For non-zero byte length ftp logs files, why would I get "There was no data

Well, first of all, which xferstats are you using?  That worthless little
perl script that comes with wu-ftpd (aiee, don't hit me) or the one I
wrote in C to replace it that isn't "quite" ready to be included in the
full distribution?

I can answer for both, but I'm not -positive- about my answer regarding
the perl script.

What's most likely occuring is that you're excluding all of your data,
whether you know it or not.  If you're using my replacement, there are
some default settings in config.h.  If you have "display anonymous users"
and "display real users" both turned off, you have no data left to
process.  You can override these defaults on the command line, so try
specifying it and see if you get some data.

I recall using the perl script, and I recall having to specifically tell
it what data I wanted sometimes.  If I recall correctly there's a block at
the top of the code that gives the command line options.  Try manually
specifying the location of the xferlog, as well as the data you want to
display.

For a quite update while I have your attention, xferstats is currently in
the middle of a major rewrite.  It should decrease memory usage by several
orders of magnitude (for those with -massive- logfiles) while only slowing
it down ever so slightly.  I think this is a worthy trade-off.

After I finish the rewrite I plan on opening it up to anyone who cares to
contribute.  I'd really like to hear what you want, and patches are always
appreciated :)  Wait for the 1.20, it'll be worth it.  In the meantime,
you can still probably get by with 1.15 or 1.16, just be a little careful
if you have a gigantic (20+ megs) logfile, it will eat up a ton (300+
megs) of ram while it processes.

All previous and current versions are available at
ftp://sound.off.net:211/pub/xferstats (that's sound.off.net port 211, for
the url impaired :)

--------------B56F430D13B986BECE986232
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Further to my previous message, here is what seems to be the current
logic of the ftphosts and ftpaccess allow and deny statements.

ftphosts:

       allow keith 195.129.28.*

Allows access for user keith ONLY from 195.129.28.* - there is an implicit "deny
from anywhere else". This is a Good Thing!

       deny keith *.*.*.*

Denies acees for keith from anywhere. Also a Good Thing.

ftpaccess:

       deny 195.129.28.*

Denies any access from 195.129.28.*.

BUT:    deny *.*.*.* does nothing.

There seems to be no way to set up so as to allow onyl specific
users from specific addresses, and do a blanket "deny everyone else"

Does anyone know a way round this?

Normally of course such address filtering would be done on a router,
but I need to set up multiple virtual servers on one machine, each one with
different, and quite specific, address matching, and at least one of them open
to all.

Help!

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,
I'm trying to compile wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-16 on Solaris 2.5.1_x86 and
get the following error message:

Making ftpd.
cc -g -I.. -I../support -L../support  -c  ftpd.c

cc: preprocessor failed for ftpd.c
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `ftpd.o'

On Sparc platform it passed ok.

Any idea.

Thanks in advance.

Trying to buil/compile an other software on a HP-UX machine I have
seen a similar effect. I ended in using GNU sed instead the hosts
operating systems sed, then it worked okay.

It may not be the same with your problem, but it may be worth to
have a look there.

Have a nice day
Michael

Hello,

       Today when I was looking  for the fix of  CA-97.16.ftpd  - "ftpd
       Signal  Handling  Vulnerability"  I noted that the modified code
       portion is included with

               #ifdef NEED_SIGFIX

                       ...
                       sigfix code...
                       ...

               #endif

       But  NEED_SIGFIX  is defined only in  config.lnx  file.  Does it
       mean that this code portion is only for linux operating system ?
       Can I use it for HP-UX ?  Will it work for it ?

       Any suggestions are welcomed...

Thanks,
Harshal

Dear List,
   I am looking for an ftp daemon which can be patched/modified to
authenticate vis the TIS authsrv database. What are the chances ? I
don't fancy several weeks messing around with source to get it to fly in
a production environment....

Many regards,
Simon Convey.

Hi,

I sure could do with some help from rational and competent people
(which is as far as can be from what I feel myself at the moment). I
am at my wits end now (well - again, then).

