GET <filename>
GET <filename>.md5
if md5sum(<localfile>) == <checksum>
DELE <filename> or SITE EXEC <postprocess>
The feature isn't required. The addition of SITE CHECKSUM provides a
better means of determining you have a good copy of the file.

the current version is 2.4.2, beta-18, and is what you should be running.
2.4 is old, buggy and has some severe security problems.
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.

Many of our customers use this feature to trigger extended logging
(eg log into a database, send a notification that the file has been
downloaded from the server), or to delete or rename a file after it
has been downloaded. Also to do realtime tracking to see if a file
has been downloaded.

Given the amount of work involved (that is to say, not much) I guess
adding an after-GET trigger is something people would use. Why is beyond
me, especially if they want to trigger a delete or rename, since these are
irreversible actions taken with incomplete knowledge of the state of
things. I still contend this is bad systems design and shouldn't be in
the daemon. Ah well .. here's the rope, there's the tree ..

Thanks to all those who helped with debugging and built the pre-compiled
binaries.
This is a list of fixes to BETA 18 with VR7 applied from
[email protected]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add 'SITE CHECKMETHOD' and 'SITE CHECKSUM'. Closes Stan's TODO item 8.
SITE CHECKMETHOD [CRC|POSIX|MD5|RFC1321]
Sets or displays the current check method. If no parameter is given,
displays the current method; otherwise the method is set to the given
algorithm. CRC and POSIX are equivalent and are the output of the
GNU cksum(1) utility. MD5 and RFC1321 are equivalent and are the
output of the GNU md5sum(1) utility. The default check method is
RFC1321 (MD5).
SITE CHECKSUM [<file>]
Calculates the checksum for the named file. If no file is given, the
last file transferred (uploaded or download) is used. If no file has
yet been transferred, reports an error. The current CHECKMETHOD is
used to calculate the checksum.
New ftpconversions: .crc and .md5
Two new file conversions were added to the example ftpconversion which
allow using GET to retrieve the CRC or MD5 checksums for files.
NOTE: SITE CHECKSUM requires the installation of two additional
programs in the ~ftp/bin directory. These programs have the same
requirements as the external ls(1) program also normally required in
that directory. For systems without these programs, or which require
building new copies, the GNU textutils package should be used. This
package is available at
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ the current version
at the time of this writing is textutils-1.22.tar.gz
Add IGNORE_NOOP as a new compile-time option. Make it the default. From a
request sent to me from
[email protected] on September 14, 1998.
Add site-exec-max-lines ftpaccess clause. This clause makes the limit on
output lines from SITE EXEC configurable. The default is a 20-line limit,
which was the old compiled-in limit. From a request sent to me from
[email protected] on September 14, 1998.
Moved 'retrieve_is_data' to be always compiled into the code since it was
needed for SITE CHECKSUM.
Modify the password cryptography for C2 Digital Unix. From a patch sent to
me from
[email protected] on September 16, 1998. Additional patches sent
during testing clean up some of the cross-platform user authentication code
for SECUREOSF.
Fix a bug in the parsing of ftpconversions which I found when I put in the
new conversions for checksums. Turns out this was the same as the bug I
fixed in VR4 parsing the ftpgroups file.
Disallow certain email addresses as passwords for anonymous ftp. From
patches submitted to the mailing list by
[email protected] on Feb 14,
1997 and
[email protected] on Jun 9, 1998. Actual patches taken from
BeroFTPD with permission. Corrected a bug where deny-email had to follow
passwd-check in the ftpaccess file.
Limit total connect time. From a patch submitted to the mailing list by
[email protected] on Sep 27, 1997. This closes Stan's TODO item 14. Phil
lost his original patch, so the actual patch was taken from BeroFTPD with
permission.
Phil Schwan's xferstats program implements Stan's TODO item 6. Marking it
closed. Download Phil's xferstats separately. Trust me, it's far better
that the Perl script included in the package.
Kent Landfield's privatepw program implements Stan's TODO item 2. Marking
it closed. Download Kent's privatepw separately.
Bernard Rosenkraenzer's BeroFTPD is now tracking my VR patches. With the
inclusion of NEWVIRT in BeroFTPD, Stan's TODO item 24 is complete. Marking
it closed. Download BeroFTPD if you use virtual hosting.
Add 'hostname' option for the 'virtual' clause so we may set the name of
our multi-homed ftp sites as we can with our default site. Discovered in
testing.
If a guest logs in on the virtual server deny the login unless their chroot
point is the virtual server's root. This restricts guest logins to the
site admin and anonymous users. From a patch submitted to the mailing list
on December 11, 1996 by
[email protected]. Added the restriction
that no real users may log in on the virtual server.
Add 'email' option for the 'virtual' clause so we may set this as well.
Discovered in testing. This takes virtual hosts as far as I need them. If
you need more control, use BeroFTPD or newvirt.
Add 'greeting' clause to control the amount of information the server gives
out on the greeting. Personal preference.
Code reading for the next patch I found another undocumented feature. If
the <addrglob> on a 'class' or 'deny' clause starts with a slach (/) it
names a file which contains any number of additional <addrglob> entries per
line and any number of lines. Updated manpage.
[email protected] caught me in a good mood and requested the ability to disable
all DNS lookups in the daemon. I've done this as a compile-time option and
included a discussion of the risks and benefits in the config.h for the
daemon. Enabling this feature can be a win for busy sites because it can
reduce the time required to make a connection as well as eliminate syslog
messages caused by bad DNS management at the remote sites.
More typos in ftpaccess.5, some mine, some have been there for ages.
Earlier VR patches changed the behavior of the xferlog to always show the
full, real path for the file. This should have been a compile-time option.
BSD auth failures crashed the daemon. This looks like it's been a long-
standing problem. Thanks to
[email protected] for giving me a machine to test
and debug this problem.
If no 'ftp' user existed, the HELP-HACKERS patch failed to send a response
which would hang the ftp client. Another from
[email protected].
DEC Unix 4 needs a different configuration. Use './build du4'. Reported
by
[email protected].
Testing CLOSED_VIRTUAL_SERVER pointed out a bug in user() .. the attemmpt
to sleep to slow down password guessers can't work since signals are off.
The daemon sleeps forever. This has been there for years.
Changed my mind and added two more virtual-server features so we can deny
anonymous login on a virtual servier and so we can allow specified users to
log in even though they're real or chroot'd to another directory. Also
added a feature to deny real, guest or anonymous on the default server.
Added USE_VAR and USE_ETC for IRIX (sgi) configuration. Noted by
[email protected] testing the VR8 patches.
DEC Unix complains about the function 'main()' having more than two
parameters for STRICT ANSI/ISO C compliance. This warning can be safely
ignored. Also, minor problems and a fix for syslog in the
support/makefiles/Makefile.dec and src/makefiles/Makefile.dec which
prevented bulding on DEC Unix 3.x. From
[email protected] testing the
VR8 patches.
AIX complained (rightly so) about several problems with the source which
prevented compiling using K&R. From
[email protected], testing VR8 patches.

Well, you can delete and rename files using the relevant commands, without
the need to execute anything on the remote server. And depending on how
things are set up, notification could perhaps be initiated from the client
end instead of the server. The same might apply to the tracking as well,
depending on the mechanisms used... But I'll accept that your clients find
the feature useful.
I think Gregory asked his question originally to see how big the demand
for an "ondownload" equivalent to his proposed "onupload" was. My guess
is there there may not be enough to warrant his effort to implement it.
Of course, once he has written the code for the "onupload" command, it may
not take a lot of extra effort to add "ondownload" as well. Assuming the
algorithms are similar much of the code may be calls to the functions
already written for "onupload"... But since he's the one who is proposing
to implement either or both of these features, I'll certainly leave that
decision to him !

I guess I may as well offer my two cents worth on this. An installation that I
am familiar with, runs a bunch of web servers. Customers ftp their updated
html pages, etc, to a staging server [drop off point ]. The web servers are
cron'd to grab the new files for a particular site from the staging server.
Checks are performed on the new pages, then are written out to that web servers
doc root. The problem is that this is a polling model, which is inefficient to
say the least. If an FTP Daemon existed that could act as an intelligent
relay/proxy system, and perform actions per file or whatever, then the polling
system in place could then be event driven. I think we can all agree that
benefits are numerous when comparing the two models. Personally, I don't think
that this functionality belongs in the ftpd either, however if it could be
provided as a build option/module, then I'm all for it. I would definately use
it though either way it was presented to me. I can always choose to disable or
not to use it.

Let's kill this thread. Here's the summary:
- onupload is proposed as a trigger after STOR which runs an external
program as a specified user, passing it the file name STORed
This has been a Frequently Requested Feature for some time. It will
appear in a future VR patch set.
- virtual-retrieve is proposed as a trigger before RETR which runs an
external program as a specified user, passing it the name of the file
desired. This is like SITE EXEC, except the output pipes to the data
connection instead of the control connection.
While never requested openly on the list, I proposed this as it is
orthagonal to onupload and compliments the current features of the
daemon. This will appear in a future VR patch set.
- ondownload is proposed as a trigger after RETR which runs an external
program as a specified user, passing it the file name RETRieved.
There is no need for this feature since the same results are obtainable,
in a more reliable fashion, using existing features of the daemon. The
proponents, though, are equally intractable, so this too will appear in
a future VR patch set.

I don't think anyone is disputing the usefulness in the scenario you describe.
But (unless I misunderstand your description) you're describing a situation
where the file is uploaded to the server, and then an event is triggered.
Whereas I was asking whether anyone wanted to do this after downloading a
file from the server :-

Nevertheless, your two cents is welcome. And from what Gregory said in his
last email, it looks likely that he will end up implementing both options,
which should make everyone happy.

Exactly.
Also I agree with you that this should not be part of the ftpd.
We build a separate daemon, called Agentd, that runs all these
jobs. FTPDs connect to various agentds to make it happen.

I installed RedHat Linux 5.1 with WU-FTPD 2.4.2b16.
When I try to connect to my server via "ftp @IP" command, I get the
response "Connected to @IP" and nothing else !
My computer seems to wait indefinitely. Where's the problem ?
Thanks.

Subject: SUMMARY: Wu-ftp won't chroot
Content-Type: text/plain
X-Originating-IP: [198.110.249.26]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN
The frustrating poblem was this:
Trying to set up guest accounts which have limited access to the file
system.
I religiously followed all of the great documentation at:
http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/
But wu-ftp would not chroot, and guests had access to the entire file
system.
The cause of the problem?
A version of wu-ftp (that came on the "latest" Digital Internet Alpha
Server CD) that was from 1994.
The solution?
Download and compile the latest source found at:
http://www.academ.com/academ/wu-ftpd/release.html
Thanks to Gregory A Lundberg and Tom Webster for looking over my
configuration.
And many thanks to Gernot Salzer for sharing the source code of a
version of wu-ftp that works on Digital Unix.

@IP should be replaced with your IP name or number. Try this instead:
ftp localhost

Greg,
I tried to apply the line :
noretrieve /etc/*
to my latest installed VR8 (downloaded yesterday) but sadly couldn't get it
to work. I could still download files from /etc directory. It has no
problems if I were to specify single files (ie. noretrieve /etc/hosts
/etc/passwd ....) though.
Is my use of NORETRIEVE correct????
thks

Get the VR7-patched beta-18, or wait until the 1st and get VR8.

