Hi,

After I install wu-ftp (beta 16), it work only for user at
/etc/passwd,
not no NIS+ 's user database. If the user already
keylogin on this machine, ftp will work fine.

Is there any hint/tip to fix this problem , or any workaround?

Best regards,
Man Wu

Hello Daniel Clar, in a previous mail you wrote:

> My ftp server ftp.supelec.fr is an alias on my main internet server
> supelec.supelec.fr. How can I manage so that people connecting to ftp.
> supelec.fr see this name instead of the true name ?

I use the appended patch to fix this canonical hostname problem by
using

virtual 192.76.162.40 root /e/ftp/
virtual 192.76.162.40 banner /e/ftp/etc/msgs/msg.banner
virtual 192.76.162.40 hostname ftp0.engelschall.com
virtual 192.76.162.43 root /e/net.sw/ftp
virtual 192.76.162.43 banner /e/net.sw/ftp/etc/msgs/msg.banner
virtual 192.76.162.43 hostname ftp0.netsw.org

in my ftpaccess. But you can also just use

hostname foo.bar.com

in your ftpaccess which is also supported by the patch.

Ops, sorry, due to automatic mail reader tab->space conversion, the
posted patch didn't applied cleanly against B16. And additionally
an #ifdef was wrong. Here is the revised patch.

Ralf S. Engelschall
[email protected]
www.engelschall.com

=============

This is a patch against the sources of WU-FTPd 2.4.2-B16.
It adds three features which have to be enabled explicitly
by setting one or more of the following preprocessor defines:

THROUGHPUT .............. Restrict network transfer throughput
(This is needed for an archive I set up)
TRAFFIC_COUNT ........... Count total amount of transfer bytes
(I just found it interesting)
NO_SUCKING_NEWLINES ..... Disable some sucking newlines in outputs
(The extra blank lines for message and
banner annoyed me a bit...)

Feel free to do with it what you want...

Greetings,
Ralf S. Engelschall

The upload keyword only applies to users who
have a home directory (the argument to the chroot() )
of <root-dir>.
+
+ .TP 0.5i
+ .B throughput <root-dir> <subdir-glob> <file-glob-list> <bytes-per-second> <bytes-per-second-multiply> <remote-glob-list>
+
+ Define files via comma-seperated <file-glob-list> in subdir matched by
+ <subdir-glob> under <root-dir> that have restricted transfer throughput of
+ <bytes-per-second> on download when the remote hostname or remote IP address
+ matches the comma-seperated <remote-glob-list>.
+
+ Entries are matched on a best-match basis.
+
+ For example:
+ throughput /e/ftp * * oo - *
+ throughput /e/ftp /sw* * 1024 0.5 *
+ throughput /e/ftp /sw* README oo - *
+ throughput /e/ftp /sw* * oo - *.foo.com
+
+ This would set maximum throughput per default, but restrict download to 1024
+ bytes/s for any files under /e/ftp/sw/ which are not named README. The only
+ exceptions are remote hosts from within the domain foo.com which always get
+ maximum throughput. Every time a remote client has retrieved a file under
+ /e/ftp/sw/ the bytes per seconds of the matched entry line are internally
+ multiplied by a factor, here 0.5. So when the remote client retrieves its
+ second file it is served with 512 bytes/s, the third time with only 254
+ bytes/s, the fourth time with only 128 bytes/s and so on.
+
+ The string "oo" for the bytes per second field means no throughput
+ restriction. A multiply factor of 1.0 or "-" means no change of the throughput
+ after every successful transfer.
+
+ Note that the <root-dir> here must match the home directory specified in the
+ password database for the "ftp" user. The throughput keyword only applies to
+ users who have a home directory (the argument to the chroot() ) of <root-dir>.

Actually I figured out that since I didn't allow the listing of the
contents of my directory, the wildcard wouldn't work. There's no problem
now.

I'm running wu-ftpd-2.4 on AIX 4.2.0 and noticed that when I do a 'mget
*.jpg' (for example), I see this error
Bad directory components
can't find list of remote files, oops

Did I miss something during compile time?

Thanks for any input

Hi,

I have the following problem with wu-ftpd version 2.4.2-academ[BETA-14] on Sun
Solaris 2.5 machine:

I have an upload directory for a group (four users). Members of the group can
upload their files and everyone in the group should be able to change each
other files. To accomplish I definied the following rule in ftpaccess:

upload /info/www /wwwdir/facilitair/* yes dbzschra fac 0775

Thus every new file should be owned by user dbzschra and group fac with write
permission for the group.

As you may have guessed the upload rule doesn't work. Every new file is owned
by the user who uploaded the file. I've checked and re-checked the path
(/info...). Are "*" not allowed?

Any suggestion?

Ivan
p.s. the group set-ID bit is set on facilitair:
drwxrwsr-x 18 dbzschra fac 1536 Feb 2 21:52 /info/www/wwwdir/facilitair

This is the location for the latest wu-ftpd. You can't see the

Dear all,

I wonder how to set the umask of directories be 0002 (with mode 775) and
umask of files be 0113 (with mode 664)? I've read through the faq, it
stated that -u can be used to set the umask. However, it seems that it is
only used for files and I don't find it work as I want.

If you have any idea, please kindly help.

Thanks in advance.

OK, I'm really at a stumbling block. I've read the FAQ's, the Managing
Internet Information Services book, and asked just about everybody I can
think of for the answer.

I have all the libraries that ls needs installed in the anonymous ftp
root directory exactly the way that chroot ~ftp /bin/ftpd-exec/ls wants
things as well as the command ldd ~ftp/bin/ftpd-exec/ls says are
required.

I am running this on Solaris 2.5.1
I compiled everything with the gcc compiler.
I am running this version of the WU-ARCHIVE:
FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-15])
I've recompiled several times to try to find out what is going wrong
here but I'm still in the dark.

I tried this:

Normal ftp clients work, Netscape ftp's fail. So,
passive mode doesn't work.
Apparently ftpd needs write permission
on ~ftp/dev/tcp in order to operate correctly in passive mode (Solaris).
Set it to the same mode as permissions shown by ls -lL /dev/tcp, being
666. Also read the Solaris man page for ftpd for Solaris-specific
information. Changed from previous versions
Fix:

cd ~ftp/dev
chmod 666 tcp
Thanks to Simon Rakov
([email protected]) for this one.

And
cd ~ftp/dev

Hello all,

I have created the FTP user accounts 'test1' & 'test2' with
group 'ftptest', both are in the same group (ftptest).
The home directory for them is '/ftp/ftpusers/test' also the
upload directory for test1 & test2 users. As the rule on
ftpaccess file:

upload /ftp/ftpusers /test yes test1 ftptest 0750 dirs

So, both users can upload file(s) and all files are uploaded will be
owned by test1, group ftptest with permission rwxr-x--- on every file.
This part here it works well.

What I want are 2 things:

- When user 'test2' create a sub-directory under ~/test, the
ownership of the sub-directory and any uploaded files should
be owned by 'test1', group 'ftptest'. The uploaded file(s) are
owned by 'test1', group 'ftptest', but the sub-directory is
owned by 'test2', why?

- I want to deny 'delete' of any files & directory from ~test
directory from user 'test2', but user 'test1'. So, user
'test2' allow upload or write, but not delete (remove).
How can I do it?

Hope you understand my question... get me some help...

Thanks,
/Pat

Is there any way to prevent somebody from using a client like CuteFTP
2.0 to tie up a connection. CuteFTP sends a NOOP at a given interval to
keep the connection alive. I've seen people idle for days on end. Is
there anyway to prevent them from doing so?

Is there any way to set a umask for a guestgroup to 022? I tried putting
it in the .profile of the chroot'ed directory, but that didn't seem to
work. Any ideas?

good day all ...

i seem to be having some difficulty getting wu-ftpd 2.4.2b14 (and 16) to log to
xferlog. i've looked at the FAQ, the solaris FAQ, and at the mail list archive
too, but i still have not made it log to xferlog. my system is solaris 2.5.1, and
as i mentioned wu-ftpd 2.4.2b14(16). ckconfig indicates that xferlog is set
correctly, my inetd entry for ftp is:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd -ai

ftpd works fine for both normal and anonymous users. am i missing something simple
here? as far as i can tell it should be logging to xferlog. thanks!

For daemon wide use, put -u022 on the command line in inetd.conf, or
change the CMASK in ftpd.c and recompile. There are also specific
permission overrides on the upload directive in /etc/ftpaccess.

You might want to set your idle timeout really low!

Maybe 15..30 seconds? ;)

Hi, all...

I've gone and shot myself in the foot (sigh).

I have Beta 15 up and cruising on Solaris 2.5.1 and everything was happy,
until I started making modifications to the ~ftp/etc/passwd file (stripping
out gcos, def. shell, and home directory fields in an effort to tighten
security).

Well, the next time I tried a test ftp session (login: "ftp") and did a
"dir" on the ~ftp directory, the client's output hung.

I've tried to undo my goof: re-copying the whole /etc/passwd file back into
the ~ftp/etc directory, but to no avail.

Can someone please point out my (simple, please?) solution?

Many thanks in advance,

david

I find this anoying as well. Some possiblities :
1- Add an absolut maximum connection time
2- Ignore NOOP (src/ftpcmd.y)
3- Prevent NOOP from reseting the timeout counter (see patch)

About the patch: this is a quick hack on beta-15. I've only done a quick
check to see if it works. It might cause problems because the alarm(0)
call is done later. I don't know the effect it will have on other function
(ie: SIGALRM might arrive while we're in strchr() or upper()). Also, my C
is rusty. strncasecmp will return 0 if the two match, right?

Hello Michael,

Have you checked /var/adm/xferlog?

I don't remember if you have to touch it or not.

if you did not edit anything at all on the location of xferlog
it should be there.

The line above from your inetd.conf should read as follows:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd -ai

You can set specific umasks for specific guestgroups with my patch, see

You have to keep the ':' in the ~ftp/etc/passwd file when you delete
some fields, e. g.

root:x:0:1:::

There is another possibility:

You can run a cronjob which kills old ftpd processes every day or every
few hours. If you like, I will send you a script for SunOS 4 or Solaris.

Subject: Guestgroup "dir" problems - the answer
Mime-Version: 1.0

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

When I originally posted a "no output from dir" problem, I decided to continue
diagnosing the problem. I found where the problem lies. I have multiple
guest groups and was wondering why some worked and others didn't. This
is specific to Solaris 2.5.x and 2.6. The problem lies in the
way you make the required "bin dev etc usr" directories, specifically "usr".
I, like many others, modified the script in the 'man pages' to suit my
needs and environment. When I upgraded from 2.5.1 to 2.6, I incorporated
my changes to the new script. It was only the new stuff that was failing.
The '~ftp/usr/lib' directory created by the new exec looks like:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root daemon 24576 Jan 13 10:21 ld.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root daemon 174844 Jan 13 10:21 ld.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 11 Jan 13 10:21 libc.so -> ./libc.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root daemon 1000252 Jan 13 10:21 libc.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 12 Jan 13 10:21 libdl.so -> ./libdl.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root daemon 4320 Jan 13 10:21 libdl.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 14 Jan 13 10:21 libintl.so -> ./libintl.so

1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root daemon 2468 Jan 13 10:21 libintl.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 11 Jan 13 10:21 libw.so -> ./libw.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root daemon 6708 Jan 13 10:21 libw.so.1

The problem is the links. For some unknown reason, 'ls -l' won't work
this way. When I use my old script, the directory looks like this:

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root daemon 24576 Nov 11 15:10 ld.so
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root daemon 174844 Nov 11 15:10 ld.so.1
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root daemon 1000252 Nov 11 15:10 libc.so
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root daemon 1000252 Nov 11 15:10 libc.so.1
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root daemon 4320 Nov 11 15:10 libdl.so
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root daemon 4320 Nov 11 15:10 libdl.so.1
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root daemon 2468 Nov 11 15:10 libintl.so
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root daemon 2468 Nov 11 15:10 libintl.so.1
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root daemon 6708 Nov 11 15:10 libw.so
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root daemon 6708 Nov 11 15:10 libw.so.1

This setup allows 'ls -l' to function perfectly. So, if you change the
links to real files, all is well.

