"Lock up" not implying a SEGV?  Interesting.
The default inactivity timeout is 15 minutes (which seems rather long);
does anything clear up after that time has passed?

Your ls -l is not working. I would conclude that your built in ls is
working, but the one in your ~ftp/bin is not, ie. you need to build a
static version or get all the appropriate lib files put in ~ftp/lib.

Folks -

Recently I got and compiled wu-ftpd (beta2) and am having the following
problems:


1. my /var/log/xferlog is not being created (or if I create it by hand
[ even with 666 as the perms ] not being written to). ckconfig says
all is well.

2.  No messages are being displayed (via ftpaccess):

readme  README*    login
readme  README*    cwd=*

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

I'm running Linux 1.3.96, libc-5.3.12

I will provide any more information that is needed. Thanx!


Shin!

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Sender: jason@parsnip
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

     I haven't gone through all the code for the daemon, but I have a 
question I hope someone has the answer to.  How does wu-ftpd handle the 
connections?  In other words, if there are 50 connections ranging from T3 
access to the internet to a 14.4 dial-up PPP account, how does wu-ftp 
handle the throughput to them?  Will the T3 get most of the bandwidth 
while the 14.4 PPP gets the scraps?
     I'm trying to determine why our ftp server is getting so many 
complaints about it's slowness when our hardware and connection isn't the 
problem (sparc 20 with 256MB RAM and a T3 to the internet).  We have 
notice that we sporadically saturate out 10BaseT interface but we haven't 
hit our limit of 50 concurrent connections.
     How do large sites handle many connections and not sacrifice too 
much speed?  We'd like to up our concurrent connections to about 
150-200.  Do we need to change our hardware configurations any?  Or do we 
need to tweak our ftp server?  And if so...how?
     Thanks in advance for listening to my ramblings.  I'd appreciate any 
help you can give me.

ah, the joys of compiling source code on sgi...

Yes I too croaked when compiling wu-ftpd 2.4 on the sgi irix 5.3., Yet it
compiled find on many of our other unix platforms...

anyway, try the newer wu-ftpd (with virtual patch). It compiled great.  I did
have to manually run the newvers.sh script, this makes a file: vers.c .

You can find the beast @ anonymous ftp:

ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11.tar.Z

Before I found the 2.4.2 beta, I used a 2.4 inst kit for irix 5.3 I found
from a gov site (but if you're like me, I'm a little skitty about 
pre-compiled binaries).  If you would like this, let me know... I'll digup
where I found it or give you access to the copy I have...

good luck,
kevin

Jason,

First off, it seems like your botttleneck is the 10BASE T connection to your 
Sparc20.  The T3 connections
can only communicate as fast as your slowest link(i.e. the 10BASE T)  So that 
means you are only getting
about 10 MB/s (theoretically; you will really get only 5 - 7MB/s) of throughput 
to any ftp session
no matter what the speed is.  Obviously a 1400 PPP connection is going to be 
slower than a T3.    If you are already seeing 
periods where the 10BASE T is saturated, then you should probably explore how 
that link is getting filled
up like large file download or other internal user loads.  Wu-ftpd does not 
manage ethernet loads or balancing, nor
is it concerned with the speeds of the connections made to it.  It really has 
no way of knowing that stuff.  It will transmit
as fast as the link will allow.

Hope this helps,

Subject: How does wu-ftpd handle connections?

     I haven't gone through all the code for the daemon, but I have a 
question I hope someone has the answer to.  How does wu-ftpd handle the 
connections?  In other words, if there are 50 connections ranging from T3 
access to the internet to a 14.4 dial-up PPP account, how does wu-ftp 
handle the throughput to them?  Will the T3 get most of the bandwidth 
while the 14.4 PPP gets the scraps?
     I'm trying to determine why our ftp server is getting so many 
complaints about it's slowness when our hardware and connection isn't the 
problem (sparc 20 with 256MB RAM and a T3 to the internet).  We have 
notice that we sporadically saturate out 10BaseT interface but we haven't 
hit our limit of 50 concurrent connections.
     How do large sites handle many connections and not sacrifice too 
much speed?  We'd like to up our concurrent connections to about 
150-200.  Do we need to change our hardware configurations any?  Or do we 
need to tweak our ftp server?  And if so...how?
     Thanks in advance for listening to my ramblings.  I'd appreciate any 
help you can give me.