No. Use this instead:
noretrieve /etc
Very few of the features of wu-ftpd actually support filename globbing or
regular expressions. In fact, I'm just this week sitting down to work on
that deficiency in the daemon. There's several old requests about this.
Here's what I've got in my VR9 plan on this subject:
--
Support regular expressions in noretrieve. From a patch submitted to the
mailing list by
[email protected] on Apr 22, 1997.
Support globbing/wildcards throughout ftpaccess file. From a request sent
to the mailing list by
[email protected] on Oct 7, 1997. Patch posted to
the mailing list by
[email protected] on Oct 8, 1997.
Add 'allow-retrieve' to allow retrieval of files which would be denied by
earlier 'noretrieve' clauses. From a request sent to the mailing list by
[email protected] on Oct 7, 1997.
Include the 'password-check-kit' posted to the mailing list June 9, 1998,
by
[email protected]. This adds regular expression matching for
email addresses. The original kit checks the DNS for A and MX RRs; only
MX records should be verified since A records should never be used for
delivery of email and the idea is to determine if the email address given
could possibly be correct.

I have a perplexing situation...
I have set up the required directories (/etc /bin /dev /usr )... along with
the .foward and .rhosts files.
My question is what is the group supposed to be? Reason is that I have set
them up as root owned and only readable by root, but the owner is able to
remove them fine form the FTP client. I belive I have the group set right
for the required files and directories, but the user can still delete
them...

Actually, A records -should- be verified.
Sure, using an MX instead of an A implies less load on DNS servers, but
a lot of people don't know this, and this is really just a somewhat
small performance issue, not something wuftpd should get into
enforcing. Many people, including some experienced admins, use A's for
e-mail. We don't (at least, nothing we set up in the last couple of
years), but I expect quite a number of sites do.
wuftpd should duplicate what sendmail does, not create its own rules.
So there should also be a CNAME check (or you could just go through the
C library for this part), and there should also (nasty as they are) be a
wildcard MX check (tho the DNS may do this transparently).
sendmail's dns_getcanonname() is perhaps the right function to emulate
or replicate.
When it comes to computer protocols, you should always be liberal in
what you accept, and conservative in what you produce.

Hello all,
Why is my mget command failing for a legal guest user.
mget *.xyz is in a script that gets fired off at the desktop.
Do I need to add glob? How?
Or do I need to make changes to wuftp?

'mget' is a client-side thing and not part of the FTP protocol. The
question is what failed. Was it that the client couldn't list the
directory contents?

No. It's already in the client.

No. The server can't help with 'mget' but you probably have it set up
wrong. If it's that the NLST (external ls) command isn't working, check
the FAQ.
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.

Hi all,
Just a simple question:
I'm right to compile/install wu-ftpd-2.4.2-b18 over SunOS 4.1.4, but
I'd like to use lbind (bind 8.1.2) instead of the old lresolv that comes with
SunOS. Does it make sense? Or it will not makes any difference to wu-ftpd...?
Thanks

This isn't a performance issue. Sites concerned about performance will
likely want all the DNS activity removed (hence, the NO_DNS option in
VR8).

I believe the RFC (or at least a BCP) says you shouldn't attempt delivery
without an MX. The proposition is the MX is advertisement of willingness
to accept mail and the lack of one should not be taken to mean the the
host will accept it directly.
Sendmail attempts the delivery on the supposition that (a) well, if it
takes it, that's fine but what we're hoping is (b) maybe an MX will show
up while this email is in the queue.

Yes, the check should look through CNAMEs to see if the target has an MX.

Reading that function does point out the check will need to walk toward
the root domain ('.') to see if there are any wildcard MX records to be
found higher up.

The daemon won't care all that much. Personally, I've given up on the
pain of trying to link against the new bind libraries and use whatever the
defaults are on the machine, hoping that it won't make too much
difference. Never noticed it has. Someday people might start putting in
code which requires the new features of bind, but until then I don't think
it matters (or at least haven't seen any problems).

It's a performance issue to sendmail, according to the bat book.

This violates the "liberal in what you accept" principal. You really
should be able to use an A. If you refuse an e-mail address that
sendmail accepts, people are going to think wuftpd is confused about
what an e-mail address really is. Hence you're going to end up
answering a bunch of silly questions about why it "doesn't work" - and
worse, simply drive people away from using sites configured with the DNS
check. (Every bug report should be assumed to have 9 other people
who've encountered the same bug and just given up)

According to the README in the cf section of the latest sendmail,
"nodns" is a "nop" at the moment. If you do not want DNS, you should
remove it from /etc/nsswitch.conf.

We're not writing a mail server at all.
That adage is for protocol issues. This is a security feature. For
security it reads, "be draconian and if they don't like it, tough."
The idea is to see if the email address could possibly be delivered. An
MX says 'yes'. No MX says 'dunno, try again later'. This is a security
check, there is no later to try.

Then be more careful with your contradictions. You should have said
"not a performance issue to wuftpd" not "not a performance issue".

If you refuse MXless A's, you're almost certainly going to drive away a
class of legitimate users you should have granted access to.

An

According to the bat book, no MX says "try the A immediately", not "try
again later". IE, an A alone works fine, it's just a bit slower (hence
my mention of the performance issue), because the DNS server gets two
requests instead of one (MX check, then A check; instead of just MX
check).
If you want "possibly delivered", as you say, then you need to check for
A's, assuming the bat book isn't incorrect.

I have tried uploading files using wsftp ftp program and each time
the transfer fails (I can login to the ftp server fine, it's just on the
transfer). Are there any permissions that I need to set for my ftp
directories to allow me to upload files?
Thanks,

Yes. I've put together an example site. Go to
ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/examples
and browse about.

Could someone give me a wu-ftp loggin 101 lesson? I don't have
access to the faq (no http / ftp connection),
and was hopping to get a quick refresher!

Just returned from my vacation - and brought you all a nice present ;)
Highlights:
+ Add (EXPERMIENTAL) support for using alternate passwd/shadow files
+ Add (EXPERIMENTAL) support for the HOST command - this enables running
different virtual servers on the same IP and port.
* Fix detection of symlink capability
* Make internal ls use less memory at a time ("ls -laR /" is no longer a
problem)
* Fix all important bugs in internal ls
* Speed up internal ls
* Stop ftpck from complaining about "invalid directive"s that are not
invalid, but new...
* Updates to manpages
* Repeat DNS lookups only if gethostbyaddr returned a recoverable error.
* Code cleanup
* Compatibility fixes (utmp entries)
* Warn if "virtual" command is used in ftpaccess if we're compiled without
support for virtual hosts
* Permit -X option
This time, I consider the internal ls so stable that I'm using it on my
own servers - it's probably worth a try.
Also, I've put up a pre-release version of kBeroFTPD 1.0.0, a KDE frontend
for generating BeroFTPD's ftpaccess files.
They can be found at the usual places:
ftp://ftp.aachen.linux.de/pub/BeroFTPD/
ftp://ftp.croftj.net/usr/bero/BeroFTPD/
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/nir/ftp/servers/BeroFTPD/
ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/BeroFTPD/

A little background: I'm running wu-2.4.2-academ[beta-15] on a Red Hat

using Unix/Linux for a couple months.
What I'm trying to do is set up an alias for the directory
"/usr/local/games/quake2/baseq2/players/male" to the "/pub/male"
directory (really /home/ftp/pub/male) I.E., so anonymous FTP users can
write to "/usr/local/games/quake2/baseq2/players/male". I've tried
using a symbolic link under "/pub" (really /home/ftp/pub), but that
didn't seem to work. Here's my ftpaccess file:

I'd move /usr/local/games/quake2 to /home/quake2, symlink the old location
to the new one, and then you can hardlink the players files (if
hardlinking the dirs doesn't work) into the public ftp area. Symlinking
won't work because the quake2 is in a different dir structure than the
chroot'd /home/ftp and hardlinking won't work until they're on the same
filesystem.
Another option would be to loopback mount the players dir into the ftp
area. That'd allow read/write through the /usr/local/games mount point
and read-only through ftp, which would probably be a good idea. How this
works depends upon the system you're running. On Linux check man losetup.

Hi Folks,
I have problem with netscape ftp with wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 16.
I looked in the faqs and they said to do a chmod of ~ftp/dev/tcp to 666
to make netscape working but it still doesn't work after the changes.
I didn't have the ~ftp/dev directory so I created the directory
Here's a listing of ~ftp/dev in ftp directory
d--x--x--x 2 root root 1024 Oct 4 15:58 dev
I also created a file in ~ftp/dev named tcp
Here's a listing of ~ftp/dev/tcp in ~ftp/dev directory
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Oct 4 16:15 tcp
I'm not certain if it should be a normal file or a device
file like those in /dev so I also tried creating a caracter
file like this one:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 18, 3 Oct 4 15:58 tcp
but I still have problems with netscape ftp
What's wrong? do i need a tcp file in /dev also?
Can someone help me with this problem??
thanks in advance
Stephane

You'll need to say more the 'it fails' .. what's failing? Does it
connect? Can you transfer files? Is it that you cannot see the directory
contents?
The most likely reason is you've not completely set things up. It's
extremely rare that the vendor's documentation for anonymous FTP plus the
FAQ don't have the answer.
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.

I'm running redhat 5.1 with linux kernel 2.0.34. Initially
there was no tcp file in /dev and no ~ftp/dev directory.
The problem is that sometimes netscape don't display the
directory contents and if I press the stop button the
directory contents will be displayed and I will be able
to transfer files. I'm running communicator 4.05 for windows.
The linux version of communicator was working well without
the tcp file in ~ftp/dev.
I'm confused !!! May be it's my home computer with the ppp link
that cause this problem. I'll try my business computer tomorrow
and i'll give some feedback..
Can you tell me what the /dev/tcp file do? Is it necessary?

Linux doesn't need any special devices for the FTP daemon. The /dev/tcp
information in the FAQ is for other platforms.

You have an incomplete setup for the external 'ls' command. Probably
because you're using Redhat's shared-libraries version and are missing the
libraries.
I've an example site layout at
ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/examples which
may help you. It's laid out presuming statically linked programs, so no
libraries are required. Statically-linked Linux binaries are also
available at my site, if you need them.

I rather doubt things will be much different.

Hi!
Please, help me!
I'm running the wu-ftpd version 2.4.2-Beta-18-VR8 in Solaris-2.5.1 .
I can't use on the fly tar and compression because
it doesn't work. I can use tar or gzip or compress, but not together.
What is the wrong? Could anybody help me?

Hello,
A year ago, we installed wu-ftp with anonymous user count (read-write in
incoming). Last week we were used by pirats as an intermediate site. So
we decided to allow writing in incoming only to a specific user called
mapftp, with password. I have created with a restricted shell (like
ftponly). If I use ws_ftp to test, I get "access denied" for this user
mapftp. What is wrong?
Thanks for you help

I believe there's a program named 'pipe' you need to have installed with
the tar and compress executables. Also, I think there's a special
ftpconversions in doc/examples for Solaris.

You're using a special shell. Did you add it to /etc/shells? Otherwise,
check the setup and read the FAQ; and give a bit more detailed description
if you re-post for a followup.

Hi,
I did the test this morning from 3 differents platforms (Aix, winNT4.0 and win95)
with netscape
communicator and my ftp server is working well from each platform so I guess I
have a problem
with my computer at home. I checked all the answer you gave me and everything was
looking fine
to me.
thanks to all that answer my questions
One more question: How can you see if "ls" is correctly statically linked?

If you download the WU-FTPD Solaris Package for 2.5.1 you'll have
everything necessary to configure your FTP Server correctly for Solaris.
The pipe program is included with the package as well as the correct
ftpconversions file.

BeroFTPD 1.1.13 is in the usual places:
ftp://ftp.aachen.linux.de/pub/BeroFTPD/
ftp://ftp.croftj.net/usr/bero/BeroFTPD/
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/nir/ftp/servers/BeroFTPD/
ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/BeroFTPD/
Changes this time:
+ Merge VR7 changes (
ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd):
* Extended logging for rejected and failed login attempts
* Added PARANOID check to deny login if a real user's home directory is
bad
* Don't respond to *ANY* commands except USER, PASS and QUIT until the
remote user logs in successfully.
* Extended upload and noretrieve to have an optional parameter which
specifies whether the named file/directory is interpreted as an
absolute name or relative to the current chroot'd environment.
* The HELP_CRACKERS patch was too agressive and, if message files were
defined for 'deny' and 'limit' could tickle bugs in ftp clients.
* Extend log security
* Some compatibility fixes
* Work around a gcc optimization bug (noretrieve filename didn't ignore
the directory, as it ought to); The old BeroFTPD code was correct, but
gcc miscompiled it on some platforms.

