Bob is right, although more complex configuration are certainly available,
the following lines added to the /etc/syslog.conf file suffice to log
all 'info' messages (ie, connections & timeouts)

#

Other related entries are 'daemon.notice' to logs to /var/adm/messages by default,
and 'daemon.err' that sends messages to the operator.

Subject: guests and bin directory
Mime-Version: 1.0
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello,

I am configuring wu-ftp v2.4 for the first time, on a DecUnix 3.2a system, and
I am setting up guest user access.

One thing doesn't work like I expected. I thought guest users, like anonymous
users, would require a local bin and etc directory because of the chroot()
environment. But I seem to be able to connect fine without those, and the
user can do an ls for example (although not an "ls -l"). Everything else
appears to be working properly.

Is this the way it should work?

Thank you,
Elaine Lolos

I've been using previous version of wu-ftpd without a hitch on a SunOS
4.1.3 machine. Unfortunately, this machine recently took a turn for the
worse, and as a result we re-installed /upgraded the OS to Solaris 2.5.1.

I successfully compiled the latest version of wu-ftpd (beta12). I've
double checked the line in my inetd.conf and all the flags seem to be in
place. I've run ckconfig and it returns with no errors. And with all
this, wu-ftpd still does not recognize any of the settings in my ftpaccess
file.

At this point, I'm primarily concerned that only anonymous users have
access to the server and have delete access. When I try to login as a
valid user I get the following from the server:

530 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
Login failed.

I've also double checked my config.h to make sure that it says the
ANON_ONLY is disabled (#undef ANON_ONLY).

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Ken

Yes. This can be done, but you will have to complete the setup for
anonymous FTP for each web area. That is, each client's web page area
will require the /bin, /etc, and /dev directories with the setup files
as described in the manual pages for anonymous FTP.

This being done, you set the home directory for the user to be the
actual location of their FTP area. For example, if your client's files
are located at /usr/local/httpdocs/client1, then the home directory for
that user would be: '/usr/local/httpdocs/client1/./'. The extra stuff
at the end of that path causes WU-FTP to chroot() to the path on the left
side of that marker, and the chdir() to the path on the right, in this
case null, or '/'.

I also am having the same problem. I tried to do a link from their

Let me know if you come up with something

Indeed. Beta 12 seemed to cure the hanging ftpds for anonymous
processes. However I still get an occasinal user hung ftpd,
typically in a LIST or STOR state.

Typically the connection is broken due to network difficulties
between 'here' and 'there'.

BSDI 2.0 soon to be 2.1.

Of course, /etc/passwd was just an example. It could be any other file,
and not only on the ftp area, but in the whole filesystem where the ftp
is located, because the "evil user" could have done a hard link on the
file instead of a symlink on the directory:

ftpd evil user
---- ---------
mkdir foo1
mkdir foo2
ln /etc/passwd foo1/passwd
ftp> mkdir foo2/passwd
mkdir(foo2/passwd)
mv foo2 foo0
mv foo1 foo2
chown(foo2/passwd,XXX)
vi /etc/passwd

And this time it's the real /etc/passwd the one to get compromised.
As I told on my last email, I just can think of a couple of useless
examples, but there is a legion of "evil users" out there in the
internet who will be very happy with their new toy :-)

I don't quite agree. If the program is well designed and written, and
the system is well configured, why should there be a vulnerability?

My opinion is that security must be a first order concern in any system.
The worst "loss of functionality" happens when someone decides to remove
every single file in your disks just because you had forgot to fix "that
stupid security hole". I have seen that a couple of times, believe it or
not. And anyway, in this specific case, trying to write the code in a
more secure way does not cause any side problem (at least in the user, I
am not considering the headaches in the programmer). I mean, you can
still make your subdirectories, can't you?

Subject: Problem with ls in Digital Unix 3.2

Hello,
I have installed wu-ftd 2.4 on an Alpha Station 600 - Digital Unix 3.2C,
following the installation instructions.
I wanted to install an anonymous ftp, and I faced 2 problems in using the
command "ls" :
The first one is, if the home directory of ftp is not owned by the user ftp,
"ls" returns nothing. I can change directory to "/pub" and there the "ls"
works again but not on "~ftp".
The second one is that "ls" doesn't understand the usual options like "ls -l".
Configuration :
I created a user ftp in a group guest, and I have used the heavy version of
the ftpaccess file given in example.
The xferlog works for outside connexions.
I have copy the "/etc/sia" subdirectory in "~ftp/etc", which is required for
Digital Unix.

Thank you for the help.

I am running wu-ftp Version wu-2.4(5) and noticed that we are
reaching the maximium number of users because some ftp sessions are
no closing after the user disconnects. Is this a known problem in
this version of wu-ftp? Is there a workaround or fix? Thanks.

I'm setting up a FTP server for our system, and would like users to be able
to upload files. We're not providing any anonymous access to our system,
and have a custom authentication routine, which I have patched into the
beta-12 code.

What I want to do is restrict every user's access to their public_html
directory. Basically, they can upload and maintain files into that
directory, and can't even create directories.

If anyone has hacks or configurations that will do this, I'd gladly welcome
them

Matt

Thanks to all who responded. Everyone contributed a piece it turns out.

Yes on my Solaris 2.5.1 /etc/inetd.conf file only 4 arguments were being
recognized to wuftpd, the 5th one, -L, in my case was being ignored.

Yes all daemon.* entries were missing from /etc/syslog.conf on Solaris
2.5.1. Turns out by adding daemon.info and daemon.notice this just
resulted in three messages instead of one of types like:
ACCESS DENIED, FTP LOGIN REFUSED.
But took look at IRIX 6.2 syslog.conf file which had *.debug set. Once set
daemon.debug then I got what I was looking for, what I had been getting
on SGI right along, a full detailed description of entire ftp session.

Thanx again,
Roger Hanke

Bob is right, although more complex configuration are certainly available,
the following lines added to the /etc/syslog.conf file suffice to log
all 'info' messages (ie, connections & timeouts)

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

for instance, this are several entries written by my ftp server
>
>Jan 17 18:31:06 ###### ftpd[1630]: FTPD: connection from ***.***.** at \
> Fri Jan 17 18:31:06 1997

>

Other related entries are 'daemon.notice' to logs to /var/adm/messages by default,
and 'daemon.err' that sends messages to the operator.

Hello, again,

(Yes, I've got dynamic ls working on Solaris, I will update everyone as
soon as I have everything I need working :-)

I would like to set up a directory tree (ie, /home/top) so that several
users (user1, user2, user3, etc) have guest access to it (they're all
chrooted to /home/top), are chdir'ed to the next level (ie, junk1, junk2,
junk3, etc) and then use ftpaccess in conjunction with Unix file/directory
permissions to restrict upload access where user1 is a member of group1,
user2 in group2 and user3 in group3.

The upload part of my ftpaccess file looks like:

upload /home * no
upload /home/top /junk1 yes guest group1 0775 dirs
upload /home/top /junk2 yes guest group2 0775 dirs
upload /home/top /junk3 yes guest group3 0775 dirs

Yes, I want all files owned by yet another user that is not the original
user who uploaded the file, don't ask :-) I also want files/directories
group writable.

I have just applied Alvaro's patch to beta 11 and now have the following
behaviour:

Regardless of which user I am (user1, user2, or user3), directories
created are owned by guest/group3. The owner is correct, but the group is
always group3. If I move the "junk1/group1" upload line to the last line of
upload section, then all directories created are then owned by guest/group1.

Files uploaded however, show the expected behaviour, owned by guest and
the group as specified by the upload line...

Help? Should I be using beta-12 instead? :-)

Cheers,
Darci Chapman ([email protected])

Hello,

I just discovered I've made a wrong assumption (not unusual :-).

For things like the "rm" and "del" commands, wu-ftp is NOT adhering to
the Unix file permissions. For example, even when I exlicitly set files
and directories to be not group writable and not owned by that guestgroup
user, under wu-ftpd that guestgroup user can delete these files and
directories because they have explicit upload permissions from the ftpaccess
file.

