Hello,

I recently installed a new Red Hat 5.2 system and had wu-ftpd 2.4.2b18-1
working great. I tried to upgrade it today. I got the new rpm from
ftp://ftp.infomagic.com/pub/mirrors/linux/RedHatContrib/libc6/i686/

I install the new RPM from infomagic...

[root@webhost ben] rpm -Uvh wu-ftpd-2.4.2b18-2.1

Then I tried to ftp and got this error:

I'd suggest not bothering with the Beta-18 release. It has security
problems and you don't want it.

That's not VR17. That's Beta-17. You don't want it; it's too insecure.

Probably it's just called 'ftpd'.

Installing patches is probably it. Very few people need them; you're
not one of them.

Shadow passwords are not PAM. PAM is PAM. You probably don't need PAM
from the sound of things. If it's there (which I doubt from what you're
saying) the build process will detect it and use it.

Um, yes? Or no. Yes, you apply patches using the 'patch' command. No,
you normally don't patch a patched file. 2.4.2.tar.gz + vr17.patch ->
2.4.2-vr17.tar.gz .. what you did was 2.4.2-vr17.tar.gz - vr17.patch ->
messed up 2.4.2.tar.gz .. You had them and took them out, along with
about 600,000 lines of corrections and additions to the daemon.

Go back, do step 0. Stop at that point, you're done. If it doesn't work,
from what you're saying, it's an incomplete or incorrect system install.

Hi !

This small pacth correct two small buggs and add 3 capabilities :).

1. If clien connect to wu-ftpd from dial-in start passive upload and
connect breaks (phisically), data-sockest hangs for ever. Standart
method for this situation is to use tcp-wrapper with option KeepAlive,
but it not workin with wu-ftp,- it set SO_KEEPALIVE for command socket,
but not set to data-socket.
This patch has set SO_KEEPALIVE to all sockets used by wu-wtpd, if
ftpaccess contain directive
KeeyAlive yes
or
KeepAlive on

2. Add capabilities in ftpaccess - name and path of master xferlog file.
Sintacsis is:
xferlog /var/adm/myxferlog
If this directive is omitted used old method (constant _XFERLOG_PATH
constant of translation time).

3. When system use the traffic-accounting subsistem You need in
possibillity to switch log-files without stopping servers. The named or
unnamed pipes is usually used for resolving this problem. For instance
apache used rotatelog, and syslogd used fifo created by mkfifo.
If we want to use this method in wu-ftpd, we mast open xferlog file
in non-blocked mode and process EAGAIN write-error.
This patch resolve this problem. When xferlog is opened to pipe (for
example created by mkfifo) it open in non-blocked mode and wheh
write-error EAGAIN raised wu-ftpd write message to syslog.
The diffirence from apache and syslogd is that You do not need to use
special prefix for file-name, this patch detect type of file
automatically.
If You want I can send small rotatelog daemon (for ALL daemons) to You :).

Finally I make 2 small correction in makefile.lnx,- when You translate
wu-ftpd not for RedHat, but for Slackware linux.

Another idea I've been considering.

I'll may change your ftpaccess syntax for both of these to better fit with
other things I'm thinking about.

Thanks, I already have such a daemon which I use extensively. I also have
patches to syslogd and a replacement for Apache's rotatelog which I use to
rotate files at exactly midnight, local time, without any signals or
having to stop and restart any services. I'd be happy to take a look at
what you've done, however.

I have to agree the way Redhat (and, I presume, a number of other Unix
systems) handles log rotation leaves a lot to be desired.

I'll take a look at all your patches, probably clean them up a bit, and
submit them to the WU-FTPD Development Group.

[David Stringer]
All of our NIS entries point to /export/home/Username.
Guestroot is supposed to be examing /export/home/etc/passwd for
directories. Fine I understand this but this doesn't work well for us
because maintaining two passwd files is impractical for 100,000+ users.
Somewhere guestgroup/guest-root/restriced-id is grabbing the users directory
from NIS plus, and since the NIS entries have export/home I created the soft
links so it would look like this: /export/home/export/home/Username and lock
them in their appropiate directory.

Something strange is going on here. I have been unable to get the
/export/home/etc/passwd file to work properly.

[David Stringer]
Yes I understand this. So if I read this properly, the workable
options are:
1. Use the guestgroup/passwd file hack
(/export/home/./export/home/username)
2. Create another passwd file for all guest users
(/export/home/etc/passwd)

First off, I handle the problem by hacking my useradd / userdel scripts to
create / delete the FTP passwd and group file entries when it does the
main system passwd / group files.

I could see an argument for not requiring the FTP-local passwd/group
files. It would take some syntax in the ftpaccess file to tell the daemon
when it sees guest-root to use the system /etc/passwd file to locate the
user's home directory and strip the guest-root directory from the front of
it.

Without an FTP-local passwd file some things will break:

- No usernames or group names when doing 'ls'
- No ~ globbing for CWD, etc.

I'd have to think about other ramifications of not having an FTP-local
passwd or group file.

Since none of the problems (that I've thought of) would prevent normal
operation of the daemon in all other respects, if you ask and are willing
to wait a week or so for me to get 'round to it, I could do up a patch for
you.

That's not VR17. That's Beta-17. You don't want it; it's too insecure.

Probably it's just called 'ftpd'.

Any idea where I would find configuration information that shows how to
setup additional anonymous userids (and individual home directories) other
than the deafults (ftp & anonymous)?

Thanks

Kent Landfield runs the WU-FTPD Resource Center at
http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd

Follow the link to the documentation page, and you'll see a number of useful
links including the FAQ, Solaris 2.5 How-To, Guest Account How-To, Virtual
Servers etc..

As far as I know the daemon only supports a single anonymous account on any
one site at a time, so you may be out of luck. But you may be able to set
up multiple virtual servers, each with it's own anonymous account - if this
meets your needs.

Or you might be able to get by using guest accounts - but in this case the
people logging in will have to supply passwords (unlike true anonymous
accounts), since these are real accounts. However, each guest account should
be chrooted to its own area if the system is set up correctly.

Since I don't use virtual servers or guest accounts myself I can't do much
more than point you at the relevant documentation, though.

Good luck !

Cheers, Bob

Subject: upload denied after wu-ftpd upgrade - but config says permitted - confused
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

Hi,

I'm new to this list. I've already checked the list archive, the FAQ and
all docs in the source. Hopefully that means I've rtfm'd enough before
asking :)

Having upgraded wu-ftpd to 2.4.2-vr16 on a Solaris 2.5.1 system, I've found
that the following no longer work:
* anonymous upload to pub/incoming
* display unwelcome.msg file at login
* display .message file when changing directory

These are controlled by the ftpaccess file. The obvious solution is
"you don't have an ftpaccess file" --- but I do and it's in the right place.
My ftpaccess file hasn't changed and (if the FAQ, docs and web pages are to
be believed) the format for the file hasn't changed either. Just to be sure,
I diff'd it with the example file in the docs directory - same format.

I've since upgraded to 2.4.2-vr17 and have the same problem.

With the vr17 upgrade, I started with a new ~ftp and followed all documented
instructions, including those in the upload.configuration.HOWTO file.

The problem persists.

I've checked:

* ftpaccess file exists and is where ftpd looks for it
-rw-r--r-- root other /opt/local/etc/ftpaccess

* directives for displaying messages on login and cd are present
message /unwelcome.msg LOGIN
message .message CWD=*

* format for these directives hasn't changed. ie checked
- README and INSTALL files
- man pages in wu-ftpd-2.4.2-vr16/doc/
- example files in wu-ftpd-2.4.2-vr16/doc/examples
- FAQ and all web sites listed in README file
- list archive

* message files required by display directives (above) exist
in the expected location and are non-empty
-r--r--r-- root sys 710 /export/home/ftp/unwelcome.msg
-r--r--r-- ftpadmin ftpadmin 398 /export/home/ftp/pub/incoming/.message

* upload directive gives permission to write to /pub/incoming
and the directory exists and has appropriate permissions
upload /home/ftp * no
upload /home/ftp /pub/incoming yes ftpadmin ftpadmin 3773 nodirs

* format for the upload directive hasn't changed. checklist as above

* /var/log/syslog logs everything from debug level up but doesn't list
any errors.

What the user sees:

ftp> cd /pub/incoming
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> put filename
227 Entering Passive Mode (X,X,X,X,227,229)
553 filename: Permission denied. (Upload)
ftp> quit
221-You have transferred 0 bytes in 0 files.
221-Total traffic for this session was 548 bytes in 0 transfers.

(X,X,X,X replaces IP address of ftp server)

/var/log/syslog and /var/adm/messages aren't showing any errors.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Catherine.

hi,

On my solaris server i configured wuftpd with the option "-r/file/ftp"
in inetd.conf in order to have a chrooted environment for everyone. The
chroot is done just after the parse of the ftpaccess file. Therefore
even the authentication is done after the chroot : this is a simple way
to manage the ftp users in different files than /etc/passwd, etc. (our
ftp users should be created dynamically by a cgi-bin).
But whith the chroot comes my problem : it seems that ftpd can't
communicate with syslog and i see the following errors :

open("/etc/.syslog_door", O_RDONLY) Err#2 ENOENT

So there is my question : is there a way to had such a door in a
chrooted environment ? I don't know much about doors on Solaris.
The same problem occurs for name resolution (/etc/.name_service_door).
Maybe there is a way to make ftpd use another facility than syslog ?

Thanks

Charles Bruneteau

I use one of two approaches depending upon what I need to do on the
machine.

- Hard link (ln) the syslog file from the real system to the chroot. On
Linux, this is /dev/log and it gets recreated every time the syslog
daemon starts or is restarted (via -HUP, say, for log rotation). I do
this for short-term execution such as FTP.

- Run a copy of syslogd in the same chroot'd area. This fixes the
hardlink being de-linked problem but costs a process. It's what I
usually do, though, when running a standalone daemon.

I'm doing logging across a chrooted environment successfully in Solaris
2.5.1 and Solaris 2.6. I haven't tested Solaris 2.7 yet. Releases prior
to that did NOT/does NOT work. Charles, you failed to mention which
version of Solaris you are working on. If you are still on a 2.5 or
earlier, please upgrade and I think your syslog can work across the
chroot. If you still have problems, let me know and I will share with you
some of the chroot envronment setup.

I'm having problem with wu-ftpd VR17 on AIX 4.3.2,

the ftpd process seem to crash whenever I'm listing a file with a name
bigger then 23 chars, as illustrated by the following:

Script command is started on Tue May 4 17:21:54 IDT 1999.
(MaX)//tmp>ftp ftp
Connected to max.ibm.net.il.
220 MaX.ibm.net.il FTP server ready.

331 Password required for httplogs.

230 User httplogs logged in. Access restrictions apply.
ftp> cd /apache
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> dir searchbymedia-access_lo
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
-rw------- 1 0 12 6818040 May 4 1999 searchbymedia-access_lo
226 Transfer complete.
ftp> dir searchbymedia-access_log
200 PORT command successful.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
ftp> quit
Script command is complete on Tue May 4 17:22:25 IDT 1999.

1. can this be reproduced by someone?
2. Can anyone suggest a fix?

thanks,

--Asher

Ted, this is Solaris 2.6.

I didn't add anything for syslog in my chroot environment since i have not try
to chroot a syslog. I can't figure how to link a door on Solaris. Therefore i
guess that the only solution is to chroot a syslog ?

Gregory, have you never thouht about allowing to use another facility than
syslog (as for xfrlog) ?

Thanks

Charles

Gregory:

Our current version of wu-ftp-2.4(9) does exactly what you mention below.
There is a guestroot (not guest-root) command that will do a chroot, and
grab the system etc/passwd information and strip out the guestroot part of
the path. I don't know if this was a modification that someone did here, or
if it was in the ftp sources already and never documented.

If you could make a patch to the current version that would accomplish this
I would be very grateful.

