Is there any way in wu-ftpd to authenticate a user over an alternative
authentication scheme... like radius. We have a situation where a
customer needs to run a single authentication database and still allow
there users ftp access to upload there personal web pages. Any ideas?

Subject: [VR17] WU-FTPD-2.4.2-VR17 Released
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

WU-FTPD-2.4.2-VR17 is now available.

The VR updates for WU-FTPD include additional features requested over the
years by the user community and include a number of bug fixes for both the
base 2.4.2 release and earlier VR updates. Major changes in this update
include:

All platforms
-------------

The ENTIRE 'make install' scheme has been revamped. I did this as a
result of taking one of the Good Ideas (tm) from Redhat's RPM (which
several others have emailed me about as well) and applying it to all
target platforms.

This is the area I expect to have the most trouble. Please be sure to at
least read over the new makefile for your targets.

As I gave warning about on the open mailing list, I've moved the FIXES*
files into a sub-directory under doc. Be sure to remember to
mkdir doc/FIXES
mv FIXES* doc/FIXES
on your old source kits if you'll be attempting to diff for changes, or
want to try hand-applying the VR17 patches.

Not noted elsewhere: Oops! When I rolled VR16 it was against Stan's 2.4.2
tarball. That means all the ownerships and permissions fell back to his
mess. VR17's tarball has them corrected.

Solaris
-------

Solaris now supports QUOTA.

Linux
-----

Linux now supports PAM. I've tested this on RH4 and RH5 servers. Note
that PAM prevents diagnostic messages in the syslog about bad user shells
and appearance in /etc/ftpusers .. all you see is a login failure message.

Linux autodetects PAM and disables all other authentication methods if
found. If you have PAM installed but don't want to build for it, add
NOPAM=1 to the build command line.

Linux also now autodetects OPIE.

This update is available as both patches and pre-patched tarballs at:

ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/

A current mirrors listing is available at:

fpt://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/MIRRORS

MD5 Package
--- -------
27a15b3f3c18121dee99b891f109270c wu-ftpd-2.4.2-vr17.tar.Z
8978595cb355b9dd5ecc2ccd01d01b45 wu-ftpd-2.4.2-vr17.tar.gz

Most users only need the tarball appropriate for their system (gz or Z).

d0a26079cfdc42e3e981c2bef428f9f4 wu-ftpd-2.4.2.tar.Z
7d035f8b3fb4bee116e5f995ce5c5beb wu-ftpd-2.4.2-vr16.patch
425a58e58b3dc7af6574fbef756e9900 wu-ftpd-2.4.2-vr17.patch

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. The first set for WU-FTPD-2.4.2 is VR16; VR3 through VR15
were for BETA-18 only. A patch set covering the changes from BETA-18-VR15
to VR16 is available in the attic directory.

Pre-compiled binaries for VR17 are available. Check the binaries directory
to see if a pre-compiled version is available for your platform.

This is a list of fixes to 2.4.2 with VR16 applied from [email protected]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The primary goal for VR17 was to merge the changes Redhat makes in their
RPM release into the mainstream daemon. The first section is notes from
the merge. For specific changes, skip to the second section.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I used a fresh copy of Redhat's original wu-ftpd-2.4.2b18-2.1.src.rpm

Changes made
Add RPM_OPT_FLAGS, default -O3, to Linux Makefiles
* Added DESTDIR for 'make install' Makefile
* Added 'mkdir -p' to ensure destination directories exist
* Added OWNERUID and OWNERGID for ownership, default bin/bin (I allowed
separate UID/GID for each file area)
Added PAM support for Linux, autodetected
* bugfix: initialize c_time in ftpshut.c
* bugfix: removed mv's to save old installed binaries
* bugfix: use ps www and sed off trailing blanks for wide displays

Changes not made
SITE EXEC max lines, use site-exec-max-lines instead
_PATH_EXECPATH to /usr/bin/ftp-exec; lame
/lib/libc.a to /usr/lib/libc.a; /lib/libc.a works fine, LIBC does not
appear to be used anyway
install permissions; Redhat's are too loose
CERT security patch for Feb99 alert; superceeded by VR updates
RHS config localizations

When creating a SRPM, check for changes needed for RPM_OPT_FLAGS and
other RHS localizations. All past RPM changes should now be merged or
otherwise supported.

* Changes made marked with an asterisk (*) effect all target platforms.

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

SPECIFIC CHANGES

Scott Parmenter <[email protected]> reports problems with web clients
understanding the restricted-uid effects. Instead of just remapping / to ~
this patch inserts ~ before all directory names starting with /.

Scott Parmenter <[email protected]> noted while code-reading that a
call to restrict_check(".") was omitted from the LIST command when there is
no directory given. This is probably unnecessary, but should be there for
consistency.

Added vers.c and edit to 'make cleandir' in the src directory. These files
are automatically created during the build process.

Updated upload.configuration.HOWTO to describe more of the configuration
having to do with class= rules and overwrite, delete and rename clauses.

Redhat's SRPM includes a patch to handle wide process listings in the
ftpcount/ftpwho commands. Their hack tried to pipe to the output through
sed, which won't work. Do the same thing by-hand and it'll work for all
platforms as well.

Redhat's SRPM includes a patch to fix an uninitialized variable in ftpshut
which could effect the way the command works with default values.

Redhat's SRPM includes a patch to add PAM support. Redhat's patch forced
PAM for Linux, I've set it up so the makefile auto-detects that your system
has PAM installed.

Ian Willis <[email protected]> reports dead code for removal.

Scott Parmenter <[email protected]> reports dead code for removal.

'make install' now accepts DESTDIR to install into a directory structure
other than the root file system. A number of other optional parameters are
available to override the default ownership of the installed files.
Missing directories are automatically created. File permisssions were
reduced to the minimum necessary.

Albert Lunde <[email protected]> provided corrections for building on
HP/UX.

Scott Parmenter <[email protected]> noted that file locking in
ftpcount/ftpwho was not completed. In addition to finishing the work, he
provided some additional fixes needed for Trusted Solaris.

Alan Neiman <[email protected]> provided QUOTA support for Solaris.

Jacques Distler <[email protected]> points out that under some
conditions _PATH_WTMP is not being set in pathnames.h

Roger Hanke <[email protected]> points out that 'log security' covers all
but a few messages about filesystem operations. Make it cover the few it
didn't already cover.

Nikos Mouat <[email protected]> requested the FIXES-* files be moved from
the main directory. Good point, they are starting to cutter things up.
I've moved them to the directory doc/FIXES .. this will cause problems for
people running diff to see what's changed but they'll have to live with it.

Added doc/misc directory where I'll start putting interesting tidbits which
may help people get their servers going.

Scott Parmenter <[email protected]> wrote an appnote about a problem
he had with Trusted Solaris. Added his email to doc/misc.

Alain ENOUT <[email protected]> provided information about OPIE, added to
doc/misc .. see src/makefiles/Makefile.lnx for a way to automatically have
the daemon use OPIE. Send me your Makefile if you do something similar for
your system.

Rene Hexel <[email protected]> points out that the labels unix and
__unix__ are depricated on BSD, effecting the logic for the reponse to the
SYST command.

Ayamura Kikuchi <[email protected]> says not all SunOS 4.1 boxes actually
have a getcwd() function.

Added a note from Chad Price <[email protected]> in src/logwtmp.c
about the brokenness of Solaris' last command.

Ayamura Kikuchi <[email protected]> pointed out I'd not documented the
daemonaddress ftpaccess clause. That was intentional on my part but I've
added a little documentation about it to the manpage anyway.

Kazuyoshi Komine <[email protected]> reported that MNTMAXSTR was
possibly undefined on Digital Unix 4.0 even when not using QUOTA_DEVICE.

Jacques Distler <[email protected]> reports that the default
shell on NextStep want -d instead of -e. Changed to test instead of []
since that's more portable; will probably do the same to other systems in
a future release.

Tim Rosmus <[email protected]> provided fixes to allow the daemon to
compile on Ultrix.

Steve Costaras <[email protected]> discovered the GNU EGCS is broken. A
quick check and we can avoid the brokenness.

Leif Ericksen <[email protected]> discovered the Solaris patch for QUOTA
support was wrong. This should fix it.

Chris Myers <[email protected]> had problems with undefined behavior in
ftpcmd.y on Digitial Unix 4.0e. Quick cleanup fixes it.

Ian Willis <[email protected]> submitted a patch which should fix numerous
complaints involving virtual_len filed by beta testers.

until modified by the group, shall be to:

- serve as a central clearinghouse for all information concerning WU-FTPD
and related software and documentation;

- foster future development of the WU-FTPD software in particular, and the
FTP protocol in general;

- elminate dependence upon a single person for corrections and
enhancements to the software and its documentation;

- stop subdivision of the user base by merging the various efforts into a
single effort.

Recent discussions, both private and public, has convinced me the time has
come for a change in management of the Washington University FTP Daemon,
and its many derivatives variously known as wu-archive, wu-ftpd, wu-ftpd-vr
and BeroFTPD.

Bernhard, I and several others have, for some time now, been working toward
this goal. The most visible results of our work have, to date, been the
stream of updates Bernhard and I have produced. Less visible has been our
work on the formation of an open development group to manage future
development of the software.

Last year I registered the domain names 'wu-ftpd.org' and 'wuftpd.org' and
Kent Landfield began work on servers to host the group. In the interim,
Kent was pulled away by other tasks. As a result, I took on implementation
of the servers. To be honest, my work load has not allowed me to have all
the services in place I have planned. Enough services are ready, however,
that the group may begin work while the remaining tasks are completed.