Is this observation correct? Is this desirable?

Hi all,

I use wu_ftpd 2.4 on my linux 2.0 machine.
When I conncect the server, ls -l shows a different file update time (6 hours advance).
For example, if the update time is Feb 3 14:00, ls -l from the ftp client shows Feb 3 20:00.
Does anybody know why and how to fix this???

Thank you in advance.

Check the FAQ... I just went through this exercise this weekend. It
is most likely that ftp doesn't know what time zone it is in. You
need to make sure that when ftp connects, it can figure out the
appropriate time zone from the files relative to ~ftp.

I don't think so, given a lot of the things it does while in passive

Well, this is weird. I am using a very similar configuration in the server
I had to make the patch for. These are a few lines (I have a lot of upload
rules):

upload /home/company * no
upload /home/company /main yes company admin 0664 nodir=

upload /home/company /sport no nodir=

That sounds terrible. I've been working with that configuration for
a lot of time with no problems at all (but the version of wu-ftpd I've
been using is rather old). I don't know, maybe the patch doesn't work
properly with a so newer version. I'll take a look at the sources to see
if I can find anything.

I modified my wu-ftpd to allow 2 new tags, :user: and :group: to be used
in the place of the user and group name on an upload line. These tags
let you set the user and/or group for uploaded files to be the same as
the directory they're being uploaded to.

That means 1 rule takes care of my entire ftp tree with a thousand or so
incoming directories. I force the upload permissions to 0600 for
security reasons; that way no one can download files once uploaded, so it
keeps the pirates away.

I sent in these patches around 2.4.2beta9 but they must have been lost in
the shuffle. If they are of general use I'll prepare diffs and send them
in again. The changes are really quite trivial.

Here's the scoop:
linux 2.0.28
libc-5.3.12
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11 -or-
wu-ftpd-2.4(1)

When using wu.ftpd-2.4(1) my guest accounts chroot() to the right place
and things are pretty good, working as expected.

No other changes, just doing a 'build lnx' after applied dirent fix and
then install. ftp into account, cd / and now I have access to the full
server directory structure.

Now, my question: Why does the old ftpd work and the new ftpd doesn't?

Any clues?

Thanks
Greg

Actually, you are using an old beta. The latest beta is 12. Beta 11 does
not work on linux 2.X kernels. Beta-12 does.

Probably, but not without some change to the src code.
Non-anonymous will not work, the server would not be able to
reset is uid.
So for anonymous without UPLOADING, PASV on ports > 1024
get rid of all the setuid(0), ... it should work ;-)

In brief, get rid of all the fun part and it should be fine ;-)

I don't believe that I have seen this one before, and I'm not sure that
it's easily possible.
Does anyone know of a way to refuse anonymous access directed to a
particular virtual server while leaving anonymous access open to other
servers?
Thanks.

I'd be interested in seeing the patch. I'm still using 2.4, but would
be interested in the behavior you've created.

Hi!

I've made a patch (check the attachment) for Beta12 that some of you might
find interesting. So far it is working ok.

When the client ask for PASV, the server must bind to a port and wait the
connection from the client. With the original code, the port would randomly
selected. This patch makes the ftpd bind to a port in a certain range
(defined at compile time for now).

What's the benefit? Basically I only have to open a certain range of ports
in my firewall to allow PASV mode to work.

If you find anything wrong with this patch, please let me know.

Thanks!

Melo

PS: the patch is to the file src/ftpd.c in beta12.
PS2: to change the range of port numbers you want, change PASSIVE_BASE
(base port) and PASSIVE_SPAN (number of ports to open). In my patch, I

open 500 ports from 3000 to 3499

Hi,

I just set up wu-ftpd and after playing around with some access
restrictions I got it to accept/reject users as I want it to, but now I get
following error when submitting commands like "ls" or "get xy", with xy
being an existing file:

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

What does that mean?
It must have to do with the access restrictions, since it only happens to
guest-users. To debug it a little bit further, I took a real (none-root)
user and it worked. Then I gave him the chroot-home dir (/home/./bg) and it
worked, too. Finally, I put him into a guest group, which caused the error
to occur.

At first glance, sounds like a good idea. But I'm unclear what the point
is. If you only open 500 ports instead of 65536 (or whatever), then only
500 hackers can break into/out of your site at one time?

1. When somebody logs guestuser into my virtual server or my

2. When somebody connects to my virtual server the operations
take forever to execute.

Also, Is there a way to make ls respond to dir. When I type

Help,

Funny you should mention this as I just went through this little goody
earlier this week. The permissions of ~ftp/dev were wrong so that the
chroot'ed program couldn't open /dev/socksys (on an SCO system).

I wrote earlier about a problem with ws_ftp access to my wu-ftpd servers.
On my console I get the message:
ls: cannot find file /usr/lib/ld.so.1
However, I have ld.so.1 located in:
/usr/lib/
~ftp/usr/lib

What's wrong... Also, just again - Why does my virtual server run so slow?

:)

My ideia is that I have some ports above 1024 open (solaris stuff) that I
dont want to make available. And I also want to make PASV ftp work. So, I
choose a range of ports that are not being used by any service and open
those in the firewall.

The range of ports you open should be unused.

:-)
I think Karl, that the advantage is when you have a firewall.
So you can open a specific range of ports in your firewall
for FTP.

The problem that I can think of is; if the range is too small
the ports may be easily guessable. So an attacker can steal
the port before the legitimate client, since there is no
authentication for the PASV nor the PORT command.

Hello,

I'm having problems with implementing s/key with version wu-ftpd-2.4 running
solaris 2.5.1 . I was able to compile just fine with no errors.

The problem is I'm unable to do any put's logging in as anonymous or as another
user. Get's appear to work OK. I used the ftpd.c file along with libskey.a from
bellcore.com that I used successfully with the previus version wu-ftpd-2.1c. Any
help would be appreciated, I will summarize.

thanks and regards,

In the ftpaccess file, there are permission attributes such as DELETE,
CHMOD, RENAME.

Is there a hack to allow me to apply these to various groups rather than
the three types (REAL, GUEST, ANONYMOUS). We have a downlaod area that is
managed as a guest area. On the same server we have an upload area for
our web developers. Both are chrooted, guest-type areas. We don't want
the download area folks to be able to do anything but downlaod. But the
web developers may need to be able to rename or delete. (Note that they
aren't uploading directly to our site, but rather to a "holding area")

The docs say that the permission attributes such as DELETE etc can be
applied to "types". Is there a way to apply them to groups?

Not quite. If you use PARANOID, it already deals with that. He only allows
connections from the same IP address as the control sockect.

Subject: Working: "dir" for Solaris 2.5.x
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I got "dir" working with a dynamic version of "ls" late last week. I had
two problems:

I'm guessing that the symbolic link for ~ftp/usr/lib->~ftp/lib was
a no-no and then when I started from scratch at one point :-), I missed
libmp.so

Here's what works for me:

/ libdl.so.1* libsocket.so* nss_nis.so.1*
./ libintl.so* libsocket.so.1* nss_nisplus.so.1*
ld.so* libintl.so.1* libw.so* straddr.so*
ld.so.1* libmp.so* libw.so.1* straddr.so.2*
libc.so* libmp.so.1* locale/
libc.so.1* libnsl.so* nss_dns.so.1*
libdl.so* libnsl.so.1* nss_files.so.1*

I haven't found the need for "zoneinfo" - the correct files in "locale"
seem to cover the date/time stamp issues.

I'm in the middle of documenting this and other Solaris tidbits for both
my client and for the wu-ftpd users at large; keep an eye out on the list
for an announcement :-)

I want to thank everyone who helped me with this problem! There are some
very helpful people on this list!

I'm still interested in being able to compile a static version of "ls"
for Solaris (so that I can document it) and a working patch for mkdir,
so please, keep me posted either directly or through the mailing list.

All of this is for beta 11; I'll be testing beta 12 soon (sigh :-)

Cheers,
Darci Chapman ([email protected])

Hello:

Excuse me if my question is inappropiate here, but I read the faq and
I did not found an answer.