Does wu-ftp support auto logons through use of the .netrc file?
If so, how soes one set it up to work. I've installed wu-ftp and have it
working beutifully for remote ftp users. What I need now is the
functionality of auto logins to remote servers by local users using
netrc files. We use this for getting edi files.

wu-ftpd doesn't care how the client logs in, just so it does. you'll have
to read the manpage for ncftp (or whatever client you're using) on how to
set up the client.

I believe you can also use GNU tar with the -z option, which calls gzip
transparently. I could be wrong, but in this case I think you may not
need pipe. No doubt someone will correct me if pipe is still needed for
this...

account without a problem. I can not however see anything in the directory or
upload/download from it. This is being done with CuteFTP client. The directory
is set chmod 775 as per instructions. Any help would appreciated.

You need to finish setting up the external 'ls' command. This is a FAQ:
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.

I have a situation where the dos-box ftp client that ships with
win95 (build 4.00.950) hangs at the username prompt, but only
when a banner is displayed. Without a banner the login
sequence works fine.
I visited the Microsoft support web site and found nothing in the
knowledge base regarding this. Is there an updated client that
solves this problem? Or is this a server problem?

Jim

whoah, I haven't heard of this one for years. It is a very old ftp
client problem, and the fix is to put a dash in front of the password
to tell it not to play the banner. From the ftpd.c source:
/* Disable lreply() if the first character of the password is '-' since
* some hosts don't understand continuation messages and hang... */

No, not quite. The problem is that the client hangs after the
user name is input but before the password prompt. The user
never gets the chance to put a '-' in front of his password.
The banner is displayed after the connection and before the
login process. There is no login text file associated with this
particular user id.

You apparently don't have an ls command in that user's chroot structure -
either place a statically linked ls into /home/thatuser/bin, or get
BeroFTPD 1.1.13 which implements ls internally.

Greg,
I've just tried to ftp download a file from my server (AIX 4.3.1 running
wuftpd ver 2.4.2 beta-18 vr8 aix.3.2.5) using EXCEED as my FTP client. This
is the error message I got :
451 local resource failure : malloc : Invalid argument
However, using Microsoft FTP, there was no problem.
I reinstalled using wuftpd ver2.4.2 beta-18 vr8 (not AIX 3.2.5 precompiled
version) and still got the same error msg. Again, with Microsoft FTP, there
was no problem.
When I downgraded the wu-ftp version to just wuftpd ver 2.4.2 beta-18, I
didn't encounter the malloc error using EXCEED or MICROSOFT FTP.
Errr.... any ideas????
rgds and thks.

Hi,
Thanks everybody for help!
I solved my problems :-) but i got new ones :-(
I found a letter in the wu-ftpd conference archive
where there's a full answer on my question.
Thanks to Alain Magloire.
I corrected my ftpconversions file and created symbolic
links in /bin for gzip and tar.
Besides I included his message at button of this letter.
About new problems. I'm sorry I can't understand
what I should do to upload files with on the fly decompression?
Next one, when I got files with on the fly compression by gzip
and run: gunzip -v test.tar.gz, I see: "decompression OK. trail garbage
ignored".
Why does it happen?
Help me please.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Alexander Velichko.

when you invoke tar(GNU tar) with the options -z or -Z
it will execpl() the gzip(for -z) or compress(for -Z)
and the paths are the ones it found at compile time
maybe something like "/usr/local/gnu/bin/gzip"
you should have something like :
: : :.tar.Z:/bin/tar -c --use-compress-program=/bin/compress -f -
%s:T_REG|TDIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+COMPRESS
: : :.tar.gz:/bin/tar -c --use-compress-program=/bin/gzip -f -
%s:T_REG|T_DI:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+GZIP
the --use-compress-program will indicate the right paths
Warning: Of course these only will work for anonymous ftp
because of the chroot i.e. tar will be able to find a /bin/gzip
But for real users WITHOUT the chroot("/home/ftp"), ...
I doubt you have under /bin (realpath) Gnu Tar and gzip.
If you want to make work for real and anonymous
1-
Take a look at Koos's wu-ftpd FAQ, he explains how to set up a pipe
to alleviate this problems and use plain tar.
2-
recreate the hierachie under /home/ftp
i.e
/home/ftp/usr/local/gnu/bin/{gzip,tar}
with the necessary libs if no statically link
3-
do nothing ;-)
one type, real or anonymous depending on ftpconversions, will not be able to
do
get dir.tar.gz

ftpconversions only applies to download. on-the-fly compression during
upload is a client-side problem. The ftp daemon cannot help with it.

Can you get a log of the commands so I can see what's happening and track
this down?

I'm trying to setup BeroFTPD with Virtual host support, but can only seem
to get to the primary server. I've setup an ftpservices file, etc., but I
can't figure out how to define the hostnames... really, quite lost, as the
documentation seems to be MIA for non-IP based virtual hosts.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

The FTP protocol does NOT support non-IP based virtual hosts at all. This
is not a deficiency in the daemon, it is a requirement of the protocol
itself; no FTP server supports non-IP based virtual hosts.
BeroFTPD has an EXPERIMENTAL feature to support them, but this feature is
ONLY usable by FTP Client authors so they may test new versions of their
software in preparation for the next-generation FTP specification.

Hi,
I have followed the new FAQ in creating a guest account. I am using RH 5.1 as
the O/S and have made a copy of /lib from the /ftp directory and placed it in
the guest directory. I have also placed the "ls" file in the /bin directory. I
can see everything in the directory - files and other directories, but can not
transfer anything to it or out of it. The directory, including the /upload
directory is set chmod 755 with the user (lurgi) and group (ftp_user) as the
owners. The /etc/passwd file has been edited with the home directory -
/home/lurgi/./ and I have created the ftponly script in /bin and have placed
that as the user shell /bin/ftponly (with the addition to the /etc/shell file).
I have added the passwd and group files to the /home/lurgi/etc directory and
edited them as per your FAQ with my modifications. The ftpaccess file looks as
such:
loginfails 2
class local real,guest,anonymous *.midrex.com
class remote real,guest,anonymous *
limit local 20 Any /etc/msgs/msg.toomany
limit remote 100 Any /etc/msgs/msg.toomany

Change this to read:
upload /home/ftp /upload/* yes root daemon 0600 nodirs
1) You don't want to allow uploading '/uploadhereforwarez'
2) You want to allow uploading only inside the directory '/upload/'
3) You don't want to allow directories inside there since they won't
be usable anyway.
4) PAY ATTENTION HERE: Do you really want the uploaded file to be owned by
'root'? I'd suggest creating an ftpadmin user and group and having it
own the uploaded files.

I think I had the same problem. Try circumventing it by doing this:
In the source code ftpd.c, find the label 'case TYPE_L:'. The following
line should be
if ((buf = (char *) malloc((u_int) blksize)) == NULL) {
Replace it with:
if ((buf = (char *) malloc(8192)) == NULL) {
Recompile and test. I would be curious to know if it fixed your problem.
It fixed mine, but
I am enough of a 'C' expert to know exactly why.

[email protected] reports errors on AIX with malloc.
[email protected] confirms a problem in send_data(). This patch is
experimental against VR8 to attempt to correct the problem. I'm working
on the supposition that the problem is data alignment; the 'blksize' is
off_t and malloc() wants a size_t. I've added a conversion step which
should eliminate the problem.
While this patch is against VR8, it should work against all VR versions
and against the base, beta-18 version. Hand editing will be required
against beta-18 and VR versions up to VR4 since the THROUGHPUT first
appeared in VR5. After VR5, this patch should apply cleanly.

I guess I am missing something here. I tried the below suggestion - /upload/*.
Still no ability to upload in the users home directory. Can't even upload to the
standard ftp/upload directory. I changed the group to ftp_users but kept the
root user just until I get it to work. Maybe I don't understand the directory
structuring of the system. Here is how it looks on my system:
/home
/home/ftp
/home/ftp/upload
/home/ftp/lib (etc...)
/home/lurgi
/home/lurgi/upload
/home/lurgi/lib (etc...)
/home/samba
/home/http
etc...
Am I doing something wrong with the dir structure? My understanding is that I
can create a separate home directory for each user and set it up as a "guest"
account and it will act the same as ftping into the standard ftp site as
anonymous except that it will be in the users personal home directory. Is that
correct? Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated. Anything else I can do
or try?

Change this to read:
upload /home/ftp /upload/* yes root daemon 0600 nodirs
1) You don't want to allow uploading '/uploadhereforwarez'
2) You want to allow uploading only inside the directory '/upload/'
3) You don't want to allow directories inside there since they won't
be usable anyway.
4) PAY ATTENTION HERE: Do you really want the uploaded file to be owned by
'root'? I'd suggest creating an ftpadmin user and group and having it
own the uploaded files.

Subject: RFC 931 authentication
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN
Attempting to build Beta 18, I discover that RFC 931 code is present,
but is pretty firmly excluded. Yes, I can easily include it, but
does this indicate that it is not fully supported?
Naturally, I am not crazy enough to rely on the identification, but
it can save a fair amount of poking around when chasing up users who
have done something odd or triggered a problem. So, I am being
foolish to enable it?

This has been on Stan's TODO list for some time now (ie., years). I'd
never noticed the code was there, just diabled.
If you to enable it, there's a few things to look out for:
- While it's called from the mainline (ftpd.c) there is no support for
A_RFC931 there. That means the code will detect that the user was
authenticated via RFC931, but there is no way to handle that as a
special case. This has effect in the password check logic for
anonymous users (it will insert their username in the suggested
response if they supply a password the daemon doesn't like). It also
has effect in the xferlog (the name from RFC931 is logged). There's a
comment about a magic cookie (%u) which should display the RFC931 name,
but the code for that cookie is not present.
- The login time will be extended by the time it takes for the RFC931
transaction to occur. If the remote system does not respond quickly,
the user may become frustrated at the appearently slow response time
from the server.
If you enable this code and it works, send me a private email and I'll see
about finishing out the code (adding the magic cookie).
I think the main reason a lot of people don't care whether this code is
present is you can get the same effect, a lot easier and more reliably,
using the tcpwrappers (tcpd) on the command-line in your inetd.conf file.

The documentation is virtually nonexistant because you shouldn't be using
it unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing.
The HOST command, which is used for this, is currently in no RFC (though
it has been discussed), I've just put in a preliminary support for the
draft.
If you want to access a non-IP based virtual host, you need a client that
supports it. Currently there is NO client supporting it directly; however,
I have made a patch for netkit-ftp that will allow it to access non-IP
virtual hosts
(
ftp://beroftpd.unix.eu.org/pub/BeroFTPD/HOST/netkit-ftp.diff.gz), so if
you want to use it internally, you can.
I hope other clients will follow shortly.

Hello,
I'm running Version wu-2.4(1) on a Solaris 2.4 machine. I created a new
user with the useradd command and now I want that user to be able to upload
files to a directory under /private. But, everytime I try and upload
something it says permission denied (Upload). I modified the ftpaccess so
that uploads are allowed to the private directory, but not luck.
Any ideas?

