I
suppose her ISP is artifically choking outbound traffic (referenced to
the ISP) to get better inbound performance.

After 15 or so painfully slow minutes, she received a "text
undecipherable" message (or something to that effect). She killed her
FTP client and I let the trace run for a few minutes and then killed
it as well. The end of iptrace goes as follows:

Client: TYPE I
Server: 200 Type set to I...
Client: PORT xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,x,x IP header ID = 108
Server: 200 Port command successful
*** about 2.5 seconds ***
Server: 200 Port command successful
*** about 6 seconds ***
Server: 200 Port command successful
*** about 0.8 seconds ***
Client: an ACK of the preceding server packet, no data,
IP header ID = 113
*** about 54 seconds ***
Server: Issued UDP packet to client on port 33435
Server: Issued UDP packet to client on port 33436
....
....
....
Server: Issued UDP packet to client on port 33448

Client: STOR <filename>
This is about 100 seconds after the previous client packet
Server: Syn for FTP-data connection
Server: Syn for FTP-data connection

*** end of trace ***

Can someone explain the UDP packets? The destination port looks a few
higher than a traceroute. And what about the "undecipherable" message
on the client? The client was using WS_FTP (16-bit).

Thanks in advance.

TWIST is part of tcpwrappers. You use it in the tcpwrappers configuration
file to tell it to run a particular command line when a particular kind of
network connection is established. So, your command line would run some
other program before and/or after the ftp session. I may have
misinterperted your question. This technique will not send results of a
program before or after each file transfer, but only before or after a
complete ftp session.

To "wrap" individual file transfers, look at how wu-ftpd supports programs
like "tar", which allow a user to tar a directory and send the result back.
I haven't checked out the details, but it probably involves something as
simple as putting your programs binarys and libraries into the anonymous
ftp root. rtfm I'd guess you could, as a total hack, replace the "tar"
program in the ftp root with your program. Then, when the user asks for a
"tar" to tar and send the results, your program is run instead. To get
some data to come back as "data" and some to come back as "message" could
be tricky. Certainly you can have one or the other because both "ls" and
"tar" run on the server and return results.

Now you've got me curious. Please post whatever you figure out.

Howdy folks.

Recently, the majority of my users have been complaining that
their FTP client (primarily CuteFTP and WS-FTP) "lock up" at
the client command 'REST 0' (something to do with file resume, I
think). The result is that the client ends up just sitting there,
acting dead. After 5 minutes or so, the client comes up with an
error, but the 'ftpd' process hangs and stays existant in the pro-
cess table, with the status of 'IDLE'.

Has anyone experienced this problem, or know how to solve it?

I'm currently using wu-ftpd 2.4.2-academ-BETA-11 under Linux
2.0.27 with gcc 2.7.2.1 and libc 5.4.17.

Thanks :-)

Hmmm, I've gotten some similar complaints, but I've never been able to
narrow it down. We're actually not using wu-ftpd on ftp.cdrom.com any more,
but the code we're running has a similar lineage.

While a "REST 0" from the client isn't a violation of the FTP protocol, it
is a rather strange thing to send to the server. It basically means "I want to
restart a previously interrupted file transfer at offset 0". The appropriate
response to this from the server is a 350 reply code, at which point the
client should issue a APPE, STOR, or RETR (append, store, or retrieve) command.
If you can monitor the TCP stream with a packet sniffer, then look and see if
the server is replying with a 350 reply code. If it is and the client doesn't
proceed, then the client software is broken. If the server doesn't send a
350 reply code, then the server is broken.
See RFC 959 for more information.

I'm having a problem with most of the users who access my FTP site
because they use WS-FTP. When they loggon anonymous the client send the
RETR command and then just sits there. On my console I get an error
saying Cannot Find /usr/lib/ld.so.1 However, I looked in my
~ftp/usr/lib directory and it IS there. Also, I don't have this problem
with people who access via terminal FTP....

What's going on?

I have 2.0.27 w/ gcc2.7.2.1 w/ libc.s0.5.4.13 w/ wu-ftpd-*beta-11
( have no problems since most of my downloads are linux-to-linux for now )

you could have them try my machine: planet.fef.com/pub ( NOT ftp.* )

I only ask that you control who you tell for "testing" purposes...
They can try using my ftp site instead to check if the libc difference or
the way we have setup ~ftp/tree... makes a difference

I have ~ftp/virtual_ftp_domains/{bin,pub,lib,etc}

good luck & fingers crossed :-)
silly me...

I have install the wu-ftpd in an AIX 3.5
it works fine for normal use, but i have problem when i try to
use it for guestgroups ( for users that must have permission to ftp only)

An ftp only user logs in correctly, the root changes correctly to the home
directory, but the LIST command does not work.

Even with the full read-execute permissions of bin/ls i can't see the file list.

A dummy shell (/etc/ftponly) have been added in /etc/shells, the directory structure
have been as the anonyous ftp, etc...

I have also tried a modified bin/ls and seems that bin/ls never called.

Does anyone know whats the solution (or what's the problem) ?

Thanks in advance.

PS: i had send this message before, but i had a
mail problem for a while and i dont know if it had any responses

Hello:

I am running wu-2.4(11) on BSDI 2.1 with the virtual servers patches
installed. The patch installed fine, and I can now run the virtual servers
and log into them without a problem. My problem is this:

When I ftp to one of the virtual servers, and I do an 'ls' I get nothing.
Even though there is info in the directory in questions, and I have
permison to read and execute that file.
I check permisions on the directory and the files.

When I do an ls I just get the following:

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

Could it be that it cannot find /bin/ls? Where should this be? I have it
in the real ~ftp/bin/ in the real /bin/ directory, the /bin of the virtual
server, and in the EXECPATH as specified when I installed the patches
(/bin/ftp-exec/).

Any one have any idea?
Thanks in advance!

Dave

Dave, I was the probably the person who pointed
out the security problem, (I think it is in my files somewhere)
since I am on wu-ftpd Mailing List and did forward the notice to BSDI
via bsdi-support (all right I will use bsdi-security next time).

What I do is to copy the basic ftp directory into a Home user's folder
and do the set-up similarly.

Stan,
Thanx much for the clarification on these security fixes being in Beta 11.
Speaking of security fixes in Beta 12, any chance of getting the recent
security hole closed in it. The one that David Greenman discussed on
1/2/97 that I copied the following summary
from? It seemed that the fix was fairly small and localized.
I know you had said just fixes and this does seem to qualify...
Just hoping,
Roger Hanke

Summary
-------
There is a serious security bug in wu-ftpd v2.4 (including the
version from Academ) which may allow both regular and anonymous users
to access files as uid 0 (root). The same bug is also responsible for
an advisory lock not being unlocked - potentially resulting in blocked
access to future ftp logins and filling up the process table and swap
space until the server dies.

Beta 5 and later came with all the Hobbit patches available at that time,
so Beta 11 still contains them, as will Beta-12.

We use Secure ID cards for our Apple Remote Access connections here and
would be interested in how ftp authentication might be implemented. There
might be some people here that could help.
Hopefully someone has already got some of this going. I would think you
could use the cards for both real and guest users.

Doctor,
No. Looks like it execed the ls ok, more like a permissions problem on the
directory.................... check you have execute and read permissions on
the directory and read on the files (of course) who does the ftpserver think
you are?

Doin' it right now. It's almost done. I'm adding an option such that if a
guest or real user's shell is */sdshell they are prompted for a SecurID
PASSCODE, otherwise real and guest users use the /etc/passwd entry.

Thots?

I did something like this some years back. What I did was make a patch to
allow wu-ftpd use the TIS fwtk's authd. This way it would work with any
of the tokens/auth methods they supported (SNK, SecureID, Enigma, Skey, ...).

I've considered making it work with something more "standard" like a radius

Hi,

I have a problem with wu-ftp 2.4.2 beta 11 on Solaris 2.5. None of the =

transfers are logged in my xferlog file. I put something like that on =

my ftpaccess file :

log commands real,anonymous,guest
log transfers anonymous,real,guest inbound,outbound

My inetd.conf line is =

ftp stream tcp nowait root /server/ftp/bin/ftpd ftpd -d =

-a -L -l

I am sure that this file is read because of the Welcome message output =

when logging into the server.

This problem occurs for all the users (real, anonymous and guests).

So, where is my problem ? I read the FAQ but nothing really =

relevant...

Thanks for your help.

Amicalement,

Jean Michel

Werd nigga.

It's probably closing the site due to you not having identd
installed -- if it is installed, I dunno WTF is going on.

I don't think you can specify user-to-port parms in wuftpd --
good idea though, maybe it'll be incorporated :-)

I have both /sbin/sh and /bin/sh and my /etc/passwd file has for root, it's
also going to /sbin/sh, as is most of my users, but there are a few that
are going to /bin/sh. I'm one of them. Is it possible that you have
something like this too but have a damaged /sbin/sh file?

Just to note, all users listed in /etc/ftpusers are denied access via FTP.
root tends to be in there.

Subject: Beta-11 open tickets
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

This is a list of open tickets reporting problems or supplying fixes for
wu-ftpd 2.4.2-academ-beta-11. These form the basis for what is in beta-12.
That does not mean that all these things have been addressed in beta-12, but
this is the base from which beta-12's changes were derived. Anything not in
beta-12 was either not reproducable (which may be the case for OSes to which
I don't have access), was determined (by me) to change the functionality
of the software enough to make it more of a candidate for release 2.5, or was
really caused by another problem and was addressed by fixing that problem.

Anyway, if those who reported these problems have any updates, please
send the to "[email protected]" and be sure to put a string that looks
like this in the subject line: [ACADEM-SW-SUPPORT #XXX]
Please be SURE to substitute the ticket number for the XXX!!!!!!

I am testing beta 12 on the operating systems prior to release. I don't have
access to anything else for testing.

Solaris 2.4 (Sparc/SparcComplier and x86/gcc)
SunOS 4.1.4 (Sparc/SunOS cc)

Is this beta currently available? I couldn't find it in
ftp.academ.com:/pub/wu.ftpd/private, any ideas where it is available?

Thank you very much,

Will beta-12 work in Digital Unix?

Better ask differently. Is there any reason why it shouldn't work?

beta 11 works on ofs 4.0 (aka Digital Unix 4.0) so there is no reason
why beta 12 shouldn't work on it.

Hellow I am running Version wu-2.4(11) of ftpd. All is well, except for
one minor thing.

I have it set now, with ftp access, to control where files are uploaded,
and where directories can be created. I can control ownership, group, and
MOD on uploaded files, but not on created directories. Is there any way to
control the properties of a directory created by an anonymous user???

X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32)

Hi all-

I just joined this list so excuse me if this question has been
asked. I tried accessing the HTML archives w/o success (and they do not seem
up to date in any event).

I have been using wu.ftpd-2.4 with several security patches for some
time and its paths have it set to log transfers to xferlog in /var/adm.

When building beta-11, I went into the pathnames.h file (i believe)
and set the logging section (both entries) to /var/adm/xferlog and compiled
it on my Linux 1.2.13 aout box with problem. (It has the recent patches for
"sigfix.o" which has been floating around on Bugtraq). The ftp access also
has the command set for logging guest and real, inbound and outbound
transfers. Nevertheless, the compile, place the binary where it should be ,
HUP inetd and then nothing gets logged to /var/adm/xferlog. No real
transfers no guest transfers. No real commands. They *do* get logged via
syslog to my /var/adm/message file, but that's not what I want. The old
binary logged to both messages and xferlog.