Just for your archive:

I had activated PARANOID (#define PARANOID), don't know why (maybe
because I'm a security fanatic?)
without PARANOID overwrite and delete make no problems.

Thanks to Subu Rama you gave the hint to PARANOID

T,

I'm really not to keen on running a beta build of wu-ftpd. Any ideas as
to whether this patch will work with the original 2.4?

Your thoughts on this matter are misinformed. The current beta version is
much better and much more stable than the last release version. If you look
at CERT's web pages you will see that they tell you NOT to run the release
version of wu-ftpd.

I'm trying to make a secure setup for anon-ftp.

One of the suggestions is to make sure that the user (usually 'ftp') cannot
receive email.

I think I have done so, but how can I check? If I sent email to 'ftp@' it
does not bounce and does not appear to end up anywhere

Thanks

The log entries for days of the month less than 10 are blank-padded, ie "Feb
5" instead of "Feb 05"

As below:

Thu Feb 5 14:26:31 1998 1 luomat 12 /welcome.msg b _ o a luomat@ ftp 0 *

How hard would it be to make it zero-padded??

Thanks

Hi,

I have working on FTP for sometime now. I noticed that the RFC for FTP (RFC 959)
mentions a mode which allows for "Error Recovery and Restart" and using a
"Restart marker". However, I notice that most ftp implementations don't provide
this feature. I was also given to understand that wu-ftp does support this
feature. Is that correct? Or is there a different mechanism for recovery?
This leads me to another question - Why do other implementations do not
support this recovery mechanism? Is there some overhead/bottleneck in supporting
this feature?

I would appreciate any response on this.

Thanks in advance,
Sheela.

I've read the faq.. and I followed it.. but then I forgot to copy the
ftpguests file across to the /etc dir.. after I did.. I viewed it and
haven't a clue what it does. I am testing the ability to have different
root's for different users, and didnt' get it working. I didn't hcange
the shell to ftponly but left it as /bin/sh for the time being. I did
include the group users (what I'll eventually use) in the ftpaccess, made
sure I did all the files and their permissions in the users's dir (for
bsdi) and start the server with -a. No clue as to why it doesn't work.

-spence

p.s. for the pwd file.. I just coppied the one used in /etc (for the time
being until I get this working and smae for the group file)

Source code snippet :

#ifdef STUPID_SPRINTF
/* Some sprintfs can't deal with a lot of arguments, so we split this */
#if (defined(BSD) && (BSD >= 199103)) && !defined(LONGOFF_T)
sprintf(msg, "%.24s %d %s %qd ",
#else
sprintf(msg, "%.24s %d %s %d ",
#endif
ctime(&curtime),
xfertime,
remotehost,
byte_count
);
msg2 = msg + strlen(msg); /* sigh */

wu-ftpd uses the ctime libary call to convert date and time to a printable
format. To 'fix' this you would have to override the call to ctime and
provide your own ctime replacement.

Probably not hard, but I'm not sure I support the idea of making this a
generic modification to a future release, especially since it doesn't
make a significant improvement.

Think of all the programs written to analyse the existing log files which
might break (depending on how they were written) if you changed the log
format in a future release.

Of course, if you just want to make this modification in a private copy,
that's another matter...

Another option is to write a small program, say a perl script, to go through
the log file (or a copy of it) and make this change for you.

Cheers, Bob

Hrm.

let me ask a different question then... where can I find some of those
programs to analyze the log files?

ps -- I was asking this as I went to write my own, but it would be easier to
do with a zero-padded date

Problem solved!

'Hate to say it, but I still don't know what *caused* the problem exactly...

I modified a script I acquired from one of my colleagues that creates a
generic ~ftp/* directory structure (i.e. creates ~ftp/bin, ~ftp/usr,
~ftp/dev, etc., etc.), and copies necessary files over from the system's
/usr/lib/.... files, the system's /etc/passwd and /etc/group, etc., into
the ~ftp area.

It took me a little while to track down all the necessary files associated
with Solaris' dynamic "ls" command, but when I zapped all the old
structures and re-ran the setup script, the
"dir-that-hangs-the-client-output" problem went away.

Hooray! :-)

Thanks to Michael Brennan, Jim Davis, Martin Kirscht for their kind replies
and suggestions.

PS Why isn't there a similar make-a-generic-~ftp-environment script bundled
with the source files? (... or didn't I just read the install files
carefully enough???)

First place to check is the tools area in the WU-FTPD resource center at
http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/tools.html

There are a number of tools which read the xferlog listed.
If you don't find anything of use there, here's some bumph I picked out
of my mailing list archive :-

here's all the ftp log analysis programs I know about...have no clue
of which works or not with wu-ftpd...

ftp://tnt.microimages.com/tools
dumpxfer
processlog

ftp://ftp.cetis.hvu.nl/pub/koos/ftplogcheck

ftp.support.lotus.com/pub/utils/InternetServices/iisstat/iisstat.html (
strange path ?? )

..
I'm not familiar with that particular program, but I've written one of my
own based on the old xferstats script. It keeps the name xferstats, but
has been rewritten in C and generates HTML, a few graphs, etc. It's
currently undergoing a massive semi-rewrite to increase the speed and
functionality, and as a result 1.20 won't be available for probably a
couple weeks. In the meantime, 1.16 is available at:
ftp://sod.off.net/pub/xferstats/xferstats-1.16.tar.gz

If xferstats doesn't do quite what you want, please drop me a note, I'm
looking for ways to increase what it does :)
======

Finally, I wrote my own perl script to search for a string (usually the name
of the specific file you are interested in the log and return data about
the matches it finds (like who pulled it, or from what node, etc), which
I could make available if anybody is interested in that sort of analysis
(not sure how much cleaning up it would need first)... I also have a CGI
script so that it can be run from a page on our internal web server. This
was designed to allow people who have made releases via our FTP server to
see who has obtained their programs, etc...

Cheers, Bob

hi

I'm having trouble with anonymous file uploads. Specifically, it allows
anonymous users to upload files into the incoming directory, and the ftp
program reports that it is indeed transferring the file, but when i look
at the file the size is zero. Anyone know what i might be doing wrong?

It seems between ftp client and server, control channel is open but not
the data channel(through which actual data transfer). This is quite
possible if you trying this accross Firewall and restricting outsiders to
connect any random port to your domain. If this is the case then FTP
client on the other end is the culprit and you can replace this with
passive mode ftp client. If you have firewall installed u can check logs
of router if during FTP session anything being restricted.

This is just a possibility!

You can check your sendmail logs to know what happened with the mail.
There is a debug mode too with sendmail that tells you what sendmail does
when recieving a mail...

Well, I am not sure what this says:

Feb 6 03:09:35 luomat sendmail[16783]: DAA16783: from=luomat, size=122,
class=0, pri=30122, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[email protected]>,

Note: there is a .forward in ~ftp set to send mail to me, and I haven't
gotten anything yet

We have been evaluating the wu-ftpd 2.4 (BETA 15) for managing
external transfers. So far so good but the command "proxy" allows us
to connect onto other servers within our LAN.

Is there any means of disabling this command ?

Many Thanks

There seems to be greater interest for the script, so I send it to the
list.

I run the following script once a day at 7 a.m. All processes which are
started on the last day after 7 a.m. or on the days before are killed.
The entry in the crontab file looks like:

00 7 * * * <path>/kill_old_ftpd

and here is the script (for Solaris), called kill_old_ftpd

--- cut here ---
#!/bin/ksh
#
# killing old ftpd processes
#
ps -ef | grep 'ftpd -l' | cut -c 10-14,24-28 | while read -r pid1 std2
do
# echo '#'$std2'#'$pid1'#'
if [[ $std2 = ' Ja' || $std2 = 'Ja' ]]
then kill -9 $pid1
elif [[ $std2 = ' Fe' || $std2 = 'Fe' ]]
then kill -9 $pid1
elif [[ $std2 = ' Ma' || $std2 = 'Ma' ]]
then kill -9 $pid1
elif [[ $std2 = ' Ap' || $std2 = 'Ap' ]]
then kill -9 $pid1
elif [[ $std2 = ' Ju' || $std2 = 'Ju' ]]
then kill -9 $pid1
elif [[ $std2 = ' Au' || $std2 = 'Au' ]]
then kill -9 $pid1
elif [[ $std2 = ' Se' || $std2 = 'Se' ]]
then kill -9 $pid1
elif [[ $std2 = ' Oc' || $std2 = 'Oc' ]]
then kill -9 $pid1
elif [[ $std2 = ' No' || $std2 = 'No' ]]
then kill -9 $pid1
elif [[ $std2 = ' De' || $std2 = 'De' ]]
then kill -9 $pid1
elif [ $std2 -gt 7 ]
then kill -9 $pid1
fi
done
--- cut here ---

(for SunOS 4 the first line is
'ps -aux | grep 'ftpd -l' | cut -c 10-14,43-45 | while read -r pid1
std2')

You have to adjust the script to the name and the first option of your
wu-ftpd. In this case it is 'ftpd -l'. The first 10 if/elif's are needed
in case of processes which are older than one day.
Of course, the source doesn't look fine but it works.

Hi again,
I think it proper to say because I have been sent off list for a
while (the listserver doesn't seem to like me - it happened once
before).

Anyway, I have a problem:

A couple of days ago I installed an extra harddisk on our Sun Ultra 1
machine and this disk works excellently, but:

1. To start using the new immense disk space I made a symbolic link
from a directory in the chrooted ftp root of one of our guest users
and to a directory in the new file system on the new disk.

2. The link works fine for real logins but when, logged in as the
aforementioned guest, I try to cd to it I get:

550 forum: No such file or directory [forum is the name of the
directory (i.e. it's a symbolic link in the ftp root /home/sofi/
- the target directory it is linked to is /disk2/ftp/sofi/forum]

though forum is perfectly visible in the root with ls!

3. The link is o.k. and works for real ftp logins. The access rights
have been set to 777 temporarily in every part of the path just to
make sure access rights have got nothing to do with it.

4. My wu-ftpd version is wu-2.4(2) running on Solaris 2.5.1.

Sorry if this is too trivial. But I have searched and browsed the
FAQ and list archives without seeming to find that anybody had
exactly this problem. The crucial point seems to be that it happens
only with guest logins and so in some way must be connected to the
chroot mechanism.

Extremely grateful if somebody could elucidate me.