Thanks,
David Stringer

Code snippet from out current version of wu-ftp:

if (anonymous || guest) {
/* We MUST do a chdir() after the chroot. Otherwise the old current
* directory will be accessible as "." outside the new root! */
if (anonymous) {
if (chroot(pw->pw_dir) < 0 || chdir("/") < 0) {
reply(550, "Can't set guest privileges.");
goto bad;
}
} else if (guest) {
char *sp;
char cdir[256];
char rdir[256];

/* determine root and home directory */

getaclentry("guestroot", &entry);
syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"guestroot: %s",ARG0);
syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"pw dir: %s",pw->pw_dir);
if ((sp = strstr(pw->pw_dir, ARG0)) == NULL) {
syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"oops");
if (chroot(pw->pw_dir) < 0 || chdir("/") < 0) {
reply(550, "Can't set guest privileges.");
goto bad;
}
} else {
sp += strlen(ARG0);
*sp = '\0';
++sp;
strcpy(cdir,"/");
strcat(cdir,sp);
strcpy(rdir,pw->pw_dir);
strcat(rdir,"/");
syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"chdir : %s",cdir);
syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"chroot dir: %s",rdir);

if (chroot(rdir) < 0 || chdir(cdir) < 0) {
reply(550, "Can't set guest privileges.");
goto bad;
}
}
}
} else {
if (chdir(pw->pw_dir) < 0) {
if (chdir("/") < 0) {
reply(530, "User %s: can't change directory to %s.",
pw->pw_name, pw->pw_dir);
goto bad;
} else
lreply(230, "No directory! Logging in with home=/");
}

That's a local mod someone did your your site. It's along the lines of
what I was thinking. Right now I have higher-priority work, it'll be a
few days (maybe a week) until I can get to this.

Turn on command logging and see which command was issued for the client's
"dir" command. Also, you might want to check out telnet.testing.HOWTO at
ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/

Nobody has reported problems like you're seeing. I'd check the build and
libraries used. Maybe look for vendor patches.

Knowing the exact sequence of commands and the errors logged, if any, will
help a lot.

I am in the midst of setting up our first Fftp server with the help of the useful "guest accounts" Howto page.
I have unpacked wu-ftpd.2.4.2 onto our Solaris 2.6 server and after making the successful additions to the required files and directories, I am still unable to determine where I need to "compile" the ftpd in order for the ftpaccess file to be read along with any other necessary files.
I have read other sites' "compiling" tricks with no results. ie. build arch.
Would someone be so kind as to point me in the correct direction?

/build sol
should do you

But if I were you, I'd punt and get the prebuilt Solaris package from
ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/binaries/sun/solaris/

There's Solaris-specpifc instructions there, and other documentation atthe
primary site:

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

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

the file descriptor 3 is /dev/conslog.

The server only crashes if it uses PAM. I mean that a server compiled without
USE_PAM doesn't crash.
With PAM, but without /dev/conslog there is no more crash... but no more logs.

Then i tried with /dev/conslog and a server compiled without PAM, and with no
chrooted syslogd (but with the system syslogd): i can see the command and
security logs...

So i don't understand how syslog runs and how process can log messages betwen
the door /etc/.syslog_door and the devices /dev/log & /dev/conslog ? I guess
that i only need /dev/*log, but no chrooted syslogd. Now there 's still the
problem with PAM.

Any explications ?

Hello,

In my /ets/ftpaccess file, I have the following line:

limit anonymous 10 any /etc/ftp.msg.dead

obviously with the file /etc/ftp.msg.dead created and with the "came
back later" message.

The problem is that when I'm doing an anonymous ftp to my server, the
message I got is:
You are user #x from -1 allowed

-1 as for unlimited connections, where I just want 10.

the -1 is taken with %M variable and x from %N

Thank you for any help....

Marcel

^^^^^^^^^

do you have a line starting with "class anonymous "? No? Then there is
no class 'anonymous' so this line has no effect.

What version have you upgraded from ? The older versions of wu-ftpd used
the ftpaccess file by default, but this changed a while back, so that now
you have to specify the "-a" option on the command line in inetd.conf which
starts it. If you don't have this option it might explain some of the
problems you're seeing.

For the passive mode problem, check the permissions on the files under the
~ftp/dev directory. Under Solaris, tcp (and possibly others) need to be
open to the world for writing in order for passive mode to work correctly.
Check the settings on the copies of these files in real /dev directory and
make sure your copies under the FTP root match. Here are mine (although
your values may vary depending on which version of the OS you are using) :-

% ls -l ~ftp/dev
total 0
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

I hope this helps; if it doesn't, try checking out Darci Chapman's Solaris 2.5
How-To file at
http://www.wildheart.org/wu-ftpd/
which is also obtainable via Kent landfield's WU-FTPD Resource Center at

Hello,

I'm running a small network at my home, consisting of a win98 machine and a
Debian Linux macihne w/ 2.4.2beta16 of wu-ftpd.

I'd like to get some files that I uploaded to the linux machine, but it
seems that when I connect to it from the win98 machine, I an get only a
tiny bit of thefile (around .5meg of 5 megs)...the initial part of the
transfer is fast, aboutn 2Mbit/s, but after maybe one second, the transfer
halts, and the DL speed slows down to maybe 30Kbytes/second until the file
transfer finishes.

Uploads are no problem, reaching and statying t full speed throughout the
whole thing....

Of course NFS would probably be a little bit easier for this sort of thing,
but I don't have time to learn how to set it up (still a newbie)

any help would be appreciated :)

First, rm umask and chmod from ~ftp/bin .. you _really_ do not want them
there.

What I'm referring to here is to use the umask option on the commnad line
when starting the FTP daemon, or upgrade to VR17 and use the filemode
option on the upload statement in your ftpaccess file.

In answer to your specific question here, though:

umask and chmod are built-in commands handled by the daemon. You don't
need any external commands to support them. Since these commands are NOT
part of the FTP protocol, they are executed using the SITE command. A lot
of clients do not allow sending random commands to the server without a
special local command. For instance, on my Linux box, using the classic
BSD FTP client, I need to use the quote command. So I could set my umask
for an FTP session using the following command:
quote site umask 037
or chmod an existing file
quote site chmod 644 myfile

Hi!

I have a strange problem. I have VR17 running without problems. But for
certain clients, connects are impossible (they time out befor the Server
sends the '220 FTP Server ready').

The same clients do not have this problem with a very old wu-ftpd
(plain beta 18 I think).

I made tcpdump's of connection negotiation with the old wu-ftpd and with
the VR 17 wu-ftpd. If someone could enlighten me please...

Because of formatting problems in email, I put them on the web:

http://www.citrin.ch/wuftpd/tcpdump.html

Cheers,
Patrick

Your clients are not responding to RFC 931 AUTH (identd) packets. The
timeouts are so short on the clients, they're not waiting for the AUTH
timeout to pass.

The correct solution is to have the client respond somehow to the AUTH
packets. ICMP service not available responses would do fine if the client
cannot or does not want to run identd.

You could recompile the daemon without AUTH by changing the #define
USE_RFC931 to #undef. Remember, if you do this, your site's security may
be lessened.

The daemon is set up so it compiles with the files where they're normally
located on your system.

To change the selection, since you're using one of the known
organizations, edit src/config/config.<os> (for me on Linux,
src/config/config.lnx) and change the line reading

#define USE_ETC

to read

#define USE_LOCAL_ETC

Then do a 'build clean' and 'build <os>' to recompile the daemon with the
new pathnames. run the new ckconfig to be sure it's happy then try the
daemon.

I checked this after I had some trouble configuring uploads (solved
inadvertently by one of your recent posts). You're right, it's all there
but it may help to modify:

Notice the target directory for the uploads is relative to the view the
user will have during the FTP session.

to:

Notice the target directory for the uploads is relative to the view the
user will have during the FTP session (i.e. relative to the chroot).

I think the clarification is needed because my implementation uses path
names that overlap slightly in the upload clauses.

(e.g. upload /home/ftp/joeblow /joeblow/incoming yes......).

It was also not obvious to me that I needed the (relative) home directly
defined correctly in the ~ftp/etc/passwd file for this to work.

I've also just determined experimentally that, unlike noretrieve,
allow-retrieve does not allow wildcards in the filename. If this is
true, it's not made clear in the man entry.

Cheers,

Steve

Uh .. that's a bug. I'll take a look at it RSN.

Hello,
I recently upgraded my RedHat Linux 5.2 to version 6.0 and now I have
problems with the ftpwho command. When I execute this command it shows
me no details but this:

Service class local:
- 0 users ( 5 maximum)
Service class remote:
1 ? S 0:03 init [3]
1 ? S 0:03 init [3]
1 ? S 0:03 init [3]
1 ? S 0:03 init [3]
1 ? S 0:03 init [3]

Hi,

would be fine to know what exactly caused the problem and
what has been your fix, that may help others to learn from it.
Any feedback?

Have a nice day

Hello,
in fact I scrolled down the WU-FTPD mailing archive and found several
article about this error.

For example:
Gregory A. Lundberg wrote:
"I use ps and grep:

ps axwww | grep ftpd

Redhat has a patch which adds this kind of capabililty to their RPM
version. I'll probably be including their patch in a future version of
the server"

I will search for this patch and try it out, but for the moment the
above command will do the same.

Hope it helps.

Ralf

Looks like an old pid file laying about. Check in /var/run for ftp pid
files and delete 'em all.

If that doesn't help, you might try upgrading to VR17. I have GNU libc 6
patches available if you need them.

Redhat's patch is in the SRPM. It's buggy. I fixed it when I included it
in VR17

dircom needs to be EXPLICITLY a member of the guestgroup. In /etc/group
ftponly::103:dircom

Making a user an implicit member (in /etc/passwd) won't cut it. Yes,
this sucks. Yes, it'll be fixed .. someday.

Other than that, I'd suggest reading the caveates at the end of
upload.configuration.HOWTo at ftp://ftp.vr.net/ for comments about
wildcards the way you're using them.

Hi,
deleting the ftp pid files doesn�t help. May I ask for the patches ?
Thank you

Does this only apply under Solaris? Under Linux 2.0.36/wu-ftpd
2.4.2-vr17, I have nominal behaviour with the explicit group member
definition. I do however have the ~ftp/etc/passwd file correctly set up
with relative home directories (and a guest-root command in ftpaccess).

Sorry - major typo. That should read "without the explicit group member
definition".

Using VR17, if you use guestuser instead of guestgroup you don't need to
have the group membership at all. guestuser works on the username/uid
rather than group membership.

The guest-root clause simply provides a means of specifying the chroot
point for a selected user or range of users; bypassing and elimnating the
need for the /./ hack in /etc/passwd.

Because of the way the daemon works internally, the ~ftp/etc/passwd file
(where ~ftp means 'the chroot point') needs to be set up correctly. This
not only effects the initial cwd (when you use guest-root), but the
operation of the ~<username> globbing and the restricted-{uid|gid}
features.

RE: FTP anonymous account structure

I created home for ~ftp anonymous user with all required directories and it
works fine. No problems, what so ever.

However, when I deleted ALL libraries from ~ftp/usr/lib and I deleted all
files from ~ftp/dev/ and I remove the /usr directory the anonymous account
is still working.... I can get any file I want with no errors and ~ftp is
seen as a '/'.

Can somebody give me the short explanation why is that happening ? Why all
the /usr/lib are needed in ~ftp directory?

Basically I screwed the whole ~ftp directory and anonymous is working the
way it worked before.

..Magda

The daemon itself does not care about that stuff. this includes the
built-in NLST command.

**BUT** to list the directory contents (LIST command) the daemon needs to
run the external program ~ftp/bin/ls. Now, on a lot of systems, you need
a lot of other stuff besides just the program file to make it all work.
At a minimum, though, you need bin/ls etc/passwd etc/group and dev/null.

Hi all,

I've installed the pre-built binary for gcc-2.8.1 from freeware.sgi.com,
and I'm still having the same problem.

When I build normally with "./build CC=/usr/freeware/bin/gcc sgi" I get
only warnings: "ld: WARNING 84: ../support/libsupport.a is not used for
resolving any symbol."

When I build it with the -DVIRTUAL flag as explained in
VIRTUAL.FTP.SUPPORT distributed with the source, I get fatal errors.

NOTES:
error 1: there *is* authuser.h in support
errors 2 & 3: how can I tell *which* file or directory it is
complaining about?

/build CC=/usr/freeware/bin/gcc CFLAGS="-DVIRTUAL" sgi

Gregory,
Thank you for explanation about minimum requirements of ~ftp home directory.
Now I have a better understanding of it.
I heard from others that old versions of wu-ftp didn't have features
built-in and they had to copy all the directories to ~ftp anonymous account,
including certain libraries and /dev, /etc.

Talking about minimum, I don't keep /etc/group, /etc/passwd in ~ftp
anonymous account.
And I can log on as anonymous and as ftpusers (guests). I don't know how it
works?