I am trying to compile wu-ftpd-2.4 in a SUN Sparcstation 4 under Solaris 2.5,
using gcc 2.7.2. I followed the instruccion in the README file but I
got the following warnings.

My questions is How severe this warning are? Can I ignore them or there is
a way to solve them.

To quote you .. "not quite"
1-
PARANOID doesn't deal with IP checking
it disallows some questionnable practice of wu-ftpd (rename,
site exec, overwrite etc...). Check the source code again
2-
the new betas-xx(since *Hobbit* fixes) restrict the PORT
command to port > 1024 and #IP to be the same as the client.
Althought this violates the spirit of rfc959 and a some
ftp clients. Nothing to do with PARANOID
3-
There is no restriction on the PASV directive.
except from your patch.

Althought checking PORT seems to stop ftp bounce attacks
It doesn't do anything about stealing ports. There is
an IETF-draft on the work about the client and the server
exchanging cookies for authentication.

What is to document?

This info is in the solaris man page for ftpd...(man ftpd)

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

ld.so*
libc.so*
libdl.so*
libintl.so*
libw.so*
libnsl.so*
libsocket.so*
nss_nis.so*
nss_nisplus.so*
nss_dns.so*
nss_files.so*
straddr.so*

cp /usr/lib/ld.so /usr/lib/ld.so.1 ${ftphome}/usr/lib

for lib in libc libdl libintl libw libnsl libsocket \
nss_nis nss_nisplus nss_dns nss_files
do
cp /usr/lib/${lib}.so.1 ${ftphome}/usr/lib
rm -f ${ftphome}/usr/lib/${lib}.so
ln -s ./${lib}.so.1 ${ftphome}/usr/lib/${lib}.so
done
cp /usr/lib/straddr.so.2 ${ftphome}/usr/lib
rm -f ${ftphome}/usr/lib/straddr.so

ln -s ./straddr.so.2 ${ftphome}/usr/lib/straddr.so

I hope that helps,

The list above did not work for me. Go figure. The list I posted did.
That and the fact that other people have reported the same problem
that I did even after following the instructions on the man page.
Specifically, I needed a copy of libmp.so before the user/group names
would show up correctly. I'm also gathering up other Solaris 2.5.x related
into (ie, the recent discussion regarding the needed /etc/syslog.conf
entries to get logging fully enabled).

right, but if you had looked at the script that i posted (that is also
in the man page) you would have noticed the ln -s of the .so files to
the .1 files....that is the key part to making it work...

great! i'm sure that it would provide a valuable resource, except, you
should just submit that info to the FAQ page owner so that people do not
have to go around to yet another different place looking for the
information that should just belong in the faq...

thanks!

That's what the man page says. However, I could not get mine
to work unless I added libmp.so* which was not in the map page.

One difference I can see, is that I'm running Solaris 2.4. Another
might be that for the FTP area, I'm using the 'ls' command supplied with
Solaris. I don't use the GNU version in ~ftp/bin. Could those account
for the fact that my ~ftp/bin/ls shows user/group names, and your's
doesn't without libmp.so?

If you run Linux, get the wu-ftpd with pam patches available at
ftp://ftp.redhat.com and, and the pam stuff from there, and use the
secureId pam support.

I'm using the dynamically linked "ls" that comes with Solaris 2.5.1 so
I think something must have changed between 2.4 and 2.5 :-)

I have not been able to successfully compile a static version of the GNU
ls on Solaris (with or without Emil's static-ls patch; I emailed him
copies of both outputs from my patch and compile/link attempts.)

There's something strange going on here. Yanni's (Sun's) list works fine for
me; I don't need libmp.so to get the names displayed. But Darci also said
she found she didn't need the zoneinfo stuff to get the times to display
correctly for anonymous users, whereas I do...

Darci, when you put the documentation together (which I'm sure will be
much appreciated by future Solaris users), can you mention that different
peoples' mileage seems to vary ?

Cheers, Bob

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

Darci,
To be completely honest, I never even tried combining options.
I had copied from some examples that had the options listed out
separately. Since I had never gone in the code to see what kind of
parsing was supported I had always played it safe. So my command
line is now -a -u007 -d -l -L and that is what I meant by 5 command line
args.

Now having got that out of my system. Was concerned that noone else
on the list even mentioned this. This would sure seem like a good
alternative to wrapping wuftpd just to get more args in. So tested it
out by combining the args on both Solaris and IRIX and walla, got all
5 args on command line now using -adlLu007. So you were not
imagining ;-)
Thanx,
Roger

Roger,

Thanks for posting this to the list; I needed it :-) If you have a moment,
could you elaborate on the follwoing:

> Yes on my Solaris 2.5.1 /etc/inetd.conf file only 4 arguments were being
> recognized to wuftpd, the 5th one, -L, in my case was being ignored.

I haven't experienced this particular "feature" :-) I once had:

wuftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/ftpd ftpd -laiou113

and that seemed to work. I've since turned off the umask option, so maybe
I imagined it?

Just curious. Thanks!

Hi,

I am looking for a tool which can tell me how far through
a transfer a given process is.

ftpwho can tell me the pid of current processes, but not much more.

(Is that because it was not built with SETPROCTITLE - I see from
the man page that it's not much use without. I can't remember
how it was built actually. Would it give me the info I want
if it _was_ built in this way?

Are there any other suitable tools for this purpose?

p.s. I am running the latest "pre-beta" version.

Thanks,
Mike.Ellwood

Humm... forgive me jumping in here, but I wonder if these different problems
may be specific to a processor type and/or patch level of the given systems.

I.E.. Yanni might have some combination of SUN jumbo patches that
Darci does not completely have, or some other odd mixture.

Or some extra portions of the kernel/system are excersised by different
combinations of hardware?

Ha HA!!.. I remember this. Somehow some old code has crept into the
rpc.inetd daemon. This was a problem on older AIX systems. Seems
like SUN hasn't fixed this either, or somehow some old code is back.

The inetd daemon itself was not parsing code the config file properly,
and was NOT passing ALL arguments specified in the file to the started
process.

Seems to me that I recall discussions on this on some other discussion
group long ago. Funny how things keep coming back around.

Nope...I have a straight copy of b12.

Strange thing on my end is that now I can't get logging to work at all
but ls, dir, all works fine after I added the libma.so. I'm trying to
use the -ladvL method of command line options with inetd.conf since sun
has that limitation and my syslog.conf file is configured correctly.

doh! I totally didn't read that right...sorry...

FYI, the patches that I have on the machine are the recommended solaris

:-)
I think you have it backward.
Wu-ftpd is a server not a client, I'm teasing ya :)

I believe what you looking for is a client that will connect
to a specific ftpd server(wu-ftpd or else) and retrieve file as
needed on the basis of size and timestamp.

If you don't need anything fancy nor big a combination of
at|cron and ncftp is enough.

But for the big duties, there is a perl script call ... 'mirror'
that can do it for you. I think the latest version is
mirror-2.8.tar.gz. I'm too lazy to dig up for the URL
but a search with your favorite engine should be enough

I had been thinking about this, too. My system, which works with the
standard libraries as recommended in Sun's man page, is as follows :-

% uname -sipmrv
SunOS 5.5 Generic sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-5

% showrev -p
No patches are installed

But I also wondered if we might be using different versions of ls, so I
checked - and I just discovered that the ls I have installed under
~ftp/bin was copied from /usr/ucb/ls, and not from /bin/ls as I had
previously thought. showrev -c and ldd show the library information
for this version as :-
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
while for the version under /bin/ls they show :-
libw.so.1 => /usr/lib/libw.so.1
libintl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libintl.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1

So I'm betting that this could be the difference. Perhaps Darci could try
using putting this version of ls in ~ftp/bin and see if the extra library
is still required...

It'd be good to get this mystery solved at last !

Cheers, Bob

*paf*. Yep, you're right... I though that PASV had the same checks that
PORT has... hmms.. Not that it would be difficult to had, though :).
If I ask for PASV, then only I should be allowed to bind to that port
anyway... Right?

hmms.. Yes, it breaks the spirit of the rfc but it should not break any
clients because they receive the port they should bind and wait there for
the ftpd to connect to them.