Best Regards,
Stig

Symbolic links are relative to the _active_ root which is different in a
chrooted environment. Chroot works *very* good.

Mount your new disk within the chrooted space or use a loopback mount if
the operating system provides this.

Hi Folks,

mention that the patches we almost ready for testing (that was back in
the beginning of December)....has anyone seen these patches?

"T's Mailing Lists" <[email protected]> suggested making an email alias 'ftp'
pointing to me, which seemed better and more secure than a .forward file

Thanks to all who offered suggestions, I think it's solved now...

Sorry to bother with this, but I did read the FAQ and also the message
when I suscribeb to this list, saying that the software is in:
ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/

And the message that says that I can't see the directory contents, so the
message will inform me of the actual filename to retrieve. That it's there

This is what I get:

--------------- BEGIN ---------------

FTP directory /pub/wu-ftpd/private/ at ftp.academ.com

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the ftp server for Academ Consulting Services.

It is the official ftp site for the following packages:

The NNTP Reference implementation
The RN news reader

It is the official ftp site for the UUCP maps for the State of Texas.

Local time in Houston, Texas, USA is Fri Feb 6 10:22:15 1998.
Users: 6 out of a total of 60 possible.

If you have any questions or problems, please send mail to
[email protected].

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to higher level directory

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------- END ----------

I can't find the name!!! Can anyone please tell how I can get the
latest wu-ftpd release?!

Thanx!

You may need to view it with a web browser.... anyway the path is

ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-16.tar.Z

make sure to download in binary (just type 'binary' once you are connected
and before the 'get')

I beleive this is caused by using Berkeley Yacc instead of GNU Bison or
vise-versa, but I could be wrong.

Hi support

I have a problem with my guestgroup setup. When I run ls command, the
error message is following:
230 User setest logged in. Access restrictions apply.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number.

Did I miss anything?

Please help.

Thanks.

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

Looks like you're compiling with the eevil, losing, bletcherous
/usr/ucb/cc. Don't. Use the nonbletcherous compiler (usually installed
in /opt/SUNWspro/bin) instead, or gcc if you prefer. Either should work
just fine.

I'm not behind a firewall, and when i upload a file, everything appears to
be working fine (it gives the upload time and so forth). i can upload
files fine with the version of ftp that came with the OS. the machine is:
SunOS machine 5.5.1 Generic sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-5
and the file is actually being stored on a RAID that the machine is
connected to. the weird thing is, i just tried uploading a different file
and it works. the two files are:

-rw------- 1 kbaucom 786 Feb 1 08:41 sr
-rw------- 1 kbaucom 1122909 Feb 7 01:22 mail/stats

the second one works, the first one doesn't.

here's a log entry from when i try to upload the files:

Sat Feb 7 00:13:50 1998 1 machine.domain.com 786
/ftp/pub/incoming/sr a _ i a [email protected] ftp 0 *

Sat Feb 7 02:05:56 1998 14 [email protected] 1122909
/ftp/pub/incoming/stats a _ i a [email protected] ftp 0 *

Then i tried ftp'ing from a different machine. first i tried a small file,
and it didn't work. then i tried a larger file and it did work.. it seems
that whenever i try to upload a relatively small file (a few kb), the size
ends up being zero, but if the file is larger (a couple hundred kb), it
works fine.

Hello,

I have installed a new release version wu-ftpd-2.4.2[beta-16]
under the Digital UNIX V4.0B with C2 secerity running on the
system. The installation went very well, and the ftpd is
also running fine under C2 secuiry BASE mode.

The problem is when I turn on C2 security to ENHANCED mode,
and unlock all users from 'dxaccounts' gui, and it won't allow
FTP users to log in, even the real users can not log in under FTP.

Could someone please send result on how to fix it to make it runs
under C2 security?

Regards,
/Pat

Hello,
I have installed the above version, and it is working OK when the line in
/etc/inetd.conf looks like this:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/tcpd /usr/local/etc/ftpd

When I add the parameters "-a -l" to the line, the ftp does not work.
I am using Digital Unix version 4.0b on DEC 3000. I am using the
following files for ftpaccess and xferlog:

# ls -l /usr/local/logs /usr/local/lib/ftpd/ftpaccess /var/log/xferlog
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 6494 Jan 26 14:30
/usr/local/lib/ftpd/ftpaccess

->/var/log/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 0 Jan 27 08:11 /var/log/xferlog

Is there anything wrong?

Thanks in advance,

That indicates that mail is not forwarded. Note that log tells final

You might want to check the permissions on your .forward file, i believe
it needs to be world readable.

Many thanks to Gregory Lundberg and Koos van den Hout for
enlightening me about symlinks and chrooted environments and thus
solving my problem. The problem really *is* trivial - once it's
solved :-).

I used a loopback mount of part of the new file system which I
mounted on a suitable directory inside the ftp root hierarchy.

The simple formula for loopback mounts follows for the benefit of
those who may need it (and are lucky to have a system which allows
it):

mount -F lofs <(part of) real file system> <new virtual mount point>

Good morning! (or whatever time reference is appropriate!)

I have stumbled across the cause of the mysterious "'dir' hangs my client's
output" problem.
(recap: running 2.4.2 beta 15 on Solaris 2.5.1, everything peachy-keen
until I started editing the ~ftp/etc/passwd file, then client ftp output
hung on the 'dir' command).

Embarassing, but true: I had 'cp'-ed the real /etc/passwd file into
~ftp/etc/ as root, but the umask for root was 137, so my new
~ftp/etc/passwd file had permissions of "-rw-r-----"....

Apparently the ftpd process couldn't read the passwd file! (I'm a little
confused, since the ftpd process runs under the root UID, I would have
thought this wouldn't have been an issue. On the other hand, I understand
that there's a switch from UID 0 to a generic system process UID, right?)

Well, in any case, setting the permissions to world-read on the file
cleared things up right away.

thanks for everyone's kind remarks and suggestions!

I have an incoming directory:

Is there any way to prevent *any* directories from being made in it?

Thanks

That one is readable for other ftp visitors so they can see what others
leave there. It's better if they can't like :

# ls -lad incoming
drwx-wx-wt 2 root 69 1024 Dec 12 12:04 incoming/

> Is there any way to prevent *any* directories from being made in it?

upload /ftp/ftp /pub/incoming yes root daemon 0600 nodirs

ownership to something else then ftp/ftp, not readable for ftp clients and
the 'nodirs' keyword.

Sofar, this setup has kept my ftp site clean.

Thank you, that worked perfectly.

I keep forgetting there's a separate manpage for 'ftpaccess'... my apologies
for not RTFM

Hi all,

This posting is a thank you of sorts and a way for me to help out others
who are just installing wu-ftp and guest accounts. Thanks again to all
who withstood my onslaught of questions.

Here is a help sheet for SGI of WU-FTP and guest ftp accounts for IRIX
6.2 & 6.4.

This what worked for me (I hope I didn't leave anything out...)

Installing WU/FTP

1) Download the installer from:
ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-16.tar.Z
(the "16" reflects the version. Check to see which release is the most
current)
2) Uncompress it in a logical directory.
3) Read and follow the instructions in INSTALL.
3a) DO NOT copy the .gen files to .sgi as indicated
3b) from the directory you uncompressed wu-ftp, issue: ./build sgi
you may get some warnings, but no errors
3c) make a backup of your existing ftp daemon (probably in
/usr/etc/ftpd)
3d) issue: ./build install
This creates a new ftpd. It may be helpful to create a new path for
this new ftpd and reflect this in /etc/inetd.conf. An example is
/usr/etc/wuftp/ftpd. You'll copy the newly created ftpd to this
directory and keep the original in its current location. This is
helpful for debugging.
4) Edit /etc/inetd.conf to point to the new ftp deamon. This file
should look something like this:
...
#ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/ftpd ftpd -d
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/wuftp/ftpd ftpd
-dla
..
* for chrooted guest accounts, be sure to run it with the -a option
5) restart inetd.conf by issuing the following command:
/etc/killall -HUP inetd
6) copy the "ftponly" shell to your shell directory. Something like
/bin/ftponly.
change the permissions to 755
7) edit /etc/shells to register this shell with the system. It should
look like:
..
/bin/ftponly
/bin/csh
/bin/sh
..
8) Create this directory:
/usr/local/lib/ftpd/
9) Create the ftpaccess file within /usr/local/lib/ftpd/
It should look very similar to this:
..
guestgroup client

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

readme README* login
readme README* cwd=*

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

compress yes all
tar yes all

log commands real
log transfers anonymous,real inbound, outbound

shutdown etc/shutmsg
email [email protected]

path-filter guest /etc/pathmsg ^[-A-Za-z0-9_\.]*$ ^\. ^-
..
*NOTE: The group you specify in 'guestgroup' (in this case, client) must
exist in /etc/group.
All of the guest users will be a part of this group.
10) create the ftpusers file within /usr/local/lib/ftpd/
This file is blank and is not used in this application.
11) create the directory /usr/local/lib/ftpd/pids
12) create the file 'all' within /usr/local/lib/ftpd/pids
this file is also blank, but the ftpd process ID is written here.
13) check your system for the following libraries:

c_dev.sw.speclib
compiler_dev.sw.specllib

These libraries are necessary for the ls command to function properly in
a chrooted environment.
If you do not have these, consult your SGI utility disks or the SGI
site.

14) Download the latest gnu fileutilities
15) Read the INSTALL file for instructions
15a) issue: ./configure
15b) Edit the src and lib Makefiles.
Make sure the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS are set to "-non_shared" before
building
OR
setenv CFLAG -non_shared
setenv LDFLAG -non_shared
* NOTE: If you run configure after you make these changes, your changes
will be reset to the original default values.
15c) run make
15d) Within the src directory you should have created a new ls
excecutable. issue 'file ls' and make sure it returns this file type:

ls: ELF 32-bit MSB mips-2 excecutable (not stripped) MIPS version1
*NOTE: you will copy this version of 'ls' to the /bin directory of each
chrooted guest's directory.

Creating chrooted guest accounts

16) edit /etc/group to create a group account for which all guest users
will be associated.
example:
..
client::103:
..
17) edit /etc/passwd to create a guest user.
example:
..
myguest:x:1000:103:guestftp:/your_system_root.../.../.../doc_roots/your_clients_doc_root/./:/bin/ftponly

..
*NOTE: the '/./' indicates the directory that will be chrooted.
18) Within chroot of your guest's account, create the following
directories:

~/myguest/bin dev lib etc
*change permissions to 555 for each. Change ownership to root for each

19) in ~myguest/etc, create a passwd and group file.
These should be very scaled down for security and really only include
the 1 line you added to the system's group and passwd files. Change
permissions on these files to 444. Change ownership to root.
20) in ~myguest/bin, copy the version of ls you made in step 15d.
Change permissions to 755 and wonership to root.
21) in ~myguest/dev, issue the following command:
mknod zero c 37 0
Change permissions to 444.
22) To insure that all of this was configured correctly, an 'ls -l ./*'
at ~myguest should yeild:
ps 7% ls -l ./*
/bin:
total 544
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 275036 Feb 6 16:51 ls

/dev:
total 0
crw-r--r-- 1 root sys 37, 0 Feb 4 12:11 zero

/etc:
total 16
-r--r--r-- 1 root sys 64 Feb 6 14:36 group
-r--r--r-- 1 root sys 49 Feb 6 14:37 passwd
23) Add the following security touches:

cd to ~myguest
touch .rhosts .forward
chown root.root .rhosts .forward

Good Luck!