I deleted ~ftp/bin/ls program from my ~ftp directory and ls command is
still working.
However, ls -ls, ls -al or any ls with flag is not working. Just a basic ls
is probably build in, as you explained: "daemon itself does not care about
that stuff. this includes the built-in NLST command".

ls command:
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
script_slowaris
littletime
county
incoming
mnh_usr
226 Transfer complete.
52 bytes received in 0.019 seconds (2.71 Kbytes/s)

ls -al command doesn't show anything: ( I don't have ~ftp/bin/ls)
ftp> ls -a
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete.

The daemon itself does not care about that stuff. this includes the
built-in NLST command.

**BUT** to list the directory contents (LIST command) the daemon needs to
run the external program ~ftp/bin/ls. Now, on a lot of systems, you need
a lot of other stuff besides just the program file to make it all work.
At a minimum, though, you need bin/ls etc/passwd etc/group and dev/null.

Hello,

After upgrading FTP Server the FTP Configuration Files under /usr/local/etc
where not upgrades. ftpaccess, ftphosts and others stay as form from Oct
1998.
Shouldn't they be copied to *-old files?

example:

Login is not effected by any files in the chroot'd area (~ftp, for
example).

This was NLST. It's built into the daemon. Originally it was the only
way to get a Name LiST.

This was LIST. Your client chose it because you gave a filename parameter
(-a was taken as a filename, not an option, by the client .. NLST does not
allow filenames). The daemon tried to run ~ftp/bin/ls. Since there was
no program to run no output was generated. BTW, even though the client
thought it was asking for a LIST of files named '-a' the daemon looks for
the leading - as a special case and interprets it as an option since
that's probably what you meant.

Case in point why I don't use 'make install' but by-hand copy the files
into place.

I have installed wu-ftpd VR17 on an old AIX box (3.2) and a DU
machine. Everything works fine on DU but I do not understand
why. Uploads do not work to the anon area on AIX and I do not
understand why. I have been studying the recent messages and
I am puzzled.

On DU I have this ftpaccess file:-

class users real *
class ftponly anonymous *
limit ftponly 10 Any /usr/local/lib/ftpd/msg.dead
limit users 10 Any /usr/local/lib/ftpd/msg.dead
readme README* login ftponly
readme README* cwd=* ftponly
message /welcome.msg login ftponly
message .message cwd=*
compress no local remote
tar no local remote
log commands real
log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound
shutdown /etc/shutmsg
noretrieve /etc/passwd /etc/group core welcome.msg .message .notar
noretrieve /usr/users/ftp/pub/incoming/
upload /usr/users/ftp * no
upload /usr/users/ftp /pub/atomichf no
upload /usr/users/ftp /pub/src no
upload absolute /usr/users/ftp /pub/incoming yes b_duke users 0440 nodirs
upload absolute /usr/users/ftp /pub/antih yes j_mitroy users 0440 nodirs

This works, but my reading of the man page and the recent posts here
say it should not. The line 2 from botton "upload .. incoming"
does not have an absolute path - pub is below /usr/users/ftp.
If I remove absolute it works as absolute is default. If I replace
absolute by relative, it does not work, yet surely this is a relative
address.

The AIX ftpaccess is the same down to the uploads:-

upload /home/ftp * no
upload absolute /home/ftp /pub/incoming yes b_duke staff 0440 nodirs

This does not work and no variations on it work. uploads are OK into
real users areas but not anonymous.

Anyone have any ideas?

I possible problem that I reported on a couple of weeks ago was
that on compiling it had a block in authusers.c and ftpd.c
that is:-

#ifdef AIX
#include <netinet/if_ether.h>
#include <net/if_dl.h>
#endif

The first *.h gave errors and the 2nd I do not have on my machine.
I presume they are AIX4 not AIX3. I commented them out and it compiled
fine. Has this come back to haunt me?

Cheers, Brian.

Sorry, I got myself confused. The absolute|relative bit applies to the
first path component (rootdir in the manpage but actually homedir); not to
the second (dirglob).

Check the homedirectory entry for user 'ftp' in /etc/passwd .. it should
be exactly '/home/ftp'. Also check it in /home/ftp/etc/passwd where it
should be just '/'

Maybe. Put the first back in and send over the errors you got along with
the system's include file. I wanna ponder em.

I've installed the latest (vr17) as a successful login banner implies
foo FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-VR17(1) Fri Mar 26 10:39:01 PST 1999) ready.

and it functions well pertaining to file transfers, logging to xferlog, errors to syslog, etc

but why doesn't it read any of the banner messages as before. If all the config files are located in /usr/local/etc/ and the banner, 'too many' etc in /usr/local/etc/msgs, is there a command line switch to invoke these. At the end of a session, all that comes up is this:

221-Thank you for using the FTP service on foo

Login is not effected by any files in the chroot'd area (~ftp, for
example).

This was NLST. It's built into the daemon. Originally it was the only
way to get a Name LiST.

This was LIST. Your client chose it because you gave a filename parameter
(-a was taken as a filename, not an option, by the client .. NLST does not
allow filenames). The daemon tried to run ~ftp/bin/ls. Since there was
no program to run no output was generated. BTW, even though the client
thought it was asking for a LIST of files named '-a' the daemon looks for
the leading - as a special case and interprets it as an option since
that's probably what you meant.

The rules for where messages are located haven't changed so I'm guessing
you've changed something along the way (like switched real users over to
be guests).

Here's the rules as I understand them. All I can say is they pretty well
show how odd things can get after a decade of hodge-pudge development.

deny
----
<message_file> is system-root based; it is accessed before classification
of the user (when the chroot occurs).

limit
-----
<message_file> needs to be in each chroot-area for the classes being
limited. Obviously it is accessed after classification of the user, so
the daemon will have already chroot'd.

banner
------
<path> is system-root based; it is accessed before classification of the
user.

message
-------
<path> needs to be in each chroot-area for the classes receiving the
message. If no classes are specified, it needs to be EVERYWHERE. I avoid
the problem by considering 'message' a per-user message and not a
broadcast to all users.

readme
------
<path> needs to be in each chroot-area for the classes receiving the
notification. If no classes are specified, it needs to be EVERYWHERE. I
avoid the problem by considering 'readme' a per-directory notification and
not a broadcast to all users across all directories.

alias
-----
<dir> is always relative to the chroot-area; rendering this feature
virtually useless for guest users.

cdpath
------
<dir> is always relative to the chroot-area; rendering this feature
virtually useless for guest users.

shutdown
--------
<path> needs to be in _every_ chroot'd area. The <path> most people use
is in the system-root (/) and only works for real users. Kent says he's
got a replacement for ftpshut at the resource center which handles putting
the <path> into each chroot'd area that you might find .. never tried it;
I consider ftpshut unusable.

virtual
-------
banner <path> is relative to root <path>.

path-filter
-----------
<mesg> needs to be in *EVERY* chroot-area. I usually ignore that and
specify <mesg> as /dev/null or some file I know won't exist.

> 221-Thank you for using the FTP service on foo

If it just chopps off after this point, I'd look for system problems. My
first guess would be a TCP problem where the system failes to send the
remaining buffered text when the socket is closed. What system are you
using? Go to the vendor's site and see if there's a more-current version
or patches for the version you're running.

I just install Redhat 6.0, wu-ftp seems to have a globbing problem. ls
works great unless you trie to use an * then you get nothing at all.
Thank You.

A bit more description of the problem would be good. Where are you trying
to use a *?

I hadn't noticed this, but just reproduced it on a Red Hat 6.0 upgraded box.

This _is_ a FAQ.

You are missing bin/ls, a library (in lib) and, most definitely missing
devices (dev/null is required on all installs, in all chroot areas).

Read the Guest HOWTO and follow the instructions.

No...I'm not missing any of the bins or libs. I've never had/missed /dev

ash is in bin only because I just put it there so I could
/usr/sbin/chroot /home/ftp /bin/ash
and then play around in the chroot area making sure the bins there
do work...and they do. Red Hat 5.2 has the same dir structure/permissions
(just older bins and libs) and works fine. I strongly suspect whoever
packaged wu-ftpd-2.4.2vr17-3 at Red Hat botched something in the config.

I'm not using guestgroup. This is just a totally stock Red Hat
installed wu-ftpd using regular anonymous FTP.

Never missed is the right wording. trust me, you need /dev/null for
everything to work properly (well, better, I'm still tracking down one
thing I don't like with the way on-the-fly tar+gzip is working).

>From what you're saying, I suppose Redhat 6.0 has a new library, and
you're missing it in the guest-user chroot area.

It's a simple test:

Does 'ls' work from the command line for a non-root user? If so, then
you're missing something (on Redhat, probably a library) in the chroot
area.

The Guest HOWTO has a test command su runs to test the installation of
'ls' in the chroot area. Does it work?

No, use ldd to see what libraries are directly referenced. Are they all
there?

Is so, then you need to take a look at other libraries which may be on-
the-fly loaded. PAM and some of the BIND/Resovler libraries, for
instance, are not found using ldd, but are required by some programs all
the same. Which ones might Redhat 6.0's ls command be using? Beats me.

Oh, and are you using symlinks? If so, there's your problem. Symlinks
won't work if they point outside the chroot'd area. Use hardlinks,
loopback mounts, or copies.

If all else fails, scrog the lot (ls/tar/gzip/compress/md5sum/cksum, and
all libraries), build statically-linked versions of them, and use them
instead.

An example of a minimal system (which _does_ work on Linux), using
statically linked helpers in ~ftp/bin, is laid out at
ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/examples

Statically linked helpers for Linux are at
ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/binaries/intel/linux/ftp.bin.linux.i386.tar.gz

Yes. If I suid the ash to my uid, I can chroot myself in /home/ftp and
run ls as myself (not root) and it works.

Haven't looked at the Guest HOWTO recently. After my own tests, I'm
relatively convinced /home/ftp/bin/ls works properly for non-root users
when chrooted in /home/ftp/.

# ldd ./ls
/lib/libNoVersion.so.1 => /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 (0x40014000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001c000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

I've never heard of libNoVersion. All the /home/ftp/bin stuff in 6.0 uses
it...but it doesn't exist. Perhaps that's got something to do with
it...but its odd that the programs work when I chroot there and run them.

> Oh, and are you using symlinks? If so, there's your problem. Symlinks

No symlinks except for zcat -> gzip. This is a standard Red Hat
installation. It looks like they just screwed up the wu-ftpd package and
will probably issue an update sometime soon. For me, this isn't a huge
issue. I'm not using RH 6.0 on production servers yet. I like to wait a
few weeks after new releases and see how much stuff they broke and then
either wait for the updates or use the source.

I just noticed another really wierd thing. For some reason the anonftp
package on Red Hat (at least 5.2 and 6.0) that includes the libs and bins
needed for wu-ftpd to work for anonymous FTP includes what seems to be a
copy of /bin/ash as /home/ftp/bin/sh. Why the heck would they include a
bourne shell in the anon bin directory?

Maybe. Never heard of it either.

I've seen something like what you're seeing before when my library
in-memorg cache got out-of-sync. I don't put the lib cache stuff in my
chroot areas and everybody's happy. Maybe it's not a missing lib, but a
bad lib version or linkage caused by crossing chroot boundaries with
cached information.

Never played with anonftp but on first blush I say "Uh, yeah .. that's a

I am running the Version wu-2.4.2-academ release on Solaris7 with anonymous
and guest users configured.

I have a problem where I can no longer see files in the anonymous area, but,
guest directories are ok using either an ftp client or web browser on our
internal network. Also external users with a browser cannot see the anonymous
directories but, if using a client ftp they are able to see the contents.

Permissions and ownership look correct.

Suggestions??

Thanks,

Mike

Sounds like a missing library or device file. This is a FAQ.

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

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

I am following the how-to instruction to compile wuftp VR17 (./build sol)
using a c++ compiler that
I just loaded, but I get the following error: language optional software
package not installed
"error code 1"
make:fatal error: command failed for target ftpd.o

Any clue??

Thank you.

Mike,
I learned something recently about this. I habitually use 'ls' from my
unix ftp client, and it's been working wonderfully. Thought I had
wu-ftpd set up properly. Then, discovered that from a PC (browser or
ws-ftp) no listings! It turns out that 'ls' uses a builtin nlist
function, while 'DIR' as emitted by the other clients, forks a copy of
/bin/ls. I had a broken /bin/ls; the fix is right there in the FAQ. You
learn something new every day.

I am installing the current version of the vr version of wu-ftpd. My
understanding is it is a drop in replacement with a few potential gotyea.
Is there is a list of the things I need to double check somewhere?
thanks

Are you sure? On a Red Hat 5.2 system I just tested, wu-ftpd has no
problem with a command like "dir patch*" even after I did a "chmod 000 sh"

No...but it means if they find a buffer overflow, there's a nice /bin/sh
to exec in the chroot area. So far, I've found no compelling reason for
/home/ftp/bin/sh to exist.