I tried to apply your patch and got the following error :

In addition, I encountered a few other peculiarities :
a. After applying CHAPAN's suggested code replacement (b4 applying your
patch), there were no entries of my attempts to open, navigate and get
files
from the FTP Server. Neither were there any debugging breakdown of commands
in ftpd.debug and ftpd.info (from syslogd). Only entries in those 2 files
were the
FTP LOGIN and FTP session closed statements. Although I could "open" a file
on the FTP server after applying CHAPAN's code, the file was blank. I
could
also "get" a file from the FTP server but the file would be 0 bytes in
size. Putting files into the FTP server worked ok though.

b. Upon entering my FTP server, I could see the directory structure.
After changing to a sub-directory, I would not be able to see the
directories in the
sub-directory that I had navigated to. If I were to put a file into that
sub-directory though, the directory structure in that sub-directory would
appear as if it were refreshed
or something like that.
I'm running AIX 4.3.1 testing your wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr8 version
(without any of the patches VR8.1 - VR8.5)
Hope the above helps......

[email protected] reports errors on AIX with malloc.
[email protected] confirms a problem in send_data(). This patch is
experimental against VR8 to attempt to correct the problem. I'm working
on the supposition that the problem is data alignment; the 'blksize' is
off_t and malloc() wants a size_t. I've added a conversion step which
should eliminate the problem.
While this patch is against VR8, it should work against all VR versions
and against the base, beta-18 version. Hand editing will be required
against beta-18 and VR versions up to VR4 since the THROUGHPUT first
appeared in VR5. After VR5, this patch should apply cleanly.

Probably it's a bad copy of the patch. My fault for sending it in the
email rather than an attachment. Try getting it from my ftp site. You
seem to know where to look; it's VR8.11 .. take it, don't touch the other
patches unless you really like playing with fire.

CHAPAN's patch was to set the malloc() site to a constant 8K bytes without
changing the size of the read() .. very dangerous. If the read() was for
over 8K this would guarentee a buffer overrun. One possible length for
the read() is BUFSIZ, set in the C runtime (stdio.h on Linux sets it to 1K
bytes). Another is 1, or 2, times the natural block size for the file
system (as determined stat() or lstat() function) which could be quite
large.

Yep, sounds like a buffer overrun.

I should hope you're not using any other VR8.x patch. Those patches are
my working notes for VR9 and should be considered HIGHLY experimental;
like we're doing with this one. Just so you get the idea how dangerous
they are, I'll tell you that if you were to apply all of them, the
"upload" clause would probably begin denying upload permissions to
everyone (which caused me to turn off part of one of the patches on my
local server).

First .. get the current version. 2.4 is VERY old and shouldn't be used
unless you have no connection to any networks or don't care a bit about
security. The current version is 2.4.2-beta-18
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.

Today's the day for upload questions. Including my breaking it trying
something new. Here's how upload works, at least for the first two
parameters:
upload <pwdir> <cwdir> ...
<pwdir> is matched against the users home directory. This upload clause
ONLY applies to users who have the specified home.
<cwdir> is matched against the directory where the uploaded file will be
placed. This can be a file glob .. and that's where most people go wrong.
Here's an example from my ftpaccess file.
----
# remember for wu-ftpd upload "what is not denied is allowed"
# I can't upload
upload /home/users/lundberg * no
# Except to a FILE in the /tmp directory
upload /home/users/lundberg /tmp yes nodirs
# Or in my own HOME
upload /home/users/lundberg /home/users/lundberg yes
# Or in a subdirectory of my HOME
upload /home/users/lundberg /home/users/lundberg/* yes
# Or to the anonymous FTP incoming directory
upload /home/users/lundberg /home/ftp/incoming yes vrnet vrnet 440 nodirs
# Anonymous users can't upload
upload /home/ftp * no
# Except to a FILE in the incoming area
upload /home/ftp /incoming yes vrnet vrnet 440 nodirs
# I'm using beta-18-vr8 so I can use globs on the <pwdir> ...
# None of my users can upload to the filesystem root, /bin or /etc
# Everyone is chroot'd to /home/users so this refers to the chroot area
upload /home/users/* / no
upload /home/users/* /bin no
upload /home/users/* /bin/* no
upload /home/users/* /etc no
upload /home/users/* /etc/* no
----
Net effect, my users and anonymous visitors can upload ONLY where I want.
And, with VR8 patches, I can even have the daemon stop my users uploading
into system areas without depending upon file and directory permissions.
Cool. The only time they see 'permission denied' is if one user tries to
upload to another's home. (Maybe someday I'll do a VR patch to deny even
that. There's an old request for that, too.)

Tons of messages? I have only sent 2 so far... All of this has already been done
as per the latest guest FAQ. The directories are chmoded 775 (the user directory
and the upload directory that is). Files are set up exactly as per the guest
FAQ. I can see the files and directories, so "ls" is working. I just can not
transfer files into either the / directory or /upload. It says file transferred,
but no file... I check on the ftp server to see if it did transfer, but no file.
The directories are owned by the user I am connecting as. Don't really know what
else could be the problem...Thanks for the help
Shon

OK OK OK I have seen tons of messages from you about a little problem...
What are the permissions on the files??? rwx-r-x---? rwx-r-x-r-x?
IF the owner is sombody other than what the owner of the program is say
FTP you will have to make sure that the group is set? What is the group
of the program??? OK lets say we do something special here..
We set up the ftp in a directory /ftpjunk
in that directory we have /etc, /lib, /usr, /tmp, /upload and the
such... NOW what we do is put a basic /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow in
the directory strip out all the crap as specified in WU-FTP install
docs.. (Please NOTE, I have only installed this once at this time...)
Now we may even need a /etc/group lets create a user
ftper lets create a group ftpme
what is the ownership of up load??? (root other? root sys?)
what it should be is ftper and ftpme or in the least whatever ftpme AND
perms of the group should be something like 775.
AM I on track or am I jumping and saying something way off base for what
you are doing... I only scanned briefly what is stated in your document.

Hello,
With wu-ftpd, when anonymous users ftp in and try a
sublogin with the "user" command, they get this message:
Can't change user from guest login.
Is there a way to allow sublogins for anonymous ftp?
Are there any security issues by allowing sublogins in
anonymous ftp.
Thanks,

Gregory,
I have downloaded the binaries of wu-ftpd for intel linux from your site. I
tried to compile from scratch (wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 18 vr8), but kept getting
errors and it would not compile ftpd or ftpcount. So now I have your
pre-compiled binaries (2.4.2-beta 18 vr8). I do have beta 17 that came installed
with RH 5.1. Only problem now is that I have two ftpd binaries. The file
inetd.conf calls for /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a -o. I did find in.ftpd in the
/usr/sbin directory. There is another binary in /etc/logrotate.d/ called ftpd.
I am confused here. Which do I upgrade or replace? Or do I just rename your ftpd
to in.ftpd? Your help is greatly appreciated.
Shon

first, make sure you're installing the current version, beta-18. ISTR
there were problems with earlier versions .. at least, I complained a lot
about them to Stan (to no avail). I _think_ things bagan to work better
in beta-18.
If you're using beta-16 (which I think is what came on RH 5.x CDs), try
the following instead:
upload / /upload* yes root daemon 600 nodirs
As for your directory layout questions, I have a sample FTP site you can
check out at
ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/examples/
there are also pre-compiled binaries in the public w-ftpd area for most
things linux for a ftp site.

Not with wu-ftpd. Once the user has logged in anonymously, the daemon has
chroot'd to the anonymous FTP area and the system password file(s) are no
longer available.
> Are there any security issues by allowing sublogins in anonymous ftp.
If the password file were available after anonymous login, script kiddies
could get it and run crackers and guessers against it. You'd soon find
someone with both a valid user name and password, and your superuser
password telnet'd in and having a bit of fun.

Check your ftpaccess file. Subtle typos or format errors have been known
to cause problems. I see you're grabbed some files from my site; email
off the list if you're still having problems.

Better solution: get the current version.
2.4-academ is VERY old and should not be used unless your computer never
connects to any network or you don't care a bit aobut security.
The current version is wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18.tar.Z
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.

I've finally gotten virtual servers to work on my system (SPARCserver 1000,
SunOS 2.5, gcc). The solution was to use a wrapper to start wu-ftpd.
This information should be added to the VIRTUAL.FTP.SUPPORT file.

I've got virtual servers up and running on SunOS 2.5. I'd like to have
users end up in different directories depending on who they login as and
which ip address they login to.
In ftpaccess I specify:
virtual 999.999.999.30 root /export/home0
virtual 999.999.999.31 root /export/home1
(bogus ip just for illustration)
Is there a way for joe-user to login and end up in
/export/home0/joe-user
/export/home1/joe-user
and
mary-user to end up in
/export/home0/mary-user
/export/home1/mary-user
respectively for the .30 and .31 address?

With base, beta-18:
No
With beta-18-vr8:
Almost. Only one virtual site per user, though.
With BeroFTPD:
Yes. and you can have different passwords on each virtual server as
well.

Oooppssss...
I have installed the new BeroFTPD 1.1.13 and when a user log in using
his username and password, everything works fine until the user try
to upload a file. This give the message:
553 Could not determine pwdir: No such file or directory.
What's up...?

Bernard reported that problem after merging VR8 into 1.1.12; we're working
on it.

Hi all,
First time writing here.
Looks like there is some common set of features people would like
to have in FTP servers ( as well as in POP3 and others ).
For some time I was slightly rewriting WU-FTPD and now my version
( based on beta 18 ) can handle completely independend users sets
for each virtual server too.
If anybody is interested I can put it on FTP site.
There is another feature, however. All users data is placed to
database ( for now it is MySQL ), though passwords from /etc/passwd
are valid as well.
And there also is a way to restrict user's access to his
home directory, merely blocking commands concerned files outside it.

No, because an anonymous ftp login causes a chroot() call, which can not
be undone.
For what would you want to use them?

It's a bug in 1.1.13 that turned up while merging in the VR7 changes - I'm
currently working on it, and it will be fixed in 1.1.14.
Until then, use 1.1.12 (
ftp://beroftpd.unix.eu.org/pub/BeroFTPD/obsolete).

I think what you're looking for is probably handled by setting up a private group. Check out the man page for ftpaccess and see the part about "private <yes|no>".

rhosts prevents/allows Sun RPC-style logins (rsh, rexec, etc) on the
account. If it's not present, no restrictions are placed on where someone
may log in from. Create it as a 0-byte file, or link it to /dev/null, and
nobody can log in on the account using Sun RPC protocols. Write access
isn't required unless you want the PREVENT such logins.
forward sends all mail for the user 'ftp' someplace else. You could do
that with a sendmail alias (or the equivalent on your system), but that's
separate from the ftp area and it's easy to forget. If mail to 'ftp' is
not forwarded,it's unlikely anyone will ever read it and clear it out. A
malicious user could take advantage of this to send a large number of
large emails until the filesystem containing the mail spool is filled.
Trust me, that's not pretty. In fact, if you're using a default install
of for example, RedHat Linux (please, no flames, all Unix systems
suffer from this, I name RedHat because it's so popular) the mail spool is
probably on your root filesystem. Filling that is *bad* .. it will not
only crash your machine, you won't be able to boot it back up.
A number of ftp admins may say, "I don't run those services, so I don't
need to worry." Experience says you're wrong. You may not run them
today, but you don't know what might be running tomorrow. Will you
remember all these little things in unrelated areas if you suddenly find
you must run rexec or sendmail on the machine? Probably not. Create the
files now, while you're thinking about it and save yourself the headaches
later.
WARNING: there was a note on bugtraq yesterday to the effect that linking
these files to /dev/zero is *bad* .. don't do that. .rhosts shoud be an
real file or linked to /dev/null. .forward should be a real file
containing a real email address or, if your system supports it, piping the
email to /dev/null
While we're on the subject of files you should create, there's another:
notar
When present in a directory, '.notar' informs the WU-FTPD daemon that it
is not to allow execution of the TAR ftpconversions naming this as the
_base_ directory for the tarball. Tar can be used to bypass other
restrictions placed upon the server (for instance, noretrieve). So, if
you don't want people to be able to download your passwd and group files
(for instance), you need to create two '.notar' files: one in the root
directory and one in etc;
touch ~ftp/.notar
touch ~ftp/etc/.notar
These files should be read-only or no-access (chmod 0 ~ftp/.notar) since
the daemon only checks for the file's existance and never actually
accesses it.
I recommend libral use of .notar; put one in every directory except those
you specifically WANT to allow to be tar'd. Remember that tar'ing a
directory implies tar'ing the subdirectorie so marking a sub-directory
notar without marking the parent also allows users to bypass the
restriction.