Pink elephants with an attitude inspired Harshal Savalia <[email protected]> to tell garfield.mail.wu-ftpd:

: I have one querry. Does wu-ftpd follows all CERT advisories and
: includes fixes for it?
Yes, it even does your laundry if you ask it nicely.

But seriously... would you expect anyone to use wu-ftpd if it didn't act on
*relevant* CERT advisories?

Relatedly: is there a place where one can find the various holes in
different versions?

No, I don't want to exploit them, in fact I want to give compelling reasons
for some FTP sites I know to update.

Well yes..... I knew that... I was looking for something a little more
succinct such as (note: I made these up)

REV: PROBLEM: COULD RESULT IN:
2.1.1 core dumps root password visible
2.1 Port redirects ftp bounce attacks
2.0 buffer overflows remote root access

It should be an easy process to grep the source for the '421' and find
out what causes this error. The list archives might have a thread on
it also.

It could be a lot of things... I guess you checked that the user name and
password is correct,- right ?
Also is your system using shadow passwords? If your system is using shadow
passwords and you don't compile shadow into wu-ftpd than you will get the
error message "login failed". To complile shadow into wu-ftpd simply read
the NOTES files...

actually, I don't even get prompted for a password. I
simply enter a userid (which is definitely a valid user)
and then I get booted out with that error!

Um .. do you have a file named /etc/ftpshut ? Try deleting it if you do.

Oh. I guess that's not what I want.

Here's the start of /etc/ftpaccess

class mccc anonymous,real *.mccc.edu 198.133.170.*
class nonmccc anonymous,real *

I have staff members who use our ftp server from on campus
and -- by IP address -- are members of the "mccc" class.
When they dial in through our terminal server, they are
members of the "mccc" class. But if they use an outside ISP
and ftp from a "foreign" IP address, they become "nonmccc".

I have a limit on the number of nonmccc logins because
we're a NetScape mirror site.

Do you think you could show me how I can get the
"foreigners" to be in a class that's not "nonmccc". There
are too many of them and they use a whole bunch of
different IP addresses, so it's not feasible to try to
spell out the IP addresses in a "class" declaration.

"Guest" is not for them as it would wreak havoc on their
normal shell logins -- or have I misread something?

Thanks,
Pete

It would be--if it were a server-generated message. But remember that
"421 Service not available..." is actually generated by the _client_ (may
whoever decided to make it look like a server message suffer for eternity).
Most of the time, this indicates that the server crashed (probably a
segmentation fault); a check of the syslog will tell for sure--look for
something like "wu-ftpd[12345]: exiting on signal 11".

Guest access shouldn't interfere with anything else (like shells).
The only changes it requires are inserting a "/./" at the appropriate point
in the home directory path where the user should be chrooted to and (if
necessary) changing the group number in /etc/passwd to a group which
includes all and only the users to grant guest access to. Then add the
line "guestgroup <groupname>" to /etc/ftpaccess and they will be given
guest access (you'll probably want to define a class for them too). More
detailed info is in the guest HOWTO:

That's exactly what pranced by in my xconsole window as I tested my new
binary. In fact, -a, -d and -v all caused the SIGSEGV (segmentation
violation). However, when I remove the -a server option from /etc/inetd.conf
the server runs, but that doesn't turn on all the "extended features" which
make it worth switching to from DEC's native ftpd in the first place.

There's a bug in wu-ftpd beta 15 (16? uh whatever's current .. it's been a
long day) with having only one option on the command line. Try both -l
and -a on the line.

Subject: Strange beta 16 behavior

Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Hi all

I recently installed beta 16 on my MkLinux box. Interestingly if I
issue ftpwho command I get the following output.

Service class all:
3935 ? S 0:00 sendmail: uhunix1.its.hawaii.edu: anonymous/joe@: IDLE
- 1 users ( 10 maximum)
( 10 maximum)

Note that instead of "ftpd", "sendmail" appears in the above output. Even
"ps -ax|grep sendmail" shows it.

54 ? S 0:00 sendmail: accepting connections on port 25
3939 p1 S 0:00 grep sendmail
3935 ? S 0:00 sendmail: uhunix1.its.hawaii.edu: anonymous/joe@: IDLE

Apart from this everything works fine. This is quite strange. This doesn't
happen in 15 so I am now back to beta 15. Can someone shed some light on
this?

TIA

Subject: Solaris 2.5.1...

This is probably an FAQ, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere so
here goes...

Anonymous ftp.
I just compiled up wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-16 on a Solaris 2.5.1 box.
Regular ftping works fine. When I try to do anonymous ftping to
the box it logs me in fine, but as soon as I do an ls I get:
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): No such file or directory.
ftp>

Okay, now I don't think it's that I'm missing the required libraries
as if I do a chroot to the anonymous area I can ls to my hearts content.

Just to be sure, here is whats in the area:
scott:ftp-> ls -al bin/ usr/lib/
bin/:

dr-xr-xr-x 2 root other 512 Feb 11 16:18 .

There was a typo in beta 16 .. actually when the code from sendmail 8.8
was imported, the author forgot to change the string literal 'sendmail' to
'wuftpd'. Grep the source code and you'll find the literal and can change
it yourself.

Found it! It's on line 3789 of src/ftpd.c. I recompiled and installed
wu.ftpd. Now everything is perfect. Thank you very much.

I do. You're missing several, in fact.

Review the Sun (not wu-ftpd) in.ftpd man page. For 2.5.1 you also need to
add libmp.so.*, though that's not what's causing that particular problem.
Don't forget to check ~ftp/dev against the man page too.

I'm probably not the best to answer the question about shell logins
and /./, as I have no users that do this and don't know what the
effects are.

For offsite campus personnel, I would collect a list of the ISPs that
they use and lump them into a class; it's been awhile since I looked
at this, but I think you can have multiple ftpaccess lines for a given
class. I don't know any other reasonable way to do it, though it may
not be low maintenance.

Sorry about missing the obvious answer on the 421 error; too much
going too quickly to read much of anything closely now. I'm glad Andy
pointed that out.

This may happen if the number of FTP users is full, but there is no

Indeed. Even the very term '425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20):' is
mentioned in the faq separately.

You are missing /dev and associated entries. Look at the script for
generating the anonymous area which is on the manpage of the Solaris (!)
ftpd.

hi

I'm continuing to have problems uploading small files using beta 15 and
sunos 5.5.1. basically, if i try to upload a file less than ~20k, it ends
up with the file size zero. if it's larger, it works fine. everything
appears to be fine with guest and real user uploads. i've tried uploading
from several different machines and the behavior is persistent, although
the file size that is required for a successful upload fluctuates
slightly.

does anyone have any idea what might be going on?

No, but I'll tell you what it sounds like to me: the same sort of
thing that happens if you do something like "telnet some.host 25 < file".
(For those who've never tried, what happens is that telnet opens the
connection, then tries to read data; but since it hits end-of-file almost
instantly, it closes the connection right away again without actually
sending any data.) Maybe this is an odd client or proxy bug?

But the how-to says that the shell has to be
"/etc/ftponly". Or can it be any valid shell?

The howto does not say that it has to be /etc/ftponly, but it also is
not clear because that is the only example I gave. In general, for
FTP purposes, you can put anything you want as the shell in
/etc/passwd, as long as that string is in /etc/shells.

I recompiled again this morning, then pointed /etc/inetd.conf to the
new-new ftpd (without a -a) then did a
refresh -s inetd
and now seems to be working
:-)

thanks for ALL the help!

If you're going to run it without the -a (and I assume without any
other flags) then you are not enabling any of the features that make wu-ftpd
more special than the ftpd that ships with your OS (unless your shipped ftpd
is really problematic for performance or security), so why bother?
I'm running Digital UNIX v4.0b (patch as005) and I get the "exiting on
signal 11" error as well when I start the server with any flags. Until I
can run Beta-16 with the -a flag, I'm staying at my old version which does use
the ftpaccess file.

PS: Unless there's something else I don't know, there wasn't any need to
recompile the binary if you were just going to change your inetd.conf entry.

So you should grab the patch for beta-16 posted on december 29 to the
list:

"Re: beta-16 dies with single parm."

http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/mail-archive/1997/Dec/0235.html

This also fixes the lately mentioned 'sendmail' message.

I don't know if this is related, but I've seen something similar, for
which I found a work around even though I still don't know the cause.
What I observed was that for some (not all) small files I tried to
upload, a size zero file would be created and I would receive a
'permission denied' message from the server EVERY time I tried to
upload that specific file (I removed the size zero file between
attempts). If I moved the file to another name before I 'put' it, I
saw the same behavior (i.e. the filename isn't the problem). If I did
the following procedure (at the unix command line, prior to anonftp)

'cp -p problemfile okfile; rm problemfile; mv okfile problemfile'

the anonftp upload worked fine. The only difference between the two
attempts that I can see is that the file's inode changed. I've seen
this problem occur for 3 different files so far (all <1KB files), on a
wuftpd beta 16, sunos 5.4 system. Thus far, the "copy, remove, move"
tactic has gotten around the problem each time.

Sorry about the offtopic blast about Apache's mod_bandwidth. The
original question on another list also involved wu-ftpd, and I
responded too quickly and sent it to the wrong list.

hi there...

i have compiled and installed the latest version of wu-ftpd.2.4(84). I
have downloaded this so that i may enable virtual ftp hosting on one of
our servers. Problem is that when i restart inetd, and connect to the
host, i get kicked out if i log in anonymous. I can log in as a normal
users, just not with anon login. ftp comes back with the following :

o Name (localhost:root): anonymous
o 331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.
o Password:
o 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
o Login failed.
o No control connection for command: Illegal seek

I have not even started playing aroung with the virtual host option. what
is wrong on my side? (i have tried it on several machines, and continually
the same problem - maybe its something in the code ?)

This is what the entry in my inetd.conf for ftp is :

o ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/etc/ftpd -i -l

Please, if anyone could help me, i would greatly appreciate it.
Btw, i am running slackware 3.0, and kernel 2.0.33.

thanks in advance
paul

I presume you mean you're running 2.4.2 Beta 16. If not, you should
download and run it instead.

There's a bug in beta 16 which causes problems like this, a patch was
posted in December.

Could someone give me a detailed account on how
to set up wu-ftp to execute shell commands ...
cmod would be the perfect example. I checked the faq, but
couldn't find exact step by step instructions.

Did I need to do anything at compilation time? I
put an executable by all copy in ftp-exec directory,
and also modified the ftpaccess file, yet still
have problems!

Thanks
Guy

We just updated FTP server to version wu-2.4 beta 16 on SunOS 4.1.4
All the pathnames are default.
The ftpd on /etc/inetd.conf:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/in.ftpd in.ftpd -L -l -o -i -a

ftpaccess is on /usr/local/lib/ftpd/ftpaccess
extsvr# grep welcome ftpaccess
message /usr/local/lib/ftpd/msgs/welcome.msg login
extsvr# ls -la /usr/local/lib/ftpd/msgs/welcome.msg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 336 Feb 11 09:20
/usr/local/lib/ftpd/msgs/welcome.msg
extsvr# pwd
/usr/local/lib/ftpd

but 'anonymous' login didn't display welcome message.
It seems that '-a' option doesn't work.
(the wu-2.4(1) version can display welcome message while login)

What do I missing?