What did I do wrong? How to I get the ftpd daemon to start logging
again. I really do no want to have to go back to 2.4 because I'd like to
next set up virtual ftp sites, but need to get this going first.

Any suggestions for any gurus out they would be gratefully appreciated.

There's quite a Linux group out there doing pam. Redhat has a mailing list
devoted to pam development. ([email protected] subject of
"subscribe") All the major modules seem to be working and pam is part of
Redhat's Linux distribution. There's even supposed to be documentation.
Pam _would_ still get you Secure-id in ftpd, even if ftpd was the only pam
aware application on your system, for probably more work. On the other
hand, sooner or later you'll go to pam anyway.

If Solaris has PAM support can anyone direct me to where I can find more
information about it? Thanks.

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

I am using wu_ftpd 2.4 to allow users access to our web server for
updating their pages. Two features that I have read are possible but
have not yet found full docs on are:

1. How do I set an Upload limit on a per directory basis?
I want this mainly to keep them in control.

2. Is there a way to disable the MKDIR command?
I saw the UPLOAD directive, put it does not work for real users when
their home directory is not under the home directory of the ftp daemon.

In this case, /usr/ftp is the anonymous tree and /usr/www is where most
of the users directories are.

I am not on this list so please reply to me directly.

All I know is that I've read some of the messages on [email protected]
and they say things like "The people at sun will/won't (support this or
that, etc) ...". I thought they were talking api, because the pam aware
applications have to work with pam libraries independent of platform.
You'll have to ask the list, or read the archives.

With real user accounts I don't have any problems, but with Group user it

With the anonymous user it doesn't work either.

I just checked my system and found a bunch of (3) ftp servers that are
connected to clients that I know have disconnected from the internet.
They've been sitting around for a least a few hours and probably more like
14 or 16 hours.

What's going on here? Is this a bug in wu-ftpd (related to beta-11 ticket
72?), a misconfiguration on my part, a bug in my OS or what?

My ftpaccess file has nothing in it that changes any sort of timeout value
and I've timed out myself at 400 seconds before.

I'm running wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 11 (with redhat patches) on Linux kernel 2.0.18.

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

Well,
Just testing on my own to determine how many userids I could fit into a
single guest class line in /etc/group turned up results even worse than
I expected.
By the time I got to about 2K characters, only about 225 8 character ids
worth, vi visual mode started crashing on me. Everyone else was still
processing the file fine but it was clear as it continued to grow that other
problems would arise, probably sooner than later.
So fell back to plan B. In order to support the maximum possible number
of FTP customers for each of our servers (several thousand), am now
planning to assign a different guest group id for each customers FTP id.
So /etc/group and ftpaccess file each get several thousand lines added
to them potentially, one line defining a group associated with each FTP id.
Again we need to do this since each FTP customer gets their own unique
chrooted area where they can store their stuff, protected from all other
customers stuff.
So curious if a several thousand line ftpaccess file sounds like a serious
problem to anyone? Or if there might be an even better way to support
this many different chrooted customer areas?

Thanx,
Roger Hanke

In article <[email protected]> you write:

>status?

On this list, it was announced on the 9th that it would be the 13th.
Since then, I have been in bed with the flu, so it will likely be
delayed until the 17th.

Just read this list and you will know the status of the release.

Okay... I feel stupid now. I had read that faq several times, but I
apparently missed one key item.

My problem was fixed by adding -DDIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS to the CFLAGS
line in Makefile.lnx

Thanks!

My ISP uses
FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-9] on a Unix system

Has this ever happened to you?
I am having a tough time uploading web pages to my ISP's
ftp server.
There is a wierd problem with gif's and jpg's that will not upload.

No gif's or jpg's will upload now
html, midi and bmp's will

This problem happened last weekend also,
It was working this morning intill 11:30 AM
Could it have anything to do with the server stressed under high load?
I will try again late at night and let you know if this is the problem

I use FTP Explorer.
when I send it says
"sending file, 100% complete"
"7402 of 7402 bytes transfered"
"0 seconds remaining"
"awaiting command"

Never gets "226 transfer complete"

FTP Explorer doesn't have a stop button, I have to disconnect
then when I connect again I will see the file name with 0 kb file size, so
I delete that

Tried Netterm, same ...it freezes at the upload.... waiting
tried renaming files ....same
tried different users public dir....same

gif's or jpg's are compressed files -won't upload at all
html, midi and bmp's are not.-will upload ok ,right now!

Could this be a compression problem with my modem or the server?
Is there a bug in wu-ftpd 2.4.2 BETA 9

I have to resolve this problem soon because my wife may start working
fulltime, web publishing.

Michael,
re your problem below,
looks like the server did not get a valid eof marker. (a file size of 0
indicates that the application (ftp server) is still writing the file (while
the ftp client thinks it sent everything ie .........
>"sending file, 100% complete"
>"7402 of 7402 bytes transfered"
>"0 seconds remaining"........
))

make sure you are in bin mode.

I'm having the same problem, since I upgraded my servers to 2.0.27 (and
all the related libraries and software).

Someone know what is causing this problem and maybe how to fix this?

Any reply would be greatly appreciated.

As putchar is a macro, it is might not be safe to have side effects in the

Howdy!

After setting up wuftpd for guest-logins, a connection with =
command-line-ftp brings me exact to the login-dir as stated in the =
passwd (e.g. "\export\home\guest1\.\sub1")
Unfortenately trying to ftp via Netscape shows the root-dir of the guest =
to which the chroot changed, not the sub1. Clicking there at sub1 brings =
me to the desired directory.=20
How do I tell netscape to directly show the contents of sub1, like the =
text-oriented ftp does?

Thanx 4 suggestions,

Folks,
Does anyone know of a tool that can simulate ftp sessions that can be
used to do performance testing. I would envision some type of script
that has a small engine to run the script multiple times etc.

Thanks for any help

Sounds like you don't have an external ls program set up properly. The
guest howto below will tell you how to do that.

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

Thanks. Unfortuneately, I'd lay heavy odds my problems were with uploads.

When using wu-ftpd with guest accounts, I have noticed the performance
deminishes. Seems to take 3 to 4 times as long to obtain the file list.
Any way to improve performance?

If the shell you are forking is smaller, it should run faster, though I
doubt you could tell the difference retrieving the list if the server is
fast at all. In other words, I have no ideas why you see that kind of
time increase unless the priority is much lower and the server is busy.

I know of no complete toolkit for that, but netcat and expect/tcl
could probably be used. netcat is FTPable from:

zippy.telcom.arizona.edu:/pub/mirrors/avian.org/hacks/nc110.tgz
ftp.sterling.com:/mirrors/avian.org/src/hacks/nc110.tgz
coast.cs.purdue.edu:/pub/tools/unix/netcat/nc110.tgz
ftp.rge.com:/pub/security/coast/mirrors/avian.org/netcat/nc110.tgz

(although the release number might have changed since I checked last time).
The README file gives a pretty good idea of what it can do.

Yeah, that'll do it. But it's only a workaround. Then you can spare
the right part after /./ in passwd at all. The information given here
should be used by netscape, like with a 'normal' ftp-client.

Yeah, that'll do it. But it's only a workaround. Then you can spare
the right part after /./ in passwd at all (just looking at netscape).
The information given here should be used by netscape, like with
a 'normal' ftp-client. I'm just trying to utilize the abilities of wuftpd.

Colin,
Does your OS use statis libs for ls etc
If so did you move/create the necessary files/links for the ls libraries on
the NFS mointpoint.

try tracing the calls made by ls to see which libraries get called (and
which calls fail from the chrooted directory).

I also recall someone on the list talking about specific configs necessary
for wuftpd using NFS partitions but I ditched the mail and cant recall the
content.

I guess I should have been more specific.

I have the guest settings set for ftp users. When the ftp in to the
system the root directory becomes there own. so;

/ /username

Now if I want to add a anonymous ftp, I have a nfs mounted an
ftp machine. Now to link to their directory on the ftp server
I do

/public_ftp -> /usr/ftp/c/chris

Unfortunately when they ftp into their account and try to
CD to that directory it says it does not exist! It will
list it but not allow CD's. I disable the guest option
or change their group and it works fine but then leaves
access to the whole system open

So ......

Here's some other weirdness in the beta left over from the old 2.4 release.
I have just noted the problems, not tried to fix them, so I don't have any
patch files.

---------

ftpd.c:line 1713: char line[BUFSIZ];

ftpd.c:line 1715: (void) sprintf(line, cmd, name), name = line;

name is a parameter to retrieve(), line an automatic variable in
an inner block, whose address thus is passed out of that block, and
used later.

This appears to be dangerous. I see no reason to assume this
works, except by good fortune.

Making line static appears to fix the basic problem.

---------

I saw this mentioned in the one of the comp.security.* groups some time ago.

popen.c:line 75, 76: char **pop,
*argv[100],

and line 122: for (argc = 0, cp = program;; cp = NULL)
if (!(argv[argc++] = strtok(cp, " \t\n")))
break;

If ftpd_open ever is called with more than 100 arguments (which appears to
be up to the user) we risk a core dump, with all the associated unpleasantness.

Adding a check that argc never reaches 100, and returns NULL (?) if it does
seems to be the best solution.

I just took a look inside the redhat wu-ftpd source distribution. They
have a patch called wu-ftpd-2.4.2-pam.patch that I assume provides pam
support for wuftpd. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to send you the
patch.

Nope. No can do. FTP URLs need to be set up this way - otherwise
there's no way to get to directories above the home directory.

Not really a Netscape issue, but a Web standards issue. Every web
browser works this way (or at least they should!).

Think about it in URL terms. What URL would "clicking on the
'parent-dir' link" give you?
Ok, now what would the root directory URL be?

The only way to make this work might be to have a special syntax like
ftp://user@host/~/ or something that would go into the home directory,
do a pwd to find out where you are, and then change the URL in the
browser to what it really is - ftp://user@host/home/dir/ or whatever.

And you'd have to get this hack accepted by the URL standards
committee...

OK - now I think, I understand, what you mean: because the user tells his Browser
to visit ftp.mydomain.de, it should bring him to ftp.mydomain.de and not to
ftp.mydomain.de/sub1.
But sometimes you put an URL in your Browser and end up somewhere else without
intervening. I was thinking of s.th. like that: contacting ftp.mydomain.de ports you to
ftp.mydomain.de/sub1 (with an automateted update of the displayed URL in the
Browser), 'cause there is nothing of interest for the guest in his root-dir - that's, why
ftp ftp.mydomain.de from the command-line brings him directly to /sub1 and not to /
due to a clever interpretation of the passwd by the wuftpd.

I think, I like that as little, as you do. In the end, I wanted to make the user's life
easier (without clicking through the tree until you finaly are at the interesting stuff
or without extending the nessecary URL.

Hi all

I'm testing wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11 on a Linux 1.2.13 ELF.

I'm running the daemon with this command line :

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

I want to chroot my users. So I've setup a "guestgroup users" in
/etc/ftpaccess. And I've created a user called say "test" and installed
/home/test/bin/ls which is a statically linked ls I use on
/home/ftp/bin/ls.