That's a good first-reaction, but in my experience 99.99% of the people
asking for this are looking for 'guestgroup' ..
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.

I know this is kind of out of topic, could someone help me to solve this
question?
As I can see from Beroftpd, it can specify to read password file other
than /etc/passwd. I am just wondering if I can actually move
/etc/passwd to another location for secruity issue? What I mean is that
not only ftp, all other application like email, telnet will actually
look up the passwd file in a different location. Anyway to specify a
alternate passwd file location for FreeBSD 2.25?
Another question is that how can I restrict people from using nslookup
to query my domain with the command ls -a domain_name.com? Thanks for
your help in advance
rgd,
Derek

It'd be a lot of work and hacking a lot of software for little or no gain.
Security through obscurity doesn't work. Take a look at shadow passwords
instead.
BeroFTPD doesn't use alternate passwd files for security, it does it for
flexability; so the virtual site can have virtual users all it's own.

Tell your Bind not to allow zone transfers except to authorized hosts or
firewall TCP to the DNS ports.

Theoretically it's possible... but I don't think it's worth the try.
First, it's a lot of work - you'd have to modify and recompile your libc so
getpwent(), getpwnam(), etc. access an alternate passwd file.
Next, you'd have to check all the programs you're using - if they're using
getpw* (or getsp*), the changes to your libc are enough, if they are using
some other means (fgetspent(), or maybe even raw file I/O), you have to
modify the filenames there, as well.
Second, what good will this do? AFAIK FreeBSD uses shadow passwords anyway,
and everyone must have read access to /etc/passwd or whatever you'll call it
anyway.
The option in BeroFTPD is primarily for virtual hosts, not for security
(i.e. if ftp.domain2.com is a virtual host on ftp.domain1.com, domain1.com
and domain2.com can both have a user webmaster, but with a different UID and
password).

It's some setting in named.conf (or named.boot if you're still using
BIND4) I don't recall - read the docs that come with bind.

I just built BeroFTPD 1.1.14 on my MkLinux box. I must say it builds very
nicely. But I found a harmless bug. I don't currently subscribe to
BeroFTPD mailing lists, so I don't know whether anybody else pointed it
out or not.
I built BeroFTPD with internal-ls-command. But I realized that when
listing the contents of directory, the internal ls command fails to show
user executable permission on subdirectories. eg.
ftp> cd pub/MkLinux/kernels
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.

Bernhard posted a fix for this, try grabbing:

crt1, crti, crtbegin, crtend are all part of the standard C
functionality. The above errors show that the machine that you are
trying to build wu-ftpd on misses most part of the C development kit
(it's a miracle 'make' is still working).
The solution is to find out which packages of Solaris are needed to
give development support and install these. You need a development
system to be able to compile C programs even if you don't use Solaris
cc.

I recently installed 2.4.2 on a Solaris 2.5.1 machine (after having run 2.4
for quite a while on a SunOS 4.1.4 machine). I also run FWTK ftp gateway.
I noticed in the logfile generated by 2.4.2, my internal hosts were now
correctly identified (e.g. hostname.tvdata.com) instead of just showing as
"localhost.tvdata.com". I was happy to see that, but about a week ago, the
log entries began to just show the connecting machine as "localhost".
Did I do something that would affect the log entry? I can't think of
anything I might have done. Has anyone run into this?

Hi !
ftpconversions don't work and i read all FAQ's and old archives....
I tried 10000 things..........
WU-ftpd works fine, but noooooo file conversion.....
My idea is to have a ftp-archive for one user.
The uploaded files will be "put" compressed and
the "get" uncompressed automatically.
1) My OS is SOLARIS 2.5.1
2) My wu-ftpd source is a precompiled version from
http://www.sunfreeware.com.
3) cat ftpaccess
class all real 185.2.30.52
limit all 10 Any /opt/WUftpd/messages/limit.msg
compress yes *
tar yes *
banner /opt/WUftpd/messages/banner.msg
message /opt/WUftpd/messages/login.msg login
message /opt/WUftpd/messages/cwd.msg cwd=*
log commands real
log transfers real inbound,outbound
4) cat ftpconversions
:.Z: : :/bin/uncompress %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:UNCOMPRESS
: : :.Z:/bin/compress %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:COMPRESS
5) pwd; ls
/opt/WUftpd/bin
ckconfig ftp ftpcount ftpwho
compress ftp-exec ftpshut uncompress
What i can do ??????????????
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! H E L P !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Send your e-mail to me, not to the mailing-list.

Try putting a copy of ftpconversions in the ~ftp/etc directory and make
sure you have all the parts of the tar, compress, gzip and any other
programs (pipe?) needed. Use the instructions for 'ls' in the FAQ, but
read it as if it were written for each of the other programs.

Hi,
I compiled and installed WU-FTP 2.4.2-academ[BETA-18] on a
SUN under Solaris 2.6. I configured it also for anonym. user,
but I can't get ls to work.
I setup the server like in a description in the WU-FTP WEB-page
(with ~ftp/bin; ~ftp/dev; ~ftp/usr/lib; etc.). But ls (or any
other dynam. program) doesn't work - yes, I copied all the
libs and setup all the other stuff.
I tried to run truss with the chroot command:
sh# truss chroot /var/ftp /bin/ls
..
chroot("/var/ftp") = 0
chdir("/") = 0
execve("/bin/ls", 0xEFFFFC8C, 0xEFFFFC94) argc = 1
open("/dev/zero", O_RDONLY) Err#6 ENXIO
open("/dev/zero", O_RDONLY) Err#6 ENXIO
ld.so.1: internal: malloc failedwrite(2, " l d . s o . 1 : i n t".., 32) = 32
getpid() = 24744 [24743]
*** process killed ***
..
it seems, ls can't open the zero device, which I created with the same
device numbers like the zero device under /devices/pseudo/...
Err#6 ENXIO means: No such device or address
Does anybody have an idea what I have to do, that the program can open
the device? The permission on the device are 00666 and the device is
a "c" device chreate with "mknod zero c <maj> <min>" .
Thanks for any help and suggestions.

Dumb question? With an average of around 820 ftp sessions, I get about six
of these messages per minute. What can I do about this?

Since it's dumb question day, I can join in. I keep getting this in my
message logs:
Oct 13 22:57:46 ftp02 ftpd[9378]: syslog: fopen on /dev/null failed, errno 2
Had a couple suggestions from people but so far nothing has worked. This
error started after upgrading to wu-ftp. Makes huge log files...

Possibly, you don't have the /dev/null defined in your chroot area. This
may be operating system dependent. You may want to verify what devices
your syslog routines require.

You people need to give more info...like OS, OS version, wu-ftpd version,
a little about the config, etc.
Since there's not much info, my wild guesses would be something's wrong
with /dev/null (what are the perms?) or this came from a chrooted ftpd and
there is no /home/ftp/dev/null (or wherever ftpd chrooted to).

Hi,
I'm not sure but may be /dev/zero permissions are not right.
Below is my /~ftp/dev tree:
dev:
total 0
crw-r--r-- 1 root sys 11, 42 Mar 17 1998 tcp
crw-r--r-- 1 root sys 13, 12 May 4 1996 zero
You should run the followings command to create ~ftp/dev with right devices:
cd ~ftp/dev
mknod zero c 13 12
mknod tcp c 11 42
chmod 644 *
That's all. I hope it helps you.
Sincerely,
Alexander Velichko

You're correct - they need to be world writeable under Solaris 2...
Here's my Solaris 2.5.1 ~ftp/dev tree :
crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 11, 42 Mar 26 1998 tcp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 105, 1 Mar 26 1998 ticotsord
crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 11, 41 Mar 26 1998 udp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 13, 12 Mar 26 1998 zero
There is some mention of this in the WU-FTPD FAQ at
http://www.cetis.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html
under question 10.13...
It is also covered in the How-To Guide For Solaris 2.5.x at
http://www.wildheart.org/wu-ftpd/
in the "Anonymous User Setup" section.
I recommend either of these documents if you have further problems.
Good luck !
Cheers, Bob

Subject: [VR9] More enhancements and bug fixes for beta-18
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN
The VR9 patch set for WU-FTPD 2.4.2 (beta-18) is now available.
This set adds additional features requested over the years by the user
community and includes a number of bug fixes for both the base (beta-18)
release and earlier VR patch sets.
These are available as both patches and pre-patched tarballs at my ftp
site:
ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/
If you take just the patch files, please remember: they are cumulative.
you cannot apply fixes from one set without earlier sets already having
been applied. The first set for BETA-18 is VR3; VR1 and VR2 were for
BETA-17 only.
Several pre-compiled binaries for VR9 are also available. These include:
Solaris/SunOS/Sparc
-------------
sunos41x-ftpbin.tar.gz (FTP support executables, ls etc.)
FTP242b18.wu-ftpd.2.4.2-beta18-VR9.SPARC.ULTRASparc.2.5.1.2.5.pkg.tar.Z
FTP242b18.wu-ftpd.2.4.2-beta18-VR9.SPARC.ULTRASparc.2.5.1.2.5.pkg.tar.gz
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr9-SunOS-4.1.3_U1.tar.gz
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr9-SunOS-5.6.tar.gz
SGI/IRIX
--------
irix62-ftpbin.tar.gz (FTP support executables, ls etc.)
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr9.irix62.bin.tar.gz
IBM/AIX
-------
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr9-AIX.3.2.5.tar.gz
Intel/BSDI
----------
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr9-BSDI-2.1.tar.gz
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr9-BSDI-3.1.tar.gz
Intel/Linux
-----------
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr9.linux.i386.tar.gz
Thanks to all those who helped with debugging and built the pre-compiled
binaries.
This is a list of fixes to BETA 18 with VR8 applied from
[email protected]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
realpath() needs root permissions to prevent errors under certain security
models. Noted by
[email protected] running VR7.
xferlog does not indicate success or failure. From a request on the
mailing list from
[email protected] on July 2, 1997. Patch from
[email protected] submitted privately on September 27, 1998.
Allow access control commands to use address/netmask or CIDR. This closes
Stan's TODO item 20. Patch submitted privately from
[email protected]
on September 15, 1998. Also corrected a hostname matching bug reported by
[email protected] on August 18, 1995. The change also includes
[email protected] request of December 10, 1996, to allow host names
instead of IP numbers and a request from October 13, 1997, by
[email protected]. to reduce the number of DNS lookups needed for
virtual host support.
[email protected] reported on October 2, 1998, his changes for DEC Unix
with C2 security were incorrect. He has confirmed these changes on OSF1
V3.2 41 alpha.
Support regular expressions in noretrieve. From a patch submitted to the
mailing list by
[email protected] on Apr 22, 1997.
Add 'allow-retrieve' to allow retrieval of files which would be denied by
earlier 'noretrieve' clauses. From a request sent to the mailing list by
[email protected] on Oct 7, 1997.
[email protected] reported on October 5, 1998, the extensions
for 'absolute' or 'relative' pathname comparison in earlier VR patches
were not case-insensitive. They should have been.
Ayamura Kikuchi <
[email protected]> submmitted the following patch on
September 28, 1998. It adds support for OPIE (One-time Passwords In
Everything). You will need OPIE libraries installed to use this. OPIE is
available from
ftp://ftp.inner.net/pub/opie/opie-2.32.tar.gz This feature
was originally submitted by
[email protected] on March 21, 1997, for
use with SunOS 4.1 with C2 security. Other features of that patch have
not been included.
Support globbing/wildcards throughout ftpaccess file for file and
directory comparisons.
[email protected] spotted another discrepancy between the ANSI
and K&R funciton definitions.
[email protected] reports errors on AIX with malloc.
[email protected] confirms a problem in send_data(). This patch is
experimental against VR8 to attempt to correct the problem. I'm working
on the supposition that the problem is data alignment; the 'blksize' is
off_t and malloc() wants a size_t. I've added a conversion step which
should eliminate the problem.
Added regular expression matching to deny-mail.
Noted a number of places where strcmp was used but strcasecmp would be
more appropriate. This makes the ftpaccess file easier to maintain since
small typographical errors won't matter so much any more.
[email protected] reports dead code left laying arround from
debugging VR8. Deleted it.
Changed my mind. Regular expressions don't work well unless there's some
way to tell they're there. Backed out all regular expression matching for
file/path names in the ftpaccess file. This issue will be re-evaluated in
a later VR patch set. Globbing still works everywhere it's reasonable to
use it.
Cleaned up a few large, confusing 'if' statements in the code.