Yes, but if we restrict the IP of the client to the same one used on the
command sockect, does that break anything? I think not (although I should
check the RFC again... Weekend reading) and it would be a nice (although
not perfect) tool to prevent port stealing.

That would be a more eficient solution, but still open to sniffing.. But I
starting to go off topic... :)

In short and to summarize: The advantage of this patch is to restrict the
ports ued in PASV by the server to a more limited range, therefore making
it easier on the firewalls at the server site. This could make it easier to
do port stealing kind of attacks. This problem is only solved by a
modification on the protocol and therefore not a valid solution rigth now
(without breaking a lot of things). A patch to make ftpd only accept a PASV
connection if they come from the same IP address as the control sockect
could help minimize the risk. I'm not sure if that breaks anything in the
protocol spec, but I'll check this weekend.

Looking up group entries (for instance) goes through the name service
switch, so that involves /usr/lib/nss_*.so.1. If you do an ldd on, say,
/usr/lib/nss_files.so.1 on a 2.5.1 system, you'll see it has a dependency
on /usr/lib/libmp.so.1. On a 2.5 system however, /usr/lib/nss_files.so.1
doesn't have that dependency.

Evidently when that change was introduced in 2.5.1, no one at Sun thought
to update the ftpd man page to reflect that new dependency.

Ehm.. I was using beta 11 with Linux 2.0.0 through 2.0.28 before beta 12

Apart from this, I'm using the same stuff as Gregory and beta 12 (and 11)

Having suggested the difference in behaviour might be caused by my use of
/usr/ucb/ls instead of /bin/ls, I had then tested both and found no
difference (in terms of evaluating the names), so I had gone back
to being puzzled. This explanation clears up the mystery - thanks...

This should mean that libmp.so.1 is required only for 2.5.1 or later
(just summarising for Darci's documentation :-) ).

inetd.conf:

the Makefile for ftpd has -DDEBUG in it.

I'm getting download info in /usr/adm/xferlog without problems, but
nothing else is getting logged through syslog.

I have HUP'd the inetd daemon and the syslog daemon numerous times.

Any ideas?

Unless I'm missing something, ftpd.c calls <prot.h> which calls
<acl.h> which is is <sys/acl.h>
instead. Change in your /usr/include in reflect this change.

Of course, I could be totally wrong. This is compiling beta 12 with
the ./build dec build as opposed to ./build osf build. Why was that
change made, btw?

thanks

beta 11 and beta 12 worked fine for me as well. However the guestgroup
portion of it has problems. The problems are NOT there with 2.4(1). In
fact, if I install the 2.4.2-academ-beta12(1) binaries and do not change
any config files then the guestgroup/chroot breaks, but ftp itself works.

Anyone have any advice?

Greetings,
I've compiled wu-ftpd-2.4 under Solaris 2.4, and run it
in inetd.conf with no arguments.
When an anonymous user logs in and gives an incorrect password,
all ftp sessions lock up and the following error messages are displayed
in /var/adm/messages:

Feb 3 15:36:15 <host> ftpd[15352]: sleeping: fcntl lock of pid file failed:
Resource temporarily unavailable
Feb 3 15:36:15 <host> ftpd[15331]: sleeping: fcntl lock of pid file failed:
Resource temporarily unavailable
Feb 3 15:36:16 <host> ftpd[15352]: sleeping: fcntl lock of pid file failed:
Resource temporarily unavailable

Has anyone seen this before, and/or know what's going on?
It leaves behind several ftp processes that I have to manually kill
to stop the error messages.

"On the Flight Compression" occurs when you order tickets on certain
carriers who use special "dynamic compression payload adjusters" that
slowly squish packets into tiny little balls during long international
hops. By compressing the passeng.. uh, packets, greater throughput is
obtained on the long haul internation routes. Some carriers claim they
can fit twice as many packets into the same space!

Perhaps RFC 1149 is relevant here too.

As regards the "on the fly" compression that the original poster was wondering
about, did it work for "real" users and not for anonymous ones, or did it just
not work at all? If the former then I would suspect that something that the
utilities depend on is missing from the chroot()ed tree. If the latter then
perhaps the daemon's PATH might be relevant.

It would also be useful to know what kind of system is being used, as there
may be some particular quirk which someone on the list might know about.

In any case, if there's some way to trace the daemon's execution as it fails
to do the compression, then that might give some useful hints as to the

In a shoe what un-related theme - I'm running on Solaris 2.5 and 2.5.1
with wuftp2.4 and there are times that syslog just stops logging. I'm
not sure if it is getting over-run from my ftp stuff, or if there are
bugs in syslogd.

Anyone else see this behavior where syslog just simply stops logging?
For me, a simple stop and re-start fixes the problem, but no
indication as to why it stopped.

About the questions below, the compression is not working at all. I am
working with Solaris 2.4 on a Spark 1000 server. About PATH, gzip, compress
and tar are in the same directory ( ~ftp/usr/bin, linked to /bin) as ls,
wich is working fine. I am not sure about how starting the transfer with
compression. Would it be transfering, for exemple, TEST file as TEST.Z?

That's an odd setup -- 'daemon.debug' will also log stuff at higher
priorities, so /usr/adm/syslogs/daemon.debug will get all the stuff also
in /usr/adm/syslogs/daemon.info, for instance.

Install patch 103783-02, if you haven't already.

A generally helpful thing to try with syslog problems is to kill the
running syslogd, then start it again with the -d flag: if you run

# /usr/sbin/syslogd -d

then it will print out a verbose account of what it thinks it's doing.

You can also try

# logger -p daemon.info "Testing"

And see if anything appears in /usr/adm/syslog/daemon.info. Might
help determine if it is syslog or ftpd that is wacky...

I have this *really* strange problem using WU-FTPD 2.4.2-beta-12 when I try
to transfer files.

I can transfer files as root both ways no problem.

However, when I use normal (real) user, whenever I transfer a file, FTP
says that the file was transferred successfully, but upon inspection, the
source file was truncated, and the target file was never created.

Any ideas?

Having problems with anonymous ftp with wu-2.4-academ(2) on Solaris 2.5.1
(uname follows):
SunOS ftp.apk.net 5.5.1 Generic_103640-04 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1

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

I read the wu-ftpd FAQ regarding this, and it specified that the reason for
it dropping core when I do a 'chroot ~ftp /bin/ls' was /etc/group was
missing. The files passwd, group, netconfig and nsswitch.conf are in /etc
directory of ~ftp (albeit minimal). Solaris faq said wu-ftpd requires
ticlts in the /dev directory and libmp.so.1, both are there. I tried going
back to the Sun native in.ftpd... still doesn't work.

Any suggestions, before I just redo my root partition? I was working
originally and suddenly I'm getting the current error message.

Error messages in /var/log say:
Feb 2 03:50:41 junior.apk.net syslog: getpeername (ftpd): Broken pipe

I am new to wu-ftpd and have what is probably
a rather simple question.

I have just built, installed, and (partly) configured wu-ftpd-2.4
under Solaris 2.5. The machine on which it is running is our
virtual web server, and my intention is to have customers be
able to modify their own pages strictly by ftp, i.e., this
machine will have only ftp access.

How can I prevent users from changing out of their home
directory tree?

Thanks much,

Dunno if this will correct it... try setting the executeable flag on em.
Also check in the real /dev/ directory for the proper major and minor
numbers (can't hurt)

I've got a rather lengthy (and undocumented...) set of patches to the Academ
Consulting wu-ftpd 2.4-beta 11 that implements what I call "realms" so that
I don't have to duplicate the guest/anonymous file structure everywhere.
The patches basically allow me to "give away" access to a designated real
user to a "fake" FTP account. The home directory cannot be changed out of,
nor can any operations be performed that will access files outside of the
user's realm. The user can perform the normal set of file system
operations, as if the realm was a chrooted directory.