Solaris does not come with cc by default, you have to buy it or use gcc.
I compiled the daemon on Solaris with gcc and it works fine.

Hi. I'm aware that this _is_ addressed in the FAQ, but my problem seems
to be unique. What is occuring is that when I try to LIST (~ftp/bin/ls)
files as the user 'anonymous', no files appear to be there, but I can
still make use of the other commands which prove that the files do
exist. The file ~ftp/bin/ls does exist, 755, and statically linked
[ln(1)]. I also have the libs that ldd return in ~ftp/lib, and still no
results. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks.

The FIXES directory contains all the changes made. Read _ALL_ the VR
fixes for differences from 2.4.2 to 2.4.2-VR17

The gotchas are usually because the uploads you thought worked, didn't,
and that will be much more apprearent on VR17.

No idea. there's a know problem in 'make install' where the test for
directory existance in -e instead of -d but that's not what it looks like
happened here.

I'd suggest using an ANSI C compiler since the daemon is not a C++
program. Although the message you posted is cryptic enough that anything
would be a quess.

emitted --> typed by users. LIST and NLST are emitted

ls vs dir --> which is LIST and which NLST, or when the client chooses one
over the other is different from client to client.

Yes, it's a FAQ. Without knowing your system it's hard to guess what's
missing but you're missing _something_.

On Linux, for instance, ldd isn't very accurate. If the application loads
a library on-the-fly (like Apache DSO, PAM or some of the resolver
libraries) ldd won't know about them.

On other systems, you're probably missing a device file.

All this is covered extensively in the FAQ and your problem is NOT unique
in any way.

Filename globbing works fine in WU-FTPD so you have something else wrong.

I have recently been getting complaints from clients that use my ftp system.
They are noting to me that the ftp will upload great but then have frequent
stops. They had to stop there download, disconnect and then continue agian.
I thought maybe the server was over loaded but thats not the case. Any
thing you guys can think of?

It means its not finding the complier. That error indicates that
its using /usr/ucb/cc (I think) which if you cat is a shell script doing an
echo. Make sure the compiler is in the path then "./build CC=CC sol" might
work. (Or CC=???? where ???? is the compiler name, like g++)

I had looked for the answer in the FAQs regarding the device and library files
and they were present. I had not checked their permissions though.

What happened was a clean-up script that runs in cron had been originally setup
on AIX and I have switched to a Sparc running Solaris. The cron script had been
set to chmod lib dir files to 444 but on Solaris they need to be 555.

Thanks Jim and Gregory.

Sounds like a dialup problem.

I'd take a look at MTU, idle timeouts, retry intervals and such. If the
client is a Windows 95 box, I'd check to see if it has the kernel IP
patches available from www.microsoft.com .. I'd also take a look at which
client software packages are having problems.

If the clients are connected via dialup to a remote server and the traffic
is going through routers it's probable that the stoppage is normal network
delays and failures. I'd expect problems downloading at the same time,
though, so this may not be the problem.

On the server side: The server itself simply pumps the data into the
socket as fast as the kernel will allow. So it's possible there are bugs
in the kernel (look for vendor patches), configuration problems (say, NFS
or something) or hardware failures (look for bad Ethernet cards, wires and
hubs). Basically, though, if it's only uploads (and the clients are doing
downloads as well), I'd say it's not the server.

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 have set up gzip, gtar etc for taring and compressing on the fly
and it works well, except that when I gzcat a dir.tar.gz after
downloading it from the frp server, it tells me "trailing garbage
ignored". This happens on a Digital Unix machine compiling the
static gzip that compresses the directory with both DU cc and gcc.

I looked at the archives and there are a couple of messages about
this in March 1998, but there does not seem to be a definitive
answer to the two questions - (1) are the resulting files OK,
and (2) how can remove this message. Does anyone have any ideas.

Cheers, Brian.

You need /dev/null to do away with the garbage preventing use of the file.

The result will then be clean, but will be blocked (at least on my Linux
systems) in 10K-byte blocks with trailing NULs. This can be fixed, but
I've never taken the time to deterine what tar option needs to go where in
ftpconversions to fix it. These trailing NULs should no effect the
usability of the tar.gz file (at least they don't for me .. I just don't
like the wasted space).

X-Mailer: AtDot 1.8.5
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

Hi,

I am not able to login in with this configuration.

The compile went smootly ( no warnings or errors ) (
i added -DSECUREOSF to IFLAGS and -lsecurity to LIBES
in src/makefiles/Makefile.du4 then a ./build du4 )

i then ran ./build install

mv'd in.ftpd to /usr/sbin/wu-ftpd

edited inetd.conf and kill -HUP'd it

tried to logon - it is like it is rejecting my password

i made the /usr/local/lib/ftpd dir and then copied the sample files there and tried
again with no differnce. i also tried it with the switch -a.

the logs (daemon.log) just indicates login failed.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

First guess, you're not running C2 .. try without SECUREOSF.

I have read many documents but still don't have a good idea why all
three
are used (BTW: upload.configuration.HOWTO was a big help ;)
I have also tried looking for these types of questions in FAQs and
throughout
this mailing list so if someone could just point me in the right
direction,
that would be great.

I guess I am a bit confused about the three group files within
wu-ftp (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-18]).

The three being:
/etc/group
/etc/ftpgroup
/home/ftp/etc/group

Are both of these files necessary /etc/group and /home/ftp/etc/group
or do you really only need one ?

Does the /home/ftp/etc/group file only work if "ftpadmin" owns
the files or directories (ie. Using the /home/ftp/etc/group file
can not allow group access rights to files "ftpadmin" does not own) ?

Is /home/ftp/etc/group only necessary if you don't have access to
/etc/group ???

My scenario,
file /etc/ftpgroup
test:password:archive
cnmtex:password:/var/ftp/cnmtex
cnmte:password:/var/ftp/pub/cnmte
rwasp:password:/var/ftp/pub/rwasp

What's the best way to set these passwords ??

How would user "ftp" use it ??
I tried a combination of...
$ ftp machine name
> quote site group cnmte
> quote site gpass password
530 Group access request incorrect

Any ideas ???
What I am really thinking is that I could have a single user "ftp"
login and after he/she logs in, "ftp" would not have access to
certain directories unless a "site group" is performed.
Is this possible or did I miss something...
I know I could do this with multiple accounts in /etc/passwd but then
don't know why there is a passwd in /etc/ftpgroup ??

Thanks a lot for your time,
Paul

/etc/group is used to determine group membership. this effects mainly
initgroups() and the guestgroup clause in your ftpaccess file.

~ftp/etc/group is mainly used to show group names instead of numbers for
NLST (~ftp/bin/ls).

/etc/ftpgroup is used by SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS to map ftp-only
special-access groups to Unix groups and assign passwords for the ftp-only
groups. Very, very few sites (read as: none) need this feature.

~ftp/etc should be at least a=x permissions.
~ftp/etc/passwd and ~fpt/etc/group should be at least a=r

> Is /home/ftp/etc/group only necessary if you don't have access to
> /etc/group ???

No. If you don't have access to /etc/group you cannot get initgroup()
functionality and the guestgroup feature won't work.

> quote site group cnmte
> quote site gpass password
> 530 Group access request incorrect

You need to read the man pages to properly format this file: it is not
formatted the same as /etc/group and ~ftp/etc/group. The privatepw
program is available from ftp.vr.net and the resource center; it allows
management of the passwords in /etc/ftpgroup.

I think all you need do is read the man pages and get privatepw. You're
on the right track for what you want to do without needing multiple
usernames/groups. Most sites, though, will find it a lot easier to use
multiple usernames/groups since it does not require special training for
the human-user and can be used directly from all clients (not all clients
allow SITE commands: most importantly, web browsers do not support it).

Don't read as: none - I find this feature very useful... :-)

I am running linux on a p2 333 with wu-ftp. When a user from any box on the
network attempts to establish a question the server attempts a connect but
gives no logon prompt. Any ideas?

Does anyone know of a good source for learning about all the commands used
in the /etc/ftpaccess file. The MAN page is decent but doesn't cover
everything. Thank you. Troy Wilson

Hi All,

If this information is well documented, please feel free to send me the FAQ
or a link to the appropriate Q&A Website....

(1) One of the ways we are using wu-ftp with a large number of user accounts
(on a webserver).
Is there any way that we can create user accounts without having
legitimate UNIX users?

(2) Is there any way to lock someone into a directory (i.e. luser1 is locked
into /luser/dirs/luser1, luser2 is locked into /luser/dirs/luser2, etc.)
without having to create the libs, etc, and other directories under each
user directory?

I work for a large isp and finally noticed that we use wuftp as our ftp
server. I was astonished by this. Wu ftp and large isp's. I also noticed
other large isp's using the same bit of software. If i was to have known
this earlier i wouldnt have fooled around with any other ftp server. YOU GO
WU FTP! Congratz.

The client side is probably mis-handling AUTH (identd) requests.

BeroFTPD supports (1). I do (1) in chroot'd areas before starting the
daemon. VR17 supports (2); Bernhard has not yet ported the feature into
BeroFTPD.

Subject: Solaris 2.6, path-filer, regex
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

Greetings. Long story short: I need to be able to write a
path-filter that matches spaces in uploaded filenames. Unfortunately, it
doesn't appear that the Solaris regex engine supports this. I've seen it
mentioned that the GNU library (regex 0.12?) does support this, however.
Has anyone managed to hack this together with Solaris and
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-vr17?

Regards,
Greg

I've heard it's been done. Take a look at how Linux uses it. Other than
that it should just about drop in but you might need to fiddle with order
of libraries in the Makefile (src/makefiles/Makefile.sol).

I've come up with the following patch, and it seems to work. Apply it
from the src/ directory. You need to have regex.c and regex.h (from the
GNU regex 0.12 package) in the src directory as well.

This patch could probably be done a lot more elegantly, but I had to get a
machine on-line. :) Comments or suggestions are welcome.

Regards,
Greg

I just installed VR17 on a SunOs 4.1.4 server, and when you ftp to the box, it
takes forever to connect. After you've connected, it seems to be running fine.
Any ideas?

Probably AUTH(ident) latency. The other end isn't responding at all to
AUTH requests so the daemon has to wait for a timeout.

Best solution: have the client-side responsd to the AUTH request. If you
don't want, or cannot, run identd then let theICMP Port/Service Not
Available mesage through (or generate it at the firewall).

so-so solution: recompile the deamon with USE_RFC931 #undef'd to disable
the feature.

I'm missing something simple here. I setup a user with a home directory of
/data2/httpd.

password entry:
kentl:x:514:512:Kent Larryt:/data2/httpd/./:/bin/ftponly

ftpaccess info:

class all real,guest,anonymous *

guestuser kentl
guest-root /data2/httpd klaird
restricted-uid 514

I have changed his password entry several times, but can't get chroot to work.
I want /data2/httpd to be his chroot directory, and his home directory. Any
ideas?

thanks

kentl:X:514:512::/data2/httpd:/bin/ftponly

guestuser kentl
restricted-uid kentl
guest-root /data2/httpd kentl

-or-

guestuser %514
restricted-uid %514
guest-root /data2/httpd %514

You need a % before numeric UIDs so the daemon knows it's a numeric ID and
not the username '514'.

I know this is the wrong list, but I am unable to find any DNS records
for beroftpd.unix.eu.org, so I can't post a bug report to any of the
lists there. I'm trying to compile Bero 1.3.4 on an AIX 4.3.0 system
using the VAC C compiler (it is ANSI compliant that I can tell).
Configure complains:
checking how to determine wtmpx file... configure: error: Cannot find
out how to locate wtmpx file. Contact [email protected].

Anyone know how I can fix this? Configure scripts are beyond me right
now, and I really need to get an FTP server with built-in LS running.
Having to create individual /lib, /bin etc for each guest user I have
to setup is going to be a real pain, so I really need to get Bero
running. Or does the VR series have the built in ls now? If so,
which edition do I need, and will it compile on AIX?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have successfully compiled and set up (with the help of this group) the
FTP-beta-18-vr15 on two test machines.
Tonight I wanted to upgrade the production machine and put the new version
because beta-13 is old and insecure.

I am getting errors right at ./build CC=gcc sol
What should I do? Why it is complaining? How can I upgrade this machine?

The VR series does not have built-in ls. It is known to compile on AIX.