Hey guys
I've downloaded the wu-ftpd-2.4.2.1500.exe file, unpacked it, and
installed it using smit.
Work fine. Then I've tried setting it up for test like in the faq:
Added to ports to /etc/services:
ftptest 8521/tcp #command port
ftptest-data 8520/tcp #data port
And then added the following line to /etc/inetd.conf :
ftptest stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/ftpd my.ftpd
Then I restarted the deamon using:
refresh -s inetd
But...when I do a ps -ef | grep ftp ...nothing, no ftpd running...no
nothing :-(
Anyone got any ideas? I'm a novice installing unix software,
so...anyone?
Thanks in advance
Claus Larsen

Using inetd, as you are, the daemon will not be running unless someone has
actually connected to it. netstat will show inetd is listening on the
ftptest port for new connections. start an ftp session and check ps
again.

Good. The person who built it will be glad to here that, too.

All previous VR patch sets are included in the pre-built binaries and the
pre-patched tarballs. The patches are also available as separate files so
others can see what, exactly, has changed or roll them into a personal
version of the daemon.

Looks like yours are either statically-linked (no shared libraries), or
have debugging information (try the strip command to remove it). An early
VR change was to remove the -static option from several system builds (I
believe it was accidentially enabled).
I get the opposite question about Linux .. my pre-built binaries are
generally larger because I link statically for the binary releases.
There are good points and bad points to both means of linking. Static
eliminates the question of library compatability. Dynamic is smaller and
can react more quickly to security fixes and updates in the libraries. I
run dynamic linked here, but I build static linked for public release so I
don't have to worry about "It won't work with this version of that
library" complaints. I leave that choice to each of the binary builders;
they know the target platforms far better than I.

This extended 221 response is a VR extension and enabled by default.
To turn it off for a single sessions, enter your password with a dash (-)
before your password.
To turn it off always, change config.h to #undef TRANSFER_COUNT and
rebuild the daemon.

Personal email is fine. I'm cc'ing the list because I typically get asked
your first question about the patches 2 to 3 times a week and you're not
the first to ask your other questions.

I'm trying to set up wu-ftpd on a solaris box (2.6)...
for some reason, it's diconnecting me right after
I put in a username. I have read all of the documentation,
and I can't find any way to get more debugging messages
so I can find out why it's diconnecting me. I'm also trying
to configure it so that any user that logs in that is in a certain
group sees their home directory as the root directory and can't
access any of the other files on the machine.
Any help would be appreciated.

The reason should be in the system log file.

what you want is 'guestgroup' in the ftpaccess file. Read the guest howto
referenced from the FAQ.
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.

What about the /etc/shells file.
It should contain every shell
which are the default shells for users.
Look at the /etc/passwd file.
For example, /etc/shells
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/false

use autogroup for members of the class and make the directory group-only

Gregory,
Thanks, this was fairly easy once I knew to what I need to look at
(autogroup).
I added this to /etc/ftpaccess:
["
class uic anonymous *.uic.edu
class an anonymous *
autogroup foo uic
"]
"class an anonymous *" was there before, but my addition had to be
before it in order to work. Once I did that I created a group foo and made
the dir 770. Thanks again.
/Simon

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to configure wu-ftpd to limit
number of connections FOR EACH USER.
For example, if 2 users 'foo' and 'bar' are allow to connect, I want a
configuration like the following:
- maximum user is 3
- maximum user 'foo' is 1, i.e. I don't want more than 1 user 'foo' in
same time
- maximum user 'bar' is 2, i.e. I don't want more than 2 users 'bar' in
same time
Best regards,
Roger

Hello all,
I'm trying to compile wu-ftpd version 2.4.2 beta 18 on Solaris 2.6.
Could anyone tell me how to modify wu-ftpd so that it
can access to large files(over 2GB) on Solaris2.6 ?
Thanks,
Masayuki Takayanagi

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Extensions to FTP Working Group of the IETF.
Title : FTP Security Considerations
Author(s) : M. Allman, S. Ostermann
Filename : draft-ietf-ftpext-sec-consider-02.txt
Pages : 7
Date : 21-Oct-98
The specification for the File Transfer Protocol contains a number
of mechanisms that can be used to compromise network security. The
FTP specification allows a client to instruct a server to transfer
files to a third machine. This third-party mechanism, known as
proxy FTP, causes a well known security problem. The FTP
specification also allows an unlimited number of attempts at
entering a user's password. This allows brute force 'password
guessing' attacks. This document provides suggestions for system
administrators and those implementing FTP servers that will decrease
the security problems associated with FTP.
Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-ietf-ftpext-sec-consider-02.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:
ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ftpext-sec-consider-02.txt
Internet-Drafts directories are located at:
Africa: ftp.is.co.za
Europe: ftp.nordu.net
ftp.nis.garr.it
Pacific Rim: munnari.oz.au
US East Coast: ftp.ietf.org
US West Coast: ftp.isi.edu
Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to:
[email protected]. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ftpext-sec-consider-02.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.

There should be very few problems. the one's I'm aware of have to do with
the logging of the file sizes and not the actual transfers. If you need
help with that, I have some patches current in testing which may help.

Hello.
I'm running WU-ftpd wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-18] on a Sun Sparcstation with
Solaris 2.5.1. I have over 800 users and most of them connect with no
problem. But a few have problems.
Specifically, I have one user using a Macintosh and running Fetch 3.0.2,
using AOL as an ISP. He can connect with no problem to my SunOS 4.1.4
machine running wu-ftp 2.4 which is on the same network as the Solaris box.
But he's had various problems connecting to the newer software. I'm
inclined to point the finger of blame at him since I have so many other
users with no problems. But it's puzzling that one machine works fine for
him and the other doesn't. Could this be something specific to 2.4.2? On
some occasions he gets an error message "unknown format" when trying to
download a file, but more frequently he's just waiting forever for a
connection which eventually times out. I believe he's tried AOL's built-in
FTP client and it has worked ok, but I guess I'm hoping someone can tell me
why this is a problem.
Any suggestions or even troubleshooting tips would be appreciated.

High,
I am running wu-ftp on Solaris. For an ftp anonymous user, the /bin/ls
command doesn't give any error but doesn't give any result either. May
be I made a mistake with the rights of the bin dev etc and usr
directories.
Thanks for your help.

This is in the FAQ
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.

Hi,
I had such problems when there was not enough files in ~ftp.
For example, ~ftp/etc/netconfig. Or files had not correct access rights.
For example, if the ld.so.1 library has right 111.
So below is my files tree. I hope it's correct.
And my wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 18 VR8 works fine.

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 44848 Sep 24 11:49 libw.so.1
Librarys can have the following rights:
ld.so.1 only read for everyone 444,
the rest libraries only execute 111
On my mind it's more correct.
Sincerely,
Alexander Velichko

Hi!
I just tried to update to VR9 because of the file globbing/wildcards.
But I could not manage wu-ftpd to match my upload-entries in ftpaccess.
Further investigation showed me, that they work up to VR5, but stop
working in VR6 (and do not work in VR8 and VR9)
My upload entry under investigation looks like:
upload /var/ftp_cug/aaa /pub/qqq yes user1 group1 0660 dirs
The /var directory is realy a link to /part1/var (do not know if
important)
I want to use wildcards to set the permission in subdirectories too,
but need VR8 for that. But VR8 does not recognize my upload
statements...
Any help appreciated. (I build under linux without any additional or
changed compile optiones)
Cheers,
Patrick

It is. If it's a symlink. The VR patches use realpath() extensively. So
if /var is a symlink you need to change to use the target.

Thanks for your tip. But it did not help. I changed the homedir in the
passwd file for that user:
user1:x:4444:333:bla:/part1/var/ftp_cug/aaa/./pub:/bin/false
and in the ftpaccess file:
upload /part1/var/ftp_cug/aaa /pub/qqq/* yes user1 group1 0660 dirs
it does not help.
Even a
upload /part1/var/ftp_cug/aaa * no
does no effect with VR9, but does with VR5 ...
Any other suggestions?
Cheers, Patrick

Brent,
Make sure you started wu-ftpd with the -a option so that you forced it to
read your configuration file. This is a change between 2.4 and the
2.4.2-beta releases which seems to catch a lot of people.

All,
The man page on ftpaccess says that logging of commands and transfers can
be individually enabled (also depending on class). Logging of the
transfers goes to the xferlog which works okay, but where do the command
log entries go? Since I can't seem to find the destination, I must assume
it's not even working even though I've enabled it. What should I be
looking for to make sure commands are logged? I know that I can run
(wu-)ftpd in debug mode and get this information from syslog, but that's
not what I want, since (correct me if I'm wrong) there isn't a specific
facility for logging just the ftp output to it's own file.
Also, assuming I can get command logging working, I'm interested in knowing
if there are any good log parsing utilities or tools available (free would
make me happy, but I'm willing to pay depending on the robustness of the
reports/output). What I'd like to be able to do is mail the log files to
an ftp admin and let him run the parsers/tools against them (tools don't
have to run on the same machine as the ftpd). So if there are platform
options, I'd like to know those too.
TIA,
-JO

Command logging goes to the system log files. You need -l on the command
line and a 'log commands ...' statement in ftpaccess both to make it work.

Use Phil's xferstats to process the ftp log (xferlog). For system logs
use grep and mail the output.

Hi Gregory!
> > upload /part1/var/ftp_cug/aaa /pub/qqq/* yes user1 group1 0660 dirs
>
> upload /part1/var/ftp_cug/aaa/pub /pub/qqq/* yes user1 group1 0600 dirs
Thanks a lot! That was the fault. I summarize the points:
1. It has to be the _real_ path (/part1/var and not /var, if /var is a
symlink). Thanks Gregory!
2. Also by Greogry: You have to include the 'home directory reltive to
the root directory' too. So if you have chroot_path/./pub you need
chroot_path/pub in the ftpaccess file.
3. Wildcards are not intuitive for me:
upload /ftp/aaa/pub /pub/qqq/* yes user1 group1 0600 dirs 0770
sets the permissions for all files in subdirctories of qqq.
Files and directories in qqq are _not_ covered by this rule.
upload /ftp/aaa/pub /pub/qqq yes user1 group1 0660 dirs 0770
this covers the files and directories in the qqq directory.
But not the files/directories in subdirectories in qqq.
So to protect everything in a directory and below, you need two entries
in ftpaccess.
I suggest the following modification for later (correlating to above
points):
1. call realpath() for the ftpaccess pathes too. This way one can
use symlinks. This is important if you want to modify the physical
locations without modifying the config files.
2. The 'home direcotry relative to the root directory' should be
independent from the ftpaccess settings. Changing the default starting
point after login has IMHO nothing to do with the access rights...
3. Clarify the doc.
Cheers,
Patrick

This is the substantive change with the VR patches. Along about VR5 or
VR6 this feature was added and the daemon made to use its own version of
realpath() instead of a system-provided one.