Thanks for help.

Hello,
I install wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 16 in Sun Solaris 2.5.1. I have
problem about "ftpwho" command.

# ftpwho

why it show "in.ftpd -a"?

By default 'ftpd' runs out of inetd.conf as root,

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/ftpd ftpd

I am wondering if this is necessary. Could I make a different UID and run
processes as that user? (ie 'notroot')

ftp stream tcp nowait notroot /usr/etc/ftpd ftpd

I realize that 'notroot' would have to be able to read/write to the
appropriate ftp files...

Just wondering why it starts as root... does it need to?

I didn't see this in the docs... if I should have please point out where.

Thanks!

I believe because the ports for ftp are < 1024 it needs to run as root to
open them.

Yes, it needs to be started by root. Services below 1024 require root
permission to bind to them.

You'll notice that it spawns a copy of itself to actually handle the user
connection once the remote user logs in. It then runs as that user, and
not root.

I recently installed wu-ftpd 2.4 on Solaris 2.5.1
When ftp'ing from a PC (PC/TCP 3.1) I intermittently get the following error
:

Can't build data connection : Cannot assign requested address.

It seems that transferring some files succeeds the first time, the second
time it does not work
unless you wait a substantial amount of time (minutes). I end the
ftp-sessions with a 'QUIT'.
I think I should tune the server but I don't know what to do.

i am actually running virtual.wu-ftp. This seems to be the standard

thanks for the reply any way. But it did not seem to work. Besides this
bug fix just seemed to fix the output of ps (could be VERY wrong tho ;)

So, again - Has anyone tries setting up virtual ftp'ing? Why does the damn
thing die everytime i make an anon connection. Do i need to set up IP
aliasing? do i create an /etc/virtual/x.x.x.x file (virtual-wuftp) or
modify the /etc/ftpaccess (wu-ftp with virtual support).

I am not too sure as to what the difference is ;) Please could someone
explain to me. I have read documetaion, man pages... so please - help!

thanks
paul

hi all,

i have now put BETA-16 on my server, and am now playing around with
/etc/ftpacess. There is one thing that i am not clear on...
Do i need to set up ip aliasing on my ethernet interface?

ie, eth0:0 would be the servers ip address?
eth0:1 the virtual ftp servers ip address????? this is my unserstanding
this does not make sense. If the ftp server has their own IP, then
what the hell do they need a virtual ftp host for? I am obviously
wrong about this.

this means that for every ftp domain i wish to host, i have to put the
same ip address in?

eg, in /etc/ftpaccess, it could read

virtual x.x.x.x <root|banner|logfile> /virt/ftp/domain1 (etc,)
virtual x.x.x.x <root|banner|logfile> /virt/ftp/domain2 (etc,)
virtual x.x.x.x <root|banner|logfile> /virt/ftp/domain3 (etc,)
virtual x.x.x.x <root|banner|logfile> /virt/ftp/domain4 (etc,)

where the only thing that differs is the domain's directories?
i can see why the ip address' stay the same. How does wu-ftpd know which
domain is trying to be accessed... These may sound daft ;) but i am in
need of some answers (and i have checked a LOT of documentation, and none
of it actually goies into details of how to setup a virtual domain).

ok, thanks alot,
cheers
paul

2.4 had a LOT of bugs and security problems. Try 2.4.2 beta 16.

----

The location of the latest version of wu-ftpd can be found in the
directory

ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/

You can't see the directory contents, so read the message informing you
of the actual filename to retrieve. It's there.

Yes. wu-ftpd determines which virtual host to use by looking at the
IP address to which the client connected. The FTP protocol spec doesn't
define any way to pass a hostname, the way HTTP 1.1 does, and even if we
added a SITE command to allow such a feature, support for it would still
need to be added to all the FTP clients out there. So yes, you need to set
up a separate IP address for each virtual server.

But what is the point of setting a virtual ftp server for someone who
already has his own IP address? He might as well just put an ftpd on his

You'd need some IP trickery to do it, but it could be done. Whether
you want to is a completely separate issue--that's for you to decide.

Subject: guest dir creation
X-Mts: smtp
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

Hello,

I am using Version wu-2.4(1) of wu-ftpd on a digital
unix machine. I have several guest users setup and an
anonymous area also. Here is an entry in the ftpaccess
file:

upload /ftp /incoming/test yes root prd 0660 nodirs

The documentation indicates that the upload lines only
pertain to anonymous users. When a guest user tries to
create a directory in test, this error appears:

530 foo: Permission denied. (Upload)

The directory test has group write for the guest users.
When I change the upload line from "nodirs" to "dirs",
it works fine. My question is, why can't the guest users
create directories (if the upload line only pertains to
anonymous users)?

Thanks,

You should get the latest beta and go over the guest howto carefully;
that, the FAQ and other resources should get you going.

I'm having the similar problem.
We create a 'admin' account and we want only 'admin' login
can upload to /pub directory.
the entry on ftpaccess is:
upload /home/ftp /pub yes admin admin 0600 dirs
But when we put data to /pub, it shows:
530: Permission denied. (Upload)
Even we changed /home/ftp/pub owned by 'admin'.
What do we need to setup for non-anonymous account to upload
to pub directory?

Is anyone working on incorporating 'ls' directly into wu-ftpd? That way,
admins wouldn't have to worry about system libs and permissions (or
recompiling statically) for each anon or guest user (I've seen quite a few
posts about this on the archives), and save disk space. Plus, it could
speed up performance and increase security. (No need to spawn an external
system call to '/bin/ls'). As for security, for instance, say that some
'just got Linux, going to run an FTP site' admin out there sets the
permissions of ~ftp/bin/ls to 777. Now anyone could replace it with a
trojan horse or virus (as long as it spits back the dir list, nobody would
notice).

I've been playing around with it for a few hours. Unfortunately, C itself
(as far as I know) has no standard directory functions (just file I/O). For
instance, on Linux there's a scandir() function - but this is nonstandard.
Probably the most portable way is to opendir(), loop with readdir()
(calling stat() on each file), then closedir() and return the file list the
same way 'ls' does. Of course, adding some argument parsing for wildcards,
etc. I'm not sure which OS's support these functions, though. Any C hackers
out there have any suggestions?

Also, what about adding a 'virtual user' feature into wu-ftpd. Not the
guest user we have now, but one that doesn't really exist on the system. It
could be a ftpaccess option - either by pulling from a separate passwd file
(ala .htaccess in Apache) or having the username and password directly in
the ftpaccess. Maybe I'll take a shot at this when I get the time :)

Maybe some of the developers should take a look at the code from ProFtpd
(http://www.proftpd.org). It's new and not as stable as wu-ftpd, but it has
more configuration options and features.

If anyone out there has any comments, please let me know.

Thanks,

Allen

What's the trick to get failed ftp logins to be logged
somewhere (Solaris 2.6)? We've tried all the known
syslog.conf tricks but nothing works.

Use -v on your inetd.conf command-line as well as:

*.info /var/log/info.log
*.notice /var/log/notice.log
*.err /var/log/err.log

in syslog.conf. Be sure to note that there are tabs between the two
columns.

telnet/rlogin/ssh all look for /etc/nologin ... is there a way to make
wu-ftp do the same ?

This is for a small private ftp site and I want to easily limit all access
at given times....

Thanks

You can use ftpshut for that, which creates /etc/shutmsg containing when
the ftp server went down.

You can easily modify the code to use /etc/nologin instead, but I'm not
sure if telnet/rlogin/ssh expect it to be zero-length, like I suspect..

Remove /etc/shutmsg to bring the server back online.

I changed the 'ftpaccess' file to:

shutdown /etc/nologin

but it does not work if just anything is there, it has to conform to the
wu-ftp format:

% ftpshut now "FTP Server is off"
% cat /etc/nologin
1998 01 14 21 06 0010 0005
FTP Server is off

> but I'm not sure if telnet/rlogin/ssh expect it to be zero-length,
> like I suspect..

No, there can be a message in /etc/nologin.... and it can be the format above....

I'm not entirely clear what the first line is but I guess that can suffice.

Sorry, thought I made that clear in the first message.

I guess the point I was making is will telnet/rlogin/ssh print that
message to the screen if it exists? Knowing that wu-ftpd will write data
to that file led me to believe you don't want to mix the two files.

Why not just create a shell script called 'ftpup' that simply removes
/etc/ftpshut? That way you don't have to remember its filename, and you
can also have ftp disabled without allowing telnet access at the same
time.

> I'm not entirely clear what the first line is but I guess that can suffice.

Its a date stamp to determine when/how long the server has been down..

Well, I want to tell telnet/rlogin/ssh users the same message as ftp users,
so it works rather well.

The datestamp is probably innocuous enough to include

Thanks!

I have a server (Sun, Solaris 2.5.?) running wu-ftpd, and I have an Apache
web server where I've set up multiple directories under the server root -
each for a separate user.

Each user has an ftponly account on the machine, and I'm trying to get
things set up so that they ftp directly into their subdirectory.

I've tried setting up things as follows:

in /etc/passwd, home directories are specified something like:
/../sites/sitename/htdocs/./username

in ftpaccess, I've got a line stating:
guestgroup ftponly foo

where "foo" is a group that contains all members on the server

for several other users, who are in group ftponly, everything works fine

for users in group foo, I can log in, and a pwd gives: "/username" but an
ls gives: Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number.

if I remove "foo" from the guestgroup statement, then everything works,
but the pwd gives a fully specified pathname

any ideas/help would be much apprecited

Thanks very much,

Miles Fidelman

You are most likely missing some of the necessary libraries. Read the
in.ftpd man page from solaris to find the necessary ones. I have:

ld.so libintl.so.1 libw.so.1 nss_nis.so.1
ld.so.1 libmp.so.1 nss_compat.so.1 nss_nisplus.so.1
libc.so.1 libnsl.so.1 nss_dns.so.1 straddr.so
libdl.so.1 libsocket.so.1 nss_files.so.1

The ones not ending in .1 are not necessary, but can otherwise be symlinks
to their respective ones ending in .1

Hi,

Is it possible to set the umask in wu-ftpd so that direcotries or files
created in ftp session will have mode 775 and 664 respectively?? Should I
change any source code of wu-ftpd or do it in /etc/ftpaccess?

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps there is a permission problem with that user trying to get to
~ftp/usr/lib?

It should be from ~ftp:

d--x--x--x 9 root root 512 Feb 14 15:24 .
d--x--x--x 4 root root 512 Jan 17 02:39 usr
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Jan 17 02:39 usr/lib

Also, have you made sure you've installed all the other files that are
necessary, like zoneinfo, and the files in ~ftp/dev? ~ftp/dev should look
like:

d--x--x--x 2 root root 512 Jan 8 14:48 .
d--x--x--x 9 root root 512 Feb 14 15:24 ..
crw-r--r-- 1 root other 13, 2 Jan 7 01:27 null
crw-rw-r-- 1 root other 11, 42 Jan 7 01:27 tcp
crw-rw-r-- 1 root other 105, 1 Jan 7 01:27 ticotsord
crw-rw-r-- 1 root other 11, 41 Jan 7 01:27 udp
crw-rw-r-- 1 root other 13, 12 Jan 7 01:27 zero

'man ftpshut' and see if this will do what you want.