BeroFTPD's addresses are in flux; I believe Bernhard finally gave up on
his old ISP. Posting to this list is fine. An alternate list, though,
which has his current email address is [email protected] (which
I've cross-posted this reply to).

ISTM the wtmpx file problem was discussed a month or two ago on the wustl
list, so you might have some luck going through the list archives.

You were right.. it was in the archives *thwap self - RTFMA* (mail
archives :). The "fix" is to remove the utmpx.h reference at its
first occurence in the for loop. This skips the utmpx test, and
appears to work. No, I spoke too soon:
"config.h", line 120.9: 1506-236 (W) Macro name NBBY has been redefined.
"config.h", line 120.9: 1506-358 (I) "NBBY" is defined on line 386 of
/usr/include/sys/types.h.
"ftpd.c", line 5451.16: 1506-275 (S) Unexpected text 'int'

"ftpd.c", line 5451.16: 1506-343 (S) Redeclaration of h_errno_which

I'll have to look at this further when I get back from a 1 month break
(1 week for the Linux Expo, 3 weeks in England). If my boss gives
permission, I'll happily help with getting Bero to compile on AIX
using the VAC compiler.

Thanks!

I don't know if it will suit your application, but I get around this by
having a common chroot point (with one /lib, /bin etc.) and individual
restricted-UID home directories below this for each user. This is with
VR17.

RE: /sparc-sun-solaris2.5 vs. sparc-sun-solaris2.6

I have a quick question regarding FTP upgrade difficulties on my prod box:

I've notice that on prod trouble-box (Solaris 2.6) in
/usr/home/usr_local/lib/gcc-lib
I have / directory.

--Question: The box was upgraded three weeks ago from 2.5 to 2.6. Should
I upgrade gcc as well? Is this a source of my compilation errors?

On other machines (Solaris 2.6) I have /sparc-sun-solaris2.6 directory and I
could do the FTP upgrade with no errors.

Any hints?

It is a production box ... I will build the daemon somewhere else then, as
you suggested.

I upgraded the development box and the testing and the y2k testing box and I
didn't have a problem at all...

The make & gcc version on this trouble box is the same as on other machines:
GNU Make version 3.76.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/2.8.1/specs
gcc version 2.8.1

Thanks for help, I will hand-copy FTP files.

the warnings about NBBY can be ignored. They indicate the machinee was
upgraded from ealier versions and the job wasn't very well done.

The DATAMODE_NATIVE is a problem. Again, probably due to a poorly done
upgrade.

The inability to make 'support/libsupport.a' indicates yu rant the make
command rather than './build sol' .. since you ran ./build I'd say it
means the make program is a very old version too.

The missing 'size' command indicates an incomplete install of the system.

If this were my box:

- If it is a development server, I'd wipte it down and do it right.

- if it is the only server running this version of the OS then it cannot,
by definition be a production server; it's a development server and
should be wiped down and done right.

- if it is a production server where program development is never
desired, I'd build the daemon elsewhere and hand-copy the files onto
it.

I'm currently running wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-18-VR14] on a Solaris 2.6 system.
I have a user from Bulgaria that needs to download files from the system.
Once he logs in a annonymous and gives his e-mail as password the system
responds with 230- and then hangs his session...

Any clues????

I don't use Solaris. What I was notiing was that the redefinition was
between two system headers.

On my systems, that usually happens when upgrading where the new version
moves the definition of something from one header to another and the old
header wasn't upgraded. As long as the definitions are the same (they
usually are) I don't worry about it.

For instance, my Linux 4.2 production box has a similar warning when
compiling the daemon:

/usr/include/netdb.h:70: warning: `_PATH_HEQUIV' redefined
/usr/include/paths.h:55: warning: this is the location of the previous definition

I've checked that the definitions are the same (they are) so I don't worry
about this warning. I suppose I could edit one or the other header to
eliminate the warning, but I don't see any point to it ('sides, it might
break something else).

Might have him try putting a dash (-) before his email address as
password. This tells the daemon to not use extended replies (230-) which
could be confusing his daemon.

You might also add command logging and see if it's a specific command
causing the hang.

I've had a number of downloads to sites in Bulgaria, so I'm assuming it's
not a network problem .. but that is something you should also entertain.
Thins to look for are firewall problems. Command logging should clue you
in on those since they usually have to do with data transfers and either
PORT or PASV connections.

Gregory:

I found a workaround by using /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc compiler instead of gcc.
It compiled with no errors.
Probably the next step will be the upgrade of gcc.

Thanks again for help.

eliminate the warning, but I don't see any point to it ('sides, it might
break something else).

Subject: chroot for real users
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

hi all,

i have successfully setup wuftp with both real and guest users. i would
like to further configure my environment to chroot all the real users. the
closest configuration parameter i see to do this is -rRootDirectory but this
falls short primarily since i can not limit the scope to the individual
account with out something like -rRootDirectory/%U (also my inetd is giving
me grief about the length of the in.ftpd argument list). i don't want to
enroll my real users in a guestgroup as that is would be too restrictive.

thanks
/pc

No. What you want to do is make everyone a guest user.

If it seems too restrictive, you're not thinking about your security model
in the right way.

There are features in the current version of the daemon (VR17) which make
all this vastly easier to set up and manage.

Finally got arround to looking at the allow-retrieve function. It does
allow wildcards (filename globbing) the same as noretrieve.

The problem may be the 'regular expression' term appearing in the manpage
for noretrieve. There was a beta-18-VR version which allowed regular
expressions. It turned out to be a very bad idea. I'd though the
reference was removed. I'll put a patch in to update the documentation.

Hi All,
I am trying to apply the patches for wu-ftpd beta18. I have the
patches but, have only used ./install_cluster for Solaris.
I issued the command patch wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr3.patch &
The result was the patch never installed. ps -ef | grep patch showed the
job was still running. Any tips would be appreciated.

Chuck

Kill the job. it's sitting the the background waiting for keyboard input
it'll never get.

The correct command is a pipe. Something like:

cd ~/wu-ftpd/
patch -p0 < ~/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr3.patch
patch -p0 < ~/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr4.patch
...

Of course, you're duplicating work already done. Just grab the tarball
for the version you want from the attic. If you want VR17 (the current
version), just grab the -vr17 tarball .. it's all patched and ready-to-go.

I was wondering if wuftpd can be modified to use something other than
/etc/passwd for authentication? I want to move all the users who do only FTP
to something other than /etc/passwd or an NIS passwd file.

If not, I will have to hack the source code.

If you hack the source code for this you are:

- Insane (join the club)
- In for a lot of unexpected breakage
- Doing it the hard way

If you run Linux or Solaris (or, I think, HP/UX) what you want to do is
install PAM and do your hacking as a PAM module where you don't need to
get into the daemon. Depending upon how you intend to validate users, you
can probably pick up an existing PAM module to do what you need.

If you need LDAP, let me know, I have some patches to LDAP-ify the daemon.
These patches are scheduled for review and possible (probable) inclusion
in a future version.

What I do, though, is a lot more basic. I run the daemon in a chroot area
before starting it. It still uses /etc/passwd, but not the system's
/etc/passwd.

And, of course, you could switch to the BeroFTPD version of Wu-FTPD.
BeroFTPD already supports alternate etc/passwd files.

Hi,

I use wu-ftp 2.4.2 beta 15 for sparc solaris 2.6 (downloaded the package from www.sunfreeware.com) .
How can I enable clients like gozilla and cute ftp to use the resume option?
I think its the RESTART (REST) function described in the rfc, but how can I tell wu-ftp to use it?

Greetings,

Schadix

Two points: WU-FTPD already supports REST. Just follow the RFC.

And, you should upgrade to a secure version of the daemon. Beta-15 is
very old, very buggy, and gives root access to anyone who asks for it.

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

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

I am using Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-18-VR14]. Any comments on the
stability, security of this version? Additionally, I have set up the service
to CHROOT users but am stuck with a login error.

Although my password entries seem to be correct and my user is set up (I
just have on at the moment). . . I still can't progress past

Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.

I think I've checked the obvious. . .

Where should I start looking?

Ian

Is it possible (and how) to set-up wu-ftp to allow users
to download only after they've uploaded first, and maintain
a Upload to Download ratio based upon # of files or total
bytes transferred?

Thanks,

Ratios: No. Someone did a patch for this a long time ago in a galaxy far
far away. Leave it there.

Limits: Yes. Get VR17.

Ian,

Probably you are missing the /etc/shells. This file must contain a
listing of the shells that are specified in your /etc/passwd file.

Example may look like.... (verify for aix)

/bin/true

/bin/csh

Thanks for the advice:

I added my ftponly shell to the shell log and still have the same problem (I
am only planning on allowing chrooted access and no other type when I am
done).

I have the following entry in my users passwd file (in his own /home/ian/etc
directory):

ian:!:200:1::/home/ian/./:/usr/bin/ftponly

The exact same entry exists in the /etc/passwd file on my system

In /etc/shells I have the following

/bin/bsh
/bin/csh
/bin/ksh
/bin/tsh
/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/bsh
/usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/tsh
/usr/bin/ftponly

I think I must be missing the obvious. . .

Thank for the help!

Ian

Two comments:

- the VR version likes the local passwd file to be consistent from the
internal view of the area.

In /etc/passwd, you'd say:
ian:!:200:1::/home/ian/./:/usr/bin/ftponly

In /home/ian/etc/passwd, you'd say:
ian::200:1::/:

Also, check that /usr/bin/ftponly is in your /etc/shells file.

- your user 'ian' is not secure and shouldn't be allowed FTP access
anyway. the daemon can be confgured to stop ian's login by using the
'deny-gid' ftpaccess clause. for instance, on Linux, where UID and GID
numbers less than 100 are reserved for system usee, I say:

deny-uid %-99
deny-gid %-99

Ian,

I doubt the file ftponly really exists in /usr/bin or anywhere else.
Probably the better thing to do is to make that /bin/true - and then add
/bin/true to your /etc/shells.

The /bin/true prohibits anyone from loggin on - since it only returns a
status value then exits. No real shell is started up.

This is probably something we need to clean up a bit and explain better in
the ftpaccess.5 man page.

Let me know if this still fails.

I installed ftponly as an exit script in /usr/bin using the text on the site
as a base. It works if you try to telnet and not ftp.

However, it does seem to be the problem, when I gave root (which was the
only user that was working for WU-FTP) that shell as a path I could't ftp as
well. I'll try your suggestions below. . .

Thanks,

Ian

Wu-ftp does not support this feature, although BeroFTPD do support ratio,
BeroFTPD is a simmilar version to Wu-ftp. It will do the ratio job for
you...have a try.

Hi,
It looks like my mail is screwed, as I sent this yesterday, but it seems
not to have come thru.
I'm running wu-ftp (BETA 18) on AIX, but when x-fering files in binary
format i get the following error:

ftp> bin
200 Type set to I.
ftp> get hosts hosts1
227 Entering Passive Mode (194,136,213,100,81,24)
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for hosts (0 bytes).
451 Local resource failure: malloc: Invalid argument.

The same in ascii format is working:
ftp> get hosts
227 Entering Passive Mode (194,136,213,100,161,172)
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for hosts (0 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
2029 bytes received in 0.1 seconds (19 Kbytes/s)

When this is working I also would like the files to be automatically
compressed by gzip/zip
and I've been copying gzip to ~/bin directory and used ftpconversions, but
it won't get zip'ed.
Any suggestions?

Med v�nliga h�lsningar / Best regards

Start by getting a current version of the daemon. VR17 should have fixed
some of the problems you're seeing; the malloc error and the zero-length
reported for files.

As for on-the-fly conversion. Take a look at my example site laid out at
ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/examples/ .. it's a minimal install (which
will work in Linux using all statically-linked binaries). That means you
may need additional libraries, devices, or other system glue, to get it to
work on AIX. Basically, to get gzip to work, read the FAQ about /bin/ls
and guests; where it says 'ls' you read 'gzip'.

Hello all,
I am going to install wu-ftpd on a second server with two hard drives
My senior admin was telling me to look into installing ftpd on the second
drive. The one that is not the root drive. Is there some truth to this being
the case? Aside from applying the tarball upgrades, using
/etc/password, file ownership and read / write permissions etc. Should I
look to use my physical resources as another level of security?

Thanks
Chuck

Recommended way: make all users guests.

Acceptable way: upgrade to VR17 and use restricted-uid

Best way: upgrade to VR17, make all users guests *and* use restricted-uid.