The following Internet services are currently online or planned for the
near future:

- ANONCVS.WU-FTPD.ORG (not implemented)

- CVS.WU-FTPD.ORG (90% complete)

- FTP.WU-FTPD.ORG (80% complete)

- WWW.WU-FTPD.ORG (not implemented)

- MAIL.WU-FTPD.ORG (90% complete)

These servers are currently provided by the VRnet Company as a public
service to the Internet community. As such, I reserve final authority as
to which services are provided, their configuration and maintenance, and
all security issues.

Due to security measures on the current servers, there are five levels of
membership in the WU-FTPD Development Group. Once the group is up and
running, these may change. In decreasing security privilege these are:

Host Admins
-----------
These are the persons responsible for the actual hardware and software
providing the services. Having SSH-root access these users have complete
authority and access to all facets of the servers. At his time, this
group consists soles of VRnet staff members and is unlikely to change so
long as the servers are hosted at VRnet.

The following entities are host administrators:

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

Group Admins
------------
These are the persons responsible for the creation and deletion of users
on the group's servers. These users have SSH-root privileges on the
servers they administer; their privileges are resticted to those functions
necessary to their jobs. At this time, the only server allowing Group
Administration is CVS.WU-FTPD.ORG; other servers will be added to this
list as they are completed.

The following persons have Group Administrative rights on CVS.WU-FTPD.ORG:

Bernhard Rosenkraenzer
Gregory A Lundberg

Other administrators may be appointed by the group. The Host Admins may
veto an appointment on the grounds of past security problems involving the
appointee, but otherwise must honor the group's decision and grant
administrative access in a timely fashion.

Full Members
------------
These are members having full access to the servers. At this point, this
primarily mens they have commit rights on CVS.WU-FTPD.ORG; other full-
member privileges will be added as the servers are completed. These
privileges are granted by the creation of an account for the member on the
servers by the group administrators.

During the initial formation period, Bernhard Rosenkraenzer and Gregory A
Lundberg are issuing invitations to people who, for various reasons, they
feel should be members of the WU-FTPD Development Group. Once a
sufficient number have joined, the group is expected to adopt its own
procedures concerning membership and the rights and privileges of members.

The order above simply alphabetical. We have attempted to list those
who we felt have contributed significantly to the daemon over the past
and are sure we missed a number of people we intended to include. For
that we beg your undertanding and humbly appologize.

Members
-------
These are members who, for whatever reason, have chosen not to accept
accounts or privileges on the various servers; or have had those
privileges revoked. The distinction here is privilege on the servers; the
group will decide what other rights members may have. The idea is that a
member of the group may choose to have email privileges, yet not accept
cvs commit privileges.

Non-Members
-----------
Non-members have no special privileges on the group's servers. Anonymous
access to some of the servers is permitted non-members. The group will
determine the anonymous access rules for mailing lists and the servers.

Install Linux. Install LinuxPAM. Download VR17, install it. Install a
PAM module for your favorite auth method. Ta Da!

No Linux? No way unless you wanna be a code warrior.

There is a way if you're running FreeBSD or something very similar -
Install FreeBSD >= 3.1, Download BeroFTPD 1.3.4, install it.

Subject: OPIE in VR17.. (Success again after 2 fixes..)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

Hi there...

Sorry to rant again..
OPIE is still broken VR17 ...

This is using VR17 straight from the ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/
This is being compiled on a RedHat 5.2.

I am using the following to build.

/build lnx NOPAM=1

Yes ,I dont want PAM . I want OPIE.

The build picks up the -DOPIE just fine after moving
opie.h to /usr/local/opie/opie.h
libopie.a to /usr/local/opie/libopie/libopie.a

Which is fine...Except in config.h you still have

#undef OPIE

Took me an hour to figure that one out.The one in config.h
cancels out the commandline -DOPIE ...
After removing the line (defining OPIE in there gives you warning
messages), everything looks good. But wait...

The ftpd cores on signal 11, due to same problem I reported a few
weeks ago. The fix for that is below as well.

Fixes are ....
1. Delete the #undef OPIE from config.h in the top level.
2. Make the area around (!opieverify) looks like this :

#else /* OPIE */
if(!opieverify(&opiestate, passwd))
{
rval = 0;
xpasswd = crypt(passwd, pw->pw_passwd);
}
else
xpasswd = crypt(passwd, pw->pw_passwd);
#endif /* OPIE */

This works for me. I am sending this out
just in case anyone else's uses OPIE with wuftpd.

Thanks,
David

Subject: path-filter in ftpaccess

Content-Type: text/plain
X-Priority: 3
X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.0.1458.49)
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

I have a question about using the path-filter command in ftpaccess.

Here is my path-filter command in ftpaccess:
path-filter anonymous,guest /etc/pathfilter.msg ^[-A-Za-z0-9\._]*$ ^\.
^-

According to the man page, if the filename is invalid, it will display
the message in /etc/pathfilter.msg to the user. This didn't work for
me.
When I try to upload a file with a space, it will give me the following
message:
553 joe test.zip: Permission denied. (Filename (accept))

If I upload a file with a - or . in the beginning, it will give me:
553 -joe.zip: Permission denied. (Filename (deny))

Although this does exactly what I want, it didn't give enough
information to the user of why the permission is denied.

What permission or limitation the file pathfilter.msg need to have? I
assume this is just a text file.

Any helps will be appreciated.

Yep. If PAM is there, that's all you'll get. NOPAM=1 is required to
suppress it. Pragmatic choice: assume most Redhat people want a fast
build to be just (or very much) like Redhat would give them.

There's command-line ways to override these defaults. I took the defaults
from a default 'make install' of OPIE.

Oh DUH.

Doing it right away.

The following looks to be cleaner.

#else /* OPIE */
if(!opieverify(&opiestate, passwd))
rval = 0;
xpasswd = crypt(passwd, pw->pw_passwd);
#endif /* OPIE */

The question is "Why signal 11?" The answer is xpasswd is a char* which
will be referenced later. Would it not be more correct to say "If OPIE's
opieverify() says NO then you're not getting in."? ...

#ifdef ULTRIX_AUTH
if ((numfails = ultrix_check_pass(passwd, xpasswd)) >= 0) {
#else
/* The strcmp does not catch null passwords! */
if (pw !=NULL && *pw->pw_passwd != '\0'
#ifdef HAS_PW_EXPIRE
&& (pw->pw_expire && time(NULL) < pw->pw_expire)
#endif
ifndef OPIE
&& strcmp(xpasswd, pw->pw_passwd) == 0
#endif
#endif
) {
rval = 0;

Someone with OPIE want to tell me which way is better?

You need a copy of /etc/pathfilter.msg in *EVERY* chroot'd area. For
instance, here, I'd need it in:

/home/ftp/etc/pathfilter.msg
/home/users/etc/pathfilter.msg
/home/users/<siteowner>/ftp/etc/pathfilter.msg

This is the same problem as the shutdown message I referred to a while
ago. Same answer: maybe someday someone will fix it so you only need on
copy.

Im not sure of the signal 11, but somewhere down farther it was still
checking on the xpassword and it was core dumping. I didnt look

(which yours is cleaner..)

I dont know if anyone else is running OPIE ( probably not since
most people dont care). But thanks for looking into it.
I have VR17 running with OPIE and thats all that matters..

Thanks,

This is an FRF.

Unless Bernhard has added something I've not heard about, there is no way
to limit connections per-user or per-IP-address in a general way.

If it's a specific host or network block, you can define a class for those
uses and limit the class.

I have noticed that there are a few mirror-like packages out there for
Windows. I tried a few for grins. What I found was that some of them
offer a 'download in parallel' option which has no parallel-connection
limit. When I told it to download from my ftp site, it tried to open
several hundred sessions at once and declared the site dead when it stared
failing due to user limits.

I have noticed also that most anonymous users like to use Netscape or IE.
There's a configurable limit for parallel connections from those browsers.
Typically the limit is a small number (5 or 6).

Web browsers, however, tend to do a dumb thing. They hold the last
session open until the user closes the window or moves off to another
site. If a user opens a few windows, you'll have several open sessions.

I've done some experimentation and found that a short timeout helps
immensely. The default of two hours is **WAY** too long. I played with
the timeouts and settled on 5 minutes. That's long enough to scan a
document and start another download for command-line people. And it's
short enough to push out the web browsers.

So my recommendation:

Run the server with -t 300 -T 300 on the command line. This sets a
five-minute default idle timeout, and a five-minute limit on how high a
user can set the idle timeout.

You'll still have a few users in parallel, but the number will probably be
quite reduced.

You should set the permissions to safe values so even though the users can
see the directories exist, they cannot see inside them.

You should also set upload and noretrieve clauses in the ftpaccess file to
prevent modification of viewing of the files.

In VR17, for real and guest users (but *NOT* for anonymous users) there is
a new feature 'restricted-uid' which you can use to keep a user inside
their home directory. This should be used along with making the user a
guest.

> 2: how can i set a motd (message of the day, banner) with the wuftpd.

Banners are configured using the message claus in ftpaccess. For
instance:

message .welcome login
message .message cwd=*
readme README* cwd=*

Displays the file '.welcome' from the current directory on initial log in.

Displays the file '.message' the first time a user changes into a
directory.

And suggests the user view and file whose name starts with 'README' the
first time the user changes into a directory.

On older versions 'changes into a directory' meant as a result of a user
command. With the VR versions, is also means when the daemon changes into
the initial directory during log in.

The daemon does not create the message files. So if you want a motd which
changes daily, you will need to write a script to generate it.

Need a thought or direction on this one. Using the Virtual FTP setup
under BeroFTPD (actually, using the same ftpaccess file as I did for the
newvirt code from time gone by.) Guest accounts using one of these
virtual FTP servers gets the following when uploading (doing a PUT) on a
file:

ftp> put setvif.pl
local: setvif.pl remote: setvif.pl
200 PORT command successful.
550 Could not determine cwdir: Result too large.