The problem is than if I ftp as anonymous, I can ls without problem, and
if I ftp as "test", chroot works (pwd gives /) but I can't ls. ls makes
simply nothing. I can cd relatively to /home/test, it works, but ls
doesnt.

Has anybody had this problem ?

Norbert

Pluggable Authentication Modules. A subroutine library supporting any sort of authentication(s) configurable by the system administrator on a per service basis without recompliation. So, instead of having code in login which checks passwd, and duplicate code in rlogin along with additional code to check .rhosts, each can just call pam and the systems administrator can decide how each should authenticate users.

Pluggable Authentication Modules.

They are libraries that are supposed to unify the authentication methods
in any Unix system so new authentication methods can be added to all the
programs installed just by adding a new library.

AIX has had them for some time.

Can PAM be used if you want to authenticate users out of a database
instead of the passwd file ?

thanks for your help

Is it going to be possible to have a non-IP based VirtualFTP host
like non-IP based VirtualWWW hosts in Apache?

I posed this question before but nobody seemed interested in
answering it...please correct me if I'm being flamboyant in any way.

Thanx,

I would guess no, since the client does not tell the server what name it
used to get to the server. That is the trick, I think, they use for
non-IP virtual WWW.

I dont think the protocol support's it.
HTTP 1.1 has a Host: header. No such think in FTP AFAIK.

Hostname based virtual FTP *IS IMPOSSIBLE* unless you want to try and
change the protocol, and all of the client software. Simply put, the
HTTP protocol was changed to support virtual web hosting. The target
host *name* is now sent by many clients (browsers) to enable this
feature - it was so important that it happened.

To do the same with FTP, you would have to add a similar feature to
the FTP protocol and get enough of the existing client software
modified to make it worthwhile.

Since HTTP does (almost) replace FTP for anonymous applications, I'd
suggest that you are beating on a dead horse.

NOT to say that FTP does not have its technical advantages - it does -
but I personally don't think they are important enough to make this
happen.

Hello,

I am having trouble compiling wu-ftpd 2.4 on a Solaris UltraSparc running
Solaris 2.5.1. I am using gcc 2.7.2 and when I run build sol, the script
gives the error message:

Making support library.
rm -f libsupport.a
ac cq libsupport.a fnmatch.o strcasestr.o strsep.o authuser.o
sh: ar: not found
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target 'all'

similar messages:

sh: yacc: not found

gcc: vers.o: No such file or directory (twice)

Yet all of those file are present in the appropriate locations. I assume
this is some type of path problem but cannot hit upon what I should
modify to correct it. (I did modify the Makefiles to use gcc instead of
cc)

Suggestions or hints would be appreciated.

They are some flaws in your discussion, you're assuming {,wrongly}
that everybody have the same environment.
Not everybody uses tcp_wrappers(yes they should .. that's off topic)
Not every systems have PAM. PAM is not widely use
- Solaris 2.6 will have it(don't quote me)
- Redhat Linux distribution 4.x ?

PAM was still a draft 2 | 3 years ago, give it time for wide
acceptance. The Linux community can move at very fast paste,
give the rest of us a chance ;-)

The changes that you're proposing is one of policy hence too
drastic to fit in 2.4.2-beta-1x. That is consider to be
a security_bug fixes. Your patch would be of better use in
a new release ... 2.5.x ?

I think everybody agrees that some part(if not all ;) of the
code needs rewriting. Now for the behaviour of those extra
features ... it is a matter of personnal taste, religion
and phase of the moon.

Mr Barber seems to do an excellent job in keeping everything focus.
One of the hardest thing in maintaining free software is to
reject patches and new features ;).
There is so many patches floating around in this archive, that
I'm very curious to see what's in 2.5.x ;-)

Last note, yes I agree with you ..*small _IS_ beautifull*

I guess what the problem is depends on your perspective. There's no easy
way to fix it because the chroot of the _regular_ anonymous ftp is coded
into the server. Tcpwrapper can manage the virtual ftp without using _any_
virtual directives. This is awfully round the barn, but this should work:

[What we are doing here is fool ftpd into using a separate passwd file for
each virtual server, just to get the right anonymous ftp directory for each
virtual server. We use tcpwrapper and each virtualftp runs EXACTLY like
the real ftp server, because it _is_ a real ftp server as far as it knows.
That is the virtue of tcpwrapper, no special cases. It would probably be
easier to code a "set-anonymous-ftp-root" directive, install the -a patch,
and have tcpwrapper run ftpd with a different config file for each virtual
server than go through the hassles of setting things up as below. In fact,
it probably could have been done in the time it's taken to write all this
correspondance with you. :-( ]

Install gnu chroot, a shell command which chroots.

Install tcpwrapper, compile with everything turned on.

Configure inetd to run tcpwrapper on port 21 (as is usual with tcpwrapper)

Configure tcpwrapper to look at the ip on the server side of the
connection, and then run two commands (use TWIST to do this).

The first command is a chroot <somewhere>. There should be a <somewhere>
directory for each virtual server; tcpwrappers should direct chroot to the
appropriate directory based on the ip number to which the ftp client is
connecting. <somewhere>/etc/passwd should have a ftp user defined, with
the appropriate home directory for anonymous ftp to that virtual server.
It must also have users defined as appropritate for that virtual server,
with the /./ in the home directory for guestgroup users and so forth.
<somewhere>/etc/ftpaccess should be a valid ftpd configuration file, one
that does not contain the "virtual" directive. (It can probably be the
same configuration file for all the virtual servers.) <somewhere>/lib
should contain all the libraries needed to run ftpd, and all the other
incidentals associated with executing things chroot should be attended to.
The guestgroup users directories should also be beneath <somewhere>, or
you're faced with the prospect of hardlinking directories.

The second command runs wu-ftpd.

Unfortunately, you can't do that.

The way virtual services work is by checking the IP address a user
connected to. That is how a the server can tell if a user wanted
ftp.foo.com or ftp.bar.net. So for all virtual services you need to have
multiple IP addresses.

The reason web servers can get around this is because HTTP/1.1 clients
send as part of their query the name of the host they're trying to get
to, so the server has all the information it needs to decide whether you
wanted www.foo.com or www.bar.net.

Note that this method doesn't work for HTTP/1.0 clients, and there are an
awful lot of them, so even for web servers this technique isn't
necessarily usable now (by this time next year, however, you'd probably
be safe to do it as most people who have updated their browsers to a
version that does send the destination host in the query).

Of course, this functionality could be added to the FTP protocol, but a
reality check says this is never going to happen. You're never going to
get all the vendor code updated, and really there isn't the demand for
it. It is a lot easier with HTTP was there are only a limited number of
browsers, and the browsers are fast-changing so new technology can have a
large penetration in basically no time.

IMHO, and I know I'm going to get a lot of flak for this, the solution is
to not offer virtual FTP service. I offer it for my customers, but 99% of
them don't use it anyway. I also offer FTP service for my non-virtual
customers and 99.9% of them don't use it for serving files (only for
putting up their web pages). Eventually, Apache/Stronghold will have all
the Netscape document upload etc. stuff so FTP won't really be necessary.

With ftp clients like :

asterix>ls -l /usr/ucb/ftp
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 96220 Sep 9 1991 /usr/ucb/ftp

asterix>uname -a
asterix asterix 3.2 2 i386

(Interactive Unix)

in daily use, that's not going to happen. Browsers appealed to the 'get
the latest version every time' crowd. Ftp clients using the protocol we're
talking about where here since about 1975.

yes
but I would say stick with `David Greenman' patch(unless you know
what you're doing). Mr Greenman spent a lot of time
screening the code and it showed. His patch is elegant(a few lines)
and efficient.

They were a lot of patches on BUGTRAQ playing with the
signal handlers and all. It was killing flies whith a
magnum 45.

Some uses sigset() sig*() which differs from OS to OS.
So they may do more arm then good.

The race condition for the SIGPIPE|SIGURG stands a
chance to be win because of acl_remove()
(it can go to sleep(1).. ).

Like David pointed it out to me
do_logout() is the only place(transflag is set)
.. at least the only place he had found ;-)

I like:

if (get_a_lock) {
log("sleeping on lock");
timeout=MAX_LOCK_WAIT;
if (sleep_on_lock(timeout) == TIMED_OUT) {
log("timed out waiting for lock");
exit(1);
}
log("successfully got lock");
}

One approach to dealing with differences in signals between Unix versions
appears in "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment" by W. Richard
Stevens. In section 10.15, he provides a re-implementation of "signal" in
terms of "sigaction" and related routines.

If this routine could be #ifdef into the code, it might provide some of the
benfits of a more complex patch (reliable signals on more versions of Unix.)

Blocking the signals is simply wrong. It will cause ftpd to miss important
connection close signals that could result in it hanging indefinately. Some
operating systems have a mechanism for defering signal delivery, but this is
not very portable.

I discovered my problem... It was the permissions on /lib/rld
There was a posting in the archives(of course) with files and
permissions... very helpful!

Are you sure you're using the ftpaccess file? For some really weird
reason, that's _not_ the default. I use this to invoke ftpd from inetd.

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/wu.ftpd -laiou022

Subject: denying real users
Content-Type: text
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

How does one deny all access by real users, allowing only anonymous
FTP? I've tried the obvious:

limit real 0 Any /home/ftp/useanon.msg

But for some odd reason (haven't examined the source in detail) the
server only displays the file "usenanon.msg" when a nonexistent login
ID is given. Frankly this makes me nervious, because obviously it
can be used to determine whether a given login ID corresponds to a
real account name on the system.

Perhaps I'm just being stupid. But I really don't want cleartext
passwords coming in from the outside, and so I don't want any real
users - just anonymous ones.

Subject: Slow Upload Problem

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
X-Mailer: WeMail32[1.00] ID:1A2370
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello all,

I am using wu_ftpd 2.4 for a while now.
We allow our customers to FTP as a real user and upload files. Recently,
many users are complaining about SLOW uploading and we have no clue what
might be the cause of this problem... They say it is not only slow but
also they got dropped off in the middle of uploading a large file, thus
have to start all over again.

We use 256K leased line. We tried to duplicate the problem but every time
we upload some files, everything seems OK.
Majority of our users are located in Japan and we test the uploading
performance in US. This might be the difference.
What is more confusing is that they say downloading files are very fast,
so I think the problem is not due to a congested line somewhere between
Japan and US.

We use wu_ftpd 2.4 and Linux 2.0.0.

Could anybody give me any solutions for this problem or what I should do to
locate the problem (and fix it!)
Sorry for a newbie question, but any comments would be really appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I would like to possibly restrict certain users so that when they log in
to the system via ftp, it will choot them to their home dir. Is there a
way to do this? I have seen it done, but I have gotten no response from
the server administrator. Thanks in advance for any help you may have.

If software companies that sell UNIX derivatives I don't to which I don't
have access wish to donain copies of their UNIX derivative to me for the
purposes of doing maintenace work on this and the other packages I maintain,
please contact me directly to discuss.

I wish to offer my thanks to SCO for making available their OS software
for my testing of this release. Additionally, their support in documenting
problems in the software has been very helpful. Additionally, I received
some bug reports from the FreeBSD project for which I am grateful.

Finally, both The AUS-CERT and the CERT/CC have continued to provide me
with feedback on the security issues with this software.