The man page says:
The upload keyword only applies to users who have a home directory
(the argument to the chroot()) of <root-dir>.
Once-upon-a-time the daemon did not use the '/./' marking in the home
directory, and all users were chroot'd to their home directory. This was
because, initially, the only user this was done for was 'ftp'. Over time,
the concept of 'guest' users was added and the '/./' syntax for home
directories also came along. Nobody bothered to update the man page to
make it more clear what was happening.
The VR patches changed nothing here; it is, was, and has always been, the
full home-directory field from the passwd file which was compared against
this. What changed was the passing of this through realpath(). Why?
Because it was noted in testing that the upload commands which were
thought to be working were, in fact, not acheiving the desired results.
This could be best seen if you had the following layout:
tim:*:1001:1001::/home/./tim:
tom:*:1002:1002::/home/./tom:
upload /home/tim * no
upload /home/tom /tom/* yes
Think this works in the original daemon? Yes? Think again. It never did
and it took me a long time to see why.
The ftpaccess files you were using prior to VR patches were not, in fact,
doing what you thought they were. You simply had never tested them.
When the VR patches came along, your inproperly specified upload clauses
failed competely rather than just failing in subtle ways.

It's the way filename globbing works. 'rm -fR /pub/qqq/*' wouldn't effect
/pub/qqq itself, either.

No .. if you want the same rule applied to it all, do:
upload ... /pub/qqq* ...

I'll think about this one. My personal bend it to say it should not be
done because it leads to lazy system administration. I can see what
you're trying to say, though, and will kick the idea about in my head a
while.

Ah .. but it's the only way to differentiate users. As I said, your old
ftpaccess upload clauses didn't work .. at least, they didn't do what you
thought they did.
> 3. Clarify the doc.
A tall order. Don't count on anyone getting arround to fixing the man
page anytime soon.

HI All,
I have been trying to install wu-ftpd on an Intel 686 running
Solaris 2.6 for the last two days. After I finally got a working
version I ran into a new problem. See I am trying to set up group
access so that the users of that group are limited to their home
directories. When they log in they will see their home directories as
the root directory. I got this working and I can go in and mkdir other
directories and have them show up in shell. But I can not list a
directory or cd a directory. I get the error �.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
553 Could not determine cwdir: No such file or directory.
226 Transfer complete.
I have been trying at this forever. I thought that is might be the
fact that they can�t see the bin directory and so I followed a readme on
what directories to put in there home �. And still the same thing . now
maybe that is it. But I didn�t do it right. If that is the case � can
anyone tell me how to do it the correct way. Or if it is something that
any of you have seen and know how to fix please� help me out. Here is a
little more information on the files that I have for group, passwd and
ftpaccess. Tell me if you see anything wrong..

Check the directory permissions on the parent directories. You need o+rx
on each directory from '/' to the cwd (user's home in this case).

Is there any way (setting or patch) to limit the number of guest users
depending on their login? I guess that would mean defining classes that
aren't based on IP addresses.
So if I had these users:
erik - my brother
adam - my cousin
pal - a bunch of my friends know this login
chum - a bunch of my coworkers know this login
And these groups:
family:erik,adam
friends:pal
coworkers:chum
And this in my ftpaccess file:
guestgroup family
guestgroup friends
guestgroup coworkers
I want to limit it to 5 friends AND 5 coworkers AND 5 family members.
So, if there are 5 pals on, erik could get on, then 5 chums could get
on, and then adam could get on, for a total of 12 users. Then, if 2
friends logged off, no coworkers could get on, but i would have room for
2 more friends and 3 family members.
I don't want to have any real users except me (my brother might try
messing with my computer to get me back for all those wedgies), I don't
want to open myself up to anonymous users, and anyone could be coming
from different domains.
I scoured the available info and came up with nothing. I'd like it if
this was just a simple class setting, but then I'd feel stupid.
I'm running the latest version (by the way, the [:space:] path-filter
thing doesn't work) on Debian Linux 1.3.

There is no way to do what you're looking for, right now. It's a feature
I've been looking at, but no promises unless someone else has a patch
they'd like to submit.

It needs the GNU regular expression library, which debian should provide.
If you don't have that, the prebuilt binary on my ftp site should work
fine for you.

Create a Unix group for such users
Add users to that Unix group
Add guestgroup statement to ftpaccess

Subject: BeroFTPD 1.2.0 released
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Sender:
[email protected]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN
I've just released a new stable version of BeroFTPD, 1.2.0.
It can be downloaded from the usual places:
ftp://ftp.beroftpd.unix.eu.org/pub/BeroFTPD/
ftp://ftp.croftj.net/usr/bero/BeroFTPD/
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/nir/ftp/servers/BeroFTPD/
ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/BeroFTPD/
This version fixes a major security bug; everyone using a previous version
should upgrade as soon as possible.
This is also the first stable version with all the new features from the
1.1 tree:
+ working internal ls
+ support for FEAT/OPTS/HOST
+ support for virtual passwd/shadow files
+ VR* patches for wu-ftpd applied (up to VR9)
+ speedups and bugfixes
Changes (since 1.1.15):
v1.2.0
======
+ Add virtual passwd/shadow file support for systems that don't have
fgetpwent()
+ Rewrite realpath(), eliminating a major security problem (buffer
overrun) present in all prior versions as well as all versions of
wu-ftpd
* Fix compatibility with glibc 2.1.x based systems

Hi all,
I have got wu-ftp VR9 running on a solaris 2.6 box all is well.
What I need from the daemon is to allow the upload command in ftpaccess
to work on folders other than within the ftp users tree.
upload /var/ftp * no
upload /var/ftp /incoming yes root other 0600
will allow uploads to /var/ftp/incoming which are owned by root/other
what I would like to do is for a guest user "project" in group ftponly
to have something like
upload /users/project * no
upload /users/project /incoming yes tulan staff 0600
So that project can upload files but the owner will become tulan/staff.
I read the man page for ftpaccess which states that root folder in the
command must be the same as for the user ftp in the /etc/passwd file.
Is there anyway of overriding this or hacking the code to allow it to
work?
Thanks,
Tulan

I do it here in two ways; one for a real user (me!) and one for a guest
who owns a virtual ftp-site. Here's how I do it:
virtual x.x.x.x root /home/users/owner/ftp
virtual x.x.x.x banner /home/users/owner/ftp-banner
virtual x.x.x.x hostname ftp.owner.com
virtual x.x.x.x email
[email protected]
virtual x.x.x.x allow owner
deny-uid %-99 vrnet
deny-gid %-99 vrnet
allow-uid ftp
allow-gid ftp
guestuser *
realuser ftp
realuser lundberg
anonymous-root /home/ftp
guest-root /home/users
guest-root /home/users/owner/ftp guest
hostname ftp.vr.net
email
[email protected]
upload /home/users/lundberg * no
upload /home/users/lundberg /tmp yes nodirs
upload /home/users/lundberg /home/users/lundberg yes
upload /home/users/lundberg /home/users/lundberg/* yes
upload /home/users/lundberg /home/ftp/incoming yes vrnet vrnet 440 nodirs
upload /home/users/lundberg /home/ftp/incoming/* yes vrnet vrnet 440 nodirs
upload /home/users/lundberg /home/ftp/private/*/incoming yes * * 440 nodirs
upload /home/users/lundberg /home/ftp/private/*/incoming/* yes * * 440 nodirs
upload /home/ftp * no
upload /home/ftp /incoming yes vrnet vrnet 440 nodirs
upload /home/ftp /incoming/* yes vrnet vrnet 440 nodirs

The new realpath() implementation seems to break compilation on systems
using the old Linux libc.
I've put a fix to
ftp://ftp.beroftpd.unix.eu.org/pub/BeroFTPD/fixes/BeroFTPD-1.2.0-compatibility.diff.gz
If plain 1.2.0 works for you, there's no need to apply the fix.

Hi:
The problem is that I didn't configure ftpaccess , but set the start parameter of ftpd( wu-ftpd ) as "-a" in inetd.conf.
When I changed it to "-A", it works.
I send this message just for those who is just as fool as me.

-A (the default) tells the daemon to NOT use the ftpaccess file. Running
the daemon without an ftpaccess file is _very_ dangerous especially if you
allow anonymous ftp. You would do better creating an ftpaccess file.

I've just released BeroFTPD 1.2.1.
Because of a few problems my uplink ISP is having, you might not get
through to the mail ftp site temporarily; try
ftp://ftp.croftj.net/usr/bero/BeroFTPD/
Changes:
- Compatibility fixes for systems that don't have <fcntl.h> and/or
don't define MAXSYMLINKS, get rid of a compiler warning on Linux
- Check the result of glob() calls in the internal ls. This fixes the
output of the internal ls when trying to list a directory that doesn't
exist, or you don't have permissions to access.

Hi, all,
What is the difference between LIST and NLST? I believe one corresponds
to /bin/ls usage, and the other gives an internally generated directory
listing, but I'm not sure which is which.
Also, how much effort would be involved in forcing both NLST and LIST to
return the same file information? For example, just give file names
regardless of which command was issued by the ftp client. Would this
cause any problems on the client-side?
Thanks,
Scott

The way it's supposed to be is:
LIST - this is typically what uses "external" ls - to generate an "ls
-l" listing - which of course is platform specific (you're going to get
different information from an NT system to a UN*X) - it's suppose to
generate output for "humans" - who can interpret the platform specific
information.
NLST - or "name list" is supposed to generate a bare bones listing of
just the names of the files in the directory - it's directed a a program
(typically an FTP client) that (for example) - wants to implement a
"mget" type feature.
If memory serves I think Bero-FTPD will parse generate a LIST if it's
passed a "NLST -l" - which is a case of doing what the user intended as
opposed to what she asked for.

Not much really. Simple source patch or a shell script for your
external ls that ignores the -l.
> For example, just give file names

Unlikely if you made both act like NLST is supposed to. Should be fine.
Other way around might cause grief for multiple file operations.

Check the permissions. The files need to be world-readable and the
~ftp/etc directory needs to be world-executable. Both must actually exist
and cannot be symlinks to the real files.
The ~ftp/etc/passwd and ~ftp/etc/group files need to include the IDs you
want mapped to usernames. They do not need, and should not include, any
other information.
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.

as you describe, setup 'ftpaccess' file can done it.
but if I want every one of my user can't change directory upper than their
home diectory, I need to copy 'bin/ls', 'lib, 'etc' files to each user's diectory?
is there other way that I don't need to setup bin, lib, and etc files to users'
home and can limit them can't change directory upper than their home?

If they're on the same filesystem, you can hard-link the files so you're
only actually paying for one copy. Otherwise, export the directories with
a loopback mount and mount them read-only into each user's area.
The easiest solution is to put all users in a single directory and chroot
them to that common point:
/home
/home/bin
/home/etc
/home/ftp
/home/ftp/bin
/home/ftp/etc
/home/user01
/home/user02
..
Use permissions to keep the users out of each other's areas. I have an
example site laid out in
ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd
One other way is to give up the ability to use on-the-fly tar, compress,
etc., and use the BeroFTPD derivitive of wu-ftpd. BeroFTPD has a built-in
'ls'. You'll still need copies of the support stuff (passwd, group, etc)
but avoid copying the external executables.