I had thought about letting this code out, but with all of the security
implications surrounding it, I decided to let someone else come up with
a better system. I'm not really keen on seeing my name in email messages as
the originator of another glaring security hole in wu-ftpd. The work is
also owned by the company I work for; they probably aren't interested in
giving it away. The work was performed under contract to a client.

Hi all,

I'm new to this list and I have a couple of simple questions. I have a sun
system running solaris 2.5.1. I want to set up secure ftp users, like
anonymous, but able to use their own login id. After researching, I found
that the ftpd that comes with solaris just doesn't have the capabilities I
want and that wu-ftp seems to be the way to go.

I downloaded wu-ftpd-2.4 from wuarchive.wustl.edu, but I was wondering if
there is a newer version. I was also wondering if there are any known bugs
or problems I should be looking out for. I searched thru the CERN archives
and only found 1 vulnerability for this version, are there any other
idiosyncracies I should know about? :-)

Thanks

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

I just finished installing wu-ftpd 2.4 on my Sun using Solaris 2.5. Everything
seems to be working fine except for the "ls" command. If I type "ls", it gives
me the contents of my directory. However, if I try to do "ls -l" or "dir", I
don't get anything. What I am doing wrong here? Any help on this would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Checked, double checked. Checked vs. other Solaris boxes, 2.5.1 which
wu-ftpd will work on. If it's a solaris problem then why is only anon ftp
being affected. I even reran ftp-anon script that's listed in the Solaris
FAQ (which is good enough to work with standard in.ftpd on any other
machine except this one). I'm starting to think there is system
corruption, but I can't find it. I deleted all the devices and mknod'ed
them manually again just to make sure. Could it be something in
/etc/system that I'm missing? Currently /etc/system is empty.

Where can I find the FAQ? I looked on wuarchive.wustl.edu but couldn't find

Sounds like a system corruption then. Though I can't imagine what it is.

Is this version stable? I tend to not get beta's because I don't know how
stable they are.

Greetings,
I had the same problem on Solaris 2.5 system.
Make sure the file system that contains the ftp tree is
*NOT* mounted nosuid in the vfstab.
^^^^^^
By default it's mounted suid, which is what you want.

It has been about a week and I have heard nothing !

I work at an ISP, with a T3 line and SGIs with IRIX 6.2, and I
downloaded the wu-ftpd source code a number times over a week span. I
looked at the CHECKSUMS file and noticed the following :

sig1: md5 : 2XU0vg7YiOjc50AFgFb5uK

So I ran both md5 and md5_b64.

#Base 16 MD5
1% md5 wu-ftpd-2.4.tar.Z
MD5 (wu-ftpd-2.4.tar.Z) = a1780e6a1e2b18b6614028fa8f945e14

#Base 64 MD5
2% md5_b64 wu-ftpd-2.4.tar.Z
MD5 (wu-ftpd-2.4.tar.Z) = oXgOah4rGLZhQCj6j5ReFA

Notice something wrong with the Base 64 answer !

Are there some public keys I don't know about ? If so, where do I get
them and what type of encryption is used to generate the digital
signatures ? If there isn't a public key should I be worried ?

I have also attached the source code for the MD5, in case it is error,
used to generate the checksums above. It was also freeware. The
"-DB64" C preprocessor gets set to compile the code to work in the "Base
64 Mode".

Each log level should be prefixed by a '=' for the desired effect:

daemon.=emerg /usr/adm/syslogs/daemon.emerg
daemon.=debug /usr/adm/syslogs/daemon.debug
...

You should also make sure that there aren't any other across-the-board
settings for a given log level, as that may be overriding the daemon.*
settings.

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

I have been fighting a problem for about a week that sounds like the
same thing. Solved it just now. I bet your ftp password entry is
something like /public/./home. Try changing it to /public.

Now we just need to find out why it did not work for us on these
machines but seems to have worked elsewhere.

By the way I got around the need to recreate libs by doing a ro lofs
mount of /usr/lib into the chrooted /lib directory. Seems to work
fine, anybody see any security problems in this?

/usr/lib - /public/lib lofs - yes ro
/usr/share/lib - /public/usr/share/lib lofs - yes ro

IMO as good as they come. There are a number of security and bug fixes in
this release that are essential. Beta 12 has been through a long
development cycle and is worth putting in place.

Well, I'm running on SCO OpenServer 5 (SVR4) which has a release version of
3.2v5.0.2. I've made custom authentication routines for validating
passwords, and by the code I don't think they should affect anything
relating to the actual transfers, but who knows?

Any ideas anyone?

The www page(s) on wuarchive.wustl.edu about wu-ftpd should have a link to
the faq... they did last time I looked.

Anyway, it's at http://www.cetis.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html

Hello folks,

My IRIX 6.2 compiler is balking at the C preprocessor variable NCARGS.
Some recursive finding in my WU source code directory and the
/usr/include directory with "find . -name \* -exec grep NCARGS {} \;
-print" reveals that this variable is undefined. What should this
variable be set to ?

Bye,

That depends on your operating system and version of syslogd. I have seen
the = option in Linux's syslog.conf. The syslogd on Solaris 2.X and SunOS 4.X
doesn't have it.

I thought the same as well. =) But it's mounted nosuid. The reason why I
came to this assumption: I rebooted and this is when the problems began
occuring. I typed mount, and that partition is definitely mounted as
nosuid. I'll have to assume the worst and plan to reformat the machine's
root.

Yes, leave the chroot part but remove the home dir part of the
password entries for the accounts that stopped working. IE:

stlee:x:1200:14:Steve Lee:/public/./pub/stlee:/bin/csh

becomes:

stlee:x:1200:14:Steve Lee:/public:/bin/csh

Let me know if it helped.

Hi. It sounds like you've got the vanilla 2.4 distribution. I tried to
get that running on my Irix 5.3 machine and ran into the NCARGS problem.
Searching for ncargs in the Online books pointed me to the file

/var/sysgen/mtune/kernel

This is a text file that specifies the values on ncargs on your machine.
After defining NCARGS based on this value, I was able to get wu-ftpd to
compile. (I may have had to make some other changes that I don't currently
recall.)
When I decided to use the academ beta 12 version instead, though, I did not
need to mess around with ncargs or any other mods to get the program to
compile. ./build sgi worked straight out of the box (tar file)

That would be a Sparc 1000 I presume. And I'm jealous.

First, this feature of wu-ftpd only works for downloads. You
absolutely cannot upload a compressed tar file and expect the server
to know that it is supposed to uncompress and untar it (as much as we
might like such a feature, it can't be done without changing the FTP
protocol).

Furthermore, while you can do on-the-fly tar or zip of directories,
the reverse doesn't make sense in this context. eg: download archive.tar.gz
and expect it to be automatically expanded on the server and sent to you
file by file. Sorry, but again you'd have to change the FTP protocol
and probably the client software.

ie: this is a server feature that relies upon NO changes to the FTP
protocol, and no special features on the client side.

Now, The server receives a request to download TEST.Z. If that file
exists, then fine, it sends it to you. If not, but a file named TEST
exists then the server compresses TEST on the fly, and you get TEST.Z
as though it had existed on the server. But if a directory named TEST
exists, no go, unless you request TEST.tar or TEST.tar.Z or
TEST.tar.gz or maybe even TEST.zip - in which case you get on-the-fly
archiving possibly combined with compression.

OTOH, suppose that TEST.Z exists (but not TEST), and you request TEST.
The server obliges and sends you TEST by uncompressing TEST.Z and
sending you the result. This might be handy if you were on a peecee
and didn't have uncompress available.

Now, for all of this to work for anonymous users, you need statically
compiled binaries for compress and tar and gzip and maybe even zip (as
in PK). (or dynamic binaries, and all the required libraries in
~ftp/usr/lib.).

It is also necessary to have the FTP server configured properly.

You need lines such as these, in the ftpaccess file:

compress yes local remote
tar yes local

These are EXAMPLES only! See ftpaccess(5) for details.

You also need an ftpconversions file with specifications of what conversions
are allowed. Here is one possible ftpconversions file that supports
on-the-fly compress, decompress, gzip, gunzip, tar, tar and compress,
tar and gzip, and PK-like zip.