I run Solaris 2.5.1

I have up to now been using the original wu-ftpd Version wu-2.4(2) and
today I finally found courage to update, so I downloaded and installed
(so I thought) wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-16. Everything seemed to work rather
smoothly, compiling as well as installing; no error msgs - and the
files showed up where I wanted them (in temporary places, since I
wanted to simply test the installation before I installed it for
real).

After the installation process I ran ckconfig, which reported as
follows:

# ./ckconfig
Checking _PATH_FTPUSERS :: /etc/ftpusers
ok.

Checking _PATH_FTPACCESS :: /etc/ftpaccess
ok.

Checking _PATH_PIDNAMES :: /var/adm/ftp.pids-%s
ok.

Checking _PATH_CVT :: /etc/ftpconversions
ok.

Checking _PATH_XFERLOG :: /var/adm/xferlog
I can't find it...
Don't worry, it will be created automatically by the
server if you do transfer logging.

Checking _PATH_PRIVATE :: /etc/ftpgroups
ok.

Checking _PATH_FTPHOSTS :: /etc/ftphosts
ok.
#

That seemed promising, I thought, so I entered the line in
/etc/inted.conf - thus:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /disk2/usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd -laio

and entered kill -HUP 102 (which was the pid of inetd).

But when I try to log in I get:

connecting to 130.235.143.145 ...
Connected to 130.235.143.145 port 21

! Connection failed

An ftp session at the console can look like this:

# ftp ftp.dal.lu.se
Connected to ftp.dal.lu.se.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
Mar  3 16:25:44 grimnir.dal.lu.se ftpd[394]: exiting on signal 11
ftp> quit

In the logs on the server I see:

Mar  3 14:32:35 grimnir.dal.lu.se inetd[102]: config: 100083/rpc/tcp
still active and was not reconfigured.
Mar  3 14:32:44 grimnir.dal.lu.se ftpd[2958]: exiting on signal 11

And this happens not only after a SIGHUP, but, most astonishing of
all, even AFTER I REBOOT the server!

There are similar messagees in var/adm/messages:

Mar  3 14:32:35 grimnir.dal.lu.se inetd[102]: config: 100083/rpc/tcp
still active and was not reconfigured.
Mar  3 14:32:44 grimnir.dal.lu.se ftpd[2958]: exiting on signal 11

The installation is on a secondary disk (mounted on /disk2 - see
above) at the moment - a disk the file system of which work
excellently in other cases. But could this really be the reason?

Nothing is the matter with my ftpaccess file, I think. I copied (to
/etc) the one I have used with the old installation, and it contains
nothing extraordinary.

As soon as I switch back to my old installation (comment out -
uncomment in inetd.conf + SIGHUP to inetd) everything works well
again.

This seems really weird to me. If anyone could give me some idea where
to look for reasons I would be extremely grateful.

Best Regards,
Stig

See http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/mail-archive/1997/Dec/0235.html,
it's a known bug in beta-16.

As a workaround you can give options like this:
'...in.ftpd in.ftpd -l -a -i -o '

Howdy yall.

I would expect that this is covered in some FAQ somewhere, but I cant find it. How do I get wuftpd to log to local4 facility, and not daemon ?

Thanks in advance

It's quite easy to find if you know what you're looking for..

I grepped the sources for FACILITY and...

$ grep FACILITY *.[ch]
config.h:#define FACILITY LOG_DAEMON

and config.h is copied from config/config.{archtype} (config.lnx
corresponds to build lnx for example).

So change this to LOG_LOCAL4 and rebuild.

Dear nice folks on the wu-ftpd list,

I read the FAQ and the ftpd server man page as well as the
CERT notices and don't see any mention of using a "blind"
FTP site, meaning the "ls" and "mget" commands don't work
(return a "sorry you can't do that" message instead). This
is a suggestion from our internal networking support group.
That way, users must know what they are getting and can't go
on "fishing trips".

Because I don't see any mention of this practice, I wonder
if this is an effective security practice or just a
worthless annoyance for legitimate users?