Using wu-ftpd, I'm trying to set up guest accounts such that they get
chroot'ed to their home dir.  The following line is from the passwd
file:

ftptest:*:19:26:ftptest account:/usr/users/ftptest/./:/etc/ftponly

When I ftp into the system as ftptest, ftpd puts me in /usr/users/ftptest
as it should but I can cd .. and end up in /usr/users.  Somehow, the
chroot is done to /usr/users.  anonymous ftp, on the same system, is 
working correctly.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I apologize if this has been asked before, but it doesn't look like this list 
is archived....

I just upgraded from 2.4.2 wu-ftpd to 2.4.2b11. We require logging for various 
reasons, but I'm unable to get any log messages to be stored. Could someone 
help me out?

ckconfig says:

Checking _PATH_XFERLOG :: /usr/local/logs/xferlog
ok.

(I touched that file, to see if it needed to be created before wu-ftpd would 
open it, but that didn't fix it.)

The permissions are as follows:

-rw-rw-r--   1 root     sys            0 May 01 15:43 xferlog

The old version logged to /usr/adm/xferlog, but that file isn't getting the 
log messages either. 

Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

If it's relevant, I'm running under AIX 4.1.4, compiling with IBM C for AIX.

Thanks,

 -Harlan

The usual answer for this is that there isn't a -a on the command line
when calling from /etc/inetd.conf (I also had it fail because I call
ftpd from tcp_wrappers and had an extra ftpd on the command line after
the /usr/local/etc/ftpd.  Here's what we have that works:
ftp	stream tcp nowait NOLUID /usr/local/etc/tcpd /usr/local/etc/ftpd -a -l -L

Don't have a clue. But I'm seeing the exact same thing as
you. However, I am running it on Linux 1.3.97, so at least I know it's
apparently not system related.

This is killing me.  I have tried everything and no libraries seem
to be missing and I have gone over and over the setup but my test
ftponly user with limited access is screwy.  As I said I can see
the items in the directory with a text based ftp client (directly
from a unix shell using ftp blah.blah.blah or the Windows 95 text
based ftp client) but when using Fetch on the mac or WS_FTP on
windows everything works, get the welcome message, correctly
limits user to their directory, and user can rename,delete,put,get
all files but cannot see any of them in the directory.

I can't stand it.  Something so simple and yet it refuses to work!
Bleh.

Any input would be appreciated.

Most likely you're missing some library in /usr/lib (chrooted area).
Check /var/adm/messages.If your binaries in /bin needs share libs do ldd
on the bin to see what libs it uses and copy that to the /usr/lib in
chrooted area.

I was just having this problem....  Are you starting ftpd with the -a option?
 It used to be the default, but no longer.  Also, if you start it with the -d
option, just about everything gets logged in your SYSLOG file.

Try setting up the login shell for ftponly users to be /etc/passwd.
Users logging in via telnet can change their password but can do

nothing else.

There may be security implications beyond the obvious problem of
being forced to allow incoming telnet access. 

Anyone care to comment?

Users could change their passwords using e-mail programs that support
the Eudora protocols (which are extremely simple).  It wouldn't be
difficult to handle this with an http form and proper cgi script
either (I think I've seen postings about people who have done this).

When I compiled the pwserve program for SCO Unix, I limited it so that
it will not allow password changes for root and other administrative
accounts via the server, and I further restrict access to it via
tcp_wrappers and router filtering just to be on the safe side.

Ok...ok... <grin>. Yes, the -a flag is no longer the default <sheepish
grin>

But I've noticed another bug .... if I set up group access, no, let me
rephrase that, if I UNCOMMENT the "private yes" flag in ftpaccess,
wu.ftpd segfaults (11) INSTANTLY when receiving the username. If I
comment it back out, then everything works cool (except for private
group access, of course).

Any ideas?

Hello,

I am using wu-ftpd2.4 under Solaris2.4. I have setup a
group field in the ftpgroups file. However, whenever
I do a site group command I get an invalid command from
the ftp client. Does the ftp client have to support this
mechanism?