Any real account works fine as does any other command by a guest user.
The mailing list archives have a few other people with the same error, but
I never found a response/answer. This is a SunOS 4.1.4 machine. By going
back to the newvirt code (by just changing the line in /etc/inetd.conf),
everything works. Any thoughts or pointers are appreciated.

The change I see here is from *.pcc.edu to *.*.pcc.edu

What that means is match host.dept.pcc.edu, but don't match host.pcc.edu
(too few periods in the name). You probably want to set this back the way
it was.

My comments you quoted were about IP-number wildcards. If you'd have said
you changes 192.220.* to 192.220.*.* then you'd have made the change I was
discussing.

This usually means exactly what it says, there is no user named 'ftp' in
the system /etc/passwd file. Anonymous login won't work without it.

On some systems, this can mean there's an error accessing the system
/etc/passwd file such as needing to do some hand-waving to tell the system
that _this_ binary is authorized to read the file.

Since you didn't have '-a', either you were running an ancient version of
the daemon and were vulnerable to a number of security problems or you
were not using /etc/ftpaccess at all, which would explain why this problem
suddenly seemed to crop up.

I've never seen that the '-d' option does anything even remotely usefull.

The whitespace removal in '-u 022' points to having upgraded from a very
old version of the daemon.

I'd suggest trying the precompiled VR17 binary for HP/UX 10.20 (there are
two, get the right one .. trusted or non-trusted .. for your system). If
you're building from source, be sure to carefully read through config.h
and src/config/config.hpx to be sure you have selected the options needed
for your platform.

VR17 has been tested and is known to work properly on HP/UX 10.20; so it's
probably a local error either in the compile or configuration.

Makes sense. ISTR something about this problem with SunOS. You patch
looks good and I'll roll it into VR11 for release on the 1st. In about 4
days I'll freeze my work on VR11 and roll a test/prebuild tarball and put
it in my prerelease area.

I ran into this problem again, on SunOS, debugging VR16 in March. At that
time I was able to log into a SunOS 4.1 box and prove, to my own
satifaction, that the program is Sun's runtime is buggy.

First, make sure you're current on *ALL* patches from Sun.

If OS patches for fix this: I don't know how to control this on BeroFTPD,
but what you need to do is convince the source code build system that you
do NOT have getcwd() and it will need to use getwd() instead. autoconf
will probably detect that getcwd() is there but has no way of knowing that
the operating system's runtime is buggy so be prepared to hack after you
run configure.

Greg,

Thanks for the info - I have this fixed now. I cheated a bit, but
hey, it works. To summarize, in order to get BeroFTPD to be happy under
SunOS 4.1.4 and guest 'puts' I did (assuming you are getting the error -
550 Could not determine cwdir: Result too large.):

1. Ran ./configure with all the options I needed.
2. Edited config.cache and change the getcwd line to 'no'
3. Reran ./configure so it would rebuild src/config.h to undef
HAVE_GETCWD and anything else necessary.
4. Ran make

I had tried undef'ing HAVE_GETCWD in src/config.h at first (as I see the
code has ifdef statements concerning the availability of getwcd) but that
didn't seem to take. So I did my 4 steps from above and all is good.
Thanks again.

I've scoured the WU-FTPD docs, man pages, and FAQs but haven't been able to
find a way to do this. I have user who needs to be able to upload to my
anonymous dir. I don't want anyone else to be able to upload to it just
him. At the same time I don't want to make it his home dir. I noticed
that in this case the FAQ mentioned something about loopback mounts. I'm
using RedHat 5.1 and everything I can find about loopbacks says that they
only work with files and not dirs. I come from an NT background where this
was very easy to do. Any ideas?

Thanks,George

Use a loopback mount. Read the manpage 'man 8 losetup'. You may need to
rebuild your kernel to add support for it.

Yes, from the point of view of the main filesystem, the loopback mount is
a file. Inside the file it's a filesystem, but you can only see that once
it's mounted.

A word of caution: the loopback mount occurs after the fsck during
startup. That means you'll need to be sure to explicitly run fsck on the
filesystem when you mount it.

Nope.

2.4.2-VR{16,17} includes the few changes from beta-18 to final.

Does he need to upload directly into the anonymous directory at the top
level, or can you create a subdirectory underneath it ? If you can use a
subdirectory, then you might be able to avoid the need for loopback mounts
as follows...

You could create a subdirectory which can only be written to by someone who
is in a special group. People who log in anonymously are not in this group
by default, so they would be able to see the directory, but not write to it.
You can give your favoured user a password to let them change their group to
the one which is able to write to the subdirectory. So whenever they wanted
to upload, they could log in as anonymous, change to the new group, cd to
their upload directory and do the necessary. See the documentation on the
ftpaccess "private" directive and site group / site gpass commands for more
details.

However, a loopback mount may suit your purposes better - it has the advantage
that the user can log in with his normal id and password and access the upload
directory under his home directory without any special effort on his part.

Cheers, Bob

It seems to be true on my alphas but not on my solaris boxen:

The normal build script links with symbols in src and strips when it
copies to bin .. unless that step was removed for Solaris.

.. to the ftpaccess file (all website are of the group website)

Ok, here's the crunch. Up until now, my users have been using plain
old msdos ftp program. Now, they are insisting on using CuteFTP ???
The problems is this file and directory list isn't working in the
remote area of CuteFTP. If you happen to know the directory structure,
you can change directory blind.

Any ideas ???

Cheers for now,
Jason

In complete setup. you need the external ls program in the <chroot>/bin
directory and maybe some libraries and other things. Check the FAQ.

Well, this at least proves the mailing list is still alive.

Unfortunately, it also proves the mailing list is losing emails.

I was becoming concerned that there was suddenly no traffic over the past
week. I believe the problem, though, is only related to the wu-ftpd
mailing list, since I've had good, fast communications with the listproc
software on wugate.

I've looked through much of the on-line documentation and the man pages
and am still wondering if there is a way to set a umask on a user
directory (say ~user/bob) that is different than that specified in the
-u switch...

Thanks.

Use the upload clause to force a specific permission set on uploaded
files.

If the user will be creating directories, upgrade to a VR version or
BeroFTPD, and use the upload clause to force a permission set on created
directories.

Help for upload is in:

ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/upload.configuration.HOWTO

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

The documentation on upload clauses found in the ftpaccess manpage and
the upload-config.howto seem to talk about how anonymous and guest
accounts can upload to specified user-owned directories.

What I am trying to find out is if I have user ``bob'' with a home
directory of /usr/home/bob and a public_html directory under that, how
do I set it so that bob can upload to ~ and have one umask and upload to
public_html with another umask.

Can it be done? The docs are vague on real user info.

Thanks a lot.

Ed

Well, now as you are stating this I recall that I wondered too why in
the past days there has been less traffic than in the weeks before.
Just for interest:
Do you already know what has been the reason?

Have a nice day

Do yourself a favor and make 'bob' a guest. You shouldn't allow any
real-user access at all (or, only allow it for the single ftp admin: you).

Upload clauses apply to real users.

If someone could tell me if this is a good idea or bad idea. It would
also be helpful if you would me some of the functions that would help
me to implement this.

I am looking to add the ability to upload a file from one FTP server
to another FTP server (I guess build a basic FTP client in the
server). The idea is that a customer would FTP to ftp server A. and
upload a file. Then ftp server A. would open an intranet connection
to ftp server B and login is using the user id and password that was
used by the user to login on to system A. At this point Server A would
transfer the file to ftp system B. When the transfer from A to B was
finished it would then return control to the customer terminal or it
could release the terminal and do the transfer in the background. Then
files would exist on both system right away. I know something like
this could be done by a script (like Mirror) but then passwords would
be listed in an unencrypted state or I would have to make the script
to run as setuid on the target system.

Sounds like you need to look at 'mirror' or an FTP proxy.

Don't know what you're trying to do but the way I read it, it looks
perillous. If you're trying to allow outside customers to drop off files
for inside users, leave them on the outsode server and have the insiders
come get them. I would NEVER allow ANYTHING from the outside world past a
firewall/proxy without someone on the inside coming to pick it up.

Think of it like a letter-bomb .. should the mail room deliver it to the
board room, or make the CFO come pick it up? Damage will be bad either
way. It may mean the CFO has to walk a bit, and he may make life hard on
your for making him do it, but at least there's _something_ left of the
executive board after the smoke clears. You question, though, sounds even
worse .. you want to let the bomber have the keys to the board room so
it's easier for him to drop off the letter where it will do the most
damage. What you should be doing is bomb-proofing the mail room.

What M. Lundberg is suggesting is exactly how our company does this. We
have a Linux box running wu_ftpd outside the firewall. Customers are given
guest accounts under the group ftponly. Jobs inside the firewall utilize a
real user and use 'cd ~username' to get to the appropriate directories.

This has been very effective and in use for two years, with over 200 users
using the system. We can move users around and add disk drives very easily,
since all references to get files use '~user', and all users are guests.

The only problem we have is knowing 'when' files arrive. We have to run
jobs every hour or so to go look for new files and download them.

BeroFTPD has an email extension which will mail you automagically when a
file arrives.

I've got something similar in my TODO list, but I'll allow you to run a
given program instead of simply emailing. My plan is to offer an email
program as an example so my version has a feature similar to BeroFTPD's (I
could, I suppose, even use Bernhard's syntax to run that program).

Up-side: solves the problem quickly, if your systems support it.

Down-side: yet another security risk on the bastion host, and one which
has special privilege allowing it to cross from the DMZ to the secured
area at the bidding of an outsider.

If you are going between an external network and an internal network, nfs
raises several severe security issues. It would require your firewall
administrator to open several rpc ports - many of which have known
vulnerabilities. The risk to your internal network makes this not
desirable.