By the way, how do I make a drop-box "blind"? meaning the
"ls" and "mget" commands don't work (return a message
instead). Making the directory permissions -w--w---- seems
to work but users can still create directories.

Ciao!

on this in the WU-FTPD FAQ:

  <URL:http://sawyer.wustl.edu/du4-docs/Digital_UNIX_Bookshelf.html>

Has nobody compiled wu-ftpd for Ultrix with C2 security?  I find that
hard to believe...

Hello,

I
1. Installed FreeBSD through the net.
2. Did a pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CVSup/cvsupit.tgz
3. Did the update for source, ports, and docs.
4. Did a cd /usr/src; make buildworld; make installworld; reboot


Now for some reason the ftpd doesn't provide a login prompt, just hangs. I
reinstalled wu-ftpd and the later version 2.4.2-beta16 and it still does
the same thing. I then made a custom kernel, rebooted, and still the same
thing.

httpd works fine and sendmail and everything looks fine...just ftp doesn't
work...

Any comments would be most appreciated.

Thanx,
Randy Katz

Now,

It eventually goes give a login but waits for a long time beforehand (like
3-4 minutes).

Any suggestions?

Could it be waiting on a reverse DNS lookup?  Are you sure your DNS
and resolver (/etc/resolv.conf) are working properly?

Hmm .. I got some wondering what you wanted to do ..
But the rows you want to change are:
NLST = ftpcmd.y:323, ftpcmd.y:329
LIST = ftpcmd.y:337-340,ftpcmd.y:346-349

You can change them to 'reply(202, "XXX command ignored")' or perhaps a
better error code. ;-)

Well .. That removes the ls stuff .. and I think that mget relies on that
function .. Hmm .. the code is up to the user .. :-)
Btw this removes the ls code for all users, real or anonymous!!
Perhaps you need an other way of doing it.

You should also watch out for SITE cmds .. and keep it configurated right.
:-)

Well. I can not understand why you want to "blind" the ftpd ..
But I concentrate on not letting the wrong people into the service, so how
they get the filelist, from the ftp or from the telnet doesn't matter for
me.

>instead). Making the directory permissions -w--w---- seems

Hmm .. funny permissions that one ..
You should make those ---x--x--x ..

Then the users can't modify the directory (and therefor can't create any
directory/file) .. but can access any files (that they know of) in the dir
. They can't get the information out of the dir because it isn't
readable!!

Good luck with improving the security. Is a damn hard work.

And you wuftpd people: Is this the way to do it .. or is there
easier/better way to do it?

I know I am jumping in the middle of this, and I dont know what all was
going on, but ..

could it be a failing identd lookup, where the querry is silently dropped
by a packetfilter/firewall?  And it waits for connect() to time out prior
to giving you a login prompt..

Hi,
  About 2 months ago, I saw from the archives that there will be a
patch for using different password file for wu-ftpd; other than
/etc/passwd.  I am just wondering if the patch is in yet?  Thanks for
reply.

Good morning,

Many, many thanks to all who helped me through the compilation,
installation and bug workarounds of wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-16 (especially
to Josef Siemes and Emil Isberg). Everything works excellently now!

Being unexperienced as to installing patches (I am studying the patch
manual page), I used the workaround with separated parameters instead
till beta-17 will appear, but that works fine too. (I was kicked of
the list - due to some mail bouncing from our mail server evidently
- during the time when the "beta-16 dies with single parm" thread was
up, but have now retrieved the msgs from the archives).

Just one more little question (of a rather trivial nature and just
out of curiosity): Is there anywhere to set the CC variable from
start before running build. The only way to do it that I could think
of was first running ./build sol and put up with the error msgs
(because no compiler cc is found), then edit the CC variable in
../src/Makefile and .../support/Makefile and finally build again
with no errors. Because those two Makefiles are created at build
time, aren't they? I tried at first changing the variable in the two
Makefile.gen but that wouldn't do. Darci Chapman in his "How-To Guide
.." says "Be sure to set the environment variable CC to the
appropriate path ...". But really setting CC as an environment
variable doesn't do the trick either. Should it? The Makefiles will
reset it anyway, won't they?