What I want is to have people anonymous in and change there
effective user and group ids. Seemed like this was the way.
Is there a better way.

Scott

Forgive me if I missed this in the FAQ...but I have a straightforward 
question about xferlogs.  Does this only log SUCCESSFUL transactions?  In 
other words, if a user crashes in the middle of a dl/ul will it still be 
logged?  We're trying to get as much info from the stats as we can and 
this would help us a lot.  Thanks in advance.

Scott,

You are correct that the client must support the site command.  However
by using the quote command you can send the command to the daemon process
from the client, even if the client doesn't support it directly.  Try the 
following:

quote site group ...

Also, if you say 'help' you typically get the help for the client.  If you
do 'quote help' you get the commands supported by the server.

Greetings -
   Has anyone ported wu-ftpd to SVR4?  I've spent the past week tinkering
with release 2.4 on our servers, running AT&T SVR4 MP-RAS.  There appears
to be some consideration given - as evidenced by the #define SVR4 - but
quite a bit is missing.
   Any information would be appreciated; thanks in advance.

Rick

Hi:

   I'm using Wu-ftpd 2.4 and it works great. But I'm trying to configure
a user with password do permit only him to upload. Anyone can give me the
guidelines or maybe there is a FAQ somewhere ?

Thanks a lot!
Helio.

Yah! You can do this (I do), In your Makefile place 

-DILLEGAL_DIRENT_ACCESS

And all will compile fine

There is a FAQ at http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html

It doesn't answer this question directly though.

I am trying to get wu-ftpd 2.4 running on a Sparc5 Solaris 2.3 --
with Sun's Recommended Cluster patches.  And need some help
 
Basically, the daemon won't let any one in -- real users or 
anonymous.  Here is a sample log
 
haohui@test01:~$ ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.
179992 test01
Name (localhost:haohui): 
180912 haohui
Login failed.
ftp> 187912 K value
haohui@test01:~$ 
 
 
And following is in the syslog 
 
May  2 15:40:22 test01 ftpd[28397]: QUIT
May  2 15:40:22 test01 ftpd[28397]: FTP session closed
May  2 15:40:25 test01 ftpd[28400]: USER haohui
May  2 15:40:27 test01 ftpd[28400]: QUIT
May  2 15:40:27 test01 ftpd[28400]: FTP session closed
 
I notice that the numeric codes outputed by ftpd is funny.
Normally you'd see:
        220 prod01 FTP server (UNIX(r) System V Release 4.0) ready.
But in my case:
        179992 test01
 
What is this number printed before the banner?
 
thanks in advance

First of all, did this list just die or am I not subscribed to it any
more?  I haven't heard a thing recently, but I certainly thought I was
subscribed! 

With beta 10 I'm having a bit of problem with the "upload" ACLs.  I have 
the following:

upload  /hack/ftp   *             yes     user grp 0644 dirs
upload  /hack/ftp   /incoming     yes     user grp 0400 nodirs
upload  /hack/ftp   /bin          no
upload  /hack/ftp   /etc          no

It seems that the "nodirs" directive on the /incoming line sticks to all
the others; I cannot create directories in the root account if nodirs is
defined on the /incoming line.  Looks like the code has changed in this
area due to a CERT advisory, but I've not had time to sort through it all
yet. 

Please reply to me directly also.  TIA,

   -- Michael

here is what ckconfig said:

Checking _PATH_FTPUSERS :: /usr/ftp/etc/ftpusers
ok.

Checking _PATH_FTPACCESS :: /usr/ftp/etc/ftpaccess
ok.

Checking _PATH_PIDNAMES :: /var/run/ftp.pids-%s

Checking _PATH_FTPHOSTS :: /usr/ftp/etc/ftphosts
ok.




Wierd thing though I can not seem to find the PID files in /var/run/

They are no where to be found..

I think this might be the problem...

Here is what I get when using ftpwho

nucleus# ./ftpwho

Service class local:
   -   0 users ( 20 maximum)

Service class anonymouses:
   -   0 users ( 10 maximum)


Yet there are people on my FTP Server...