One of my folks "found" a perl ftp script somewhere which would allow a
scripted login and transfer of data bewteen two servers using ftp (I can
supply the source if desired). One potential idea would be to have the
internal machine "ftp" the files from the external machine (a data pull -
not a push) based on sometype of cron schedule. Just some thoughts.

I have being trying to set up a guest ftp account for a user to be able to
drop files into a directory on a linux machine.

When I ftp to the machine I get the directory specified as root( chroot'ed
into it ).

But I get no list of the files in the ( remote ) directory.
I have placed ls in a bin directory in this 'root' directory.

I have done an ldd of ls and copied the files shown from /lib
into a lib directory in this 'root' directory.

Anu ideas as to what I am doing wrong ( or omitting )

Punt. There's statically linked precompiled support binaries in my FTP
site: ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/binaries/intel/linux/

The example site is a working Linux site since, with static binaries,
Linux is also a minimum installation.

I know this is not part of the wu-ftpd list, but here's something
to think about:

Instead of using wu-ftpd, setup the 2 servers for strict ssh authentication,
then use rsync with the -e ssh option. This will accomplish 2 things:
1. The 2 hosts involved will ONLY have authentication between themselves
(ONLY if the hosts you set up are TRUSTED)
2. The data between the 2 hosts will be encrypted, therefore the pipe is
secured and the data cannot be decrypted.

Just a thought, even though this doesn't pertain to wu-ftpd.

Greg, have you ever though of adding ssh with wu-ftpd? That would be
way cool. The tunnel/pipeline is secure and the data... well, you know the
rest.

tunnelling FTP without a smart proxy or custom client/server is
problematic.

I'd love to add SSL to wu-ftpd, but that will have to be done outside the
US/Canada since it seems our silly governments consider the protocols to
be nuclear weaponry.

To have SSL is good, but there is no such client for both Mac and PC. I
would rather see SFTP for Mac and PC, not command prompt, but GUI interface!

But anyway, there is another a ssl-ftpd, which can be downloaded from
ftp.replay.com, includes RPM and SRPM packages. Anyone wanna hack it?

Hi,

when scanning our xferlog file I have found curious hosts there.
Their names consist of (from left to right) an alphanumerical
part, then there is something looking like a 3 part IP number,
after this follows "in-addr.arpa"

For example: hosta.hostb.123.123.123.in-addr.arpa

The above is only an example, number of the left host names and
the left host names themselves and the middle digits differ.

May be I'm too cautious, but what's that??
Especially, what about the "in-addr.arpa" part?
Can host names sent to wu-ftpd, or in other words received by
wu-ftpd, can these host names be hacked?

I appreciate helpful feedback.

Have a nice day
Michael

Sounds like transparent proxy to me... I know that IBM's firewall does this... (i.e. you ftp to the firewall & put user@host for username & then the transparent proxy connects fo ryou & passes the passwd & everything else along to the remote site). Works quite well (Actually works extreemly well). It doesn't require a userid or authentication on the firewall or anything like that. I agree it'd be nice for wu-ftpd to do something like this. Perhaps you'd like to add it :)

Hamish.

If someone could tell me if this is a good idea or bad idea. It would
also be helpful if you would me some of the functions that would help
me to implement this.

I am looking to add the ability to upload a file from one FTP server
to another FTP server (I guess build a basic FTP client in the
server). The idea is that a customer would FTP to ftp server A. and
upload a file. Then ftp server A. would open an intranet connection
to ftp server B and login is using the user id and password that was
used by the user to login on to system A. At this point Server A would
transfer the file to ftp system B. When the transfer from A to B was
finished it would then return control to the customer terminal or it
could release the terminal and do the transfer in the background. Then
files would exist on both system right away. I know something like
this could be done by a script (like Mirror) but then passwords would
be listed in an unencrypted state or I would have to make the script
to run as setuid on the target system.

I am looking to Load balance the 2 servers in a DMZ( not pass from and
outside server to an inside server). The system are in 2 different
data center that are linked by an private T1. So the proxy idea will
not work unless it could connect to 2 different systems at the same
time. The other suggestion of running another program (e-mail/script)
would be something I am looking for too combined with NFS running over
an encrypted link would work together great. If you could provide me
some information on what I would need to do to implement the
additional functionality so another program will run when a file
downloads.

On a side note. Those who are on Solaris and looking for encrypted
traffic between 2 or more servers/network's you might want to check
out Sun Screen Skip 1.1.1 is transparent to the user.

Sounds like you need to look at 'mirror' or an FTP proxy.

Don't know what you're trying to do but the way I read it, it looks
perillous. If you're trying to allow outside customers to drop off
files
for inside users, leave them on the outsode server and have the
insiders
come get them. I would NEVER allow ANYTHING from the outside world
past a
firewall/proxy without someone on the inside coming to pick it up.

Think of it like a letter-bomb .. should the mail room deliver it to
the
board room, or make the CFO come pick it up? Damage will be bad
either
way. It may mean the CFO has to walk a bit, and he may make life hard
on
your for making him do it, but at least there's _something_ left of
the
executive board after the smoke clears. You question, though, sounds
even
worse .. you want to let the bomber have the keys to the board room so
it's easier for him to drop off the letter where it will do the most
damage. What you should be doing is bomb-proofing the mail room.

Between two machines in the DMZ, I'd consider NFS. I'd also take a look
at a traffic director to handle the load balancing. Just got some
literature on a couple manufacturer's new models: they look good, are more
scalable, and should give you a lot more kick than DNS balancing ever
could.

I am having a problem getting the vitual root command to work with RedHat
5.2. I got it working on another box so I figure I must have it setup
correctly. The banner and logfiles command work fine just not the root
line. I tried to recompile making sure the the virtual CFLAG was set but
the compiler kept telling me that virtual was redefined. It did compile
but I am still having the same problem. The other box didn't shadow
passwords installed so I figure this must be the problem. Any ideas?

Several platforms have #define VIRTUAL in src/config/config.<os> so it's
always enabled. That's the cause of redefinition warning.

Which version of the daemon are you compiling?

Use ldd, check to see if you're missing any (normal) libraries.

NB: You're building for Redhat Linux where PAM is almost always installed.
If you're compiling VR17 on Linux, it will see PAM and use it in favor of
**ALL** other authentication methods. Even if you link statically, PAM
uses *.so libraries and a number of config files which you may be missing.

It's also possible that those are IP's in a CIDR block that are
not being resolved correctly. Try resolving 195.80.134.34,
if the result is "34.134.80.195.in-addr.arpa" or
"34.0/26.134.80.195.in-addr.arpa", then your DNS resolver is at fault.

Hope this helps,

Purchase the commercial version of wu-ftpd, FileDrive (www.filedrive.com)
It has a completely extensible authentication system called ActiveAgents.
You can plug in LDAP, SecurID, Entrust or your own custom auth scheme
and database.

It's statically linked and ldd complained. I think most of the normal
stuff is there because
even with the complainants, it did compile and install. The only part that
is screwy is the
virtual root.

It lets me log in as a real user and even logs to the virt log but won't
drop into that dir.

I'll take a look at the pam libraries and make sure they are installed.

Of course, BeroFTPD can use alternative authentication modules, if you
want to save yourself some money :)

If you continue to have problems, try VR17. If nothing else, it'll match
the version I'm currently shipping so I can answer more authoritatively
about configuration questions. Precompiled binaries are available. The
non-RPM binaries I build support shadow password, no PAM, and should work
immedeately on your system.

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

Ok.. I have RedHat 5.2 installed and have pam_lradius.so compiled and
installed. Does anyone have some pointers for me on what I need to put
in my /etc/pam.d/ftp file. I can't find any docs that help me out with
this...

vr/16 my shadow file is recognized and used correctly, but with version =

password i work with version vr. 16.

I read FAQ about howto compile version with shadow password support, but =
I think If previous version works without any modifications why new =
version wan't work. Maybe it's bug.

If you're compiling for Linux, it's probably that you have PAM installed
on the machine. Set up PAM for FTP or compile without PAM support:
./build NOPAM=1 lnx

If you're not using Linux, please let me know which platform you are
using.

Folks

I've compiled and installed wu-ftp v 2.4.2 successfully (on Solaris v2.6)
and can connect to it perfectly using regular user accounts. However I get
"Cannot set guest privileges" when I try one of the guest users I have
created. I've been through the guest howto document and all seems OK.

Has anyone come across this before?

All pointers appreciated

The error message in the system log will probably help a lot.

MIME-Version: 1.0

X-Sender: [email protected]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

Greetings. I need a bit of input on how to solve a problem I have.

Several of the staff/faculty here maintain several different web
pages, scattered throughout the webserver docs tree. Most of them are
using Netscape publishing to accomplish this, but a few have requested
FTP access.

I have been able to set them up with real access (guest won't work in
this case I don't think) to their primary directory, but I now need
an easy way (is there such a thing?) to give them access to their
secondary directory.

Example:
User fred has a primary directory under the web tree of /courses/fred/
They also maintain the Automobile Club pages under /clubs/auto/

They will log in to /courses/fred/ right now, but I can't think of an
easy way to only let them then access /clubs/auto/ without having full
roam over the rest of the server. They are set up in their own group,
so if anything, they only have read access to /etc/passwd etc (which
is shadowed, and 99% don't even know what a unix server looks like)
and no delete access.

Any ideas I can try?

Why not simply use two logins - to use your example, give fred a login
"fred" to access /courses/fred,
and a login"auto" to access /clubs/auto. This way you can have both users
as guests and restrict their access to only those directories (if you wish
to have the appropriate chroot file tree).

Alternatively, you could chroot them to /courses and /clubs, have the
chroot files in these directories (bin, etc, lib ... ) and use unix
permissions to restrict them to only changing their specific area. You
could also have them automatically cd'd to the required directory in this
model using the homedir/./logindir syntax in etc/passwd.