: : :.Z:/bin/compress -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:COMPRESS
:.Z: : :/bin/compress -cd %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:UNCOMPRESS
: : :.gz:/bin/gzip -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:GZIP
:.gz: : :/bin/gzip -cd %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:GUNZIP
: : :.tar:/bin/tar -c -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_TAR:TAR
: : :.tar.Z:/bin/tar -c -Z -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+COMPRESS
: : :.tar.gz:/bin/tar -c -z -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+GZIP
: : :.zip:/bin/zip -qr - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:ZIP

at least, it seems to work for me under Solaris 2.4 and 2.5, alas not
on a 1000, but on 5's and 10's. Doing zip is definitely questionable,
but I think I tested it once :)

Hi.. Thanks. However, it seems changing /public/./pub/stlee to /public
would stop the chroot from working. But, I'll give it a try.

I tried it. Again, 2.4 worked fine, 2.4.2-beta12 failed again. Log in to
ftp with a guest account, do a dir, get the right dir, do a "cd /" and
then a "dir" again. 2.4 gives the same directory as the first time, beta
12 gives the actual "/" root directory.

You are having a different problem than I had. I am not completely set
up yet I hope I do not run your problem too.

It does however look like the chroot part of wu-ftp_2.4-beta_12 is a
bit broken. I found I could not use the /./cd2dir feature and you are
finding that you can cd out of the chrooted path. I wonder how long
before a fix is out?

Yes, you are indeed correct. Someone else pointed this out to me in
private email. Judging from the man page, it appears that the syslog used
by Linux may be the only one supporting this functionality.

Sorry for any confusion.

Scott (JACOBS), thanks for the warm tip. The following are important
tweeks that I noted to get the wu-ftpd-2.4 to compile on IRIX6.2.

For IRIX 6.2 things are a little different than IRIX 5.2. The maximum
number of arguments that can be passed to a routine can be configured on
the fly with the "systune" command. As root, you can find the setting
of the NCARGS variable by performing a "systune | grep ncargs". I
believe the IRIX 6.2 default is 20480 or 0X5000. After having found
what NCARGS should be on my machine, I put a hack into the top of the
glob.c file, "#define NCARGS (20480)". This wasn't pretty, but I am too
short on time to research for any kernel system inquiry routines.

I also has to tweek the Makefile, by adding a "-cckr" to the CFLAGS,
to hush the compiler complaints about file ftpd.c on the three lines
containing "va_start(ap)" macros.

The last tweek was to set LIBC to nothing in the Makefile. It was
originally set to "/usr/lib/libc.a".

The code compiles. Tomorrow we will see if it works !

Bye,

Subject: signal 11 error, virtual ftp, "ftp" v "anon" login.
X-Mts: smtp
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi,

I'm trying to set up Virtual Hosts on a FreeBSD box.
I've already got it running on another FreeBSD box,
but I've run into a problem which I'm sure is
a stupid configuration error, but I just can't see it.

Anyway -

Problem:

When you ftp to the machines proper hostname (i.e the main
directory of the ftp server), everything is fine.

When you ftp to a virtual host (all of which point to
sub directories of the man ftp directory), you can log on
as "anonymous", and everything works fine. BUT if you log as
"ftp", as soon as you do a dir or ls, you get the old

421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

and our friend signal 11 appears in messages.

I've set things up identically on two servers. One is running
FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE (the problem one) and the other, which
behaves fine is running FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE.

I've taken the compiled ftpd from the "good" machine
and run it on the bad, to no effect.

I've had a look through th archives for anything similar, but it is
1:15 am after a rather hectic week, so apologies if I've missed
something obvious. :-)

regards,
Ed

The Solaris 2 FAQ has a script (I think it's called ftp_anon) to setup the
FTP directory structure. I ran the script and it solved my problems with:
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number.

But then I ran into problems with my ftpaccess file. WU-FTPD would not
allow "real" users into the system or disallow "deletes" by anonymous
users. Turns out I simply had to create a /etc/shells file (in the real
filesystem, not under the ftp directory). It's all described in the
wu-ftpd FAQ, but may not be obvious becuase it says something about AIX
systems.

If it's any glimmer of hope, wu-ftpd-b12 will run on a Solaris 2.5.1 box!

Hope this helps! Feel free to contact me with any questions, I'll try to
help as much as I can.
Ken

One thing to be careful of is that more than one virtual host accessing
a single filesystem don't clobber each other's pid files (on my machine,
that's /usr/local/daemon/ftpd/...

I had downloaded the documentation and in the process of setting it up on
Solaris 2.5, I noticed that there was an error in your documentation where you
are creating ~dev/zero. The command read "mknod zero c 3 12". When I set it
up that way, I started getting errors about "device not being found". On
further investigation, I found that the actual command should be "mknod zero c
13 12". I am not sure if any one else has noticed this mistake in the
documentation. If it is not a mistake, I apologize.
Hope this helps.

Dilip

Instead of hardwiring numbers like that into the documentation, a better
approach for Solaris would be to do what the ftpd man page says: run

ls -lL /dev/zero

(and similarly for the other devices) and use whatever numbers the ls
command returns.

I haven't seen this mentioned, and am curuios about it because I am
thinking of implementingthe software, does wu-ftpd support one time
passwords, such as those with s/key and opie? I would much prefer to be
able to use wu-ftpd still, instead of going with the one supplied with
opie(which is the specific package im looking at, ive read that s/key has
serious flaws)

Many thanks for any info you can provide me :)

I missed the earlier part of this thread, but make sure you have wu-ftpd
beta12 or higher. beta11 has a buffer overrun in the virtual ftp handling
that was causing segv's and:
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

I'm new to the list so this one may already have been pointed out, but
another possible cause of SEGVs is the

reply(530, "User %s access denied...(%s)", name);

at line 1183 of ftpd.c, although that would depend on the user being in
ftpusers or having an invalid shell. They could have changed the
implementation of vsnprintf in the later OS release to cause/prevent
the SEGV. Neil.

I'd also like to note that the above error is also present in the beta-12
version, as was causing error 11s (SEGV) for me running on SCO
OpenServer 5.

What I mean is NOT the upload clause in the ftpaccess, but setting
one mode for all users when they upload files to their dirs (now is
rw-rw-r which is VERY bad security wise, should be rwx-rx-rx).

Is it possible at all? (IMO must be, as no software would have such a
big security hole still not fixed!)

As I wrote in my other message just a bit later, I was looking for
the umask...and I did try -u for ftpd in inetd.conf, BUT
-u 755 gives:
-----w--w-
and so does -u 0755 (yes, I rebooted the server for this to take
effect).

So what is the way to get 755 default file upload more for all users
(when they upload files to their home dirs, etc.)? It is not the
upload clause, nor the -u 755 for inetd.conf ftpd entry as far as I
can see...

(I am using wu-ftpd 2.4.2b11 on Solaris 2.5.1/ISS 1.0).

I have searched through the wu-ftpd (2.4.2b11) docs and have not been
able to find anything on this...
how do I set the default uploaded file modes to other than the

See the upload directive in /etc/ftpaccess. Make sure you are running -a
on the wu.ftpd line in inetd.conf.

This is a very important issue, if you succeed to make
the server SIGVEC, that means somene can play on the
stack an issue arbitrary commands.

In the reply(), I see a danger if debug is set
then vsprintf() may overrun the buffer.
can you confirm ?
If you have a patch, can you mail it to
Mr Barber and Cc the list please

I get builds just dandy with IBM's C compiler (cc). I don't use gcc
primarily because cc builds a more suitable loader that runs on more
different AIX boxes, among other reasons.

That's exactly correct. The umask is just the opposite of the permission
bits; it defines which permissions to NOT allow upon creating new files,
devices, directories, etc. So in this case:

777 -rwxrwxrwx all permissions
- 755 -rwxr-xr-x subtract umask
-------
22 -----w--w- resultant permissions

Thus, if you want a default of 755, set the umask to 22.