Subject: wu-ftpd 2.4.2 Beta 11 and S/Key seg vees
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN


	Hello,

	I'm trying to compile wu-ftpd 2.4.2b11 with S/Key support and 
I've been unable to get a working version.  AltaVista had only this 
list as something to do with wu-ftpd and skey, and I was unable to find
any archive of it on the listserver, so I'm going to barge right in and
ask away.  Please forgive me if this has been covered before.  I'm using
gcc-2.7.2 under Solaris 2.5, for what its worth.

	My questions in summary are as follows:
	1) Is anyone successfully using beta 11 with skey?
	2) If so, where did you get your skey from?
	3) Are the issues with skey that aren't particularly discussed
in the files of the beta 11 distribution?

	Now, in detail, is the story of the difficulties I'm having.

	I'm using the wu-ftpd beta 11 from ftp.academ.com, and I'm 
using the S/Key from Wietse Venema's logdaemon-5.1 package.  The first
problems I hit are in the compile stage, with src/ftpd.c.  It includes
skey.h twice, as such:

First, around line 238:
#ifdef SKEY                     /* H* add-on.  Not as elegant as Wietse's */
#include "skey.h"               /* logdaemon package, but does the job.   */
struct skey skey_blk;
char chbuff[80];
#endif

Secondly, around line 331:
#ifdef SKEY
#include <skey.h>
int     pwok = 0;
#endif

This second include won't work with the include file copied to src 
(as the instructions in FIXES-2.4-HOBBIT say to do); if you add -L.
to LFLAGS in the src/Makefile, then you have multiple definitions,
so I just commented out the second #include.

	After this was done, it would compile, but would die with
a segmentation violation right after the user entered the password.
Using gdb, I found the problem was the following line, around line
1300 of ftpd.c, in function pass:

        strcpy (xpasswd, "wrongo:spazmoid");  /* disable regular passwds */

	Now, xpasswd starts out as a char *, and is being pointed to the
string ":" by an earlier line:

        xpasswd = skey_crypt(passwd, salt, pw, pwok);
		/* In my execution, skey_crypt is doing 'return ":";' */

	So, it seems to me, ftpd.c shouldn't be trying to strcpy to 
a pointer which points a string literal; under gcc at least, it causes
a segmentation fault.  Also, even if the memory for ":" was malloc'ed,
":" would be too small to hold "wrongo:spazmoid", and it would overwrite
array bounds with undefined results.

	So, by hook or by crook, skey support seems somewhat damned here.
I played with things by replacing the strycpy lines with an equivalent
strdup, and then stepped through, and I'm still not authenticating -- 
the two passwords are very clearly not matching, so I'm getting "login
incorrect," but that's a problem for another day.

	In what may be a related tidbit, the FIXES-2.4.2-BETA-2 
files says the following:
> See FIXES-2.4-HOBBIT for details. Note that there is now SKEY support
> in this release and server that ONLY work for ANONYMOUS ftp can now be
> built. Check the config.h file in the root directory for information
> on this.
	I'm not really sure how to parse the second sentence -- is it
saying s/key support is only for anonymous users?  And if so, does this
still hold at beta 11?

	In general, I'm confused, and would appreciate any help I can
get.

	Thanks in advance,
	gowen -- Greg Owen -- gowen@xis.xerox.com

I recently installed wu-ftpd-2.4 for linux 1.2.13 and I've run into a few
problems...

First, when I do a 'ls' or 'dir' as an anonymous user it doesn't return 
anything.  I can change dirs and get files, but just can't see them.

Second, none of my messages (welcome.msg, .message, README's) show when
logging in or changing directories.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I'm running into a bizarre problem with my normal users.  When they log
into their directory, they can see all of the dot (.) files in there, even
though they don't have read permissions.  For example, a normal user can
see a .rhosts file in their directory with the following permissions:

-r--------   1 root     root          0 May  5 19:29 .rhosts

How is this possible?  I'm using the ls that comes with wu-ftpd.  In
addition to seeing the file, the user can actually  DELETE it with the
command , "del .rhosts"   !!!!  Why is the ftpd user so powerful?  I mean,
if if I did mess up permissions elsewhere (which i don't think I've done),
shouldn't root be the only one who can delete that file, much less see it?

The users are members of a guestgroup so they get chrooted to a directory
when they log in.  This happens with wu-ftpd2.4.2 beta10 on solaris 2.3 and
beta11 on solaris 2.5.