The list archives will have good answers on this. Basically:

1. -u??? command line option
2. ftpaccess 'upload' directive
3. ftpd.c CMASK

The terribly easy way out would probably be to yank as much source as
possible from the ls in the GNU fileutils, thus basically compiling ls
into ftpd...replacing the exec with function calls.

turns out that it has to do with having to replicate ../etc ../usr and the
like at the same level as the user directories people are accessing

thanks for all the help!

Hello,

I'd like to use several virtual domains for one user but could not find out how
to do it.

I run several virtual domains and sometimes one user owns more than one domain.
Right now there must be a different login for each virtual server to get the
user into the appropriate directory.
The user already decided which virtual server he wants to use by the ftp address
he uses, so why should he use different logins?

What I have looks like:

user1 on vhost1 -> /home/host1
user2 on vhost2 -> /home/host2
user2 on vhost1 -> denied
user2 on vhost3 -> denied
user3 on vhost3 -> /home/host3 (same user as user1)

What I'd like to have is:

user1 on vhost1 -> /home/host1
user2 on vhost2 -> /home/host2
user1 on vhost3 -> /home/host3

My problem is how to move one user to different starting directories with only
one entry in /etc/passwd.

Is there any way to get this done?

Harry

That's exactly what I did. I got the source to GNU ls, renamed main() to
ls_main(), changed the makefiles around a little, and just linked it in. I
had to changed the options passed to it by wu-ftpd so that it would not look
for /etc/passwd (In my system, I also do away with /etc/passwd because I
have way too many users).

So will you be sending in the patches, or is this proprietary to Prodigy?

Next we'll have people linking in GNU tar and GNU zip. :)

It could limit the possibility of abusing tar ..

I've read "guesthowto" and set up everything "by the book", but my guest
users are getting logged in to the root directory (I guess chroot is
failing).

I am running wu-ftpd v2.4(1), compiled from source on a DEC Alpha with Gcc
on Digital Unix 4.0
(I used all default options to build and install).

I want all my guest users to share a common root, so my password entries
look like;

jdoe:*:123:23:John Doe:/usr/guests/./jdoe:/etc/ftponly

my etc/group has entry

ftpguests::23:jdoe,...

I have set up bin and etc dirs under /usr/guests, and copied all relevant
files thereto.

I know that my guests are being seen as such by ftpd because it gives the
message;
(access restrictions apply) after login.

Any ideas ?

In sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk packages/mirror/experimental/wu-2.4.2-upd13.shar
there are a bunch of patches that I did to improve the performance of wuftpd
here on SunSITE.

Here are the notes on the two performance related patches:

DAEMON
If ftpd called with -D then run as a standalone daemon listing on the
ftp port. This can speed up ftpd response as all ftpd then needs to
do is fork off a copy to handle an incoming request. Under inetd
a new copy has to be opened and exec'd.

FILEWHAT
If SETPROCTITLE doesn't work or if you have so many users that ps
takes a long time then FILEWHAT keeps the info in a file so that
ftpcount can just print it.

Jon-

It's not practical for me to submit patches, because linking in
the ls was a real hack the way I did it, and would have to be worked
into the makefiles in a much better way to be really useful. The rest of it
is very much glued to proprietary Prodigy Internet libraries and databases
that wouldn't be useful to anyone else. Basically, what I did was make a
server that can run with NOTHING in the chrooted file system, that gets the
user information from a relational database with no need for unix user ids
or unix quotas (I added a routine to check quota against the database).
So I can handle a -lot- of users.

One day it would be nice to have a simple API where all the user stuff plugs
in, so that it would be possible to swap in different user databases
(/etc/passwd would be standard).

But anyway, if anyone wanted to do any of this I would be glad to help. But
I can't give out my code.

Note: I'm new in this list, don't know if this topic has been
discussed before.

We needed to control the access to the FTP based on
the IP addresses which are grouped into subnets. The
standard <addrglob> syntax is not very usefull in this
situation, so here is a little patch extending the syntax
for <addrglob> also to IP/netmask (in dot notation).

Example:

class rclass real 172.16.10.96/255.255.255.224
# matches all addresses in the range from
# 172.16.10.96 to 172.16.10.127.

Hi,

Here at our ftp site we were having problems because the machine went
to really poor performance when a few people were doing tar's and
gzip's (some funny people like doing things like 'get redhat.tar.gz').

Situation got better making tar and gzip be executed with a nice value
(I also did it for ls -R). The easy trick is:

cd ~ftp/usr/bin
mv tar nicetar
gcc nicetar.c -o tar

and nicetar.c is:

#include <unistd.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[]) {
nice(16);
execve("/usr/bin/nicetar",argv,envp);
exit(1);
}

Let's hope some people find better ways of limiting resources :-)

Regards,

Javier Puche.

Not quite !

This setup won't allow passive mode connections on a Solaris box - which will
stop some browsers from working with the system.

~ftp/dev/tcp needs to be world-writeable to allow pasive mode.
See the FAQ question 9.13 for more details...
(http://www.cetis.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html#QA56)

On my system, tcp, ticotsord, udp and zero are all set to 666, because
that's how they are set in the (non-ftp root) /dev, and I simply copied
the settings. I'm not sure if anything other than tcp need to be
world-writeable, though.

Cheers, Bob

Hello. I'm having troubles with wu-ftp-2.4-26+multihomed.
I get it, compiled, but it doesn't work.
All times that I enter the username and password, the system give me
this message: "550 Can't set guest privileges."

Anyone have ideas to solve this problem ?

Thanks in advance.

Would someone kindly provide some examples of both legal

wu-ftpd can make sense of, and some that are malformed.

Howdy. I keep getting hundreds onf FTP session's closed... although, intuatively you would
expect to have one opened first. Has anyone seen this kind of behaviour before ? what is broken ?

Stats are , Solaris 2.5.2, wuftpd2.4.2-15.

Upgrading is necessary if you care about security and stability. You
also won't get any support from this list on this version.

Go over the guest howto again and follow all steps WRT installing ls.
You probably installed a dynamically linked ls, which requires
libraries to be installed in the chroot area also.

As a matter of fact we did do a little work to patch WU-FTPD to use LDAP
authentication.
It is in place and being thoroughly tested at the the present. We did a
lot of in-house development to which I am not privy to release, but what
I can say is:

We did develop code to return a pointer identical to the one returned by
getpwnam, if you have a look at the man pages for LDAP or at the book
LDAP by Tim Howes, Ph.D and Mark Smith, you can practically build you
own getLDAP library.

If you develop a getLDAP similar to the getpwnam, you can simply replace
the code references to getLDAP and remove the SHADOW passwd option in
your compile.

That was all it took.
I am unfortunately not able to release you the source code... but I
think you have the general idea anyway.

Having read the following thread and built wu-beta-16 which defaults the SGI
config file to SPT_NONE, I am still getting logging in GMT. The beta-13
daemons have functioned fine on both 5.3 and 6.2 for almost a year now, but
the number of machines have multiplied so that our automated advisories
scripting is freaking out and it would be greatly simplified by registering
the correct localtime. Any ideas folks?

Why in the world not? The releases keep iteratively fixing more and more

bugs that have been found.

Beta-16 first. Then ask again later if troubles persist

Sounds very much like you have not built a static 'ls'.
After the beta-16 build install and a build of a non-dynamically-linked
'ls', you might want to mention what OS you are dealing with if this continues.

A number of people have explained that this is required because the ftp
port is less than 1024. This is partially true though ftpd only opens
the data port and this doesn't have to be less than 1024. You need to
run as root so that you can become another user and, in the case of
anonymous ftp, so that you can chroot.

Hi,

have been playing around with virtual servers, and it works
just fine.

My question is this: can I have one user "anonymous" per virtual
server? (Have compiled the 2.4.2-BETA-16 with -DVIRTUAL support)

Server is running on Solaris 2.5.1

Kind regards,

Subject: SUMMARY: [guest dir creation]
X-Mts: smtp
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

My original question was "Why do my guest
users get this error: 530 foo: Permission denied. (Upload)
when trying to create a directory?" The entry
in the ftpaccess file is:

upload /ftp /incoming/test yes root prd 0660 nodirs

which should only disallow anonymous users from creating
directories. What I did to allow the guest users to create
dirs (and not the anonymous users) was to modify the entry
in the passwd file from:

guest:<password>:<UID>:<GID>:Guest ftp user:/ftp/./incoming:/bin/ftponly

to

guest:<password>:<UID>:<GID>:Guest ftp user:/ftp/incoming/./:/bin/ftponly

The only difference that I have noticed for the guest users is that when
they log in and do a pwd, they get this:

257 "/" is current directory.

when they used to get this:

257 "/incoming" is current directory.

Which really doesn't effect the chroot'd environment at all.

Greetings!

I'm having a bit of a problem allowing anonymous users to upload files to
the /incoming directory.

We are running (Version wu-2.4(1) - (yes, I know it's old, and I *will*
upgrade, but I'd like to get this solved first). The system is a BSD 3.1
server using the ftpd that came with the OS.

Basically, when I try to follow the instructions in the faq to permit
secure uploads, anonymous users get the following error message:

553 Could not determine cwdir: Permission denied.

If I do not call the ftpaccess file and make the permissions on /incoming
rwxrwxrwt, it works fine. But as soon as I take out the read bit, I run
into problems.

The ftp daemon's home directory is /var/spool/ftpdirs/ftp

Here are the permissions on /var/spool/ftpdirs/ftp:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Oct 14 08:01 bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Oct 14 08:21 etc
drwx--x--x 2 root wheel 512 Oct 14 08:01 hidden
drwx-wx-wt 2 root wheel 512 Feb 17 20:49 incoming
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Feb 2 21:28 pub
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Oct 14 08:01 shlib

Here is the ftpaccess file being called:

_______________

class all real,guest,anonymous *

limit all 50 Any /etc/msgs/msg.dead

readme README* login
readme README* cwd=*

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

I'd greatly appreciate any insight into solving this problem.

The machines I am using wu-ftp on do not have guest ftp privileges.
The login prompt from the following

ftp
ftp>open localhost 21
220 'thehostname' FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-16] Wed Feb 18
18:51:16 PST 1998) ready.
Name (localhost:root):

comes back with the correct timezone info, but the session log (running with
-a -l -L flags in inetd.conf)

in SYSLOG will show

Feb 19 02:51:16 ..... et cetera

The SYSLOG is still in GMT. Since it (the SYSLOG) reads the /etc/TIMEZONE
all other logging entries have the correct timezone info. Only the ones
from wu-ftp are immune to the information

_______
The difference is in the header files. Your wu is expecting the variable
argument of varargs.h version. The one on your path is probably the
stdlib.h version.

If you want to work with what you have, check for nested includes. My bet
would be you need to fix syslog.h and stdlib.h to get your version to make.

Even if you get through that, the realpath declaration problem will crop up.
______

That being said just by way of explanation, it sounds as if you have a very
old 2.4.2 release that does not have all these fixes.

You should at the very least begin with 2.4.2-academ[BETA-16] to minimize
your time spent.
______
After that you will need to build a static 'ls' for the anonymous and
guestgroups to behave correctly. For that you first need to install the
speclibs for non-shared benchmarking. Then from the fileutils source code
(GNU) set the makefiles with -non_shared in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS wherever they
appear.