This is another release candidate.

Ticket Numbers 18, 20, 29, 31, 43, 46, 47, 50, 52, 59, 77, 92, 102, 107, 115,
118, 119, 124, 132, 134, and 137: Linix 2.0 (actually libc 5.3.12) changed
the way that directory manupulation was done. This was reported by many folks:
[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],
[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],
[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],
[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],
[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],
[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]

The problem was that glob.c would not compline on Linux 2.X systems.

The fix was one suggested by [email protected] along with some work by me to
insure that Linux 1.X users would still be able to use this on their systems.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket Numbers 19 from [email protected] pointed out a bug in processing
"SITE CHMOD 0". The command didn't work and the server didn't give a reply.
His fix is incorporated in this release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 28 from [email protected] and Ticket 105 from [email protected]
noted that there were some instances in ftpcmd.y where values could be
NULL. This would cause segmentation violations on may flavors of Unix.
Ian's bug fixes were incorporated into this release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 49 from [email protected] provided configuration files
for Digital Unix 3.2 with C2 Security. This is now integrated into this
release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 55 from [email protected] pointed out that Solaris 2.X does support
getrlimit. He suggested that a change be made to config.sol to make use
of that. This release does make that change.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 57 from [email protected] offered some adjustments for making better use of
available library routines in Unixware 2.1. This release has made some of
the adjustments he suggested.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The suggested changes have been made in this release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 61 from [email protected] pointed out that when a null is sent
to the server, it should ignore it and it is treating it like EOF. Now it
ignores it. Fix from [email protected] was used.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 62 from [email protected] noted a type on one of the URLs in the NOTES file.
This is fixed in this release. He also suggested that having the debug mode
log passwords is not good. He provided a fix for this and it is also in
this release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 65 from [email protected] noted that subsequent files upload requests can't
be restarted correctly. He provided a fix for this and it is in this release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 67 from [email protected] noted RFC 1127's suggestions are not being followed
by this server and that STAT is using a 211 response when a 213 is probably
better. Those changed are in this release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 70 from [email protected] pointed out a possible overflow problem when
processing the SITE CHMOD and SITE UMASK commands. The server did not check
for overflow conditions. His fix is incorporated in this release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 72 from [email protected] noted that subsequent files requests can't
be aborted correctly. He provided a fix for this and it is in this release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 75 from the AUSCERT brought to my attention a need to check to be sure
the 100 element argv array in the popen subroutine is not overflowed. This is
now done. The other problem reported had been fixed in previous releases.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 76 from [email protected] noted stderr output from ftpd when being started
by inetd were problematical. Theses error messages now go to syslog.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ticket 87 from [email protected] offers fixes the basic problems introduced in
beta-11 with the virtual host code. There have been no changes in how the
configuration files are configured.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 97 from [email protected] pointed out a problem in the old virtual
code where an illegal strcpy was being done. This was fixed with the patches
in ticket 87.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 98 from [email protected] points out a bug introduced in the academ betas
with the T_ASCII flag in ftpconversions. Its meaning had become reverse from
what it used to be. This is now fixed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 100 from [email protected] points out a mispelling in the notes file and
suggests a fix so that "anonymous" and "ftp" are made to be the same as far
as the server is concerned. This is included in this release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 103 from [email protected] offered some support files to make
it possible to build wu-ftpd on AU/X 3.0 and later. This is included in
this release
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

code that permits guest groups to continue to work. This fix is included in
this release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 152 from [email protected] provided additional protection for
some operating system over the protection provided in ticket 139. This is
included in this release, but has only been tested on the operating systems
listed in the ANNOUNCE-12 file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 152 from [email protected] suggested the the FreeBSD configuration
not install the sample configuration files over previously existing ones.
This release does not install them at all. A new approach will be used in
release 2.5 of this software that will address this for all OSes supported.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A message on the mailing list from May 2, 1996 by [email protected]

I've used this method to test the new ftpd, and it works without
problems. It is mentioned in the FAQ at

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

5.2 :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.Testing on a different port number then ftp

You can test the wu-ftpd on a different port by adding two ports with
consecutive numbers in /etc/services, and then starting wu-ftpd on these
ports. Add to /etc/services something like :

ftptest 4021/tcp #command port
ftptest-data 4020/tcp #data port

Then start wu-ftpd from /etc/inetd.conf like :

ftptest stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/in.ftpd in.ftpd

The key is the name 'ftptest' which associates the port assignment in the
/etc/services file to that in the inetd.conf file. Make certain the choice
of ports in /etc/services (4021 and 4020 above) are from the local
use list and don't
conflict with other port assignments (see RFC1700, ASSIGNED
NUMBERS).
One important subtlety. The data port is not really derived from the data port
declaration in the /etc/services file. The FTP specification (RFC765) states
the data port is defined as one less than the command port.
However, including the data port declaration in the /etc/services
file prevents it from being accidentally assigned to something else.

The anonymous users are always chrooted. For real users, you cant define
a guestgroup in /etc/ftpaccess. But you MUST run ftpd with the -a option
to use /etc/ftpaccess.

Everything is very well explained in the FAQ :

make a guestgroup account. put them in this group (you could make it
their main group). add this group to the guestgroup line in ftpaccess.
that should do it. of course they can telnet in unless you give them a
shell such as /bin/true or /bin/false or /dev/null for that matter (be
sure and have the shell you choose in /etc/shells).

Subject: Microsoft ftp client and wu-ftpd vers wu-2.4(4)
X-Mailer: Microsoft Mail V3.0
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello,
Within the past week or so, something happened so that Microsoft
ftp clients on our internal net that use our ftp gateway to establish
ftp sessions with Internet servers have been getting:

500 command not understood

in response to certain commands such as "pwd" and "mkdir".
The ftp gateway is running BSD/OS vers 2.0.1 and ftpd ver wu-2.4(4).

If I enter debug mode on the client, I can see that the command
actually sent *from* the client is "XPWD" or "XMKD". Running ftpd
in debug mode didn't help at all as it appears (I'm guessing here)
that if the session is passing through to a server on the Internet
(rather than to the ftp gateway server itself), another binary named
(on our server) ftp-gw is instead used. I can't figure out how to get
that process to run in debug mode, if that's at all possible; ftp-gw -?
returned "illegal option".

Initially, I thought that perhaps the X prefix was causing the problem
but executing remotehelp from the ftp client (while connected to any
one of several Internet sites, including ftp.bsdi.com) shows that the
command XPWD is valid. However, man ftpd indicates that several Xcmd
commands have been "deprecated".

I have not made any changes to either BSD/OS or ftpd on the gateway
machine in quite some time, so I'm confused as to why this started
happening. I've verified that the ftp client that comes with Win95
and WFW3.11 both have this problem while the ftp clients from several
different flavors of UNIX and the ftp client that comes with Novell LWP
do not have this problem. As well, the Microsoft ftp clients do not have
problems with any internal servers, just when trying to use the ftp
gateway to get out to the Internet.

Does anyone have any insight as to what the problem might be ?

Thanks much,
Richard
[email protected]

P.S. I'm not asking for and do not expect to receive any help from
list users for the Microsoft ftp client which I don't believe,
because it worked with the gateway until just recently, to be
the source of the problem.

If you're running a Solaris 2 server, check that the permissions on
/dev/tcp under the anonymous FTP root (ie. ~ftp/dev/tcp) are set up
with world write rights. For some reason, this is required on Solaris 2
before passive connections will work.

For example :-

crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 11, 42 Mar 13 1996 tcp

Hope this helps...

Cheers, Bob

I've just gotten through a similar problem, where neither Netscape, Microsoft IE, nor even my TEDvision browser from Triteal could connect to our anonymous FTP server. The server is running Solaris 2.4 and permissions had always been set correctly for /dev/tcp. It wasn't Solaris or wu-ftpd, but turned out to be a control property of Firewall-1. Its default setup doesn't enable PASV. You might want to check whatever you're using for packet/application filtering.

I had a similar problem, but I can't be sure it had the signal 11
symptoms. Anyway my problem was the firewall was not open to allow
the upper numbered ports permission into my server. So as soon as
PASV mode was entered things went South for me. As soon as the ports
were opened up things were fine.

after some recently and not so recently discovered security problems with
our wu-ftp 2.4 (which was installed in good 'ol 1994 =) i downloaded
the newest academ beta 11, made a couple of recommended patches, built and
installed it. it works fine except that it doesn't seem to be honoring
our ftpaccess file. i've checked and double checked the '#includes'.
i went so far as to eliminate all of the '#ifdefs' execept the ones we need.

the bin/ckconfig program that it comes with finds ftpaccess in the
correct place, but messages and rules aren't applied. is there something
obvious that im missing? ( running SunOS xxxxxx 4.1.3 12 sun4m ).

help is appreciated . please CC responses back to me as im not
subscribed at the moment, but hopefully soon will be.

We're trying to get 2.4 up and running on a Sol2.5 box.

real users access fine, but user ftp (anonymous) can't get anything. Even
and ls command fails.

here is the error messages:

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

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed.

"...It is somewhat of a rude awakening for many of these parents to
find that America is facing a most serious situation regarding its
popular music. Welfare workers tell us that never in the history of
our land have there been such immoral conditions among our
young people, and in the surveys made by many organizations
regarding these conditions, the blame is laid on jazz music and its
evil influence on the young people of today... That it has a
demoralizing effect upon the human brain has been demonstrated
by many scientists."

This is a very common question, and as such, is in the FAQ:

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

There you'll find lots of solutions to potential problems with wu-ftpd and
Solaris 2.x.

Mike,
In the curreent release of wuftpd the -a cmd line option (which invokes the
ftpaccess file) is NOT the default (although it may have been in your
previous release).
check that you have the -a option in your inetd.conf
eg.
ftp stream tcp nowait root /local/sbin/in.tcpd /pub/ftp/in.ftpd
-a -u133

Hui,
you need a copy of ls (and any other commands you want guests and anonymous
to run) in their chrooted ftpd directory tree. You also need copies of any
statically linked libraries (such as the one in your email) depending upon
your OS.
Check the FAQ.

I need to get wu-ftpd 2.4.2 to log through syslog. What entries do I need
in the syslog.conf file to make this happen? I already have this:

ftp.* /local/lib/ftp/ftplog

do I need anything else?

I also have the -a and -l options in the inetd.conf file file

Any suggestions?

Hello,

I'm running wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta11 on an AIX3.2.5 and with some patches
everything seemed to work fine.
I wrote in my ftpaccess-file:

passwd-check trivial enforce

but I can type even nothing at all, and I get logged in as an
anonymous-user :(

I made the folling permissions:

chmod no anonymous
delete no anonymous
rename no anonymous

but I can chmod, delete and rename files as an anonymous user...

What went wrong ? Has anyone an idea ?

So long and thanx for all the fish,

I dunno why, but the defaults were changed. You need to run with the -a
flag to have it read ftpaccess. I use -laiou022.