Does anyone know what's up?

It depends on the perms and owner of the directory.  The owner of the 
directory can delete files under it even if they are not owned by this person.
or if the directory has world write perms.

If your OS supports it you might want to look into setting the sticky bit on
the directory.  This would keep people from deleting the files unless they own
them.

Seeing the contents of a directory has to do with the permissions on the
*directory*, not the files in the directory.  Given permissions of rwx, if
the r bit is set for a particular user, users can see all contents
regardless of file settings.  If the w bit is set on a directory, files
can be deleted regardless of permission setting if ownership permits.  The
x bit must be set to access the contents at all. 

You may want to set the sticky bit (1xxx permissions) on the directory so
only the owner of a file can delete it.

Permission to see a file is given by the directory.  Permission to read
a file is given by the file.  Just because a file isn't readable doesn't
mean the user can't see it, and visa-versa.

If you want to keep a user from seeing a file, you need to remove read
permission from that directory. 

For ftp, you could also make the anonymous directory something other than
the ftp account's home directory.

Again, this has to do with the directories permissions.  If a user has
write access on a directory, he can delete the files in that directory,
regardless of ownership or permission.

-]The users are members of a guestgroup so they get chrooted to a directory
-]when they log in.  This happens with wu-ftpd2.4.2 beta10 on solaris 2.3 and
-]beta11 on solaris 2.5.

A solution for your problem would be to chroot the user into something other
than the guest's home directory, say ~guestid/ftp.  This would allow you to
separate out what is ftp accessable and what is not for those account,
includning the dot files.

Subject: Mac Fetch can't see files

Hi,

I am running wu 2.4.2 beta 11 on a solaris 2.5 machine, and beta10 on a
solaris 2.3 machine.  My problem is, if I use the ls that's built into
wu-ftpd, or if I use a statically compiled ls, then anyone who tries to
access their accounts using Fetch 3.0 on the Macintosh can't see any files
in their directory.  Everything is fine if I have a dynamically linked
version of ls in there though.  Things also work fine if I just use "ftp"
from the command line on a unix box.

Does anyone know what's I can do to fix this?

I asked this question about a month ago (with no response).

Can anyone tell me (or give specific example) of how to get multiple
ftp sites in one physical server using wuftp?

Example:

	Server Name	ftp Directory
	ftp.ff2.com	/servers/ff2/usr/ftp
	ftp.oryx.com	/servers/oryx/usr/ftp
	ftp.disknee.com	/server/disknee/ftp

These would all reside on one physical machine...how is it done?

PS - I already have multiple domain names resolving to an IP address 
within the machine for http purposes (virtual servers).

Thanx,
RAK

I'm running  beta 10  

this from my ftpaccess file 

virtual 204.209.167.13 root    /export/home/virtual/upi
virtual 204.209.167.13 banner  /export/home/virtual/vmsgs/banner.upi
virtual 204.209.167.13 logfile /export/home/virtual/vlogs/xferlog.upi

if you are running solaris  you need  to setup another ftp directory
with all the bin,etc,dev,usr don't forget the zero files

Hi,

Got 2 Question's:

1. Running BETA 11 with Linux 1.3.98, it can not be compiled
due a error in glob.c

glob.c: In function `matchdir':
glob.c:284: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
make: *** [glob.o] Error 1


2. does the virtual option allow site's passwd file
such as:

virtual 10.10.10.110 passwd  /export/home/virtual/etc/passwd
So we can control access, something like virtual host x
can only be access by user A, host y by user b


Anybody has a solution for this?, thnz

Kind regards,
Luc

So digged the sources and header files
I added the following in the src/Makefilei : -DIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS
And all OK now.

Try setting -DDIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS in your makefile and
recompiling. Or putting

#define DIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS 

at the top of glob.c (and some other places I don't remember).

Subject: ftp conversions
X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN


Hello everyone!

I've recently installed wu-ftp version 2.4 on a Sun Sparc 10
running Solaris 2.4.

The file conversions aren't working properly and I don't know
why!?!  I've read the FAQ and the man pages (I think)....

I seem to have all of the required libraries and I have tested
the commands in the <wu-ftp-home>/bin directory using the chroot
command.