Hi,

there were some messages concering the stableness of the current
beta-versions, but nobody mentioned checksums. Are there checksums
available?

Subject: Installing over the top of manufacturer's version
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I'm trying to upgrade from 2.4 to 2.4.2-beta-12, and find that the default
install (for Solaris 2.5) installs ftpd as /usr/sbin/in.ftpd and the man
pages under /usr/share/man.

Can anyone reassure me as to how resiliant this would be if the system were
to be patched, say to cope with the latest CERT scare. Would install_patch
notice that /usr/sbin/in.ftpd was not as originally installed, or that its
manpage had been replaced, or might it blithely overwrite the wu-ftpd version
with a patched but nowhere near as good Solaris version?

Thanks in advance,

John Attwood.

Is there any way to setup the ftp daemon to attach to a port and stay
running, rather than it being loaded upon demand my inetd?

i personally suggest that you NEVER install over original system files.
imho, it is always a good idea to keep installed stuff separate from
system stuff.

the reason is that you want to be able to stick in the solaris cd-rom
and not have to worry or try to remember which files will get hosed and
which won't, the same goes with patches...

that is what /usr/local/* is for...

Based on my experiences with sendmail, it would most likely
blithely overwrite the rogue wu-ftpd binary it found.

It will do this (at least vis a vis sendmail) even if you roll
up a separate package for it & "pkgadd" it.

You can probably overcome this by writing an appropriate patch
package, but I don't know how to do this yet. The only documentation
for how Sun does this is in the installpatch script, as far as
I have been able to tell. If anyone knows more about this I'd
like to talk to you.

John,

If you use the installpatch script that comes with Sun's patches the checksum
information will be different and the upgrade of the patch should fail.

I should have added that the behavior of the solaris installation
programs depends on what you're doing, or "can depend".

installpatch will probably act as I described. A fresh re-install
will probably act as I described. An "upgrade" install is a little
unpredictable. It may replace. It may replace & complain.
It _may_ skip this ftpd binary, or even blow up & refuse to finish the
upgrade (this happens sometimes when something about the patch
set you have installed causes it problems). These things shouldn't
really happen, but I'm warning you anyway because I don't want
anyone closing in on me with lawyers!

Hi all,

Thanks to everyones help, I have wu-ftpd beta 12 installed on my solaris
2.5.1 system. I am currently running it without the -a option since I am
trying to figure out the ftpaccess file. I have the man page, plus the
O'Reilly book "Managing Internet Information Services" (is that out of
date?) plus the guest accounts post that was posted on the list recently.

>From all of that, I gather that if I create a group in the /etc/group file
and then reference it in the guestgroup line of the ftpaccess, anyone I put
in that group will have restricted access (depending on where the /./ is in
the path). So my assumtion is that I can create one group, have various
people in it, each with their own private ftp area, is that right?

However, what I don't know is where the ftpgroup file comes in. There is no
man page for it, it is not mentioned in the book, yet there is an example of
it under doc/examples, what is it's function?

As always, thanks for any and all help

I'd like to use the Unix zip programs to archive directories (and/or files)
in a fashion similar to that support for tar. After looking over some of
the source and documentation I can decide if this should require source
mods or just a line or two in ftpconversions.

Has anyone done this, or can you offer advice one way or the other?

if you browse to the archive, you'll find
plenty of examples, it was a 'hot' topic last year.

You just need to modify ftpconversion and have a version
of zip that can do stuff on the fly.

Yes I have done this with ftpconversions only - no source mods.
It even works. Write me if you want my ftpconversions file.

yes, I have to agree wu-ftpd have a very loose definition of terms
guest sometimes means anonymous
or guest accounts or guestgroup etc ...

In this case the file ftpgroup is use for two particular
commands.

SITE GROUP
SITE GPASS

So a person may change is gid and access some particular file
this is enable by putting
private yes
in ftpaccess.

for the man pages do
man ftpaccess
and look under private, also under autogroup.
O'reilley book comes with some examples, but the book is out of date.

Works great with just a simple addition to the 'ftpconversions' file.
Also make sure that you have the latest version of '(un)zip' (unzip 5.12
zip 2.1) which can handle accepting filenames from STDIN. Below is the
'ftpconversions' file that works for me on SunOs 4.1.3.

Hi,
I am running wu-ftpd 2.4 on Digital Unix 4.0a. I am having trouble
getting a directory listing for guest users set up as described in the
guest-howto written by Michael Brennen. I have copied the statically
linked version of ls to the local directory (in this case
/www/users/~username/bin), and I can't get a directory listing using
ws-ftp and other Windows-based clients. Command line ftp will return a
listing if ls is called without any flags. ls -l from the command line
returns nothing. Does anyone have any ideas? Apologies if I've missed
something obvious.

Regards, Ger.

I had to use gnu tar in order to get tarred and compressed output. I
am using the info-zip package for Unix for .zip files, the installed
compress command for .Z, and gnuzip for .gz. In order to get the
info-zip package to work for anonymous ftp I had to add libbsd.a to the
~ftp/lib directory. (This system is AIX 3.2.5.1.)

This had been tested using a pure-DOS FTP client and the info-zip
components work just fine, zipping and unzipping "on the fly".
(No, that was not originally intended as a double-entendre.)

Here is my ftpconversions file:

ftpcount needs the file _PATH_PIDNAMES to work properly
usually
_PATH_PIDNAMES --> /etc/ftp.pid-%s

That's where all the accounting takes place

If you don't have the src code do a

strings - ftpcount
and try to figure out where is _PATH_PIDNAMES

Note: it also uses /bin/ps -f -p but that should be allright for Linux

A while back we had to do a restore of some data that got messed up after
a disk crash; the original wu-ftpd source was one of those pieces of data.
Apparently the checksums didn't get recreated correctly (or were recreated
with some strange arcane method).

I went through and verified the contents of the archives and re-calculated
their checksums (with md5, BSD-sum and SYSV-sum). Everything should check
out correctly now.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

To my knowledge, there are currently no checksums available, although I'm
certainly not the official word. We mirror the betas on wuarchive, though,
so I'd be more than happy to generate the same types of checksums that we
used for the original, if anyone's interested. (Stan?)

It was on beta11. upgrading to beta 12 solved the problem.
Funny thing is beta11 is working fine with virtual servers
on FreeBSD 2.1.0.

Just to recap, the problem was when when users ftp'd into
a virtual server as "ftp" (not anonymous), and tried to
do ls or dir, the connection would fall over. I suspect
the same thing would happen with any other command in
the server's /bin (I also have tar and gzip in there),
but didn't get a chance to test it.

Seeing as the problem doesn't occur with beta 12, or beta
11 on FreeBSD 2.1.0, I guess it's some FreeBSD 2.1.5 <-> wu-ftpd
beta 11 problem. Don't have time to track it down though. :-)

Ed

I suspect it's a case of stomping of different memory locations on
different systems with different results. Beta11 was out for quite some
time, and I assume someone must have tried virtual ftp on linux before me.

I've noticed with other things (innd) that memory corruption errors can
have wildly different results on the same platform where the only
difference is binary format (elf vs a.out).

yes, virtual ftp w/ wu-ftpd( beta 12) works fine for my linux box
( linux-2.0.28 )...One key for "getting what I wanted" is that
each virtual domain must have it's own unique IP number... :-(
You can see how I set it up by reviewing my pages at:

Use guestgroup in ftpaccess. See the manpage for ftpaccess for configuration.
With guestgroup, wu-ftp make a chroot into the home directory of the user.

I think, thats what the guestgroup feature is for.
I have set up several users for exactly this behaviour and it works
fine.

since switching to wuftpd from SunOS-ftpd i have recieved complaints
from one PC user the problem appears to be his client. he is not using
a windows ftp client he has only a dos ftp client and it cant handle
the banner.msg, welcome.msg, or .message. i know this is not a wuftpd
problem i am hoping that someone else has run into this. i need to find
a solution for this PC user. does anyone know of PC clients that can

Hi all,

I thought I had my wu-ftpd beta 12 working fine on my solaris 2.5.1 and then
I hit a snag. Basically, all my guest users work great, but when I ftp in,
instead of being a real user, I get the message I am restricted and then of
course, nothing works (ls, cd, etc) because I don't have all the directories
in my path.