Message 1:

Version: wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11
O/S: Linux 1.2.3 (but I think its a general bug)
CC: gcc 2.7.2

ftpaccess includes:

upload /ftp /for-andrew yes andrew c+a 0660 dirs
upload /ftp /pub/incoming yes root root 0600 nodirs

Ftping as a guest user and making a directory in /for-andrew results
in 530 (permission denied). Removing the second upload or setting it
to "dirs" allows directories to be created in /for-andrew. I.e. the
directives are interfering with each other.

dir_check() in extensions.c includes the following code:

i = match_value; /* i is -1 here */
while (getaclentry("upload", &entry) && ARG0 && ARG1 && ARG2 != NULL) {
/* CERT suggested fix (change && to || ) */
if ( (!strcmp(ARG0, pw->pw_dir)) ||
((i = path_compare(ARG1, cwdir)) >= match_value) ) {
match_value = i;
ap2 = ARG2;
if (ARG3) ap3 = ARG3;
else ap3 = NULL;
if (ARG4) ap4 = ARG4;
else ap4 = NULL;
if (ARG6) ap6 = ARG6;
else ap6 = NULL;
}
if ( ((ap2 && !strcasecmp(ap2, "no")) &&
(ap3 && strcasecmp(ap3, "dirs"))) ||
(ap3 && !strcasecmp(ap3, "nodirs")) ||
(ap6 && !strcasecmp(ap6, "nodirs")) ) {
reply(530, "%s: Permission denied. (Mkdir)", name);
return(0);
}
}

The original code (as the comment) suggests had && instead of ||, but
also finished the while loop after the first if-statement. The effect
of the change is that any "upload" which disallows creating
directories will deny permission for all directory creation for all
directories for which the root-dir matches.

Subject: Re: [ACADEM-SW-SUPPORT #144] ftpaccess/upload bug

Further to my bug report I have enhanced wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11 to add
a mode for directory creation to the "upload" directive. The
<dirmode> parameter is tacked onto the end of the line so it shouldn't
break existing ftpaccess files. The patch is appended (ftpaccess.5,
ftpd.c and extensions.c), this reverses a previous change in dir_check
(which I think was wrong)

Hi Bryan

your system might be different, but on my linux box, ftp.* is not
a legal log "facilities" ( wu-ftpd does not use syslog ?? )

the ftp transfer activity shows up in /var/log/xferlog in my case
( path defined in wu-ftpd *.h file somewhere )

have fun

In the past I posted an install script for SunOS 4.1.3. Well, now I am
changing my CPU to a Sun Ultra 1 140, which means Solaris 2.5.1.

I've upgraded the script for Solaris 2 and have attached it below. This
definately helps set up the required files and directories. The only thing
I am not positive about is the timezone information, since it operates a
little differently under Solaris 2, i.e., there isn't a localtime file in
the main Solaris 2 installation.

In any event, the script works for me and the ls/dir command errors is not
there after using this script.

Enjoy.

I'm surprised this works. But it's great if it does. You're sure
you're not picking up SUNOS versions of the above files? Is this the
machine that's currently ftp.ftms.com? Or is the current one your
SunOS machine? That machine is running SunOS libs.

The new machine is not on line yet. I'm still using the SPARCstation 20
as the main machine. The Ultra 1 140 is connected to the internal network
and stuff is being installed on it. So, if you connect to ftms.com right
now, you will definately see SunOS stuff.

Greetings,

I am running wu-ftpd on SunOS 4.1.4

When I try to upload a file as an anonymous user I recive the following error:

553 Could not determine cwdir: Result too large.

I have no ftpaccess file, as of yet. So the error is probably not there.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Try making the directory writable only and not readable and not executable.
That way people can ftp it up but no-one can see it and no one can run it.
Make the default umask 333 so the files end up with rrr access so that cant
be execd by anyone with shell access.

Sorry about this.
Let's have another go at it.
Try making the directory writable and executable only and not readable.

That way people can ftp it up but no-one can see it or download it.
Make the default umask 333 so the files end up with rrr access so that cant
be execd by anyone with shell access.

Subject: Beta-13 is coming soon
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

It appears I will be releasing beta-13 around Valentine's day (Feb 14, 1997).
This version will really fix the AUSCERT problems in the popen() routine
and may have some other stuff from folks that have access to hardware I
don't have access to.

In any case, mail you fixes for beta-12 to [email protected].

Don't bother with mailing me fixes for beta-11 as I don't want to go back to
that code base again.

Thanks in advance.

Do a check with 'which install' to see which one you're running. Solaris
fresh installs have this annoying habit of putting /usr/ucb a bit
early in your path giving you the most horrid yes/no sunos compatibility.

And /usr/ucb/install and /usr/sbin/install differ.

Stan,

I haven't yet looked at B12, so sorry if this is already answered, but
do you support, or are you planning to support, "guest user" (as opposed
to guest group)?

Thanks,

well, I'm completley new to this mailing-list, but there's a solution
apart from wu-ftpd, called tcp-wrapper. It monitors and controls TCP
and UDP connections. It even may booby trap intruders. Just have a look
at

ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/security/tcp_wrapper.txt.Z

It's worth trying it!

I tried to compile the new beta-12 version, but compiler stopped with an
error

cc: Error: ftpd.c, line 2272: In this declaration, "timeout" has no
linkage and is of an incomplete type.
struct timeval timeout;

I fixed it simply adding a
#include <sys/time.h>
after the first list of #include in ftpd.c

After I fixed that, no other problem occurred, only a warning reported:

picard.ZROOT <177> which install
/usr/sbin/install

<And /usr/ucb/install and /usr/sbin/install differ.

You are correct. Keep in mind that running the wrong install will cause
it to fail with an error. Early in the game the PATH was changed to move
/usr/ucb/ after /usr/sbin/.

I will change my copy of the script so that it only uses the /usr/ucb/
install.

Nice catch.

This is a new feature, so it will not be in the 2.4.X code base. It will
be considered for the 2.5 code base.

You are welcome to send in patches against the 2.4.2 release code base (when
that happens) to implement your vision of this functionality if you want to
see it in the 2.5 code.

That wheel is already available at ftp.cetis.hvu.nl:/pub/koos/ftplogcheck

Not really; I was having exactly the same problem, and I am pretty sure I
had write access to the directory I was trying to write the file to (I
was logged in as root and I was $HOME).

I did however tried it through Netscape (as previously sggested) and I
got the file w/out any problems.... :-%

hello
Hello `Anders Thulin' pointed a buffer overrun in
the ftpd_popen()(see archive).
I did successfully manage to get a SIGVEC
in wu-ftpd-*-beta-11, I do believe that beta-12 still
have the same flaw. In a previous posting Mr Barber
said this will be corrected in beta-13.
Until then, here's a patch. It was done against beta-12.

Thanks to `Anders Thulin' for bouncing idea's against

if yu need the patch for beta-11 or you
have a better solution, or I just missed something,
please email

Funet has a different version based on the same bsd ftpd sources as
wu-ftpd originally was. The advantage of the funet ftpd is that it offers
maximum bandwith used per class, other then that the features are
basically the same (for as far as I can tell). For years they've been
telling they are about to switch to wu-ftpd, I guess that happens when
someone merges their bandwidth limiting code with wu-ftpd.

There's also a more commercial and totally new implementation: NcFtpd.
I know it's a non-forking version with some other advantages, but I
know no details (and no webpage). It's related to the ncftp client.

You have not gone mad, but you are asking that the distribution be changed to
much for a minor release. A completely new installation strategy will be used
for release 2.5, which should start being available in alpha in the spring.

PARANOID is a tcp wrappers option in /etc/hosts.allow that has nothing to
do with ftpd. From the hosts.allow man page:

PARANOID
Matches any host whose name does not match its
address. When tcpd is built with -DPARANOID
(default mode), it drops requests from such clients
even before looking at the access control tables.
Build without -DPARANOID when you want more control
over such requests.

I've not had to solve the question posed; does simply leaving 'real' out
of the /etc/ftpaccess class statements not work?

Which Beta version? I did version 2.4.2 Beta 12 on Solaris 2.5.1

<Before compiled, I've installed support/ftp.h as /usr/include/arpa/ftp.h.

I didn't do this at all.

I used the GNU gcc 2.7.2 compiler.

With the above it compiled for me and installed and works.

You could also make sure all user shells are *not* listed in
/etc/shells... but this could have other side effects. :-)

The following ftpaccess lines work with beta 11. With beta 12 I get
"Permission denied. (Upload)" when I try to put a file to the pub
directory. (Although this might not be the best syntax, something
appears to have changed.)

upload /ftp/guests * no
upload /ftp/guests */pub yes admin guestgroup 0660 dirs
upload /ftp/guests */pub/* yes admin guestgroup 0660 dirs

Note that there are lots of entries like the following in the (real)
system passwd file:

g1:x:7001:70:G1:/ftp/guests/./g1:/bin/false
g2:x:7002:70:G2:/ftp/guests/./g2:/bin/false
g3:x:7003:70:G3:/ftp/guests/./g3:/bin/false
g4:x:7004:70:G4:/ftp/guests/./g4:/bin/false

Check out http://www.probe.net/~mgleason/ncftpd/index.html

There is a 30 day free evaluation period. You won't get ANY source code :-(
I tried to check ncftpd with my SGI IRIX 5.3 but had problems with link
libraries. So I'll stay with wu-ftpd ;-)

BTW: The ncftp client is excellent and I really like it.

: PARANOID is a tcp wrappers option in /etc/hosts.allow that has nothing to

Well, I remembered something about paranoid:

add -DPARANOID to CFLAGS to disable questionable functions.
add -DANON_ONLY to CFLAGS if you're building an anonymous-only server.

Did you ever get a response on this?

I would appreciate any info you may have gotten, as I am having a
similar problem with a customer.

Hi

I have created a collection of "virtual domain" examples...
which includes virtual ftp... Please review it as it may help
solve some of your banner question. ( my virtual ftp/banners/logs works )
within the limitations of unix & protocols...

http://www.Linux-Consulting.com/FAQ_virtual

If anyone would like to add/expand the contents, please let me know

thanx

I had a similar problem with banners in virtual servers. I can't remember
exactly what the problem was, but I ended up just using the "message" spec
instead. My ftpaccess file has:

message /welcome.msg LOGIN

And I put a welcome.msg in the root of each virtual server.

I'm using 2.4.2 BETA-11

I never got any feedback to this idea when I posted it in October. So
I'll try again, this time with a shorter posting...

Sometimes it may be important to know that file transfers are failing.
The xferlog file won't identify FAILED file transfers: if a user's
connection drops in mid-transfer, a record is never written to xferlog.

I've patched ftpd.c to send xferlog-type records to syslog, at the start
of a file transfer, and again at the end. I process the syslog to identify
failed file transfers, by looking for start-of-transfer records that don't
have corresponding end-of-transfer records.

If there's any interest in this technique, let me know. Of course, maybe
you already have :-)

I *have* to be missing something simple here, but I can't get the
ftpaccess file to work, no matter what change I make.

I have tried beta-11 and now I am running beta-12, on Solaris 2.5.1. It
compiled fine without any errors.

I looked at pathnames.h, and though I am *not* a programs, I guessed
that I would make certain definitions in the config.h file, so that if I
defined USE_ETC in config.h, then according to the pathnames.h, it would
use the ftpaccess in /etc.

I have tried placing this file in the real /etc, and in ~ftp/etc, and it
still doesn't see the changes I make. I kill and restart inetd, and
even have tried rebooting, to make sure it is re-reading the file.

I have inetd.conf set to use the -a flag, so force it to use ftpaccess
file.

Any other ideas - I'm getting desperate...