I have looked at the /etc/ftpaccess and /etc/ftpconversions files
and tried to make changes there but to no avail!

Here is the problem.  I start up an anonymous ftp session and cd
to the ``pub'' directory.  I type ``dir'' to get a directory listing
and then type ``get <filename>''.  This works fine.

However, if I type ``get <filename>.Z'', or ``get <filename>.gz'', or
``get <filename>.tar'', or any combination of these, I get a file not
found error.

Can anybody help?  Perhaps some example ftpconversions and ftpaccess
files would help.  Have I forgotten something?

Manfred.

Anyone experienced this?

I have just compiled a new version (2.4) and everything except the following
seems to work OK:

The problem is after one transfer the server disconnects the client.  The
transfer itself works OK, and the problem ALWAYS happens after one transfer.
The size of the file does not matter.

Hi

I am new to this list, so please excuse me if this has already been =

I run WU_FTP 2.4 under DU 3.2D. This seems to have been configured =
correctly, in that  it functionally works. I have no problems using all =
the features available.=20

However, when I attempt to transfer large files, the transfer hangs. The =
symptoms show up as:
	=09
	Initially the transfer is very fast, then slows down until it hangs.

Has anyone else seen this happen , do I need to increase some buffering =
parameter, or is there a patch to this?

Any help appreciated.

Sounds like 'ls' is running wu-ftpd's internal version of ls.  The 'ls -la' 
is definitely running /bin/ls, and that is what is faulting.  You may
be missing some dynamic libraries or some such thing.

Subject: Bug: Dirs. created w/ mkdir should have the owner/group of new files.
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

Given this specification for the incoming directory,
  upload  /var/ftp  /incoming       yes  ftp  astro  0666
a new directory created in /incoming with mkdir should have owner ==
'ftp' and group == 'astro', just like new uploaded files.

At our site FTP users have the group "ftp"; we're reluctant to give
them the group "astro" because that implies certain privileges.  We
specify that any files they upload will have group == 'astro',
however, so that any of our users can delete them -- this works great.
The problem comes when they create directories with mkdir.  Then the
directories have group == 'ftp' and can only be deleted by our
overworked sysadmin.

Thanks for your time (and for creating and making available this great
package).

In relation to the problem below,  is there a way to compile a STATIC ls
that will allow you to do ls -la
or ls -lR ?  My core is also getting dumped when I do ls -l on a STATICALLY
compiled ls.  I'm on Solaris 2.x.
Thanks!

Using gcc, just add the '-static' flag.  Not sure of other compilers. 
Static utilities are *much* simpler to use, and if you need multiple
instances for multiple guest logins just use hard links to a single file.

Subject: Tar/Compress options don't work
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

I have wu-ftpd 2.4, and the tar/compress options do not work.

With this directory entry:

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     sys       280700 Dec  9  1994 TIFF6.ps.Z

I type:

ftp> get TIFF6.ps

and the computer says:

200 PORT command successful.
550 TIFF6.ps: No such file OR directory.

The relevant portions of my ftpaccess/ftpconversions follow:

--------------------
class   local   real,guest,anonymous *.domain 0.0.0.0
class   remote  real,guest,anonymous *

limit   local    50   Any              /etc/msgs/msg.dead
limit   remote   50   Any              /etc/msgs/msg.dead

compress	yes 		local remote
tar 		yes 		local remote
-------------------
 :.Z::         :/bin/compress -d -c %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:UNCOMPRESS
 :  :  :.Z     :/bin/compress -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:COMPRESS
-------------------

Also, I have this bin directory:

d--x--x--x   3 root     bin         1024 May  8 22:10 bin

which includes:

---x--x--x   1 root     bin        24576 Apr 24 20:10 compress
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     bin           24 Apr 24 20:10 ftp-exec
---x--x--x   1 root     bin       172032 Apr 24 20:10 ls

Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi pat,

There is something I could suggest: with only 24KB your "compress" binary 
could be a shared binary. If that's the case, then you need to have the 
right libs in your ~ftp/lib directory. Example:

palanthas:~/scripts# ldd ~ftp/bin/compress 
        libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.6pl27) => /lib/libc.so.4.6.27

palanthas:~/scripts# ls -l ~ftp/lib 
total 447
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     wheel          17 Sep 25  1995 ld-linux.so.1 -> 
ld-linux.so.1.6.5*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     wheel       19543 Sep 25  1995 ld-linux.so.1.6.5*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     wheel       20484 Sep 16  1995 ld.so*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     wheel          14 Mar 26 00:02 libc.so.4 -> 
libc.so.4.6.27*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     wheel      634880 Sep 14  1995 libc.so.4.6.27*

(that was under Linux with wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11).