Hope this helps,

James

I have successfully set up several wu-ftpd guess accounts as specified in
the guest-howto, or so I thought. Upon viewing my xferlogs, I noticed that
transfers from the accounts I had set up following the guest-howto were not
showing up in the xferlogs, but that they did show up partially in the
messages logs. I have asked several friends who have far more linux
experience than myself, and they are stumped on why the xferlog isn't
tracking those accounts either, so I figured I would post my question to you
in hope of some insight on this matter. Currently running Redhat 5.2, kernal
2.2.3. Any other information you may need, just ask!

I know that this has been mentioned before, but is there any further word on
what is wrong with the list server? I managed to get 1 message from the list
in the last 24 hours, and I think that is a bit strange. Usually there will be
at least 10 and up to 20 or so.

Anyway, hopefully if everyone gets this, there will be some replies generated
and I'll see some traffic just to confirm that the list is working.

Thanks,

James

It has been a bit quiet recently. Until Greg posted his email I just
assumed it was a slack period (has happened occasionally before), but maybe
there is a problem.

Anyway, I got the mail, so at least James can post to the list, and at least
I can receive from it...

The sudden lack of traffic on the wustl.edu list has me worried;
especially considering I _know_ some emails are not making it to the list
and I've heard others make the same comment.

If you have attempted to ask a question and it has not appeared on the
list, you may send your questions directly to me but I'd prefer to start
swtiching such questions over to the WU-FTPD Development Group.

Is there a way to change the login banner message, other than recompiling?

In VR17 you can use the following:

greeting full
greeting brief
greeting terse

Where

full --- full version information including ftpcmd.y changes (the
parenthetical number you've always wondered about) and the date
and time ftpcmd.y was last processed into ftpcmd.c (no, that's
not the date and time you compiled, how odd).

brief -- shows just the server name. Ie:
220 ftp.wu-ftpd.org FTP server ready.

terse -- just the fact the server is up.
220 FTP server ready.

Any other forms, or on non-VR versions, and you'll need to hack the
source.

This is the realpath() overflow discussed in

http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-99-03-FTP-Buffer-Overflows.html

Please review that document to determine if your version of the WU-FTPD
daemon is vulnerable.

The addition of a backdoor (if true) is new, however.

Anyone wishing to discuss this matter may contact me through either of the
WU-FTPD discussion lists cc'd above or through private email.

Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi all,

I am trying to install VR17 on my HP-UX box running 10.20. The code compiles
okay. But when I install it, I am having problems with both anonymous and guest
users. Everything worked okay on VR15.

For anonymous users, I get the message in syslog:

Apr 14 13:08:05 ftp ftpd[24210]: FTP LOGIN REFUSED (ftp not in /etc/passwd) FROM
207.242.212.2 [207.242.212.2], anonymous
Apr 14 13:08:05 ftp ftpd[24210]: FTP session closed

Here is my entry in /etc/passwd:

ftp:*:500:1:Anonymous FTP user:/home/ftp/./pub:/usr/bin/false

I'm having a different problem for guest users:

Syslog looks like:

Apr 14 13:07:38 ftp ftpd[24209]: ACCESS DENIED (not in any class) TO
207.242.212.2 [207.242.212.2]
Apr 14 13:07:38 ftp ftpd[24209]: FTP LOGIN REFUSED (access denied) FROM
207.242.212.2 [207.242.212.2], mmcvaradmin
Apr 14 13:07:38 ftp ftpd[24209]: FTP session closed

My ftpaccess file looks like:

class local guest,anonymous 207.242.212.2 163.228.*.*
class remote guest *
class anonymous anonymous *

#limit guest 30 Any /usr/local/lib/ftpd/guestlimit.msg
limit local 30 Any /usr/local/lib/ftpd/guestlimit.msg
limit remote 30 Any /usr/local/lib/ftpd/guestlimit.msg
limit anonymous 30 Any /usr/local/lib/ftpd/anonlimit.msg

guestgroup guest
guestgroup lguest

I did a bin/ckconfig to make sure all the files are there. I've also done a
strings against the ftpd program to make sure its using the ftpaccess file I
think it is. I'm running out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks to Wally for building these.

These RPMs install the deamon standalone (not inetd).

I'm thinking the problem is a bad build. Try one of the prebuilt binaries
from my FTP site (be sure to chose the right one for your system). ISTM
someone else had a similar problem a few weeks ago and it turned out to
the trusted/nontrusted HP/UX and a switch in src/config/config.hpx which
was making it hard to get the right version. Let me know how the
prebuilts work.

It looks like the guest user isn't EXPLICITLY listed in /etc/group as
member of the group guest or lguest; be sure to check that.

Greg,

Someone else mentioned the Trusted thing too. I checked the config.hpx file
from VR15 and it had TRUSTED undef, but in VR17 you have TRUSTED define. I
changed it back to undef, and both anonymous and guest users work fine now.

Hi,

I'm using BeroFtpd 1.3.4 on Solaris 2.5.1.

How can we collect statistics on transfer times ? Is there tools to
monitor the progress
of data transfer at different points?

Thank you,

Folks,

I am trying to build ftpd vr18 for Apple's MacOS X server. The system is BSD4.4.

I get malloc errors shown below. I can get rid of them by removing the
definitions in ftw.c I am not sure if that is a good thing to do.

Making support library.
cc -O -DDEBUG -c ftw.c
ftw.c: In function `chwalk':
ftw.c:195: conflicting types for `malloc'
/System/Library/Frameworks/System.framework/Headers/bsd/stdlib.h:100:
previous declaration of `malloc'
make: *** [ftw.o] Error 1

The next error is:

MMaking support library.
rm -f libsupport.a
ar cq libsupport.a strcasestr.o authuser.o ftw.o
ranlib libsupport.a

Making ftpd.
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/libc.a', needed by `ftpd'. Stop.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hmm. guess I should start coding it if you're compiling it already. You
must mean VR17. :)

first off, it's possible that nobody's done a port for wu-ftpd on MacOS.
Is it really BSD or is it MacOS which looks a lot like BSD? You may be
charting new groupnd here.

Some specific things to do:

ftw.c error: add the following line to the end of your
src/config/config.<os> file where <os> is whatever you're saying to the
build command:

#define NO_MALLOC_PROTO

make error: try changeing src/makefiles/Makefile.<os> where it reads

LIBC = /usr/lib/libc.a

make it say simply

LIBC =

Subject: Compiling VR17 with old AIX
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
X-Mailer: Mutt 0.93.2i
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

I am new to WU-FTP. I first compiled 2.4.2-beta-13 and set up all
the config files etc. Everything worked fine. I then realised this
was an old version, so I upgraded to beta-18. I then heard about
a security problem that was fixed in the VR releases after 10, so
I went for the latest version - VR17. This works fine under Digital
Unix, but my main server is an old RS6000 running AIX3.2. This
fails on compile as follows:-

make args are :
make opts are :

Copying Makefiles.

Linking src/config.h

Making support library.
cc -O2 -D_NO_PROTO -c getusershell.c
cc -O2 -D_NO_PROTO -c fnmatch.c
cc -O2 -D_NO_PROTO -c strcasestr.c
cc -O2 -D_NO_PROTO -c strsep.c
cc -O2 -D_NO_PROTO -c authuser.c
"/usr/include/netinet/if_ether.h", line 82.9: 1506-007 (S) Struct or
union arphdr is undefined.
1501-106: (S) Include file net/if_dl.h not found.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

Make Quitting.

Making ftpd.
cc -O2 -D_NO_PROTO -I.. -I../support -L../support -c ftpd.c
"/usr/include/netinet/if_ether.h", line 82.9: 1506-007 (S) Struct or
union arphdr is undefined.
1501-106: (S) Include file net/if_dl.h not found.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

Make Quitting.

then errors about not finding libsupport.a, which are obvious.

In both authuser.c and ftpd.c there is a "ifdef AIX" block that includes
both if_ether.h and net/if_dl.h. I do not have the latter on my system
and perhaps the former is different from what is expected. It looks
to me as if the AIX config files and makefiles are only tested for
AIX4.

Can anyone tell me what these include files are used for in the code,
or suggest any other fix for the AIX 3 systems.

Cheers, Brian.

I haven't worked on AIX3.2 for a while now, but I seem to recall that
the default C compiler shipped tended not to work so well. I had lots
of trouble compiling things until I managed to compile the current version
of gcc and then used that with good success from then on.

I know that I probably didn't help much, but good luck.

# It has been a bit quiet recently. Until Greg posted his email I just

I have reviewed the logs and see nothing immediately funky but that doesn't
mean there isn't. I'll see if this gets through...

Is anyone working on the above combination? with v1.3.4, and
--enable-pam, it doesn't appear to do anything ... I have ssh with PAM
enabled, and it works fine, so my pam_modules are working fine...

If not, I'll most likely jump into this when I get back rom holidays...

Great, the only question I have is does this mean that the BeroFTPD and VR
stuff is going to be all merged into one happy family again? I'm using
BeroFTPD here, and have no problems in changing back to just straight
wu-ftpd, but don't want to lose all the features...

I am using OpenLinx. I want to setup a guest ftp account, so that user can
only ftp but not telnet to the host, and user is only limited to his own
home directory and under, user can not browse the whole file system.

I read Michael Brennen's Guest-Howto, I changed the entry in /etc/passwd to
read like

may:x:500:500: p mayer:/home/may/./:/etc/ftponly

I put an entry /etc/ftponly in /etc/shells

when logon, user is defaulted to his home instead of the root, but user
would still be able to use cd or ls to browser the whole file system.

Is there anything wrong with this? hope people who know the anwser could
give me a hand.

thanks for help

Hi Gregory:

I tried to download VR17 from ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/ but got a
timeout error. Is there a problem with this site?