Thanks,
Mike Farace

I've used most of the beta's (up to 10) and most recently 12. I
couldn't get ftpd to respect the file access rights for uploads.
The owner/group was fine, but files got dropped off with rw-rw-r--.
The only way around this for me was with the -u command line option.

I was using BDSI 2.01. What specific option of ftpaccess couldn't
you get to work?

Thought: ensure that the ftpaccess file has the proper rights to
be read by the ftpd process launched by inetd.

I cannot get *any* part of the ftpaccess file working. I have tried
banner and message commands, and deny commands - nothing works. The
ftpaccess file is world read-able, so that should not be a problem.

Any other ideas?

People

I have gotten the virtual ftp server feature sort of working with the Red
Hat 3.0.3 installation, which uses wu-ftpd 2.4.2 Beta 9. The ftpaccess
virtual command looks like this

# Virtual Servers
virtual 165.254.117.200 /home/home3/ftp2
/home/home3/ftp2/etc/banner.msg

where the 1st arg is the ip # of the virtual server, the
second is the
new root, and the third is the banner to display upon login.

I had problems in that my upload directive was not being applied to
anonymous virtual uploads, in that the nodirs command was not honored, and
the user/group was not applied to the files uploaded.

In reading the man pages, and the clarification on the upload directive,
it's still clear as mud. It says the upload keyword only applies to users
who have a home directory (argument of chroot) = to the <root-dir>.

In my case, I have set up a virtual ftp server, and I want to allow people
to upload files anonymously. It would seem that these people would be users
ftp, and that their home directory would be /home/ftp. Which should enable
the upload command.

Maybe I could control things better by setting up a special user, and
making the virtual domain uploaders sign in with a generic login, instead
of signing in as anonymous ?

So I have downloaded Beta 12, to see if the problems go away. I notice a
different ftpaccess line, which looks like this
# Virtual Server at 10.10.10.10
virtual 10.10.10.10 root /var/ftp/virtual/ftp-serv
virtual 10.10.10.10 banner
/var/ftp/virtual/ftp-serv/banner.msg
virtual 10.10.10.10 logfile
/var/log/ftp/virtual/ftp-serv/xferlog

I'm guessing that Red Hat used a different patch when putting in the
virtual server release last spring.

I'd appreciate any feedback, to make sure that I am not getting too far off
course.

THanks

RedHat must be using the original (old) patch to support virtual FTP. The
current one has been there at least since beta11.

Did you use -a switch? It turns on the ftpaccess parsing. If you don't start ftpd
with this switch, ftpaccess file is ignored.

I have been contemplating switching our ftp server over to wu-ftpd. I have
obtained and succesfully compiled both beta 11 and 12 of 2.4.2 on our SGI
Indy running Irix 5.3. I only need to add the USE_ETC and USE_VAR
directives to the config.sgi file for all paths to work fine. I am having
no trouble setting up my ftpaccess file and any logging options I choose
seem to work fine... until I unsuccessfully log into a non-anonymous
account. After that, any session, whether anonymous or not, is not
recorded in my syslog. The file transfers do make it to xferlog, however.

Sending a HUP signal to inetd restores wu-ftpd's ability to log to syslog.

The only thing I can think of unique to my situation compared to other Irix
5.3 installations is that I am running the server on a non-standard port
until it is ready to go into use as the production server. But this
shouldn't matter...

It sounded as if you hadnt checked exactly where your build stored your
configuration files. Have you tried running the chkconfig program that is
produced along with ftpd that will tell you where each of your config
files like ftpaccess is being looked for?

While sifting through a bunch of wu-ftp related pages, I came across the
following link. Your problem is mentioned there.

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

This is the FAQ page for wu-ftp.

Hope this helps!

You can also run the command strings on the ftpd executable and look
for the path to the access file. This will show what the executable
thinks the path to the file is.

Advised me to use wu-ftpd's '-a' option in inetd.conf , but that didn't
seem to be the problem, as we were already using that flag .

I was finally able to get the server to recognize our ftpaccess file,
but only after removing the directive to use tcp_wrappers .

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/foo/tcpd /usr/beer/ftpd ftpd -a
-- this worked previously, but failed with the newest version

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/beer/ftpd ftpd -a -l
-- works now

Now I have the following questions :

1) why is the 'ftpd' argument necessary ?
2) why won't it work with tcp_wrappers ?

The system is a 'SunOS chief 4.1.3 12 sun4m '. The previous version
of wu-ftpd was three years old, 'wu-2.4(1) Fri Apr 15 11:11:14 EDT 1994',
the current is 'wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-12](1)' .

Could this have something to do with libraries ?

guidance is appreciated ,,

Because inetd expects separate fields for the pathname (/usr/beer/ftpd)
and argv[0] (ftpd).

> 2) why won't it work with tcp_wrappers ?

You are using tcpd incorrectly. The line with tcpd should have been:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/foo/tcpd /usr/beer/ftpd -a
tcpd uses its first argument as both the file name and argv[0].

I'm getting a lot of errors in my logs like:
>Jan 27 16:14:56 pubweb ftpd[22189]: exiting on signal 10
>Jan 27 16:17:25 pubweb ftpd[22288]: exiting on signal 11

On HPUX 10 these are a "bus error" or a "segmentation fault". All I've
looked at in detail seem to involve running external programs like ls or
site exec commands.

Going from beta 11 to beta 12 made things worse.

(I'm using hpux 10.20 on an hp 9000/780, with some local mods to make the
code compile under 10.20.)

Under my local version of beta 12, I was able to get the command "site exec
quota -v" to fail when I just ftped in and ran it without doing something
else.

However, I'm a bit at a loss as to how I can get debugging information to
narrow down the source of the problem. (I know this is a very ill-defined
problem). We normally don't want the ftpd or its children to dump core on
an error. I'm also not sure I can run the whole thing under a debugger.

I tried writing a test wrapper to run the popen.c code independent of the
whole ftpd, but I couldn't get the problem to recur in that case.

One issue I'm concerned about re testing: the FAQ suggests running a test
server on a different port. If I do this, do I need to specify a different
path for the pid files to avoid interference?

I just had this problem and it turned out the be bad devices in ~ftp/dev.
Try remaking them and give that a shot.

Turns out that this is in the FAQ I believe.

Why must I feel like that? Why must I chase the cat?

I've just compiled 2.4.2-beta-12 on my SCO 5 system, and it works fin,
except that when I try to login with a local user (who is listed in
/etc/passwd), it litters the syslog with 'exit on signal 11' errors, and
dumps erorr 421 : closing connection errors to the terminal.

Any ideas?

Got the same thing compiling beta 11 on SunOS 4.1.3. My solution was to
recompile using the latest gcc. The error is a variable dereference
error that is essentially saying that you got a bug during compile time.
The latest gcc is free and downloadable, but save some time to compile
that, it could take a couple hours cpu time.

I have run ckconfig, and it verifies the location of my files.

Here is what I have found works:
/etc/ftphosts - Changes to this file works
/etc/ftpusers - Changes here take place right away

However, in /etc/ftpaccess, so far the only thing that works is the
'classes' command. I know this because when I make a change, and run
ftpwho, it lists the classes I have defined in /etc/ftpaccess.

ftpwho itself though, while it does correctly show a list of classes,
doesn't show me how many people are logged in under each class, it just
shows 0 users all the time.

Any More clues -? ?????

Thanks,
Mike Farace

Jim, An earlier suggestion from a list member was:

You will either want to run the Mailing List version (which has this
problem fixed), or add forward declarations to ftpcmd.y along the lines
of:
extern struct tab sitetab[];
extern struct tab cmdtab[];
near the beginning of the file.

I went to the Beta 11 version and the above problem was solved. A new
problem with make and vers.o on Beta 11 was fixed by using GNU make.

I have been running Beta 11 on AIX 4.1.3 and 4.2 without any problems.

I believe you need to create a directory named pids in the same directory
as your ftpaccess file. In the pids directory create an empty file for
each class name used in the ftpaccesss file.

This is documented somewhere but I can't remember where.

Thanks, Jay. I had downloaded what I thought was the latest and it obviously wasn't. I bookmarked your URL and downloaded beta 12. It compiles just fine. Thanks a lot for the help.

Found it. Adding the -w makes it work very nicely. Thanks!

I had suggested to Stan that we optionally be able to configure
wu-ftpd to log in Common Log Format. I think they are considering this
for a future revision. However, I wonder if someone might have worked
with this previously. It would be useful to have, and to be able to use
the myriad of reporting tools available against a CLF logfile.

Would this be difficult/realistic to implement?

Thanks...

Subject: static linking under Solaris 5.5.1
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello All

Has anybody been able to get wu-ftpd and ls to compile with static
links instead of dynamic under Solaris 5.5.1? I am using SUNs
compilers and I know the flag to use (-dn) but there are now some .a
libraries with Solaris (libnsl.a) that use dynamic functions (dlclose
for one).

I believe this is done on purpose and is the beginning of a trend (see
http://www.wins.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2/Q6.24.html).

I have tryed moving the libraries into the chrooted /lib (/usr/lib is a
link) but am still having trouble with a dynamically linked ls.
Besides I WANT statically linked executables for this! I am not much
of a programer, if you know how to make this work please keep your
instructions simple enough for a novice.

Thanks Much
Steve Lee

<Has anybody been able to get wu-ftpd and ls to compile with static

First off, what is Solaris 5.5.1? The latest releases are Solaris 2.5.1
and Solaris 2.6. I don't know the one you mentioned.

Secondly I have the latest compiled using the GNU gcc (2.7.+) compiler.
You might want to change to that. If you do, you should add -mv8 to
the CFLAGS, if you are on an Ultra.

Doing the above, and using the installation script for Solaris that I posted
several days ago, to help the installation process, will give you a version
of wu-ftp that is operational.

HELP!

I've attempted to connect to three sites that were supposed to
contain the archives to this mailing list. Can anyone point me to an
active server that contains the mailing list archives?

Here's the problem that I'm looking for the solution to:

When I attempt to connect to our ftp server (v2.4.2b11), I enter a
username (or ftp) and immediately get the following message:

Connected to nitro.
220 nitro.avalon.nf.ca FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-11](1)
Fri Jan 17 17:13:53 EST 1997) ready.
Name (nitro:root): ftp
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection Login
failed.
No control connection for command: Transport endpoint is not
connected
ftp>

Can someone tell me what this error message means - it will greatly
help me in solving the problem if I can find out what the heck a
control connection is, and what a transport endpoint is.

Thanks for any help you can provide me. My FTP server is down and I
have almost a thousand members depending on it!

Sorry for jumping onto the list and posting what may be a simple
question, but I've looked high and low for answers on many other
mailing lists, newsgroups, and WWW search engines with no success.

At first glance, I'd say no.. then again ;-)
The way you log in xferlog is straight forward

xferlog = open(..)

..

if (xferlog) {

sprintf(msg, ...)

write(xferlog ,msg..)
}

..

it should be possible to modify the sprintf() to correspond to CLF

Unfortunatly I don't know much about CLF, any docs available ?

Solaris-2.5.1 is the same as SunOS-5.5.1

Browse the wu-ftpd archive, someone have already posted
a modified version of GNU ls to make it compile static.

Solaris does not provide the libdl.a so you have to
provide the dl*() stubs and link them with the executable
Check again in the solaris FAQ. Or browse the archive again
it's there .. somewhere.