Sorry about the verbosity!

Best Regards,
Stig

I'm running AIX 4.2.0 and trying to test the beta-16 version of wu-ftpd.  I
changed  '#define SPT_TYPE SPT_REUSEARVG' to
'#define SPT_TYPE SPT_NONE' in the file /src/config/config.aix.  I also
made changes to access.c and ftpcount.c posted by
John Schulien.

I'm seeing two 'problems':
1. the time is 5 hours off in xferlog and 'ls -l'
2. ftpwho no longer reports what machine made the ftp connection
   Service class remote:
   15416     -    A    0:00  wu-ftpd:  client1.clearlake.ibm.com: anonymo
 This is what I see instead
    Service class remote:
    15416       -  A    0:00 ftpd -advlL -T3600 -u022

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help

Hello all,

I would like default permissions on a put to be set to 640,
how would I go about changing that ...
I think it's something like -u ###, or am I way off?

Also, I was tinkering with my ftpaccess file last week
and presto ... I was able to chmod a file during
an ftp session ... since then, I have tinkered,
yet am no longer able to chmod, even if I resart the process
and allow all to chmod in ftpaccess!!!!

Thanks to all who replied to my request. I need to "grill"
our network security people to find out why they recommend
the "blind" FTP site, before I spend too much time
implementing it...

Ciao!

Subject: IRIX GMT SPT_NONE fix: beta-13 works; beta-16 breaks

There is probably a subtle address-shift bug, but I can't see what causes
this without stepping through each side-by-side in gdb or the ProDev
debugger and my time for this is limited.

What I notice between the two ftpd.c versions is that 16 is attempting to be
all-comprehensive with its initsetproctitle and rewritten SPT_TYPE cases
while in 13, it was simply an oversight in the config.h since SPT_REUSEARGV
doesn't work in IRIX.  Nothing else in the contrast jumps out at me.

The ctime(&curtime) pointers look identical for both releases and this
pointer to the 26 character string should pull the value from /etc/TIMEZONE
correctly since this is actually read by init following the system boot and
is understood by other syslog calls independent of needing to set the
environment variable TZ locally in the shell that builds wu-ftpd.  However,
the default values of altzone [the difference in seconds from UTC] and
timezone are zero {UTC}. Why beta-16's syslog() calls cannot see the correct
time is not obvious.

The declarations in the /usr/include/time.h are standard.

Beta-13 with SPT_TYPE set to SPT_NONE built on IRIX5.3,6.2,6.4 (but without
the -n32 ABI) does produce the correct timestamps in both /var/adm/SYSLOG
and /usr/local/logs/xferlog.  Setting the ABI for enhanced 32-bit produces
only warnings, but other minor mysteries show up so I gave up on that.
Porting to 64 bit is the next challenge for all the newer Origin boxes.

academ ftpd (2.4.2-BETA16) is dying (with signal 11) right out of the gate
when running as 'in.ftpd -a'

When running as 'in.ftpd -a -d' it seems to work fine.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any pointers appreciated...I've already
checked the list archives.

Hi everyone,

 I have managed to compile ls for Sparc Solaris without too
many problems, and have had it running for a while.  Now
when I take the same source code to a X86 Solaris box and
link it, I get a segmentation falt in _init. ( from gdb )
Has anyone managed to compile ls as a static executable on
Solaris X86?

regards,

Keith

Hi.

It seems my wu-ftpd doesn�t like PORT command if they point to an other IP
then the one from the originating Client i.e from me. I want to transfer
files between two ftp-sites without using my bandwith in PASV mode but
everytime it fails with 500 Illegal PORT Command, if I enter my IP, it runs
excellent.

Has anyone got an idea ?

Sorry for this, but I can�t subscribe to the mailing-list right now, because
my POP3-Server will change shortly (I will read all mails, though) so
please (!!!) set cc�s to [email protected]

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Dave,

If !!! It has given me and evidently also some others several new
gray hairs. But the solution is simple. Please see reply to this list
by Josef Siemes 3 March. The simplest solution for the time being
(there is a better one also - see thread mentioned below) is to use
at least two paramaters, and keep them separated: in.ftpd -a -d
(e.g. in.ftpd -ad is just as fatal).