I know this is a problem with my ftpaccess file, but I don't know what I am
doing wrong. Here is my ftpaccess file:

class all real,guest,anonymous *

message /welcome.msg login

compress no local remote
tar no local remote

delete no anonymous,guest
overwrite no anonymous
rename no anonymous
chmod no anonymous,guest
umask no anonymous,guest

guestgroup ftpguest

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

email [email protected]

As you can see, it's pretty basic, I'm not doing anything fancy with it.
So, I know it is probably some really dumb thing, but if anyone has any
idea, I would MOST appreciate it!

Thanks!

This is an *old* FAQ; haven't heard this one in a while. Have him put a -
(dash) in front of his password:. This is only valid for anonymous login.

I had this problem as well.

In my case, I had MY user listed in /etc/group with the group defined as a
guestgroup. As such, I was treated as a guest and not a real user.

Solution was to remove my username from the group in /etc/group. This
allowed me to log in as a real user.

boof... I just checked source at ftpd.c, beta 12, line 1344:

if (!anonymous) { /* "ftp" is only account allowed no password */
if (*passwd == '-')
passwd++;

You're right. I figured since '-' was a valid real/guest password
character they would skip the check. Au contraire...

It also means that if your passwd start with '-'
you will never be able to loggin as a real user.

Amusing don't you think :-)
Especially, when you have a student bugging you

Well not really .. if you've got you're password as '-qwer1' you just got
to type '--qwer1'

hmm .. but he will never see those nifty messages that other will see as
they move around the tree ..

Im not quite shure, but I think HP uses in that case the protected PW-database.

that filling out the form has helped them work through the incident.

Note that our policy is to keep any information specific to your site
confidential unless we receive your permission to release that information.

Please feel free to duplicate any section as required. Please return this
form to [email protected]. If you are unable to email this form, please send
it by FAX. The CERT/CC FAX number is

+1 412 268 6989

I changed the zip line slightly so you can zip up entire directories
(like .tar.gz) and it looks like it works fine:

:.zip: : :/bin/unzip -qq -p %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:UNZIP
: : :.zip:/bin/zip -qq -r - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:ZIP

The recursive flag (-r) doesn't cause any problems if the argument is
a regular file, so this works. Or at least it did for me on a Solaris
2.4 system with beta-12.

I'll say something is strange. None of the above works for me. I do a dir

( This one is just *bound* to get me talked about. :-)
X
Because I have a slow modem link, I offer an http server that does
dynamic redirections on requests to fetch for the big stuff via the web.
X
But ftp doesn't support such things, so I'm stuck with my line getting
sucked down by the mad clickers who've never done anything more with a
computer than click the mouse in a web browser.
X
I prefer that people not use ftp for large transfers, but I can't stop
them. Well, couldn't. Here's a patch that allows for flexible password
validation checking. The goal is not to create junk mail, but rather
to dissuade the neophyte internet wannabes from using ftp instead of http.
X
It is enabled by this line in the ftpaccess file:
X
X # passwd-check <none|trivial|rfc822|bogus> [<enforce|warn>]
X passwd-check bogus enforce
X
That means it will do a password verification check by calling an external
filter. This filter defaults to a program called "ftpdckr" (_PATH_PWDCHK)
in the same place as the other ftp{users,access,conversions,groups} go.
You may set this to another program by placing this in the ftpaccess file:
X
X bogus-filter /usr/local/etc/ftpucheck
X
If you wish to issue a special message upon failure, you can do
with a line like this:
X
X passwd-failure /usr/etc/msg.badpass
X
The bogus passwd filter program is expected to take as its first argument
the password supplied, and to exit 0 if it's ok, and non-zero if it's not
ok. Any extra logging is up to the filter.
X
X SECURITY WARNING: You must be careful if using this checker from other
X programs to take care to use only execvp() (or its moral equivalent)
X and not a random system() on it, because there could of course be
X shell escapes in the argument.
X
A sample checker is supplied (called ckaddr in this distribution). It is
more than slightly persnicketty. It will serve as a general-purpose
[email protected] checker as well, such as for CGI programs, etc.
X
I don't know for sure whether this should make its way into the standard
wu-ftpd, but I've had it asked for so many times that here it is.

If you are using a web browser and/or proxy server, please report to your
service provider or software vendor that their product is homogenizing
all email addresses, and that this is evil.
X
Proxy servers are notoriously secretive, and web browsers are getting
that way. For example, some versions of Netscape always say "mozilla"
(until the 3.0 release, where it's configurable), and Micro$oft's
Internet Explorer masquerades as "webuser". Such bogus email responses
are simply not acceptable on this site.
X
It may be possible for you to instead of using something like that
ftp://ftp.somewhere.dom/, to manually specify ftp://ftp@ftp.somewhere.dom/
and be prompted for your real email address. Please be a good net citizen
and place it there. Rest assured that you will not be placed on any
junk-mail mailing lists as a result of this action.
X
If that doesn't work, you can always use something like Mosaic. Better
yet, go get yourself a *real* ftp program. It turns out that things
like ncftp are phenomenally more featureful and useful than the
mini ftp clients found in most web browsers.
X
The truth is that I have a slow ftp connection, so I have to restrict
access somehow. This is the best way I've come up with, because it keeps
out billions and billions of K00l D00DZ who can't do anything but point
and click.

Hello, my name is Thomas McDonald, and I'm trying to set the wuftpd ftp
server. I'm anxious to get it set up, but I'm VERY new to the unix OS, so
could someone tell me how to unzip the file? I've never done it before
and I'd appreciate it if someone helped me out.

Thanks, Thom

When viewing the output of an 'ls -l' command, the date/time shown
appears to be GMT. I would like this to be my local timezone
(US/Pacific). I tried setting the TZ environment variable in ftpd, but
it didn't seem to have any effect on the execution of ~ftp/bin/ls.

Is there anyway to do this? If so, how?

Thanks for your time. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

tar xzf wu-ftpd....

where .... is the rest of the file name. That will extract the contents
into a directory. Read the README and INSTALL docs, as well as others,
carefully so you know what you are getting into. Some reading about FTP
security would be very advisable for you before you put it online. See
the data below for more references.

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

Greetings,

I'm working on getting the so called "guest user" feature of
WU Archive FTP server to work. (have everything else working)
I've read Managing Internet Information Services chapter(s) on
this, and it's not clear to me, set it up according to the FAQ,
the book, the man pages, and it doesn't work. According to (my
understanding of) the book you get in using "ftp ftpserver",
and then use the "ftp>user guest-login" command, or perhaps
"ftp>site group field" and "ftp>site gpass passwd". I will be
glad to describe what I've done in my spare time ;-) (for 30 days)
in detail, to someone who knows, and is willing to help, but will
spare the network bandwidth in this posting.

In short, this is what happens:

unix% ftp ftpserver
Connected to ftpserver
220 ftpserver FTP server (Version wu-2.4(1) `date` ready.
Name (ftpserver:dh: ftp
331 Guest login ok, send your complete email address as passwd.
Password:
230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
ftp> user guest-login
530 Can't change user from guest login.
Login failed.
ftp>

Where "guest-login" is the name of a Customer, and a guest-login setup
according to the book, the FAQ(s), and the manpages. [over 100 things
have been tried I'd estimate]. I imagine we should be on a much newer
version, but management is reluctant to shine on their investment.

Many Thanks, David

You are probably missing the /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo directory from your
FTP root - ie. ~ftp/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo...

>From the Solaris man page (admittedly Solaris 2.5, not 2.4) :-
~ftp/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo
Make this directory mode 555 and owned by the
super-user. Copy its contents from
/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo. This enables ls -l to
display time and date stamps correctly.

If I recall correctly, you don't really need the whole of this directory,
just the bits relevant to your timezone, but copying the whole thing a la
man page won't hurt.

I hope this helps !

Cheers, Bob