Also, I just heard of a security hole newly discussed by bugtraq and
wanted to know if VR17 fixes that hole. Do you know anything about this new
hole?

Offline for a few. I'm offsite, my people tell me it was a failure
somewhere. You're reading this, it's back up. My reply is taking a while
because I"m having to deal with PSI's typical lossage through NC (how they
can call 80% packet loss 'normal traffic' is beyond me) .. anyway ..

There was a posting yesterday on Bugtraq. As near as I can tell, it was
about an attack directed at the realpath() bug. The posting claimed to
work against all versions and derivitives of WU-FTPD, including
specificall VR. I can't get it to. Others on Bugtraq can't get it to.
The author of the posting hasn't seen fit to do more than make that one
vague claim; no evidence, no daemon version numbers. We (the wu-ftpd
group) are looking at the code to see if there's something else which
needs fixing. All I can say right now is only one person has made a
claim, that claim looks unfounded, and he's not sharing.

My bet, he doesn't even know which version of the daemon he's running. He
may think he's running a VR version but here's his server's greeting:

220 dumb.admin.edu FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-18](1) Mon Aug 3 19:17:20 EDT 1998) ready.

[The name has been changed to protect the foolish.]

Um, isn't that the clean-build date and time from Redhat's RPM? By golly,
I think it is. Please, don't tell me the fool is complaining and he's
running a default-install from the RH CD.

Here's how the attack talked about in bugtraq works:

In a loop, MKD/CWD (make directory, create directory) until we're near the
limit MAXPATHLEN. Do a MKD/CWD with the attack payload. The payload
itself is not long enough to overflow a buffer. It's trying to get the
daemon to overflow a buffer inside realpath() when rebuilding the full
pathname.

Let's say this attack does work. Is there anything you can do to stop it?
Sure. Don't allow world-writable directories in your FTP site. Where you
must allow them, use proper upload clauses to limit the user's ability to
create subdirectories.

So, while there may be problems with the daemon (given the sorry state of
the code, can you blame it?) _this_ attack doesn't appear work and nobody
has any evidence there is one which _will_ work.

Subject: SDI-wu is NOT the worm

We've been very surprised by the last message with subject "WU-ftp worm",
which the author claims to be hit by a ftpd worm.

As the authors of the code attached in that message, we would like to
say that we have no connections with this worm and we've never seen such
code before. That means we do NOT have the code.

Sekure SDI is not a cracker group. Our exploit code has been made only for
testing purpose and it was NOT suppose to be released.

Also, we would like to make a little comment about the wu-ftpd exploit:

- The SDI-wu code needs some fixes to work in Red Hat and other linux
distribution. Script kiddies -> don't even try to run it!

- The first exploit released (made by duke - I think ADMwuftpd) will not
work. WU-ftpd will discard nulls characters so the return address
(bf ff f3 c0) will not be passed to the stack, which means we cannot
execute the instructions inserted in the buffer. It also will bring you to
the reason we've not coded the exploit in the ordinary way.

- Unlike the WU-ftp, the PROFTP will not accept some of the characters of
the standard shellcode and exploit code, so it's much more difficult to
exploit. I would say it's nearly impossible.

I've received a lot of message asking about how to use the exploit, bla
bla. We will NOT help kiddies with this tool.

At last, I would like to make clear that Sekure SDI has nothing to do with
this worm. Our goal is only to seek and provide security information.

* PLEASE, updated your wu-ftpd to the newest version! *

Thank you,

Hi:

I tried to compiled wu-ftpd 2.4.2 VR17 on SGI IRIX 6.2 and got errors:

How should I fix this?

By the way, will the SGI build (documentation says it is for SGI Irix
4.0.5a work for IRIX 6.2?

Mona,

getusershell and endusershell are in the support directory directory of
the wu-ftpd distribution. Make sure your Makefile adds the -L../support
line and includes the -lsupport library.

Hope this helps.

Our public wu-ftpd server (2.4.2-vr16 on RedHat 5.2) is sitting behind
an Iproute box that does address translation and packet-filtering for
us. The ftp server has a private IP address behind the Iproute box. All
outbound traffic is permitted by the packet filter. Only inbound packets
on specific ports are permitted. Pretty standard stuff, I think.

We discovered yesterday that we had problems with FTP clients that ran
in passive mode. After doing a little research, we:

- added the following lines to the /etc/ftpaccess file:

passive address 192.168.2.112 192.168.2.0/24
passive address 206.123.123.123 0.0.0.0/0
passive ports 0.0.0.0/0 33300 33350

The intent was that internal clients would see the private
address. External clients would see the public address (which gets
translated 192.168.2.112). We also configured the packet-filter to
allow port range 33300-33350 inbound for the client connects to the
server data port.

Unfortunately, when we attempt a passive connection from an external
ftp client, we see the following:

petunia:~>ftp ftp.whatever.com
Connected to ftp.whatever.com.
220 gatekeeper.whatever.com FTP server ready.
Name (ftp.whatever.com:smith): ftp
331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.

ftp> pass
Passive mode on.
ftp> dir
227 Entering Passive Mode (206,123,123,123,139,128)
ftp: connect: Connection refused

>From an external address, I can telnet to 206.123.123.123 on all ports
in the range 33300 to 33350, so I know that the packet filter is
passing the packets. What's very strange is that when I run "netstat
-a" on the ftp server after running the PASV command, I see the
following entry:

Active Internet connections (including servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 206.123.123.123:35712 *:* LISTEN

So the server IS listening on the data port, but why is the "Local
Address" the EXTERNAL IP address (203.123.123.123), and not the internal
(192.168.2.112) address? Does this imply that the ftp server is somehow
listening on another address? Even from the internal network, with the
listening connection as above, I cannot complete the transfer with
"telnet 192.168.2.112 35712": I get "connection refused".

In the ftpaccess man page, the relevant note says:

"NOTE: this does not change the address the daemone actually lis-
tens on, only the address reported to the client. This feature
allows the daemon to operate correctly behind IP-renumbering
firewalls."

Any suggestions as to why external ftp clients are unable to connect
in passive mode? I've scanned the archives and cannot find anything
that seems relevant to my experience.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

First point: Your server is set up incorrectly. You're using NAT and the
bind() to the outside address was successful. That means the machine has
an interface listening on the external address. You don't want that. It
defeats the purpose of NAT. Probably it's a leftover from before using
VR16.

What you should be seeing is:

425 Can't open passive connection: Cannot assign requested address.

Use ifconfig to determine which interface is listening on the wrong
address block. Disable that interface immedeately with ifconfig and
correct the startup scripts of the machine so it doesn't come back.

Second point: Guess what. You're right. The wrong address is being
bind()'d. Here's a patch for VR16. If the patch won't apply cleanly,
it's because of whitespace. I've put it in my FTP site if you need a
clean copy:

Greg,

Great support! I sent my question on a Friday night at 10:30PM, and had
an answer three hours later.

The patch worked fine, and I can now do passive ftp transfers correctly.
I'll look into the interface problem you mention.

Cheers,

Paul

I just spent the past hour going through the VIRTUAL.* doc file trying to
get things setup here, and...alas...ther is at least one bug in it. It
says all you have to do for a virtual host is set 'root <root-dir>'...this
didn't work, so I scanned through the ftpaccess.5 man page, and found that
it has to have 'anonymous-root' set for this to work...

Might be someone wants to fix? :(

Hi again...

This one I can't seem to find anything on in the man page...the
'logfile' directive that the VIRTUAL.* file points out doesn't appear to
work, as all logging is going to /usr/local/log/xferlog instead of the

Just to add to the above, the ftpaccess man page fails to mention the
'passwd' and 'shadow' clauses, and, more seriously, BeroFTPD itself
doesn't quite support the virtual passwd file feature on FreeBSD when
installed 'out of the box'. I spent the last few days fixing this and
several other problems:

- When compiled with --enable-passwd, it should read /etc/master.passwd
instead of /etc/passwd (or, alternatively, configure should detect
master.passwd and enable shadow password support).

- Parsing of the FreeBSD passwd file needed some changes because of the
class/change/expire fields, and the shell had an extra character
erroneously appended to it, causing the lookup in /etc/shells to fail.

- When the upload clause is set to chown the uploaded file to the uid/gid
of the directory, the upload would die with 'Permission denied' as soon as
it began. Also, mkdir'ed directories were not being chowned at all.

- Changed the order of some operations during the login phase to check in
ftpusers _before_ looking up the account in the passwd file.

- Added a bit of extra functionality that made sense to me -- use the
'root' clause in ftpaccess, if present, to chroot() real users to the
given path. Currently 'root' is only used when compiled with OLDVIRT.

I've tested all of these changes on my system and they all appear to do
the right thing, though I don't know if/how they might affect guest users
because I don't use that feature. I contacted Bernhard a few days ago
regarding submitting patches but I've yet to receive a reply.

I was running 2.4.2 - beta 18 on my Solaris 2.5.1 box - when we had some
problem with the ftp server.
I shutdown the ftp server, then attempted to restart it. However, it did
not restart. I found the following message in my log files:

<nodename> ftpd[459]: getpeername (/usr/sbin/ftpd): Invalid argument

I upgraded to 2.4.2 Final on the same box, recompiled and installed (
note: it couldn't ranlib -- probably because ranlibs path was not in my
env path ). At any rate I get:

<nodename> ftpd[548]: getpeername (/usr/sbin/ftpd): Invalid argument

I am typing : /usr/sbin/ftpd -aioldD at the command prompt.
I have also tried to restart the process via inetd.conf - no go there
either.

thanks,
Jason

Dear Scrappy,
Went thru this same discovery process not to
long ago when I upgraded my Beta Virtual operation
to BeroFTPD. So use anonymous-root instead of
root as you discovered. Need to add
--enable-oldvirt to configure command to get
logfile directive working. Bernhard said he
would add anonymous-logfile and guest-logfile
directives to version 1.3.5 and update docs when
I pointed this problem out.