Subject: vr17 solaris2.5.1-x86 SIGSEGV in checkuser
X-Mailer: Elm [revision: 212.2]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

I searched the archives and didn't see anything similar to my
problem (although I did try a few of the suggestions I saw there).

Platform info:
pentium II, solaris 2.5.1
gcc 2.8.1
wu-ftpd vr17
(anything else needed?)

(I'm invoking ftpd with -a -d -p2101 -s -L (from the command line) although
I've used fewer parameters and have not seen any improvement)

I don't do anything special to build it (just 'build sol').

When a user tries to connect and they have a valid shell, ftpd
gets a SEGV when it tries to read the ftpusers file (in checkusers).
If the user doesn't have a valid shell, it doesn't SEGV (because
checkusers isn't called in that case).

However, if I try to login as "nobody" first (or apparently any user
that doesn't have a shell listed) and then issue a "user snyder", it
will allow me to enter my password and issue a few commands (pwd and
cd are all I've tested successfully), but I can't do a dir (ftpd seems
to get stuck on a connect system call). Hmm, I just put my client in
passive mode, and now the dir works.

At first I thought the problem was really in checkuser, but given
that a call to checkuser succeeds in one certain case, I think
the problem lies elsewhere, and checkuser is the victim of some other
misbehavior.

Has anyone else seen this and (hopefully) fixed it?

Apologies to the list-- I'm now thinking this is some type of problem
with my machine-- I built and tested on a different computer (with
mostly the same hardware) and ftpd is doing ok. I've compared the
binaries on both machines, and they're the same. The libraries that
both binaries require are the same, too (from 'ldd ftpd' and cksum
on the libs listed).

The only other things that I can think of that might be causing this
problem are hardware problems or both of my machines got hacked and
only one is exhibiting any problems.

At any rate, I don't think the problem is wu-ftpd(vr)

Thanks for listening,

Hi Ron,

I've successfully installed vr17 on this machine (a Sparc Classic running
SunOS 5.6) without any problems. I was using Academ's base 2.4.2 release
until vr17 was installed over the top of it a short while ago.

A few notes for the list in general...

Something I did notice - Makefile.sol in support/makefiles tries to use
'cc' - most people use gcc with SunOS 5.x since Suns C compiler is not
supplied with the operating system, and /usr/ucb/cc does nothing other
than breaking without it.

Ideally something based on GNU's autoconf should be used to create a
configure script which checks for this sort of thing and automatically
generates makefiles, etc. accordingly.

Also, I needed to seriously edit src/pathnames.h since I wanted to keep
things the same as when I was running the old wu-ftpd-2.4 (before I found
out about the Academ stuff).

I got rid of just about all the #ifdefs, etc. since all the defaults are
wrong for my installation, and I reduced to lots of #defines. It's not at
all portable any more though. 8-)

Regards,

Craig.

I have a machine which use Redhat5.2 as firewall. But when I use ftp
from intranet, it always give me port error message. I know I have to
install FTP proxy on the firewall machine. So how can I do that? Can
Wu-ftp also work as ftp proxy? How can I configure these things?

Install Squid.

No.

Can't help you with Squid.

Use the build command to compile the daemon first.

I've just attempted to upgrade from wu-ftpd 2.4.2 (Academ)
to wu-ftpd 2.5.0 on Solaris 7. I'm using the same ftpaccess
for each, including the line

"deny !nameserved /apps/unique/wu-ftpd-250/!nameserved"

Unfortunately, wu-ftpd 2.5.0 is refusing access to hosts which
do have valid PTR entries in the domain name service. Before
I get out the debugger, does anyone have a quick fix?

Thanks
Simon

Subject: WU-FTPD-VR Project Terminated
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

With the release of Version 2.5.0 from the WU-FTPD Development Group, and
after over a year of intensive development, the VR series of updates to the
daemon has come to an end. The will be no VR18 version; instead I will be
directing my efforts toward the Development Group.

The primary distribution site for the most-current version of the daemon
has moved. The primary distribution site for the WU-FTPD daemon is now:

ftp://ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd/

All sites mirroring FTP.VR.NET are asked to shift their mirrors to this new
site. Please notify either me or the WU-FTPD Development Group,
mailto:[email protected], once you have shifted your mirror. Be
sure to include the URLs (even if they have not changed) so we can ensure
the mirrors listing is up-to-date.

To ease the transition, FTP.VR.NET is now mirroring FTP.WU-FTPD.ORG, and
will continue to do so for at least 90 days, after which FTP.VR.NET will no
longer carry WU-FTPD related material.

I wish to extend a heart-felt thank-you to all those who helped with the
development, testing and distribution of the VR series of updates to the
daemon. I sincerely hope you will continue by showing your support for the
Development Group's efforts.

Subject: WU-FTPD 2.5.0 Released

WU-FTPD 2.5.0 is now available for download. Two formats are available,
please choose the one best suited to your needs:

ftp://ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd-current.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd-current.tar.Z

This release is believed to be very stable on all platforms. All users are
STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to upgrade their servers as soon as possible.

Anyone using any 'Academ Beta' version of WU-FTPD 2.4.2, or the original
version 2.4 from Washington University, should UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY to avoid
a number of potentially serious security issues.

Version 2.5.0 marks first official release from the WU-FTPD Development
Group. This version is based the VR series of upgrades to the Academ
version 2.4.2 release.

The WUFTPD Development Group was formed to foster continued development of
the daemon. Initial plans call for merging the two major versions of the
daemon: 2.4.2-VR and BeroFTPD. At this point, however, the release is
solely corrections to the last VR upgrade.

I just tested on ftp.vr.net and it works fine for me. Check you local DNS
setup, maybe it's failing on lookups?

Hi,

Besides voting for the add of an overwrite+upload flag (see TODO file), i
would like to know if you're planning to modify the format of the file
'ftphosts' to accept groups (from /etc/group) as well as single user.

thanks

I'm making the ftp connection from 134.32.4.15 to 134.32.4.3.

Must be either something with your local setup or Solaris 7. I've
cross-posted to wuftpd-members, at least one of the members runs Solaris 7
so maybe he'll have some insight.

Hi all,

Just a quick request. I'm trying to find source-code or a binary for an FTP
client that will terminate on any error, rather than simply reporting to
stdout and terminating ok. Can anybody help?

My pet project right now is a complete rewrite of how the daemon handles
configuration files. I'm starting on ftpaccess since it's the biggest
mess. I'd not yet considered what I want to do with ftphosts, but I'll
keep your suggestion in mind. So your answer is a qualified 'yes'.

You can use expect to automate ftp scripts.

Here is a short expect script that sends one file as an example. It will
report an error if any command fails.

#! /usr/local/bin/expect

if { [llength $argv] < 2 } {
send_error "Usage: ftp.exp <local filename> <remote filename>\n"
exit 1
}

set status 0
set fileName [lindex $argv 0]
set rFileName [lindex $argv 1]

spawn /usr/bin/ftp -niv ftp.server.com
expect -nocase "ftp>" {send "user myuser mypass\r"} \
timeout {send_error "\nUnable to connect\n"
exit 1 }
expect -nocase "230" {send "put $fileName $rFileName\r"} \
timeout {send_error "\nUnable to log on\n"
exit 1 }
expect -nocase "226 transfer complete" {send "bye\r"} \
"ftp>" {send_error "\nUnable to send file $fileName\n"
exit 1 }
expect -nocase "goodbye" {} \
timeout {send_error "\nDid not receive goodbye\n"
exit 1 }

Hi there,

I'm having some troubles configuring a guest account with wuftp. I
followed the instructions at ftp://ftp.fni.com/pub/wu-ftpd/guest-howto
to set up a guest user account with a user name "elvis" member of group
"ftpusers" with a home directory in "/home/ftpusers/elvis".

I can login fine, upload files, download files just fine. Only problem
is I can't see a directory listing. What am I missing?

thanks,
Rob

read the FAQ about setting up bin/ls in the anonymous area .. where it
says "anonymous" read "chroot'd-guest area"

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

The file in question has 644 permissions, and every directory in
the path has 755 permissions.

For what it is worth, I think you misunderstood the problem as I
originally stated it...

ftpd is not failing to show the message in question. The problem
is that ftpd is displaying the message and then denying access. This
is happening even when the connection is coming from the same machine
running ftpd. There is something wrong with this function in the 2.5.0
code. How can a DNS lookup fail for the local hostname?

Hello,

we've about 200 anonymous users on our AIX 4.3.2 server running WU-FTPD 2.4
VR 17 and have
following problem. For every new user we have to copy libc.a, libcurses.a to
the user's home directory
which makes about 6megs files pro user. That does make 1,2Gb for the 200
users. Is there a another
method to have those files without copying them each time to the user's home
directory?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Can someone tell me what is causing the following error when typing the
"dir" command after logging in:

425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0.20): No such file or directory

Our ftpd is set up such that it does authentication via NIS+ or LDAP and
drops users into their home directory/public_html. This is on Solaris
2.5.1.

I have another question. We would like to enable in the ftpaccess file -
groupguest guest (chroot) - so that user's can't cd outside their home
directory. They see their path as "/public_html" when they do "pwd" rather
than the entire fully qualified home directory. The problem is that when a
user uses Netscape Composer, the path to access the ftp server includes a
prefix of ftp://ftp.xxx.xx/upload/userid and that fails when the chroot is
enabled.

Is there a way to set up aliasing with wildcards so that when they try to go
to ftp://ftp.XXX.XX/upload/userid, it will take them to their home
directory/public_html and ignore the upload prefix. ( i.e. alias /upload/*
to /public_html)

Thanks,
Maribeth

Hi,

I know this may sound funny, but it is the first time I need to put up a
multiuser site. I only have some experience with a single user site
(just anon access) but now I need for 200 users to have their own
homepage and be able to upload them to a server, the server is running
Suse 6.1 and the latest wu-ftp (2.5.0 I believe).

I need them to be able to view/upload files to their own dir. but not to
view anyone else dir. at this point they can look at eachothers dir and
stuff (hell, the can even go to the root dir.) Can anyone give a some
hints on where I should start, I don;t seem to understand yet what I do
wrong (little experience...)

Thanks in advance,

Greetz Vincent...

Lauer,

So long as they are all on the same file system, you can create hard links
to a copy of the libc.a..... from each user account. It's probably not
wise to link them to the /usr/lib copies. Note - Symbolic links do not
work across chrooted areas.

I have a small script one of my people developed which creates chrooted
areas for a solaris system. I can forward you a copy if desired.

Mad,

Read the part about guest users (guestgruop). Note, you will have to
create a small change rooted environement for eacy one - but once it is
set up correctly, each "users" will be able to maintain their own area -
and not be able to see anywhere else in the system.

Let me know if you need more help.

After release of 2.5.0, two separate reports of problems with
deny !nameserved msgfile
were received. Basically, the daemon was treating '!nameserved' as
a host name and not fully giving it the special treatment it needs.
This problem has been in the daemon since, at least, version 2.4
was not unmasked until VR9 changed the details of how hostmatch()
does its thing.

I'd move the chroot to a point common to all users then use the
'restricted-uid' feature on VR17 to keep them apart. That way, one copy
of the library, without links, would serve for all users.

What happens is that no one can log into the server. When !nameserved fails
the following text can be printed:

You only have IP address %R and no reverse mapping.

With 2.4.2.b18.vr14 this would read

You only have IP address 129.241.56.18 and no reverse mapping.

With 2.5.0 this reads

You only have IP address biff.stud.ntnu.no and no reverse mapping.

So clearly there is a mixup between IP address and hostname. If you try
reverse mapping of the IP address biff.stud.ntnu.no (not even numeric...)
it will of course not exist.

The error is in access.c at line 1132. I will leave it to you to make the
appropriate fixes.

On looking a bit further, the problem was unmasked when 2.5.0 added '!'
syntax to hostmatch() so you could say things like:
class notlocalnet anonymous,guest,real !127.0.0.0/8

This change caused hostmatch () to return TRUE meaning 'Yes, "nameserved"
does not match the remote name or IP address.'

Before this change, hostmatch() returned FALSE meaning 'No, "!nameserved"
does not match the remote name or IP address.'

Hello,

Does anyone here know how I can define wu_ftpd to log everything to
/var/adm/xferlog?? Presently I have this in my /etc/ftpaccess

log commands real
log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound

But I want logins and other info logged also. I would like everything
logged to /var/adm/xferlog. Also sometimes I get delete requests sent
to /var/adm/messages and I cannot figure out why.