There was a whole thread about this bug by the end of december.
You'll find the documentation at address given in Josef's msg.

Best Regards!
Stig

Yes, it should have been obvious even to me. But my thoughts seemed to
go astray, as it were, because of Darci Chapmans talk of setting the
environment variable CC (which it is not, being a variable inside
scripts). I used a symbolic link, like you suggested, and it works
beautifully.

Greetings from an icy and snowy Lund,
Stig

P.S. I tried to send this directly to you at [email protected] but
it bounced with:

While talking to relay.bfl.at:
>>> MAIL From:<@nomina.lu.se:[email protected]>
<<< 501 Syntax error
554 <[email protected]>... Remote protocol error

  ----- Recipients of this delivery -----
Bounced, cannot deliver:
  <[email protected]>

Just thought you ought to know (something amiss with your mail
server?).

 The source code that I used was from GNU fileutils..Then modified
the Makefile to make static compiles and links.  You will also need
this C file:

Which came from this patch that someone else did:

Please reply directly to me since I am not receiving any list

Subject: Solaris 2.6, wu-ftpd and 421 Servica ... error

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

Once again I turn to my good friends the S-x86 and wu-ftpd lists.

PROBLEM: 421 Service not available error (but ftpd patched!)

Upgrading from Solaris 2.51 to Solaris 2.6 on the x86 platform. I was using
wu-ftpd beta-12 at first but have upgraded that to beta-16 as part of the
attempt to fix this problem. I host about 30 virtual ftp sites and while
some of them work fine, others return these errors when trying to connect:

(Note attempt to connect to real user first, then anonymous)

while others on the same server work fine. I've patched beta-16 with the
proper patches from the Dec98 Landfield wu-ftpd archive, and I've tried
setting inetd.conf/ftpd with one option, several and no options, with no
effect. I get this in the syslog:

Sone work, others don't. I've double-checked all aspects of my installation,
made sure all device files installed are proper and up-to-date. No ftpshut
file, permissions set correctly, ftp account defined as usual. I'm using
tcpwrappers, but there are no conflicting hosts.[allow|deny] entries. Here
is my inetd.conf entry:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /opt/security/bin/tcpd /opt/wuftpd/bin/in.ftpd -aio

I've turned off interface groups in S72inetsvc with

# Turn off interface groups "feature" of ifconfig
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/ip ip_enable_group_ifs 0

and I know about the last ifconfig'ed interface being the one to use. I've
also installed the most recent Recommended patch set from Sun and scoured
DejaNews and the Landfield wu-ftpd archive for advice, as well as all the
FAQs I could lay my hands on.

This problem is definitely a business buster, so I'd appreciate any clues at
all. Thanks in advance. -Gary

Good morning Gary,

A shot in the (almost, since you have applied the patches) dark:

Try with space separated parameters in inetd.conf, like:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /opt/security/bin/tcpd
/opt/wuftpd/bin/in.ftpd -a -i -o

Hopefully ...

Followup to earlier message -- even though I've patched the ftpd.c with
the patch from the Dec98 Landfield archive entry, I also tried setting no
options in inetd.conf. one option, and several -- that is,

  in.ftpd
  in.ftpd -aio
  in.ftpd -a -i -o
  in.ftpd -a -i -o -l

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

(Most of problem was byte-size of /etc/shells file being an even multiple
of 8 bytes. Is this a known problem on the list?)

To: Sven
That was most of the problem. My original /etc/shells file had an extra
unneeded entry so I removed it when I was cleaning up, leaving the file
at 136 bytes. I added it back, and 90% of the problem fixed itself.

I'm still getting the "Can't set guest privileges" error though. Must be
two problems I've had. Any thoughts?

Just a guess, but does the guest user have read and execute perms to the
home dir?  and/or does the homedir exist?  I have only seen that error
before when that was the case..