Jason,

There are two locations in the ftpd. c code where getpeername is called.
One is for deamon processing and the second is for inetd processing.
These are determined by the compile switch on the makefile or the config.h
include header.

Probably would make sense to determine which of these two you are trying
to fight. If it's from the inetd process, this is determined prior to any
of the ftpd arguments being scanned off of the input line - so the options
should not be entering the picture yet.

I suspect this is NOT ftpd related - but a larger issue in your solaris
system. You may want to verify some of your solaris settings. Probably
the first one I would look at is to verify your default route is set on
that box. This is some thing that "could change" across a boot - and
drive you absolutely crazy.

Hope this helps.

I love Unix, the unexpected always pops up to make things interesting.

I have a Sun box running SunOS 5.6
I was attempting to install wu-ftpd per the instructions at
http://smc.vnet.net/ , FAQ section, Question 8. I got done with all the
instructions and discovered my web pages are no longer accessible. I've
restored the inetd.conf to the original and restarted inetd, and the problem
persists.

After over a year with Unix, I am still a neophyte. Any help is GREATLY
appreciated.

I don't know what the instructions are since you didn't give a full URL
and the site is not usable to Lynx.

I'll assume it told you to revoke world-read and/or world-execute
permissions on some or all of the files or directories in your user's
homes. If so, say "Ooopsie", and put 'em back. Most HTTP servers will
only handle files which are world readable. If you want the files only
available over HTTP (and not over FTP) you'll have to redesign the
directory layout and permissions.

It's slow enough to be hard to use anyway.. I just looked at it appears
that he has installed beta-15. Not a good idea anyway. It seems he has not
paid any attention to the security announcements.

FWIW, here are the steps in the FAQ he is talking about, and I can't see
how any of this would have affected a Web server unless he did something
else he's not telling us about.

In any case, Greg is correct in the paragraph above. http and ftp can be
difficult (or impossible) to mix due to the varying permissions requirements.

Q8:

I want to install wu-ftpd on my system. What are the steps?

A8:

Suman Malla and Detlef Mauritz took the wu-ftpd binary from this site
and performed the following steps. Details may vary with your site.
There is now a version that installs in /usr/local. Be careful to make
copies of any files you may change. It is very important that you read
the the documentation for more help.

1. create directory: /opt/WUftpd
2. pkgadd -d wu-ftpd-2.4
3. vi /opt/WUftpd/etc/ftpaccess
create the following lines:
class all real,guest *
guestgroup ftpguests
to allow only ftp-access for real-user and guest-user, not for
anonymous; the guest-user
have to be a member of the group ftpguests
4. create the group "ftpguests" in /etc/group
5. create the user-account, the line in passwd-file has to look like:
guestuser:x:1069:15:Guest FTP-user:/home/guestuser/./anydir:/bin/ksh
- where 15 is the id of the group ftpguests
- the directory /home/guestuser is the root directory of this user
6. vi /etc/inetd.conf
change line:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
in.ftpd
to:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /opt/WUftpd/etc/ftpd ftpd
-d
7. restart inetd
8. create the following directories and files:
(you can copy them from /export/ftp)

The wu-ftpd version on that site is *OLD* and should be replaced with
a newer version.

I can't find a FAQ on wu-ftpd at http://smc.vnet.net/ and question 8 in
the FAQ on wu-ftpd I maintain is on a different subject.

Download the newest version from
ftp.academ.com:/pub/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd-2.4.2.tar.Z

Oh and that faq is at

Sounds like something in the access for the files of the webserver. wu-ftpd
has nothing to do with it (although a better definition of "no longer
accessible" could help to answer this question).

I got it fixed. Somehow, I have no idea how, the server_user got changed in
the httpd.conf file. I changed it back and now it works.

I dont know if this is the right the place to ask this question, if now can
someone please point me in the right directions. I have two machines
connected on a network. One is running the apache and mail and the other
is running ftp. Is there a way that i can have both machines Authenticate
from one passwd file? The apache and mail computer has all the users on its
passwd file. Does anyone know how to do this? Or know were i can find out
how to do this? Thanks you guys

you have two choices:

- move the chroot point so it's unique for each user. this is a pain to
set up and can be a bigger pain to maintain

- upgrade to VR17 and read the ftpaccess manpage section about
'restrict-uid'

neither will allow you to start them in a given directory and change to
others at the same level (in your example below, from
/home/username/./public_html to /home/username/./privatestuff). if you
need that, what you have is what you get because the problem cannot be
solved on the FTP server .. it's a user training / web browser issue.

Radius.

If you're running a machine which supports PAM (Linux, solaris and
another, HP/UX, I think) upgrade to VR17, install the PAM radius module
(don't ask me where to get it, don't know) and run Radius on the mail
server.

Any other machine, happy hacking.

..or DCE, but I digress ;-)

RADIUS is a reasonable answer that integrates the most readily with
existing OSes/servers/apps with a bare minimum of additional code in
more places than any of the other distributed computing environments.
(DCE, NIS, CORBA, etc)

That said, I now return you to our ftpd discussion :)

I got no useful replies. Today I looked at this again. I just commented
out the include lines for if_ether.h and if_dl.h in both authusers.c and
ftpd.c. It then compiled fine with both the AIX cc and gcc. It appears to
run OK. Have I done anything stupid re security by doing this. Could the
VR developers comment on what this include files do?

Another problem was that ./build install gave:-

make args are :
make opts are :
installing binaries.
sh: test: 0402-017 Specify a parameter with this command.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

Make Quitting.

I installed by hand. I do not understand this error message.

Cheers, Brian.

Hi,

I'm currently running VR15 on TSOL 2.5.1.

I will eventually have a bunch of users that I will need to chroot to a
common point and then restrict to their individual home directories.
But, I'm having some difficulties getting the upload statements to
behave as I'd like. What I want to do is to only allow the users to
upload files to their individual IN directories. Each user's incoming
directory would have the form /ftp/users/userX/IN where userX is unique
for each user. I hope that there's a way to do this so that one upload
clause will apply to all of the users, instead of having to use one
clause for each user. I'd like to have all uploaded files be owned by
user "ftptest" and match the group ID of the user who uploads the file.

Here's the relevant snippet from my current ftpaccess file:

guest-root /ftp/users %5000-5999
restricted-uid %5000-5999
upload absolute /ftp/users/* /IN yes ftptest *
0640 nodirs

However, I definitely don't have the upload clause correct. I've tried
a number of variations and read all the relevant FAQ's and how-to's I
could find, but to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to
do this?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi,

I would like to set different FTP file access permissions for several
groups on directories.

Suppose I have 2 directories dir1 and dir2 and I want to create :

- group1 who has W access to dir1 and dir2
- group2 who has W access to dir1 only
- group3 who has R access to dir1 and dir2
- group4 who has R access to dir1 only
- group5 who has R&W access to dir1 and dir2
- group6 who has R&W access to dir1 only

Is it possible to implement that with WU-FTP (with ACL since I am using
Solaris ?) or do I need another package ?

Thanks in advance for your help. Gildas.

Hi,

I am trying to setup an ftp server. When I login as anonymous I can list all the
directories and files under the ftp home. Is there any way I can restrict the
users to list these directories/files but they should be able to do cd(change
directory) if they know the name of the directory.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rakesh

I'm trying to configure the ability for anonymous users to upload
to a 'private' pre-established directory, in other words from
the parent dir, anonymous can *not* see the child(ren). Once
in the child they can only put files, they can't see or read
what others might have put (aka blind put). Below are the
entries from my /etc/ftpaccess and the output from a
ls -al from the parent, i.e. incoming. Right now this
errors with permission denied (Upload).

upload /ftp * no

FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ (1)
from the file wu-ftpd-2.4.2.tar.Z.

Is that the latest version? What's the difference between
that version and the VR series?

Does anyone have Examples for using guestgroup command in wu-ftp v17. I've
created a user, when I ftp in with this account Wu-ftp will not chroot to
the users home dir. I also have a group call ftpadmins which ftpuser belong
to . The ftpaccess file looks like this
passwd:
ftpuser:X:test user:/home/./ftpuser/:/bin/false

CLASS DSG REAL *.DSG.COM

guestgroup ftpadmins

I thought this would chroot the user to /home then CD them to there home
directory. This is not working for me.

Thanks Ray

'ftpuser' must be a member of 'ftpadmins' .. explicitly listed in
/etc/group (membership by default in /etc/passwd doesn't count)

the chroot and cd occurs, but if you're using a web browser you won't see
the cd since the first thing the browsers do is 'CWD /'

If the user is in /ftp/users/etc/passwd and you've set their home there,
you should be OK. Otherwise, you'll need to use a match against their
entry in the real /etc/passwd homedir.

World-read permissions on a directory control whether anonymous FTP users
can list its contenxt.

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

Main difference: a maintainer who fixes the code, an answers questions.

Other differences: about a year and a half of coding, correcting and
bugfixing. For details, read the FIXES* files.

Most important difference from youre point of view: it fixes the bug
you're fighting.

Hi, just went out and downloaded your latest and greatest ftp 2.4.2.
Glancing at what is there, I didn't see any notes on Y2K. Has there been
any y2k testing down on it at all? Since its public, its use at your own
risk, but I had heard that 2.4 was not y2k compliant. Any input on this
issue?

Thanks,

Ann Adams

I read a great response to this question a couple of days ago. This
answer serves for Wu-FTPD as well as the package it was originally posted
about.

Other responses I've seen point out that Unix software generally does not
have problems with dates (except, of course, the The Day the World Shall
End: January 18, 2038); simply asking the question shows a lack of
understanding of Unix.