Subject: How to get 'dir' to work with guest access
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN
I have installed wu-ftpd.2.4.2.beta18 and set up the
ftpaccess controli, we have AIX 4.2.
I added a group called guests, put a line in ftpaccess referring
to this group, modified the users login to point to /some/dir/username/./
in /etc/passwd.
I have deactivated the users login (via AIX's smitty program) so they
cannot telnet or rlogin.
Every thing works like I would expect, the user can't cd out of the
directory, so chroot seems to work, except for
one small item.
After I ftp to the computer and login as the guest user, the command
ls
works just fine.
However, if I enter
dir
it does not produce any directory listing.
Is this the way it is supposed to work?
Without a long listing it is difficult for users to see the differenc
between directories and files.
By the way, there are some inaccuracies in the documentation for setting
up wu-ftpd.2.4.2.beta18
1. One is not directed in the docs to modify the src/pathnames.h file
to what you want. The default is less than desireable.
2. For guest accounts the directions say to put something like
ftponly, or /bin/false as in the /etc/shells file (this doesn't
work under AIX unless I am missing something) Just lock out telnet
using smitty. Also, in some of the docs (external to the distn) it
seems to imply that one needs /bin and /etc in the directories of the
guest accounts, hoever that did not seem to be the case.
3. It was difficult for me to understand the build command, also that once
a Makefile is created it is not overwritten.
4. Tied into 3. above, the user shold be directed to modify the Makefile
where it will install the programs and man pages.
5. The documentation warns that you need to be careful or the configuration
files will be over written, (it didn't mention what configuration files
one should look for). However, it didn't install any of the configuration
files so that didn't seem to be a problem.
6. We were upgrading an older version of wu-ftpd (2.4) (installed by someone
who was no longer here). It was not obvious that the locations of the
configuration files were compiled into the program. I didn't realize this
until I wasn't getting things to work properly.
The writeup in the OReilly book
Managing Internet Info Services
clarified much.

This is covered in the FAQ.

Typos are so easy to make and wording is so difficult to make clear. Take,
for instance, your mis-use of the word 'some' where what is obviously the
correct term is 'countless'. If you look at the 2.4 package, you'll see
most of the documentation is virtually unchanged.

I compiled BeroFTPD on a SunOS 4.1.3 box and it crashes (signal 11) doing
things like 'ls'. I had a similar problem with wu-ftpd, that seemed to get
better when I specified -A and -d. Any ideas?
(I compiled gcc 2.5.8 (?) for this job, and there may be a problem there,
too. But I didn't use gcc for the wu-ftpd that I tried a good while back.)
Thanks!

Subject: Guest accounts don't 'chroot'
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN
Hi.
I'm encountering a problem with the newest 'wu-ftpd'. Guest accounts
login OK, but don't do 'chroot'. The 'ftp/anonymous' account does.
I'm using the newest 'wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18' that I just downloaded
from '
ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/' I built it on a
Digital UNIX 4.0B system, using 'build dec' and 'build install'.
An earlier version of 'wu-ftpd' 2.4.2 that I build on Solaris 2.5
worked fine.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance,
David Kinney

your config looks fine, so let's check a few silly things:
- make sure inetd is running the corect executable for the daemon
- kill -HUP inetd if you changed anything in /etc/inetd.conf
- look at the command line in inetd.conf; are there more than 4 items
after the program name? Some Unix flavors (DEC, ISTR is one) have a
limit on the number of parameters which can be there. Some inted
implementations need the program name to appear twice, too.
- look in the system logs, any messages which might shed light?

I just did an "ftpwho" under wu-ftpd 2.4.2 and I'm disturbed that one of
the entries (of 5 total) showed "root" being connected, but idle. The IP
addresses listed is not an internal one. (I'm investigating just where the
IP address is from. If it's from an expected site or not.) I absolutely
without a doubt have root in the "ftpusers" file and in fact I confirmed
that I can't connect to this machine via ftp as root, getting the expected
"user root access denied" when I give the correct root password.
So what gives? Should I trust the output of ftpwho? I'm a little worried here.

What is wrong? Thanks.

test is a subdirectory - either use a second upload line for
/incoming/test, or use a construction like
upload /usr/people/ftpwu /incoming/* yes ftpmap ftpgroup 0775 dirs
Not a good idea to do any of this, by the way - if everyone can read the
uploaded files, you'll soon have a bunch of "warez" in there.

Greetings All,
I'm running Digital Unix V4.0d with C2-security enabled.
I'm running WU-FTP V2.4.
I have anonymous ftp setup and working 100% fine - anonymous has
read-only access. I need to allow one particular user to ftp to
this site using his own username (not anonymous) and place files in
the anonymous directory for later pickup. I'm not sure what
additions are needed in my ftpaccess file and would appreciate some
help.
Thanx,
Larry Clegg

You need to upgrade to 2.4.2 (beta 18). It fixes a lot of security
problems and bugs.

Read the ftpaccess manpage on guestgroup and check the FAQ
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.

Hi all,
I'm new to this list and kinda new to unix, I'm using linux RH5.0.
I'm experiencing some problems running wu-ftpd. I installed it out of the
box from Red Hat and it was working fine. Then I messed with some conf files
and also did a ftpshut.
After this when I try to connect I get the following
Connected to "myserver"
500 "myserver" FTP server shut down -- please try again later
I uninstalled and reinstalled wu-ftpd and anonftp but only with the same
results. The conf files look alright, just the default configuration.
I read something about manually removing the ftpshut file after you do a
ftpshut, but I can't find any other ftpshut files besides the executable.
Imust be overlooking something rather simple,
Please give me a hand,
Thanks,
[email protected]

Are you using an ftpaccess file ? The location of the "ftpshut" file is
usually specified in the ftpaccess file, via the following line :-
shutdown /path/to/shutfile
You'll need to delete /path/to/shutfile in order to get the server working
again...
I hope this helps !
Cheers, Bob

You need to unshut it ;)
Remove /etc/shutmsg and try again.

Be sure to read all the documentation, including the man pages. An
incorrectly configured FTP server can be a serious security risk!

Yeah, the wu-ftpd creates the file /etc/shutmsg when it is
shut down.
So long as the file exists, wu-ftpd won't come back up.
Remove the file, the restart inetd. It should come back
online.

Hi all,
I'm new to this list and kinda new to unix, I'm using linux
RH5.0.
I'm experiencing some problems running wu-ftpd. I installed
it out of
the
box from Red Hat and it was working fine. Then I messed with
some conf
files
and also did a ftpshut.
After this when I try to connect I get the following
Connected to "myserver"
500 "myserver" FTP server shut down -- please try again
later
I uninstalled and reinstalled wu-ftpd and anonftp but only
with the same
results. The conf files look alright, just the default
configuration.
I read something about manually removing the ftpshut file
after you do a
ftpshut, but I can't find any other ftpshut files besides
the
executable.
Imust be overlooking something rather simple,
Please give me a hand,
Thanks,

Ok, I'm running beta 18 with the latest VR patch on a linux box.
I'm trying to let a user who has been guestgrouped upload. I want
anything uploaded to be owned by root and have a restrictive mode. I
tried following all the directions I could find, but it doesn't work.
The uploaded stuff is usually owned by the user that uploaded it and has
a lenient mode. Here's what I have:
[/ftp/pub/]
drwxr-x--- 19 root family 1024 Oct 24 03:42 photoalbum
drwxrwx-w- 3 root family 3072 Oct 31 00:37 uploads
[passwd file]
erik:x:1002:1002:Erik,,,:/ftp/./pub:/bin/lshells/nologin
[group file]
family:x:101:erik,adam,mom,dad
[ftpaccess]
guestgroup family *
class all guest,real
limit all 10 Any /ftp/etc/toomany.msg
# all the following default to "yes" for everybody
rename no guest,anonymous # rename permission?
delete no guest,anonymous # delete permission?
overwrite no guest,anonymous # overwrite permission?
chmod no guest,anonymous # chmod permission?
umask no guest,anonymous # umask permission?
# path-filter

# ab/rel HomeDir ArchiveDir Allow? Owner Group Mode Dirs?
DirMode
upload absolute /ftp/pub /pub/uploads/* yes root root 770 dirs
777
I'm pretty sure this is how it's supposed to work. But, when I do this,
they can upload into uploads/ and in subdirectories of it, but all the
permissions are wrong. Also, and I don't know if this is related, when
I have ftp'ed in and I check the directory listing, it usually shows the
uid, instead of the name; but all the users are in /ftp/etc/passwd. I
have also tried the following with varying degrees of unsuccess:
upload absolute /ftp/pub /pub/uploads/ yes root root 770 dirs
777
upload absolute /ftp/pub /pub/uploads yes root root 770 dirs
777
upload absolute /ftp/pub /pub/uploads* yes root root 770 dirs
777
upload absolute /ftp/pub /pub/uploads/* yes * * 770 dirs
777
upload absolute * * yes * * 770 dirs
and so on...
Thanks,
jesse

I have created the guest account and it can upload files
in upload dir but cannot creat subdirectory .
So if I wnat to upload a directory contains subdirectries and files,
it can only transfer files but not subdirs.
What should I do?
Thanks for your answer.

Looking at the rest of the stuff, do a chmod o-w on 'uploads' .. just
tightening security here.

'absolute' is the default, you can leave it off if you want.
Personally, I don't like 'root' owning anything ftp users can write to.
I'd do the following, just to tighten up security:
- add 'jesse' to the 'family' group
I'm assuming you have an account on your machine.
- chown -R jesse.jesse /ftp
- chown -R root.root /ftp/bin /ftp/etc
- chown -R jesse.family /ftp/pub/photoalbum /ftp/pub/uploads
- chmod o+t /ftp
Since you own the directory, root doesn't want you messing with the
important files for the ftp server.
- chmod g+s `find /ftp/pub/photoalbum -type d`
- chmod g+s `find /ftp/pub/uploads -type d`
So if you play in the directories, the group-ownership of stuff you
create gets set so the rest of your family can see what you've done.
- chmod -R o= /ftp/pub/uploads
- chmod a-x `find /ftp/pub/uploads -not -type d'
Clean up the mistakes in permissions already there.
- upload specifies user 'jesse' and group 'family'
You REALLY REALLY REALLY do not want uploaded files or directories owned
by root!
- upload sets permissions to 660 for files and 770 for directories
Family cannot upload files which can be run on your ftp server and
files and directories are only available to family members. Dunno if
there are any other users on your machine, but just to be safe don't
give them access to this stuff.
> I'm pretty sure this is how it's supposed to work. But, when I do this,

> permissions are wrong.
Personally, for your use, I'd use '*' for the upload owner and 'family'
for the upload group. That way the family members can see who's to blame
for the new file in the FTP site.
This all should work as you see it, let me know if not after you've
cleaned up the security model, and I'll take a deeper look.

Then the setup for /ftp/etc/passwd and /ftp/etc/group is wrong. Check my
example site at
ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/examples for the suggested
(minimum) contents. I run Linux and use statically-linked binaries so the
example site is all I need (other flavors of Unix may need additional
files, special devices and directories, but Linux does not).

'nodirs' on the upload clause, check the man page.

Wow, that was really helpful. It's a shame you can't get all that stuff
in a man page so you don't have to keep answering questions. The
tightening security suggestions are good; I was just trying to make sure
that wasn't holding me back when it wasn't working, so that's why I had
stuff world writable.
What exactly does chmoding something to "s" do? I guess that makes
anything created in that directory have the same permissions, but I'm
not sure. Also, how can I feed chmod a bunch of directories with spaces
in them? chmod g+s `find /ftp/pub/photoalbum -type d` chokes hard-core
on spaces.
If I were to open my computer up a bit more, and allow anonymous access,
how would I prevent multiple simultaneous connections? Also, is NOOP
ignored by default with beta-18 VR9? If not, how can I manually boot
people if I see them hanging around too long?
Can I download from you a statically linked ls? I really don't know how
to do that, and I haven't seen much for directions anywhere.
Thanks,
jesse

For a directory, u+s says any new files created get the user-owner of the

the user/group owning the file (this is dangerous, so don't do it unless
you're sure it's the right thing to do).