If you lack the time to do all that browsing, then using `Vidiot'
script or doing man ftpd will be helpfull

There is also a patch(Jedi's patch) to compile ls internally
. sorry but I don't know the status see .. the archive ;-)

SunOS 2.5.1 is Solaris 5.5.1.
I do not yet have access to 2.6/5.6.

The machine I am setting up is a 20. I have no problem compiling, it is
only static compiles that fail. I do not believe the problem is the
compiler it is the library. How is gcc likely to deal with a .a
library that does dynamic calls? Would you be willing to do a quick
test? Try adding -static to your CFLAGS variable. If it compiles for
you I will be more than happy to install gcc.

I have just joined this mailing list. Could you email me a copy of

<He means SunOS 5.5.1, which is part of Solaris 2.5.1.

Ah, OK. Sun should never have started to Solaris naming scheme, as it has
cause more confusion (Solaris 1, Solaris 2, SunOS 4, SunOS 5, etc. :-)

Too true. I made a mistake myself with my last email. There was a
line that read:

SunOS 2.5.1 is Solaris 5.5.1.

It should have read:

SunOS 5.5.1 is Solaris 2.5.1.

And my subject line should have read:

Re: static linking under Solaris 2.5.1

or

I have been trying to compile wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-12 on a DEC running OSF1

I have deleted the part that reference FD_ZERO which contains the struct

What does FD_ZERO do and will it break anything if it is deleted?

Please reply directly as I'm not on the list. Thanks.

Ditto with my Linux box, running 2.0.28, gcc v2.7.2.1, and
libc-5.4.17.

Also, with beta12, the "hanging ftpds" have disappeared --
HURRAY! :-)

I've compiled and installed wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11 with very little
problems. I've setup a guestgroup in /etc/ftpaccess, with chroot
for real users, different DELETE, UPDATE and RENAME rights for real users
and anonymous, and all works great. Even ftp who tells me how many users
are in, in which classes.

Maybe am I not the firs to ask you this question : did you start the
daemon with the -a option ? It is required to use ftpaccess.

Hi Everyone

I know that this may sound like a strange question, but is there
anything that can be done to assist in transfers timeing out giving
the remote lost connections. I know that the ftpd can not sort out
Internet reponse times but thought there may be a way of giving it a
longer wait period or something.

I am using Linux 2.0.24

Thanks

Just add a #include "sys/time.h" after the #include list in ftpd.c.

Subject: DCE patch available
Content-Type: text
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

A co-worker and I has made a patch of 2.4.2 beta 12 that supports
DCE. It works *very* well - we've stress tested it for months on end
internally with 2.4.2 beta 11, and it's failed us not even once.

I'll be submitting it for consideration for 2.5 in a few days... but
wanted to ask for some testing input before I do so.

Specifically, we developed the DCE code on AIX machines... and see
no reason why it wouldn't build under other platforms with DCE
(ie Digital Unix, Solaris, etc..) but want to know for sure.

Our patch is relatively trivial - consists of modifying two makefiles
(at least, the AIX ones) and adding a -ldce for linking, and we add
a file named dce_pass.c to the dependencies consisting of the single
subroutine that does the username and password lookup... then we put
an #ifdef DCE in ftpd.c right after the password has crypt() applied
to it (actually, with DCE, we avoid use of crypt() ) that calls
dce_pass(passwd, username); and add a -DDCE to the CFLAGS.

We do have a daemon running that intercepts the various getpw* calls
and calls DCE internally, then returns data structures expected from
the getpw* calls for application compatibility with the standard Unix
password authentication routines - so why do we bother with the DCE patch?

Well, if that daemon dies, we're SOL. But as long as it can make direct
DCE calls, wu-ftpd will *never* fail to authenticate users.

I am also mulling a change that would provide seriously good performance
for *heavily* loaded servers with a lot of users (talking 50-100,000+ user
base) that does direct DCE calls.

Anyway, if you want to test DCEified wu-ftpd, please let me know what
OS, OS version, and DCE vendor - and I'll send you the patches (against
2.4.2 beta 12) or the tar file if preferred - and want to hear how well
they work for you.

Just wanted to reduce some of the testing/porting/platform issues for
Barber & Co. before sending patch in ;-)

I wrote a mail to that mailinglist wu-ftpd, but unfourtunaly I was not on
the list by myself anymore :(
So I didn't see any answers to my problem...If there were any answers at
all :)
Could anyone tell me where I can find the replys ? Or could someone send
them to me via email ?
I repost my request so, that you know what the hell I am talking about :)

So long,

Subject: ftp-access ignored ?

Hello,

I'm running wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta11 on an AIX3.2.5 and with some patches
everything seemed to work fine.
I wrote in my ftpaccess-file:

passwd-check trivial enforce

but I can type even nothing at all, and I get logged in as an
anonymous-user :(

I made the folling permissions:

chmod no anonymous
delete no anonymous
rename no anonymous

but I can chmod, delete and rename files as an anonymous user...

What went wrong ? Has anyone an idea ?

So long and thanx for all the fish,

Yes, I am running with -a. The ftpaccess in the example directory isn't
enough. Is it possible for someone to e-mail me their ftpaccess flle
directly??? Please?

Also, one of the other people who responded mentioned about having to
create a 'pids' sub-directory, under the directory where the ftpaccess
file is. Is this correct? Is this different then the file that the
'ckconfig' program checks for? But then it looks like it is checking
for a file, not a directory...

Would it be a problem to put on this list, or in the FAQ actual working
examples from someone's site the ftpaccess, ftphosts, etc files? I
don't see how this would be a security issue...

Any and all help greatly appreciated,

Also, if anyone is in the San Jose, CA area, Lobster lunch on me if you
can sit down and explain this too me! I am dead serious!!

Im running wuftpd 2.4 generic. I would like to let the client know
that I can't accept any more data during the transfer of data using
the STOR. When ever I breakout of the read loop and send an reply()
of just about anything 226, 250, 553 etc the whole connection closes
with the serve sending a 221. Is there a way to nicely tell the
client that I can't accept any more data for this upload, but keep
the interactive session open so the client can get the message that
there was a problem with the upload but can continue other
operations.

Thanks for any help

> > : FTP?

The easy answer is: define ANON_ONLY in config.h. But this seems a bit of
a kludge. The ftpaccess file defines a "real" keyword. And it's possible
to limit the number of users by class. Hence it should be possible to lim-
it the number of real users to zero, and to, say, output a message saying
that the server is anonymous-only if any real users try to log in.

In other words, the ftpaccess file appears to provide a way of disallowing
real users, without having to resort to a recompile.

Yet it doesn't work this way, in practice.

Anybody know why offhand?

X-Help: I am being held captive against my will.

I'm trying to make an anonymous ftp area for a client so people can upload
directories and files for him. Everything seems to be working fine for
files, but directories aren't being chown-ed properly. Here's the lines from
my /etc/ftpaccess file:

upload /home/ftp * no
upload /home/ftp /hidden/username yes username group 0666 dirs
upload /home/ftp /hidden/username/* yes username group 0666 dirs

This should only allow anonymous users to create files and directories in
/hidden/username, with "username" and "group" as the user and group
ownership, and give the files 0666 permissions.

The file part of it is fine. However, the directories are being made with
"ftp" as the owner (that's what the daemon is running as) which means that
the client ("username") can't delete them. And since the directories are
being made 0755 (as per the -u022 umask on the command line) "username"
can't delete the files within the directory. (Though, he could overwrite
them with 0-length files, but that doesn't help much.)

Is there a chown() call missing?

This is 2.4.2-beta-11 on BSDI.

Hello,

Please let me know if this is not the place to post this and apology in
advance.

When compiling wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 12 using HP's Ansi C compiler I got
complaints about the realpath declaration in extensions.c:

cc: "extensions.c", line 104: error 1711: Inconsistent parameter list

*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

Solution:

I just tried, and got the identical problem. None of the links I tried
on that page would return any data, either, so I think it is a problem at
the server end, not yours. Looks like the table of contents has been
built incorrectly.

I believe the list is also archived at ftp.celestial.com, in
pub/mailing-lists/yymm/wu-ftp...
where "yymm" are digits for the year and month.

I hope this helps !

Cheers, Bob

Hello, again :-)

(Thanks Bob, I'm tryin gcelestial now :-)

Using beta-11 on Solaris 2.5.1
Have set up anon ftp to chroot correctly.
Cannot get guestgroup user to chroot but chdir works fine.

My entry in /etc/passwd looks like:

ftpguest:x:54321:200:FTP GuestAccount:/home/ftp/./pub/:/bin/false

where "200" is defined in /etc/group (both copies) as webpub

My entry in the /etc/ftpaccess file looks like:

guestgroup webpub

What am I missing?? Thanks in advance!

Well, set it up as such and it will work:

class users real *
limit users 0 Any /etc/local/ftpd/ftpmsgs/real_users

Hope this helps,

Okay, now I feel really silly; yes, I had the -a flag set, but
not as an argument to the executable that was being invoked (that is,
it was in the wrong column).

Thanks to the archives, I was able to spot this :-)

Well there is a buffer overflow problem in ftpd_popen()
for exemple if you try

site exec 'a a a a a a a a a a ....'

where the number of 'a's goes over 100 the server will SIGVEC.

However you should watch that the SIGVEC is not on you ftp client
some clients uses gets() or similar to handle arguments, or
a misconfiguration os SITE EXEC.

Simply trace(1) the server and see if it's crashing.

I included below a patch for beta-12 ... I think beta-13
will be immune.

If the server still crash after that, you should investigate furter
keep me posted

To apply,
cd wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-12/src; patch < patch_file

hi,

I am in the process of setting up a web page upload machine for
my web client to upload their homepage without actually ftp to the web
machine. I am using NFS mount.

Now i am trying to see is there possible to chroot for each
user in wuftpd 2.4 so that they can't look at others people's web
page directory and downloading it.

I have went thro the faq, unfortunately i am having problem
look at the archive of this list. So, if there is any solutiuon,
please email me, Thanx.

rgds,
sc khoo

A while back there was a lot of mail about using links to set up the
etc, bin, dev, lib areas for chrooted users instead of making
individual copies for each user. If someone was able to use links
could you send in what type of link you used and how you set it up.
I tried some simple stuff using symbolic links under IRIX6.2, but I
dont think I set the link up correctly. I wasn't able to view the
linked directories. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. Actually, I used a setup precisely equivalent to this one,
and it didn't work. But that was a patchlevel or two ago. Have any
bugs been fixed?

Use hard links; symlinks work as logical, not physical pointers so they
won't be valid in a chrooted environment. Hardlinks are valid within a
filesystem, regardless of whether you've chrooted your user. You might
have to make one copy of these files to get them in the right filesystem.

Also, remember that you can't hard link an entire directory as you can do
with symlinks; you'll need to create actual directories under each
prospective root, and hardlink the individual files within those
directories.

See the guest how-to for more details.

I added this mod to my version of the beta 12 source and the signal 10 and
signal 11 errors in my logs went away. It's been running a full day with no
such errors, after having a few hundred per day before that.

Hello,

Is it possible to download a static version of ls for Solaris 2.5 from
somewhere? I have tried without success to get the dynamic version working
(I combed the Dec/Jan archives, the guest-howto and the faq and seem to
have ended up in the same place as [email protected]).