My personal favorite response is: Who knows? Who care? Nobody seems to
know what the Y2K problem is, or what Y2K compliance means. You cannot
comply with a standard unless a standard has been set, and there is no
definition for the term 'Y2K compliance' nor a standard for 'Y2K
compliance' to which one might adhere.

Be thankful you have the source code available to you. Any so-called
'statement of compliance' from a vendor who will not provide the source
code is completely worthless; they don't know what it means to you, you
don't know what standard they're complying to, and you have no recourse if
it turns out you think something is broken (read their statements, they
invariable say, in effect, "We don't think it's broken, but don't bother
us about it if it is because we don't know what you're talking about").
With source code at least you can check it first and fix it later if
something breaks.

Where should you look in the source code? I don't know. The FTP protocol
doesn't use dates or even times, except in a couple of commentary strings
sent to the remote user. If there's a problem in them it's probably the
remote client's problem not the server's. I will point out that a change
was made a couple of years ago to support a perticular broken client's
(mis)interpretation of one of these responses. That change probably
represents the entire set of date or time related modifications made to
the daemon.

Hi,

I'm trying to compile wu-ftpd 2.4.2 for virtual servers. If I compile
it straight out of the box with "./build sgi" it works fine. I get
warnings, but no errors. If I add the "-DVIRUTAL" flag as explained in
http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/virtual-ftp-faq.html I get fatal
errors. Can anyone give me any pointers?

TIA

Well, I finally got the upload clause to work using:

<P>So far I haven't noticed any side effects from not being root. 
I believe this is necessary because _POSIX_CHOWN_RESTRICTED is apparently
not defined by default for Trusted Solaris, and it affects the fchown()
call.  Or if it is defined, I can't find it.  Anyway, you may
want to consider adding an #ifdef-else clause for the seteuid() call to
handle both cases.

I'd suggest you start here:

Greg, thanks for the tip. I was afraid someone would suggest this.
I've tried gcc 2.8.1, and I'm having trouble compiling that also. The
stage2 and stage3 compilers don't compare. If you happen to have a
pre-built binary lying around...? Or gcc2.7.x that I can compile 2.8.1
with?

I'll go back to gcc and see what I can figure out....

Thanks

I used to have someone providing pre-built binaries for the VR series. I
haven't heard from him in a while, though. I don't run Irix, so cannot
help you with them myself.

Since there are Sun binaries for gcc on the net, I'd be astonished if there
were no SGI binaries available. I'd do a Web search if I were you.

dear wu-ftpd-users

i've installed wu-ftpd (2.4.2) on a suse-linux (2.0.36). My /u/www/ftp
directory
has the following structure:

u/www/ftp/bin/ls
/u/www/ftp/etc/group
/u/www//ftp/etc/passwd
/u/www/ftp/pub/

When i login as anonymous-ftp-user i can connect to the
/u/www/ftp-directory but i can't see the files and directorys stored there.

to make sure that i do not have any permission problems i set all files and
directorys open. the user ftp is in the passwd
file and points to /u/www/ftp. There seems to be a problem with the
'ls'-command. I'm able to (blind)-download the files in the ~ftp/pub.
what did i wrong ???? (any cofiguration files ???)

thanx alot for your help

MIME-Version: 1.0

X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

On our system the default umask is set to 077. I wonder if there
is a way to set the default umask to 022 just for files created
in the ~/public_html directories of our real users. This would
save the trouble of doing a chmod for PC users who want to
"publish" their web documents. If this is not possible, I wonder
if a different default umask can be specified for a virtual
domain so that the users may use a this domain for publishing.

Thanks in advance!

Hubert,

Most likely you're using a statically linked ls without the proper
libraries. This has happened to me on my RH Linux boxes. Check out:

HELP!! I've been trying to compile WU-FTP 2.4.2 V18 on IRIX 6.4 and had no
results. I think part of the problem is the pathnames.h file it currently
reads as follows:

So what's the symptom of the problem? What version of the daemon are you
trying to compile? Someone else was having problems a day or two ago; his
looks like it's a lame compiler. Which compiler/version are you
attempting to use?

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

Subject: no login message on Solaris
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

Hello,

I had wu-ftp running on SunOS for about 2 years.
Now I installed version "wu-2.4(2) Wed Oct 8 " on Solaris2.5

Everything looks good and ftp is running since a couple of days.
ckconfig feels completely satisfied.

Now I found that login via ftp (anonymous or real) is not logged by the
system. I mean 'last ftp' shows nothing. This was not so on SunOS.

Is this correct? I really have checked the manual but found nothing.
What still do I have to do to log ftp-logins like 'normal' logins do?

Thanks for help,
Ralph Tremmel

hi,

i'm configuring a wuftp (2.4.2 VR17) server with guests accounts and the
-r option.
it works great but i'm a bit surprised with something with overwriting
and uploading :

i have these lines in my ftpaccess :
...
overwrite yes guest
...
upload / /*/incoming yes * 501 0660 nodirs
upload /* /*/outgoing yes * 502 0240 nodirs
upload / * no
upload /* * no

the user 4001 has the homedirectory : /4001
the user 5001 has the homedirectory : /

i touch a random file in /4001/incoming :
-rw------- 1 5001 500 2380 Apr 27 11:23
y1RHOCx

here are the attributes of /4001/incoming :
drwx--x--x 2 4001 500 512 Apr 27 11:18
incoming

when a the guest user 5001 type the command 'put a_file y1RHOCx',
the attributes become :
-rw------- 1 4001 500 2380 Apr 27 11:23
y1RHOCx

so the owner of the file has changed (as specified in the upload line in
ftpaccess, i guess), but the rights should be 0660 ?

i wonder if an overwrite is considered as an upload ?

thanks for any advise

I just loaded an wu-ftp (2.4.2- beta-13) on sun OS 2.5.1, when I ftp as an
anonymous ftp, I get a login failure
with the following message: 550 can't set guest privileges. The error entry
in the /var/adm/messages was pointing
to a none existent /var/adm/wtmp file which is not true,
Any suggestion

Please check your version number. If you are running 2.4 you should
immedeately upgrade to the latest version. there are so many security
problems with 2.4 you should discontinue FTP operations until you have
completed the upgrade.

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

ISTM Sun's 'last' commands are broken and cannot be trusted.

Here's the comment I added to the source for VR17 about this:

/*
* Date: Tue, 09 Mar 1999 14:59:42 -0600
* From: Chad Price <[email protected]>
* To: [email protected]
* Subject: Re: Problem w/ Solaris /var/adm/wtmpx and /usr/bin/last(1)
*
* I've been running Sol 2.4 since it came out, and the 'last' command
* has never worked correctly, for ftpd or logins either one. wtmpx
* often fails to close out sessions when the user logs out. As a
* result, I only use last to see who logged in, not who/when the
* logout occurred.
*
* When I first installed it, it was even worse, and they immediately
* told me to patch the system. This fixed it to semi-compus mentis,
* but not to working order. So I guess my conclusion is: ignore the
* wtmpx / last log stuff on Solaris 2.4 (and other releases of Solaris
* too from what I see in the comments), it's broken and always has
* been. I do of course stand ready to be corrected (in this case,
* pointed to a patch which really does fix it.)
*
*/

My recomendation: If you want this fixed properly, upgrade to a version of
Unix without so many problems. Linux and FreeBSD come to mind.

I can confirm that from personal experience over the last 4 years. (But
then Greg already included my comments..) Version 2.7 (7) of Solaris seems
to have fixed it, but I still do not trust it.

ISTM overwrite should be considered an upload at least for the question,
"May I upload?" Passing that it should obey existing ownerships and
permissions and not change those.

I just tested and, sure enough, you're right. The upload clause is
resetting the owner user/group. Everything else seems OK (upload check,
permissions check, permissions unchanged).

*sigh*

First off, you should upgrade. Beta-13 is very old and has a number of
security problems.

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

ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/

wu-ftpd Resource Center: http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/
wu-ftpd FAQ: http://www.cetis.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html
wu-ftpd list archive: http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/mail-archive/

What was the exact message in your system log? And did you see my posting
a few minute ago about Sun's lame Unix systems' handling of wtmp and the
last command?

Hello Gurus,

I just install the wu-ftp 2.4.2 , and I got now a problem with the
anonymous user : as I login anonymous with ftp, I can not get the
listing of all the directory ( like pub ) : the command is successfull
but I see anything ...

Any Idea ?
Thanks in advance,
Pierre.

Thanks to

The answer is that wu_ftp is looking for ls in the ~ftp/bin/ls, but in
my distribution ls is in the ~ftp/usr/bin/ !
A simple link ln -s ~ftp/usr/bin/ ~ftp/bin solve the problem ... But the
way wu_ftp is showing that it do not find the command is not really clear
, in the first time I suspected a security problem in the ftpaccess file.

Thanks again,
Pierre.

Hi,
I have downloaded wuftp (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-18-VR14](1) from
www.bull.de/pub/aix432) and I'm trying to see if it can fullfill my
"wishes".

I would like to create a ftp server in AIX and have different users
accessing only their home directories (to chroot to $HOME).

Let say the anonymous ftp has its root dir in /home/ftp. When another user,
let say kalle, is ftp'ing to the machine he should be seeing
/home/ftp/kalle only and nothing above that.

I've been trying to access information about wuftp to accomplish that, but
haven't found anything that helps......

The issue I have is that I'll get to /home/ftp/kalle, but I can still do a
"cd .." and see the directories above $HOME of the kalle. I can even go
down in other users $HOME which is what I want to prevent.

This is my config :
-------------

/etc/inetd.conf:
ftp stream tcp4 nowait root /usr/local/bin/ftpd ftpd -a

/etc/passwd (all AIX users defined):