Hello,

I am running wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-16. I have one question. When
I issue following ftp command from machine A to machine B it
gives the following output.

ftp> mget test1 dplain test2
No files found.
mget test1? n
mget test2? n
ftp>

Here test1 and test2 are files and dplain is an empty directory
on machine B. So I think it gives the error message "No files
found" for the empty directory dplain. Am I right? Is this an
expected behavior?

Any answer will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Harshal

Dear Harshal,

I think so. since the directory is empty that is why!!
well at least mine does it anyway.
If a directory is not empty, well to be precise, if the files in
the directly are readable then it show try to get it one by one.

Thank you for your help.

I am running beta16 code on AIX 4.2.1 and have several guest
groups set up and working.

When I added hosts in my ftphosts file, I have noticed that the
11th entry is not honored. Login attempts for whatever user is in
the 11th entry generates the following in syslog:

connect from host
FTP LOGIN REFUSED (name in ftphosts) FROM host [10.5.5.1], user1

The screen shows the following:

Name: "user1"
530 User user1 access denied.
Login failed.

If I duplicate the 11th line so its also on line 12, then user1 can get
in.

Anyone else see this before?

Please reply directly to the list as this address.

Thanks

Hello all,

Here is my problem. In my inetd.conf file I have the following lines

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/ftpd ftpd -laio
#ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd

Using the first line with any amount of arguments will give me the
following error when connecting

421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

also I get the following error in /var/adm/messages

exiting on signal 11

However, if I use the second line or the first line without any arguments
then I am able to connect without difficulties. ftpd and in.ftpd are
identical binaries.

SunOS 5.6 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1

There havebeen reported some issues on sparc and Solaris...

Herer are the changes I needed to make:

Check the make file, if your'e using 2.6:
# On Solaris 2.6, remove snprint.c from the end of the next line
# SRCS = fnmatch.c strcasestr.c strsep.c authuser.c snprintf.c
SRCS = fnmatch.c strcasestr.c strsep.c authuser.c
# On Solaris 2.6, remove snprint.o from the end of the next line
# OBJS = fnmatch.o strcasestr.o strsep.o authuser.o snprintf.o
OBJS = fnmatch.o strcasestr.o strsep.o authuser.o

for sunworks4:

1. backup /usr/include/stdlib.h,/usr/include/arpa/ftp.h
2. commeon out refs. to realpath in /usr/include/stdlib.h
3. copy $WUSOURCE/support/ftp.h /usr/include/arpa/ftp.h
4. recompile.

Also, a known code error - which looks like what your problem is:

The problem is now fixed. It turned out to be my lack of experience with
Digital Unix. Apparently, one has to type "mkpasswd" after editing the
password file.

Tada!

I can't believe that I missed that blurb in the src code. I had the
answer on my screen at least once while I was trying to get it to compile.

So, I removed the snprint.c and snprint.o from the specified lines in
/support/makefiles/Makefile.sol and recompiled. It WORKED! but I noticed
the following inetd.conf strangeness: the first line below will produce
the error again but the second line works fine.

# ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd -laio
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd -l -a -i -o

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

I have one question regarding the functionality of "get"
command.

When I do ftp from machine A to machine B and give get command I
am getting following output:

ftp> get test1 test_1
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for test1 (259 bytes).
test_1: Is a directory
226 Transfer complete.
225 ABOR command successful.
ftp>

Where test1 is a file on machine B and test_1 is a directory on
machine A. Is the response "225 ABOR command successful." is
correct or it should be " 426 Transfer aborted. Data connection
closed." which is generated by myoob() function (signal handler
for SIGURG signal).

Any answers will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Harshal

When I try to create a sub-dir wu-ftpd refuses with a message:

ftp> mkdir bla
530 bla: Permission denied. (Upload dirs)

How is this possible?

Our ftp site is ftp.tue.nl and we are using wu-ftpd Version
wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-14](2)

kind regards,
Ivan

Hello,

Wu-ftpd uses the '-g' flag with ls to list files. So it doesn't
display owner of the file while issuing 'ls' or 'dir' command.
Was there any security reason to suppress this ?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Regards,
Harshal

Hello,

I am running wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-15 on a Solaris 2.4 box and i'm
getting a problem with my xferlog information. The first problem is with
the timestamp information it's a coupls of hours off. The second problem
is when I connect with IE40 and download something it registers as IE30 in
the xferlog. If anyone has any ideas how to fix these problems your help
is much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

I am using wu-ftpd 2.4.2b16 on Solaris 2.5 and I am uploading very often files
on this FTP server. Very often also, transfers are interrupted with messages
like below :

sending champselysees.htm as champselysees.htm (8 of 228)
PORT 193,149,100,125,4,29
200 PORT command successful.
STOR champselysees.htm

! Receive error: Blocking call cancelled
�
PORT 193,149,100,125,4,31
! Receive error: Blocking call cancelled
�
! port cmd failed.
! DoDirList returned 0

Any idea with that problem ? TIA. Gildas.

Are you using a windows client to upload? I have had reports of this very
same error on the ftpd i wrote.. but only with windows clients...

I was hoping that someone could give me adequate
reason why one should install wu-ftp as opposed
to using the ftp deamon that comes on the machine
(say for example, SunOS)!

Hi there,

i would like to know how one would tell the ftp daemon to make a certain
file that has been uploaded in a group that i specify. Ie, i want all ppl
to upload files as group foo, instead of group users.

the only thing that remoteley resembles this is the flag -u (umask). But
this is - of course - not what i want ;)

cheers

hello all,
I've just looked at the CA-97.16: ftpd Signal Handling Vulnerability and
I'm concerned what this security lack is about and wether it is fixed in
wu-ftpd.
Is there anyone who can provide me some more information about this
security lack and the solution?
Thanks
Dirk.

Thanks, but my more important desire was, to get some more information
concerning the basics.
In CA-97.16 there is written:

2. Impact

Regular and anonymous users may be able to access arbitrary files
with
root privileges. Depending on the configuration, this may allow
anonymous, as well as regular, users to read or write to arbitrary
files on the server with root privileges.

I just want to know, when does it happen and under what conditions the
vulnerability could be involved.

In CA-97.16 there is written:

Information involving this vulnerability has been made publicly
available.

My question: where?
Thanks
Dirk.

I dunno and CERT won't tell you. Information of this sort is usually
discussed in the appropriate usenet news groups and mailing lists. I
follow bugtraq for this sort of stuff but I'm sure there are others.

Try this:

If you do, and you do with V.16 then would you drop me a note?

This is strange: I'm just installing a beta-16 to run a second
server on a non-standard port.

I've modified the config and log file locations in pathnames.h, and the
installation paths in the relevant makefile.

All goes well, I end up with a second complete installation and it runs fine on
it's own port pair (4020/4021).

All the configs work OK EXCEPT ftpaccess - even if I remove this it has no
effect! No, it isn't a typo in pathnames.h, and just to be sure I checked that
it isn't affected by the "standard" setup, which uses /etc/ftpaccess.

This vexing, to say the least. Any ideas, anyone?

This is a FAQ; add the -a parameter in the inetd.conf command line.

hi!

i running wu-ftpd-2.4.2-academ[BETA-16] on a SparcStation with
Solaris 2.5.1 and i had the following problem

the ftpd daemon is execute by the inetd with the following arguments
/ftpd -ioal

when the ftp daemon log to the syslog ( and the xferlog too )
the time stamp is wrong ... it ignores the actual timezone
(GMT-3 for us)

following is a connection and the log ...

# ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.
220 hostpru.domain FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-16](1) Mon Feb 23 19:28:10 ARG 1998) ready.

# Feb 24 21:42:50 hostpru ftpd[28487]: FTP LOGIN REFUSED (bad shell or username in /ftpd/ftpusers) FROM localhost [127.0.0.1], root

This problem occurs also when anonymous is not configured.

Does anybody know a solution for this ? is there any patch to apply ?

thanks .

The first thing I'd recommend is to check out the FAQ, sections 1.5.7
and 1.5.8; this is available at
http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html
or via a link on Kent Landfield's WU-FTPD Resource Center at
http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/

Cheers, Bob

IRIX piece--
___________-

I forwarded the mail to each of the members cited in FIXES-2.4.2-BETA-14 on
separate trouble tickets for the GMT timestamp in syslog problem under IRIX.
So far, I have no positive replies that the SPT_NONE works for IRIX. The
source for ftpd.c contains perfectly ordinary calls to the syslog(). There
is nothing obviously strange there, but it clearly does not grab
/etc/TIMEZONE info.

That would be tickets 267, 209, 218, 271, 356.

Chris Brown did reply that his issue had been with the xferlog timestamp,
but he no longer has an SGI to confirm his old setup.

SOLARIS piece--
___________-
We have a version on Solaris-2.5.1 that behaves correctly. However, it was
NOT build with SPT_NONE as per the FAQ referenced in Bob Luckin's reply to
your question. It is also an older release: BETA-12.

Subject: creating subdir's in upload dir
X-VMS-To: [email protected]

Hi,

Our ftp site is ftp.tue.nl and we are using wu-ftpd Version
wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-14](2) on a Sun Solaris 2.5 machine.
We have an upload directory. In this directory no one can create sub-directories
(rule "upload /info/ftp /ftp/upload yes ftp ftp 0444 nodirs" in ftpaccess) but
I've seen twice that someone succedeed in creating a subdirectory. From the
friday's log:

Feb 20 21:52:45 idefix.tue.nl ftpd[26869]: USER anonymous
Feb 20 21:52:45 idefix.tue.nl ftpd[26869]: PASS [email protected]

Feb 20 21:53:24 idefix.tue.nl ftpd[26869]: PWD

When I try to create a sub-dir wu-ftpd refuses with a message:

ftp> mkdir bla
530 bla: Permission denied. (Upload dirs)

This is the correct behavior. I'm thinking that there is a bug in wu-ftpd.
At the moment I have "solved" the problem by denying those sites which are
creating sub-dirs for distributing warez.

kind regards,
Ivan

Hello,

I'm using wu_ftpd, or actually trying to use it. I made an account
like instructions by Michael Brennen at
http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/.

But, my certain user can still move around directories and is NOT
locked into his homedirectory ??? What's wrong ?

userxx:*:403:400::/var/ftp/./:/etc/ftponly
^^^
This should help with the problem or should it ??

Hi,

I'm still new to this list and am trying to understand the configuration
of ftpd for later use, but neverthless:

Isn't there a typo right above, written ftpquest instead of ftpguest,
which can cause the problems??

Interested in feedback.

Have a nice day
Michael

Hello,

I have wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 16 running on Sun Solaris 2.5.1.
I set up the anonymous ftp directory with script. Now I want to
let people upload to the /pub/incoming dir (/home/ftp/pub/incoming).
It works fine. But when people create dir (they are allowed to), they
can't upload files into that dir, but can create other dirs. Very weird.

these are the upload rules I have in my ftpaccess file:

upload /home/ftp * no
upload /home/ftp /pub/incoming yes ftp ftp 0777 dirs

the ftp user and group do exist in both (even in when chrooted)

Can someone tell me why people can't upload to dirs they have
created in the incoming dir?

ftp clients give this error:

553 autoexec.bat: Permission denied. (Upload)

dir permissions are:

drwxrwxrwx 3 root other 512 Feb 26 13:30 incoming

and when I create a subdir with my ftp client in the incoming dir (as
anonymous)

drwxr-xr-x 2 ftp ftp 512 Feb 26 13:30 test

Hi Jouni,

I don't know if I can be of much help here, but since it's not very
long since I built our own wu-ftp, I seem to remember something
similar among the many initial problems I had.