Thanks for any info,

Ryan

you can't get there from here. but you can go another way.

the daemon does not have any feature to record anything in the xferlog
except actual file transfers.

but what you can do is tell the daemon (version 2.5.0) to log the
transfers to the system log.

log syslog

or to both the syslog and xferlog

log syslog+xferlog

First of all, thanks for all the replies.

I've think (almost sure) I've done all that the FAQ says about the guest
accounts (ftp.fni.com/pub/wu-ftpd/guest-howto). But now when I try to
logon via FTP it says error 530 Login incorrect. When I change the shell
back to /bin/bash I can login again but then I can login via telnet and
view all the dir's up to the root.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I started out with wu-ftpd 2.5.0 but then gone back to Stan Barbers'
version (2.4.2 because it was recommended (highly) in the FAQ. but still
it doesnt' work. I use the ftponly shell etc, but it don't seem to get
going.

Anyone have any idea's.

Mad,

You probably now need to add your shells to the /etc/shells file. If it
doesn't exist, create it.

Normal shells to be there....

/bin/true
/bin/csh (for real users)

If your using bash - add it also. (make the pathnames match the location
of these shells for your box).

This problem is also occuring on my AIX box.

If I remove the "deny !nameservd" line from ftpaccess, then access is
allowed.

Sounds to me like dns lookups have been adversely affected.

There are a number of possible causes. Check out the FAQ at
http://www.cetis.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html#QA42
for more details.

A good starting point for support for the wuftpd daemon is Kent Landfield's
WU-FTPD Resource Center at
http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/
This contains links to the FAQ and other useful documentation, including a
"how-to" guide for Solaris 2.5.x...

Sounds like Netscape Composer has a design flaw if it doesn't let the user
supply the pathname they want.

One possibility might be to mount each user's public_html directory as
/upload/userid using loopback mounts; I think this will only work if the user's
directory is on the same disk as the upload mount point, though.

Good luck !

Cheers, Bob

Someone else came with the same idea, but I already have done that (it
says so in the FAQ). But the fake shell works great for telnet , but not
for the ftp. When I try to telnet it kick's me out just as it's supposed
to do. but when I try to ftp it denies my login. When I change it back
to /bin/bash it works just fine for ftp but not for telnet.

If you are having problems with the shells you could always just put "exit"
and nothing else in the user's profile so they can't login via shell. That
way, you don't have to worry about what shell they are using or configuring
the shells portion of WU-FTP. . .

Any comments anyone else?

ftp.

If you're using Redhat, and have PAM enabled, these rules may be applied
slightly differently: PAM does its own check of the /etc/shells file and
the daemon's check is disabled.

In the base daemon, the /etc/shells check is done by the OS runtime
function getusershell(). I would assume that that function needs to have
read access to the file /etc/shells, so check that the file is world-
readable.

Some systems do not normally have /etc/shells and the getusershell()
function. For those systems, the daemon uses it's own version from the
support directory.

It would not surpise me to learn there are:

- systems which cache the /etc/shells file internally to make
getusershell() faster. This caching could be getting in your way. If
yours is such a system you'll need to flush the cache when you change
the file.

- systems which provide getusershell() which does not use /etc/shells.
If your system is such, you'l need to either switch the daemon to use
the version from support, or you'll need to read the manuals to
determine how to manage the list of valid shells.

- systems whose getusershell() function makes additional checks, for
instance that the named shell exists and is executable. If your system
is such, you'll need to determine the rules and make sure your
replacement shell meets them.

In general, however I'd suggest you try the following:

Create a file named /bin/ftponly containing the following:
#!/bin/sh
exit(0)

Set the ownership and permissions on the new shell program. Check how
other shells are set, but on most systems, the following will do:
chown 0 /bin/ftponly
chgrp 0 /bin/ftponly
chmod 755 /bin/ftponly

Add the following line to your /etc/shells:
/bin/ftponly

Verify that the user is not named in /etc/ftpusers.

Try your telnet and ftp tests again.

Use a legitimate shell, just put "exit" as the ONLY line in the users
".profile"

That way, they technically actually log in for a millisecond but the first
thing that happens is they are dropped out of the shell.

Just one option. Comments anyone?

Hi,

I will give some more info about my system.

I use Suse 6.1 which uses kernel 2.2.5 I have no patches applied and I
am using the 'out of the box' kernel , so I didn't recompile.

I've run over the FAQ (the one I talked about before) and done
everything it says to the letter (I even created a user called mort as
in the FAQ). I have tried it with wu-ftpd 2.4.2 and with 2.5.0 versions
but they both come back with the same result.

I think somehow the ftd (or something else) try's to open the shell for
that user but sins the shell doesn't do anything it comes back with an
error that it cannot logon. (I think something uses the shell to start
somthing else (sins my knowledge stops about a 100 feet back this all
goes over my head)) I can understand why it would do something like
that, but I can't find why it does that.

Ian Guthrie came with the ".profile" it does work, but I'm not shure if
that is the sollution because that may be compromisible (?). but for now
it may be a sollution.

Thanks all for the help... If anyone has any other ideas or had the same
problem, please mail...

Greetz Vincent...

Hello all,
I started with wu-ftp with the original beta 2.4.2 version. After the
security bulletin a couple of months ago, I upgraded to wu-ftp with VR 16
patches. To upgrade, I built the daemon on 1 machine with GCC, and then
tarred the binaries, ftp'd them to the target server (I don't want a
compiler on this one), untarred them and moved them to the directory where
the old binaries lived. The only change I had to make was to add another
'-a' in inetd.conf and all worked perfectly.
I tried to do the same thing with 2.5.0. I compiled it from the source
code with GCC changed to the bin subdirectory, tarred the binaries, ftp'd
them to the target server, untarred them there, and moved them to the
directory where the binaries live. FTP did not work after this. I tried
removing the extraneous '-a' and did a kill -1 on the inetd pid with the
same results. I also did a 'ckconfig' and all checked out OK.
The target server is a Sun Ultra Enterprise 2 running Solaris 2.6 with
TCP Wrappers. The compile server is the same with GCC 2.8.1.
Below is the line from /etc/inetd.conf that controls ftpd and my
ftpaccess file.
Please help!!
Thanks a million,
Michael

What are the symptoms of 'does not work'?

Also, there are now prebuilt binary Solaris 2.6 standard package files on
ftp.wu-ftpd.org which you could use instead unless you're changing options
when you build.

'-a' is _not_ extraneous. It is required to force the daemon to read and
use the ftpaccess file. If there are 2, then one of them is unnecesary.

The man page indicates that -t300 and -T600 are the appropriate way to
specify these parameters.

The default location for ftpaccess is in /etc . Have you done a strings of
the new daemon to see where it is looking for the ftpacess file?

My last question is: what do you mean "Doesn't work"

I'm running 2.4.2 on solaris 2.5.1. What could cause an 'ls' to work but
not 'dir' ? Wrestled for sometime now, but just can't get it to work!

Christopher,

This is normally caused because your chrooted environment is not totally
setup up correctly. The ls comand uses internal ftpd services. The dir
command tries to execute the real ls program under the ftp chrooted area.
Depending on your system type, this may also require you to include
dynamically loaded libraries (if ls is not static) and the /dev/zero
device entry.

Hi,
I'd like to set up timeout period for users. Some of them are complaining
that they have been cut off in the middle of the d/l sessions.

My binary ftpd looks like this:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd -L
-a

----Does -t option means timeout of an inactive session only?
----Does -T means logout form FTP session, no matter if the user is in the
process of d/l or u/l a file?

----Does my setting means that if user don't use FTP session, she/he will be
logged off in 15 min, and all my users have limited FTP session to only 2
hours?

Please advise,
Regards,
..Magda

$man ftpd
The ftp server will timeout an inactive session after 15
minutes. If the - t option is specified, the inactivity
timeout period will be set to timeout seconds. A client may
also request a different timeout period; the maximum period
allowed may be set to timeout seconds with the - T option.
The default limit is 2 hours.

Hi,

I'm currently running wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 18 and it serves my main goal of
virtual root for each users, and planning to upgrade the server. Seems like
here are quite a few variations of wu-ftpd out there lately. Would someone
please suggest a quick comparison of the basic wu-ftpd, VR version, and
BeroFTPd especially in security and other handy functionality. Does any of
them support SSL?

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Jeff

Yes.

No. It means the user cannot change their timeout (SITE IDLE command) to
anything larger that this value.

I use the following on the command line:
-t 300 -T 300
which means: idle (inactivity) timeout, between commands, of 5 minutes.
The maximum idle timeout is also 5 minutes. Users can change their idle
timeout to a lower value if they want.

I use the following in my ftpaccess file:
limit-time anonymous 30
which means: anonymous users are allowed to be connected for a maximum of
30 minutes. Transfers in progress at the end of that period will complete
as normal; the time limit is only for new commands being issued.

Yes, this is what the defaults are. Way too large, aren't they?

If you have users complaining that they are being timed-out in the midst
of a transfer, possible causes are:

- Windows 9x/NT dial-up networking isn't seeing the FTP transfer as
activity. You'll need to have Microsoft rewrite the OS to fix this, or
upgrade to a real system, like Linux or FreeBSD.

- ISP terminal server isn't seeing the FTP transfer as activity. Get
another ISP. One that knows what they're doing would be good.

- Well, you know, this is the Internet and sometimes you just can't get
there from here. Routers fail. Wires get cut. Shit happens. If it
happens for long enough, you'll timeout the TCP socket and lose the
transfer. If it happens a lot, change ISPs. Otherwise, give it a few
hours (or a couple days) and see if it gets better.

- "But they're local users!" .. look for a failing Ethernet card, hub or
cable.

The current version of WU-FTPD is 2.5.0 and includes all VR features.

A future version of the daemon will include many of the BeroFTPD features.
Some of the BeroFTPD features are for up-and-coming FTP protocol changes
and won't appear until they actually become RFCs and clients begin to
support them.

For maximum security you should be running 2.5.0 or the current version of
BeroFTPD. Which you chose should depend up on virtual hosting. If you do
a lot of vhosts, use BeroFTPD. Otherwise use 2.5.0.

BeroFTPD supports security features (FTP-SEC) such as Kerberos 5. 2.5.0
does not.

> Does any of them support SSL?

No. And don't ask for it unless you've gotten the US gov't to change
their silly ITAR restrictions. There's an OLD (so old, the security
problems negate any good SSL does) set of patches against beta-13 or so
available .. it's referenced from the SSLeay main site. You're on your
own for them.

Has anybody have a problem where wuftpd does not read the ftpaccess
file. I am running on Solaris 2.6 just upgraded from solaris 2.5. I
know the ftpaccess file is not being read because I look at the last
date/time it was accessed by a program it does not change when I start
the server but there FTP server is running because I can FTP and
upload a file. The other item that I know it is not working correctly
is that my passwd file for user "userid" has their home directory as
/home/FTP/./home/userid. If I run in.wuftpd manually with all my
options It works and reads the file. I do use the -a to enable reading
the ftpaccess file.

Hi,

The problem with Login dissapears when I have a normal shell.

When I check the log it says:

May 27 15:52:16 homepages ftpd[728]: FTP LOGIN REFUSED (bad shell or
username in /etc/ftpusers) FROM localhost [127.0.0.1], mort

I think this mean that ftpd check for a working shell, in this case the
sollution from Ian Guthrie about the .profile (just exit) works fine
except that when I telnet and I'm 'fast enough' with the ^C the .profile
is not executed. Then I thought, well, lets just put in the passwd file
a working shell but with exit (/bin/bash exit) so it will execute a
working shell and still exit without the ability to bypass the
profile's exit
Is this a Suse problem or is this a ftpd problem? I'm still not sure
about that...

Greetz Vincent...

Sounds like its running the wrong version. (I just ran into

Hello,
I had installed 2.4.2 beta 18 with the latest VR on my test machine. I
am going to install and implement wu-ftpd on my production machine. I
want to use the current version 2.5.0. My question is can I use the
Howto setup guide for 2.4.2beta18 to instal the new version of 2.5.0

Chuck

I hope you're using 'guestgroup ftponly'

The 'cannot see files' problem is the FAQ about 'bin/ls won't work'. The
'cannot go anywhere' is not true but the client you're using may be
unwilling because of the bin/ls problem.

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

ftp://ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd/

2.5.0 is based upon VR17. It should drop right in. Of course the
difference between 'should' and 'will' is the reason I hand-install
everything instead of let 'make install' have at it automagically.

If your operating system supports loopback mounts, you can use them to keep
a single copy of the libraries etc. and mount it under each user's home
directory...