This could or could not fix your problem, but if everything else works 
fine, then it's something I'd check. You may also want to check if 
get dir.tar works or does not work. I hope this helps a little.

I think you may be right about the shared library part. I am working
under HPUX 9.03, an important fact I neglected to mention. The
compress binary has references to dld.sl, but I can't find any
equivalent program to ldd on HPUX.

Here is the rub, though; I had this working before, albeit with some
problems, but the programs were at least executed.  Same binaries and
everything. The problem then was something else, but at least the FTP
server tried to _start_ compress. It did the whole "opening pipe from
/bin/compress" bit. With no error messages now, I am almost positive
that the FTP server is not even attempting to run compress, but just
failing when it is supposed to be resolving the filename. (I checked
my ftpdlog and syslog.) When I test it, I get:

ftp> get welcome.msg.Z
200 PORT command successful.
550 welcome.msg.Z: No such file OR directory.

and:

ftp> get pub.tar
200 PORT command successful.
550 pub.tar: No such file OR directory.

Why isn't it even TRYING?

	Just a guess, but is your ftpconversions file in the right place,
right permissions, etc.  Try the ckconfig program to check the path, and
also check the permissions.

I've already compiled with the -static flag, but the ls -la doesn't work.
Does anyone know if I need to make modifications to the ls.c source or
something?

Can anyone tell me what the "deny" specification in the ftpaccess file
actually does?  I set the deny to !nameservd which I thought would deny 
access from hosts that have an invalid IP address-to-name mapping in DNS.
I guess I want to know what is considered an invalid mapping.

Thanks.

We're having a problem with passive mode ftp. Clients trying to connect 
in passive mode get the following error:

#DB# rsp: 425 Trying, but can't open passive connection: Permission denied.

Does anyone out there have any experience with this kind of thing? We 
don't have any firewalls here so I've never had to deal with passive ftp 
modes and I'm feeling pretty clueless.

Yes, I too have the same problem. I wish I knew how to easily determine the libraries needed so
I would know which ones to put in ~ftp/lib .

Also, I would like to get the source and make a statically linked version.

The new question arises: If ftpd needs static-ls or copies of libs, how will that affect memory
usage? I assume that the first daemon will be the culprit and additional sessions will share it.
My speculation is that perhaps a static-ls will be worse for multiple sessions if not compiled
and linked properly. It would be great if somebody could tell us a safe way to use the ls and
lib files that are already on the system before adding ftpd.

! READ ON - PERHAPS I CAN DO MY PART !

About me - I do have a background that precedes PC's. I did HW products and wrote device
support for it on UNIX and other OS's in the 80's.

I am running Slackware 3.0 Linux and wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 11 . I have the latest NCSA httpd on 
my LAN and am using it to "test drive" my pages/cgi/perl before I ship it to the live server.
However, as soon as my local backwoods Telecom company gets up to date, I will be putting my
wtop.com domain here with www, ftp, mail and more. This domain is intended to be technically
oriented. The first topics addressed are outlined herein.

WOPL's WELL ORDERED PROCEDURE LISTS
I have wound up with 2 Slackware CD's in order to get the books they came with. Both books
have deficiencies. I am the type that can usually get started with a single checklist and
do the customizing later. I will be posting pages at wtop.com with the proper procedure
explained for many common setups. Links to common definitions and subprocedures would be
a nice touch.

here is a good example of time and money misallocated

book1 - the CD includes a "security fixed" version of wu-ftpd. Necessary lines in
	/etc/inetd.conf
	/etc/passwd
	/etc/group
are not given, even though the default files created from same CD need changes.
Book says to simply copy /bin/ls and chmod, chown it.

book2 - better but says to maybe put libc.so.1 and rld into the ~ftp/lib directory and
make a ~ftp/dev/zero device(rld needs it). I have no rld lib on my system. Says to do
this step only if ls requires it. Debug logging shows zip.