First: Isn't there a typo in your ftpaccess file, i.e. in the
following line?:

class ftpquest guest,anonymous *

It should read ... ftpguest ..., shouldn't it? (But this could hardly
have caused your chroot problem.)

2. What with your passwd line for a guest user,
userxx:*:403:400::/var/ftp/./:/etc/ftponly,
I'm not shure, but I think the asterisk in the dummy password
position should be an x instead. It is an x in my file, but it may be
system dependent. Easy to determine though - simply see what the
otherentries in /etc/passwd look like. The lines for users in my
/etc/passwd file read something like the following:

user:x:1002:101:Explanatory comment:/xdir/ydir:/bin/sh

and the line for the anonymous user something like:

ftp:x:30000:30000:Anonymous FTP:/dir1/dir2/dir3/ftp:/nosuchshell

where /dir1/dir2/dir3/ftp represents the ftp-root for anonymous.

You must have both, I think, i.e. one line for each guest user and one
for anonymous.

3. My guestgroup line in ftpaccess is according to the formula:

guestgroup guestgroupx guestgroupy guestgroupz ... etc.

where guestgroupx corresponds to a group declaration in the
/etc/group file, i.e. something like:

guestgroupx::101:

Hope this may be of some help. I got my chrooted logins to work
eventually, but am not sure I remember all of the details I had to
correct on my way there.

Good luck!
Stig

Hi,

Couldn't that be controlled by the upload line in ftpaccess?

I.e. something like

upload /.../.../ftp /pub/incoming yes root sys 0600

being changed to something like

upload /.../.../ftp /pub/incoming yes root sys 0770

or something?

Just a shot in the dark (almost).

Best Regards,
Stig

Actually, it probably is the cause.

This is wrong. The passwd field doesn't matter. Put whatver you want in
there. Most of us remove the passwords just to make it a tad harder for
someone to grab 'em and crack 'em offline.

What he's trying to say here is the guest groups must be real unix groups
appearing the the _real_ /etc/group file. In addition, the user must be a
real unix user and a member of the real unix group. Your typo made it
not-a-unix-group and therefore wu-ftpd ignored it since it couldn't figure
out what you meant.

Try invoked ftpd with the parameters
-t"idle timeout in seconds"
-T"maximum timeout idle period allowed that a client could request"

for example :
ftpd -t600

a connection with a client can be idle for a 600 seconds, after that
the connection will be closed .( if the client don't request a timeout
period )

For more information read the section 8 of ftpd man
(sorry my english is poor).

I've been asked to set up an instance of wu-ftp that permits acess
only from certain user/address combinations.

So, for example, I want to permit

allow keith 195.129.28.*

(an ftphosts line)

but deny keith access from any other address.

ftphosts seems to have an implied "permit everything else", rather than "deny
everything else" - the latter is akin to the way that, for instance, a Cisco
access list would work "permit this, this, and this. If I haven't mentioned it,
deny it"

If there was an ability to wildcard the username in ftphosts, that would do the
trick. Something like:

allow keith 195.129.28.*
deny keith *.*.*.*
deny ALL *.*.*.*

would do the trick if the list is processed from the top looking for the first
match.

In ftpaccess, there is a deny statement, which presumably can be used to do
relatively global denials. The problem is, I'm not sure how the precedence is
worked out between the two config files.

If I say "deny *.*.*.*" in ftpaccess, can I then say "allow keith 195.129.28.*"
in ftphosts and have it work?

Of course, I'm going to play with this, but setting up tests can't be
exhaustive, and I need to prove, to a relatively non-technical audience, that
this works in a general fashion.

Hi,

as I'm new regarding configuration of wu-ftp servers please excuse
if the following question is a stupid one or if it can't be achieved.
I didn't find anything dealing with it in documentation:

Can it be handled that certain selected users can login into wu-ftp
servers but not in a private account but resulting in sitting in
the anonymous directory?

Background:
I want to limit anonymous access (of course:), on the other hand
selected users should also be able to login, but these preferred ones
should *not* sit down in any private account's directory (wanting to
not have them as private unix accounts) but in the same ftproot
directory as the anonymous users?

Possible or impossible?

Have a nice day
Michael

Good afternoon,

I run wu-ftpd on Sun Solaris 2.5.1.

I tried to build a static ls command for my anonymous login, so I
tried to follow Darci L. Chapmans excellent Solaris 2.5.x.
How-To(http://wildheart.org/wu-ftpd/wuftpd.shtml). He states there:

Get a hold of Emil Isberg's patch; save it (for example) in
/usr/local/src as fileutils-3.13_static-ls.patch
Get a hold of the gnu
file utilities (version 3.13 only) and place it (for example) in
/usr/local/src
>From /usr/local/src: gunzip fileutils-3.13.tar.gz
tar xf fileutils-3.13.tar
cd fileutils-3.13
/configure
cd ..
patch <fileutils-3.13_static-ls.patch
cd fileutils-3.13
make ls
Copy "ls" to your ~ftp/bin directory and there you have it!

Yes, there he had it. I didn't. After the configure routine was run I
copied an ls file to the directory where I have the utilities. But I
never got as far as to the make ls part. Here follows a printout of my
session with Emil Isberg's patch script:

# patch <fileutils-3.13_static-ls.patch
Looks like a new-style context diff.
File to patch: ls
Hunk #1 failed at line 68.
Hunk #2 failed at line 87.
Hunk #3 failed at line 136.
3 out of 3 hunks failed: saving rejects to ls.rej
The next patch looks like a new-style context diff.
Malformed patch at line 293:
patch: Line must begin with '+ ', ' ', or '! '.
#
Evidently I misunderstood something. I am not an experienced UNIX
user. I am sure this is a simple question to most of you. Anybody
please help.

Best Regards,
Stig

Among other things my banner says this:

Welcome %U from %R.

This translates into

220- Welcome [unknown] from storm.stud.ntnu.no.

Just below this it says

220 storm.stud.ntnu.no FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2.b14-GJ) ready.
Name (ftp:joge):

So ftpd know I am called joge, but still says [unknown] in the banner.

The [unknown] in banner comes from msg_massage() in extensions.c and look
like this:

case 'U':
if (pw)
strcpy(outptr, pw->pw_name);
else
strcpy(outptr, "[unknown]");
break;

This obviously sets %U to [unknown] since pw has not been initialized
yet. But still ftpd know my username since it displays it just below.

The problem is that I just cannot find the source file where the message

Name (ftp:joge):

comes from. My best guess is this line in ftpd.c:

for (;;)
(void) yyparse();

What is this line doing?

Are there any way for me to have the banner say 'joge' instead of [unknown]?

No I don't think you misunderstood anything ..
I will need to upgrade that patch.

Hmm .. It could be that the patch needs GNU patch (I got version 2.1) ..
And the diff was made with GNU diff (version 2. something) ..

Please follow up how it goes..

I seem to recall a similar problem when I followed those instructions,
and the solution was to use the gnu patch program instead of Sun's. I
had a similar problem with the compiler (had to use gcc instead of Sun's
unbundled C compiler). It appears that free software writers/maintainers
are relying more and more upon the gnu rather than vendor versions of
unix utilities, and that if you want to cleanly install a program, you'd
better have the gnu stuff installed on your machine, and early in your
path (ahead of the vendor bin files).

ftpd *doesn't* know you're called joge.
It's a matter of your ftp client.

The standard ftp clients on almost every type of unix OS give your
username as default at the login prompt, without the server program being
aware of anything.

The only way to get rid of the [unknown] would be to add ident lookups,
and that wouldn't work for everyone (Windoze based systems don't have
ident at all, on most Unices it's optional, and it's blocked by some
firewalls).

Greetings!

I'm running into a problem compiling wu-ftpd on a BSD/OS system running v 3.1.

Basically, when I do a build bsd, the compilation dies with:

cc -O -I.. -I../support -L../support -o ftpd ftpd.o ftpcmd.o glob.o
logwtmp.o popen.o vers.o access.o extensions.o realpath.o acl.o private.o
authenticate.o conversions.o hostacc.o sigfix.o -lsupport
realpath.o: Definition of symbol _realpath (multiply defined)
getcwd.o: Definition of symbol _realpath (multiply defined)
*** Error code 1

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Joel

Subject: Bug report for wu-ftpd-beta-16 under AIX 4.2.1
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

I have found the following bugs with beta-16 under AIX 4.2.1 and
developed the following fixes:

Apologies for not sending this in patch form, but I don't
know the commands for building the patch file. (help anyone?)

(1) Symptom: The pids files keep growing in size.

Cause: In access.c, the calls to lseek() are silently
failing because off_t is type long long (64 bits)
in AIX.

Solution: All five instances of:

lseek(pidfd, 0, L_SET);

need to be recast to:

lseek(pidfd, (off_t)0, SEEK_SET);

(2) Symptom: The ftpwho and ftpcount commands fail with:

ftpcount: could not malloc aclbuf: Invalid argument

Cause: In ftpcount.c, finfo.st_size is of type off_t,
which is long long (64 bits), and needs to be cast
as (size_t) in order to work with malloc
and fread.

Solution: change all four occurrences of:

finfo.st_size

to:

(size_t)finfo.st_size

Who should I report this bug to officially, or have I just done it?

Thanks!

Subject: One more problem with beta-16 on AIX 4.2.1
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

Another problem I encountered is that I needed to change
makefile.aix to add the compilation flag:

-D_AIX42

This is required to correctly compile under AIX 4.2, but
doesn't get turned on automatically. This should be
added to the AIX installation procedure.

Subject: C2 (enhanced) security on Ultrix 4.3a
Content-Type: text
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

Hey gang,

I was forced to upgrade the security on one of our hosts to level C2.
It is an Ultrix 4.3a installation. The default (B1?) security is
level is SECLEVEL=BSD. At the C2 level (SECLEVEL=ENHANCED), passwords
are encrypted and stored is a shadow file outside the /etc/passwd file
using an authentication dbm database.

Anyway, wu-ftpd worked fine on this system... until I upgraded.

Now, anonymous logins work correctly, but all the login attempts for
real users fail. The syslog captures the attempts as failed logins:

Feb 28 18:21:10 localhost: 9271 ftpd: USER listmgr
Feb 28 18:21:14 localhost: 9271 ftpd: PASS password
Feb 28 18:21:15 localhost: 9271 ftpd: failed login from host.domain [IP], user

I suspect I need to change a flag or some definitions and recompile the
daemon, but my quick glance through the code and installation documents
didn't turn up anything. Anybody have a quick answer?

Re: C2 (enhanced) security on Ultrix 4.3a

I forgot to mention in the first note.

I am running wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-16, and I *did* see a note in the
wu-ftpd FAQ file from Andrew Sawyer regarding how to do this on
Digital Unix. It is not clear to me how hisfix applies to Ultrix...