Hey guys(gals),
thanks for the previous advice, I've gotten everything working
right now, EXCEPT, does anyone know of a way to get around having all of
those dang libraries in each guest users root? They add up to almost 3
megs per user. With several hundred user on board, this will add up
quickly when I implement the new *working* wu. Any advice would be oh so
GREATly appreciated!!

You only need one copy of the libraries per filesystem, just hard link
them into each guest users root.

I built it with gcc-2.8.1 using the "build CC=gcc sgi" command. It went
right through, once I got over the hurdle of getting gcc :)

I am trying to configure wuftpd with guest groups on an internal system
that has rexec and sendmail enabled, so I don't want anyone to write
over, rename, chmod, etc.. their ".rhosts" and ".forward" files, and
"bin" and "usr" directories. I also would like to be able to put the
user into a directory that they can write to when they ftp in, so they
don't have do a cd to "pub" or similiar. The dilema is that if I make
their home directory owned by the user they can modify/rename those
files, and if I make it owned by root, and writable by a group, I would
have to make a new group for each FTP user.

Is there a way in the wuftpd configuration file to specify individual
files (but not all files) which cannot be written over, renamed,
chmodded, etc..., in a way similiar to the "noretrieve" keyword (Is
there a "noaccess" type of keyword)?

The guestgroup faq didn't seem to have a solution for this scenerio.

Thanks,
Chris

Hello all:

I have tried to set up a guest account (username:sprint) on a Linux
2.0.35 box running Wu-ftp, using the howto by Mike Brennen.

When I ftp in as the user, it is not chroot'ed to the home directory. I
have hacked the passwd & group files correctly (I think) and restarted
the server, no luck.

I can jump up & down the directory structure from the home directory, of
course I can't see any files, but that still isn't right, is it?

Anyone out there running on a similar platform?

Thanks
Dave Jones

Millions. Luckily only a few thousand will see you plea and not many, if
any, will answer.

Your problem is probably that the user is not EXPLICITLY named in
/etc/group as a member of the group named in /etc/ftpaccess guestgroup.

MIME-Version: 1.0

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

Hi there...

I just wanted to let everyone on the list know of my success
with wuftpd 2.5.0 and OPIE on a Linux box.

No modifications had to be made at all.

My build enviroment is :
A modified RedHat 5.2 with OPIE 2.32 installed.
Linux Kernel 2.2.9
and of course wuftpd 2.5.0.

Quick steps I used:
extract the source and cd into...
mkdir /etc/ftpd
cp doc/examples/* /etc/ftpd
(This allows everything in /etc/ftpd)

My build command is : (OPIE stuff was a little different than default)
./build lnx OPIEDIR=/usr/include OPIELIB=/usr/lib NOPAM=1

Then to install is :
./build install

Works like a champ...

Thanks...........

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

For the wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-18-VR15] there used
to be IRIX 6.x binaries on the ftp server. Although
there is a file "binaries/sgi/irix/irix62-ftpbin.tar.gz"
in the new wu-2.5.0 site, it doesn't contain any wu-ftp
binaries.

I then downloaded the source, but the "build sgi" refers
to SGI Irix 4.0.5a (!) which is five years old at least.
Has anyone built wu-2.5.0 for IRIX 6.5? Or are there
pre-built binaries hiding somewhere?

TIA,

probably using the wrong ftpaccess file.

chconfig should tell you where to look for the right ftpaccess file but I
like to ask the code itself:

$ strings ftpd | grep ftpaccess
FTP server started without ftpaccess file
--> /etc/ftpaccess
Too many args (>%d) in ftpaccess: %s %s %s %s %s ...

Sounds like a networking problem on you Windoze box. Personally, I'd
trash it and use a real system but you prolly wanna repair it.

Whatever client is sending that PORT command: get you money back, it's not
speaking FTP.

As for the IP address stuff: get 2.5.0 for some bugfixes and read the
ftpaccess manpage there are options (I'm WAY to tired to remeber what I
called 'em) which should solve your addressing issues. You want 2.5.0
because it fixes a bug in the features you need.

Hello,

See the /etc/ftpaccess file.
Is possible that it has the next configuration option:
delete no anonymous guest

This don't allow guest users delete files.
The solution, change the option for:
delete no anonymous

Greetings.

All anonymous users will be 'anon'
All read and guest users will be 'all'
No user will ever be 'remote'

The specific cause for "login incorrect" is in your system log.

David,

Get the current release 2.5.0 from wu-ftpd.org. Things have been updated
significantly - and several potential security issues resolved. It does
have separate support for the later irix 6.x releases.

Hello all,
I had several replies to my question, many of which asked "What do you
mean when you say it does not work?" When I try to connect to the target
server via ftp here is what I get:

# /~ > ftp www
Connected to www.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

As soon as I replace the binaries with the VR16 version, all is well
again.
Thanks,
Michael

the concept in 2.5.0 is that virtual hosts are to be used only by
anonymous users and by guest users who have the same chroot as the virtual
host's root.

to disallow anonymous users on the virtual host, use the following syntax:
virtual <address> private
in your case
virtual 209.224.145.93 private

to allow or deny guest or real access on the virtual server, use the
following syntax:
virtual <address> allow <username> [<username>...]
virtual <address> deny <username> [<username>...]
wildcards are allowed here. the default case is to deny all real and
guest users (as you've found out). So, you could user something like:
virtual 209.224.145.93 allow *
then, for grins, insert the following _before_ the allow * line:
virtual 209.224.145.93 deny babu

to disallow anonymous access on the default (non-virtual) server while
allowing it on virtual servers, use:
defaultserver private

to disallow specific users on the default (non-virtual) server while
allowing them on virtual servers, use:
defaultserver deny <username> [<username>...]
defaultserver allow <username> [<username>...]

So .. pulling it all together:

Our real server is 172.16.0.1
We have two virtual servers: 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1

Let's close the default server to all users _except_ babu

Let's only allow anonymous access on 192.168.1.1
We'll allow babu here, too.

Let's only allow real and guest on 192.168.2.1
But babu is not allowed here

defaultserver private
defaultserver allow babu
defaultserver deny *
virtual 192.168.1.1 allow babu
virtual 192.168.2.1 private
virtual 192.168.2.1 deny babu
virtual 192.168.2.1 allow *

1) The shell does not even need to exist. Just be listed in /etc/shells.
At least as far as the daemon is concerned. The daemon users the
OS-provided getusershell() function. On Linux, this simply reads
/etc/shells and does NOT check for the existance or usability of the
shell.

2) The problem is NOT with SuSe or the dameon code.

3) The problem IS almost certainly a typographical error or some other
configuration-file problem. Most likely you've omitted or mis-typed
the line in /etc/shells so that is does not exactly match the name of
the shell you've created.

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

Michael,

Just by chance, did you run ftpshut on the old server - and leave the
shutdown file out there somewhere?

Regardless, would probably be nice to....

in inetd.conf

add the -a -l flags to the ftpd invocation. and - modify your syslog.conf
to force loging on *.info so that everything gets logged into your
messages file. See if that tells you anything about what is going on.

Also, verify the executable you think is running is actually getting
executed. ls -lu

Hello,
I'm using the wu-ftpd server version wu-2.4.2-VR16, and the ftp client
WS-FTP.

Randomly, when I transfer lot of files (20-30) get the message:
rl-recv: Blocking call cancelled
and the conexion blocks, I must restart the ftp connection for transfer
more files.

Another error I have seen is:
PORT 192.168.8.10, 72
500 Illegal PORT command

I have a 192.168.x.x netword whit a firewall which makes the NAT
translation to a real IP.
The FTP server is a host with real IP, and the FTP client is a host with
192.168.8.10 IP.

May someone had the same problems ?
Why this problems ?
Any solution ?

Many thanks.

Try adding /bin/true to /etc/shells and using it as your shell.

I have been trying to get ftpd to work with guest accounts.
I followed the a working example from Michael
Brennen ([email protected])
but everytime I have the line
'guestaccount ftponly' in the ftpaccess file, I manage to log in but I
dont see any directory or files and cant go anywhere.
If I comment out the guestaccount, I log on with no problem but I dont
want people to have access to the whole drive.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

YES! As a matter of fact, I have the same problem. I have installed
wu-ftpd without upgrades to two different computers, one running Solaris
2.6 and the other running 2.7. And neither one has in.ftpd reading from
the ftpaccess file. When I put the -a switch in the inetd.conf file,
wu-ftpd doesn't run at all.

One thing: wu-ftpd is using PAM now if possible. Maybe PAM on that system
checks valid shells differently. Check /etc/pam.d/ftp

Just a hunch.

Im having a problem with my Wuftp. My users can log in ok and copy files ok
to there dir but when they goto delete files that are already in there.
There files are set to chmod 775 but even when i set it to 777 it still will
not erase them. I made sure that there user and group are set correctly for
there dir. But still no juice. I also set the dir to 777 to test it. But
still nothing can someone help me out. thanks

Hi Ian,

Well, the problem with the .profile is that I can ^C before the .profile
is read/executed therefor trapping the ^C won't be the sollution.

The problem is, everybody thinks its a /etc/shells problem, but if I use
the normal bash in the passwd file (except there exit behind it) it
should work because its the same shell I use for my normal (console)
logins therefor thatone must be correct in the /etc/shells file. Mayby
it works for you ,by the way, so you won't have to use the .profile
anymore.

For the one's who still think its a /etc/shells problem, I've pasted my
shells here under...

/bin/ash
/bin/bash
/bin/bash1
/bin/csh
/bin/false
/bin/true
/bin/sh
/bin/tcsh
/usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/tcsh
/usr/bin/zsh
/bin/ftponly
/etc/ftponly

This is my /etc/shells files and this is my passwd file (or at least a
part of it)

nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/tmp:/bin/bash
mort:x:1000:101::/home/mort/./:/bin/bash exit
test:x:1001:101::/home/test/./:/etc/ftponly

If there is anymore info anyone should need to help me with this problem
than PLEASEEEE tell me.

Greetz Vincent...

I installed the new ftpd on my Solaris 2.6 last night. I noted that the
2.5.0 version installed at a different location than the 2.4.2-beta-18-vr
series. The previous version installed as /usr/sbin/in.ftpd whereas the
2.5.0 version installed at /etc/in.ftpd. I would support the "wrong
version" theory. Verify that your inetd.conf file points to the correct
location.

The traditional way to do this is

use hard links when the users are on the same filesystem. symlinks will
not work. if you try them, don't bother asking why things are not
working: you've been warned.

use loopback mounts when on different filesystems. The poor man's
alternate here, for systems which do not support loopback mounts, is to
use an NFS loopback.

The way I do this is:

- Choose a common point where all (or a large group) of users can be
found. On my servers, for instance, customer-users are in /home/users.

- Chroot (by making guest) the users to that common point. I'm using
2.5.0 (well duh) so I can do this without hacking in the passwd file or
creating any new Unix groups:

# /etc/ftpaccess

# Make everyone a guest
guestuser *

# Oops, the username 'ftp' need to be real so anonymous FTP works.
# (Consider this a KNOWN PROBLEM to be fixed in a future version.)
realuser ftp

# All users are in /home/users, all users are guests, set the chroot
guest-root /home/users

- Follow the guest HOWTO and the FAQ to set up this area for guest use.
This means I create /home/users/bin /home/users/etc etc. For a complete
look, see ftp://ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd/examples/ .. which does not
use these new features of ftpaccess, but shows the directory layout I
use. Notice that I'm only creating one area for all users so I only
need one copy of all the libs and other glue needed for FTP to work.

- Test to be sure everything works as it should. At this point it should
_except_ for one thing: users can cd into each other's directories.

- A new (since VR16) feature is 'restricted-uid'. Think of this as a
"soft chroot". By that, I mean it appears to the user as if a chroot
to their home directory has occurred, but the work is done in the
daemon, not the OS.

Because this work is done in the daemon, you should not rely on it to be
as faithfull as a real chroot. It *MIGHT* be possible to convince the
daemon to allow access outside the user's home directory.

Since this is a new feature, a few problems might occur. In fact, some
have. So you want to be running 2.5.0 rather than a VR version to be
sure you have the latest fixes for it. FYI the problems were for
Navigator and IE users and not security-related.

A caveat: the daemon uses the home directory entry from the visible
etc/passwd file. This means the /home/users/etc/passwd in my example.
It also means the home must be _locally_ correct. In my example, I need
to remove the /home/users prefix from the local etc/passwd file.

# /etc/ftpaccess

# Restrict all users to their home directories.
restricted-uid *

- Be happy. Dance in the streets.