I've tried compiling a static-l from the gnu fileutils (v3.13) with the
patch posted here applied but get a bunch of ldd errors at link time.

I'm in the process of downloading and building gnu gcc v2.7.2.1 but
in the meantime, I NEED to get wu-ftpd up and working for anon and
guestgroup users! :-)

In return, I promise to provide a complete HOWTO document for Solaris
2.5.x :-) for wu-ftpd, anon and guestgroup setup and make it available via
the web. Hopefully so the next person doesn't have to spend two days
piecing all the info together from various sources :-)

Thanks so much!

Cheers,
Darci Chapman ([email protected])

All I could find was wu-ftpd 2.4 from ftp.wustl.edu and the README says
no more development is being made.

I see messages in this list referring to Beta 10 and Beta 11. What are
these and where can I get them ? (Are they in the academ directory ?
What are the differences between the academ version and the 2.4 version ?)

Thank you

Subject: Help with Passive FTP
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I just installed wu-ftpd 2.4 onto a Solaris 2.5.1 box.

I'm trying to get passive ftp to work.

All I get is connected with no listing of the contents.

I read the faq and set the correct ~ftp/dev entries, but this
didn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

-Joe

I don't get it. I compiled with GNU 2.7.2 under Solaris 2.5.1 on a Ultra 140.
The ls command functions as expected. I just discovered yesterday that the
dir command does not work and have to find out why. Maybe it is the dir
command that needs the static compile, while ls doesn't.

I'm confused.

Sorry about not being specific - I've been staring it for too long, I
think :-)

"ls" works fine; dir does not map the gid/uid numbers to the names. I'm
in touch with someone who has got the dynamic version of ls working (and
I'm assuming dir, but maybe not? :-) I will summarize here (so feel free
to keep sending suggestions/pointers). Thanks to everyone who has sent
them so far!

Cheers,

Subject: my hp/ux 10.01 10.20 builds of beta 12
Mime-Version: 1.0

[also mailed to [email protected]]

I've gotten modified versions of beta 12 to build on HP/UX 10.01 and 10.20.

For various reasons, I first did 10.20 then back ported to 10.01.

In both cases I'm running with trusted systems/shadow passwords, which adds
some complications.

I modified the bigcrypt patches from the FAQ to piggyback on the SECUREOSF
code, since HP "Trusted Sustems" are based on a similar base of code from
"Secureware".

I don't claim these are the minimal patches needed to make it run; this is
just what worked for me.

The choice of some things like: config file and install paths, default
umask, syslog facility are purely local decisions.

Rather that use the .hpx files I created a new set of .cus files based on
them for my "custom" config.

Here are the source file diffs for 10.20:

Hmm .. http://www.mds.mdh.se/~cel95eig/
or if you could download binary directly:
http://www.mds.mdh.se/~cel95eig/ls-static
(why you should trust this binary? .. I'd say no .. don't trust any binary
that you haven't make'd!! But I'll give you this one anyway, 'cause I use
it myself .. :-)
If you can't download it from there .. mail me and I'll uuencode it and
send it by email to you ..

Hmmm .. could you mail me the output when you try to mak it?
(with what linker/compiler you use!)

Cool, I'll think I can mirror that one (when I finally get my page back up

Hi
I have heard from a friend (he is subscribed to this list, but I'm not)
that there has been a few messages lately related to the problems about
creating subdirectories under an upload directory. Right now, it doesn't
matter if you specify owner and group in the ftpaccess file, with
subdirectory creation it won't work (at least with the last version I
have found, 2.4.2-beta-12).
I suffered this problem almost a year ago, because I was programming
some custom stuff on my linux box, and I needed the subdirectories to be
created correctly. So I made a dirty patch to get it solved (the patch
I include in the email). At that time I was using wu-ftpd version 2.4,
so I have added a couple of lines to make it work under 2.4.2-beta-12.
This patch has worked (with 2.4) for almost a year with no problems
at all. Under 2.4.2-beta-12 it apparently works, but I am not sure
(maybe it won't compile on some platforms, I just have access to sunOS
and linux). Anyway, I hope this helps to solve the problem.
Regards.
PS: by the way, as I am not on the list, would you people on the
wu-ftpd-list send me copy of the responses? (if I get any :-) )
Thanks

Hrmm, well i couldnt figure this part out. How do you set the default
umask to 333? I was told to make it 077 to be safer (so stuff is 700). But
i have no idea. What do i do? Is this systemwide or ftpwide?

hrmm.. any idea?

my ftpaccess has this line :

upload /home/ftp /incoming yes root daemon 0600 dirs

us the 0600 the umask? just change to 0333?

help! reply via private mail please.

Actually, I just completed a similar change to my 2.4(6) code base
here. My changes are a bit smaller, but they don't do many of the race
condition checks you are doing.

I'd be interested in knowing what race conditions you might see
resulting from my patch (attached below). I'd guess you're worried
about the name of the directory changing between the mkdir() call and
the chown() call. If that happens, the message is the mkdir succeeded
but the chown failed. How serious is this? Should I be worried?

Actually the problem isn't that the chmod() could fail, but probably
something more serious. Consider the following situation:

wu.ftpd evil user
------- ---------
mkdir ./foo
<--------------------
mkdir(./foo)
chown(./foo,XXX)
-------------------->
mkdir ./foo/passwd
<--------------------
mkdir(./foo/passwd) =20
-------------------->
# here we go, in a shell he/she does:
mv ./foo ./foo.OLD
ln -s /etc ./foo
<--------------------
chown(./foo/passwd,XXX)
-------------------->
vi /etc/passwd

This is just a silly example, because it would require the user to have
both shell access in the machine and write permission in the upload
directory. But I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people out there
willing to find examples better than mine }:-)

OK,
700 is fine if the files are owned by a trusted user account (trouble if the
user uploading them owns them though). Depends on what commands &
capabilities you are going to allow to ftp clients (by default the file will
be owned by the client I think, so they could upload an executable and run
it perhaps).

Use the -u flag in the ftpd command line options in inetd.conf eg
ftp stream tcp nowait root /local/sbin/in.tcpd
/whatever/in.ftpd -a -u133

the umask is ftpd wide! the mode is system wide obviously.
your ftpaccess upload directive looks fine

Hmm, you changed it from umask 033 to umask 133.

I want the most secure method.

Howdy,
Can wuftpd be set up to run stand alone instead of from inetd.conf.
Is there a place that describes the steps. I didn't see it in the FAQ
Thanks for any help

You can avoid the use of (x)inetd with tcpserver available from the
ucspi-tcp package. Check out http://pobox.com/~qmail

Great!

I've been following along loosly, but currently have too much on my plate

Please announce when the Sol2.5 FAQ is available.

Subject: all works except -d, -l, -L on Solaris 2.5.1
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Dear WUFTPD'ers,

With Beta 11 built with GCC on IRIX 6.2 all command line options work
fine. When I add -d, -l, -L options in inetd I get extra info in /var/adm/SYSLOG.

But on Solaris 2.5.1 system, same Beta 11 source and GCC version, I get
xferlog entries, and I get /var/adm/messages entries when errors occur,
like logon refused. My command line has -a -u options only.
When I add -d, -l, and -L options to the command line I do not get any
more info printed to messages. Still just get ftpd messages there when
errors occur. I have flipped back and forth several times to verify this,
making sure to signal inetd each time. Also have done this on two different
Solaris 2.5.1 systems as well. These servers have also been rebooted since
the options were added, still no output.

Can anyone think of any reason since it knows where /var/adm/messages
is for sure, why it wouldnt put out the -d, -l, or -L info there when requested?
Any differences in the way this extra output is handled from the way error
messages are?

Thanx,
Roger Hanke

I left Sterling last June for consulting's greener pastures and it
appears they have finally dropped my mail forwarding and have things
on autopilot. As I was the person who was babysitting those systems...

I have built a new hypermail archive on my site and it's working like
a champ. I have a seemingly complete copy of the list traffic that is
even more complete than what I had on Sterling. (Thanks Bill.) The
archive starts in June 1994 and goes through the present. I have
created the hypermail version of the archive and have put a search
engine behind it. You can now do full text searches against the
archive. Here's the info.

The hypermail WU-FTPD Mail archives are at

http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/mail-archive

and are accessible via http and ftp. A search page is at

http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/mail-archive/search.html

although a search form is also on the main page. I have sent Koos a request
to change the FAQ. I'll send Sterling a request to clean it up or mirror mine
as they are with the Moderators archive.

Enjoy.

If I remember correctly (and if I don't, hopefully someone will correct
me :-) ), under Solaris syslog output is handled by the syslogd daemon,
which must be running. The output, and the files it writes to are controlled
by the configuration file "/etc/syslog.conf".

So you need to make sure your /etc/syslog.conf file is configured
appropriately, to write the correct type of log messages to the desired
file. 'fraid I can't recommend settings off the top of my head; just
check the syslogd man page and experiment util you get what you want.
You'll need to force syslogd to reread the config file each time you
change it - I think this can be done by sending it the HUP signal.

Hope this helps !

Cheers, Bob

I think I understand this, but I'm still not sure I see the threat.
Perhaps I'm being dense, or maybe just not paranoid enough. ;-)

If the user is chroot'd into their own area, and they edit the
/etc/passwd file (which is a copy containing only the ID's necessary
for anonymous FTP), what have they accomplished. My understanding is
that the passwd file in ~ftp/etc/ is not used by any program other than
~ftp/bin/ls. Editing ~ftp/etc/passwd shouldn't have any more effect
than making the 'dir' command return strange usernames.

Is the ~ftp/etc/passwd file used for more than just the output of 'ls'?
If so, for what?

Of course, you could be using ~ftp/etc/passwd as an example, meaning
that any file in the ftp area is vulnerable. On this, I agree. The
moment you allow uploads of any kind, you have created a vulnerability.
The only questions now is how vulnerable do you want to allow your system
to be? And is there a way to reduce that vulnerability while still
providing the functionality necessary?

Here's some more ideas:

On many (most?) implementations of inetd there is a limit on the number
of arguments that can be passed to a program running under inetd.

I think I ran into this sooner because I was using tcp_wrappers too
and it "used up" one argument. Try putting -u first and last and see if the
umask changes, if it does you will know you are dropping arguments.

I eventually wound up using this wrapper program to pass all
the arguments I needed:
= = =
/* wrapper for wuftpd to add command line arguments
that don't fit under inetd */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <syslog.h>

int main(argc,argv)
int argc;
char **argv;
{
char *path="/local-adm/bin/ftpd";
char *cmd="ftpd";

fflush(stderr);
fflush(stdout);
errno=0;
execl(path,cmd,"-a","-l","-L","-u022","-t600","-T1200",NULL);

openlog("wrapftpd",LOG_PID, LOG_LOCAL6);
syslog(LOG_WARNING,(const char *)strerror(errno));
closelog();
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

}

= = =
(The use of syslog to signal if exec failed is just a refinement;
the execl is really all you need.)

I compiled _this_ and ran it under inetd and tcp_wrappers (with
no arguments.)

Other possible argument "gotchas":
- wu ftpd doesn't seem to like a space between a option and its
value.
- misconfiguation of tcp_wrappers can lose arguments; run tcpdchk to test.