Neither book tells me how to just get an obedient and unsecure ftpd up. I just want to
move CD and internet-obtained files over the LAN and get this box configured. Right now,
I can do that by typing each cd and stor command. I then switch to my open telnet window
and move,make, etc.

Neither book tells me how to deal with the Slackware trans.tbl files easily. These are
the files that map the CD(msdos) files to the linux destination. I will have to write
some perl to do this and post it.

Neither book tells me that some ln -s commands may be required to make wu-ftpd. I had
just trimmed my kernel and had to figure out which links to restore before I could
compile wu-ftpd.

CRAM's COMMONLY REPEATED EMAIL ANSWERS
Looking at the archived messages from this and other lists, I can see how it would be easier
to reply with a URL to many common questions e.g. "try http://www.wtop.com/wu-ftpd/foo-111 for
that one"

BGHOS Bill-ionare Gates HALL OF SHAME (pronounced bug-Oh-ess)
I have been severely burned more than once by Microsoft crapware. I am trying to eliminate
all of it from my LAN. I notice that as I move functions off of WFWG/W95 boxes, they don't need
rebooting as often. The only application that seems to run OK for extended periods is a simple
screen saver. 

FREE SOFTWARE ADVOCACY
Interesting that Slackware 3.0 correctly probes my ports and finds the right IRQ's.
Microsoft does not. The "average" user could not get $25 NE2000 cards working with
MS based OS's easily. Even if he could, MS products are resource pigs. My old 386
is now "serving" me with linux.

People, I will be bringing up topoftheworld.com and wtop.com in the next few days. Visit
often and let me know what is needed.

For linux, use 'ldd' to see what libraries are needed.

For Solaris, use 'truss'.

Not sure of other OSes.

Well done! It's working! Only took a few minutes!

I have pasted in the stuff from my telnet window.

boonies:/home/ftp/lib# ldd -vVrd /bin/ls
ldd: version 1.7.3
/lib/ld.so: version 1.7.3
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.0.9
boonies:/home/ftp/lib#                

By typing man ldd, I was able to get an idea of the linux loader libraries required:

       For  ELF  programs,  ldd forks and execs each program with
       the  appropriate  environment  variables  set.   The   ELF
       dynamic  linker,  ld-linux.so,  which  normally  loads the
       shared libraries, notices this special case and prints the
       dependencies.
The closest match I found was ld-linux.so.1

boonies:/home/ftp/lib# cp /lib/ld.so .
boonies:/home/ftp/lib# cp /lib/libc.so.5 .
boonies:/home/ftp/lib# cp /lib/ld-linux.so.1 .
boonies:/home/ftp/lib# ls -l
total 598
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        20722 May 11 18:13 ld-linux.so.1*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        20484 May 11 18:07 ld.so*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       562683 May 11 18:10 libc.so.5*
boonies:/home/ftp/lib#

I switched to the ftp window and connected, got a listing now. Went ahead and copied a whole directory
structure over to test.

I will put all this up in HTML and post the URL. If anybody wants pretty graphics take some
Magic Markers and draw on your screen.

You can use ldd also on solaris2 and some other SVR4-Unixes (not all but most
of them). On SGI's with IRIX5 theres no ldd and no truss. Use "par -s -SS"
and check the output for loaded files.
Additional you can do a "chroot /your/ftp/home /bin/ls" and check the error
messages.
A good hint I think is to read the manuals for the system-ftpd. In all manpages
Isee there is a description how th set up a chroot-directory for ftpd.

I see the same problem on a our server ftp.mch.sni.de. After some searching
the solution was very easy. To use PASV you need ~/dev/tcp in the change
root directory. As in the manual-page for ftpd mentioned i create it,
but forget to set the write permissons for all.
Maybe the same problem for you. The permission denied is the resulting
error-message, because ftpd wants to access ~/dev/tcp for writing without
permission.

hope this helps ....

   Hi,

  I'm trying to set up a guest ftp account that behaves in the following 
manner:

   chroot to a specified directory for the guest account.
   does not let user "cd .." or "cd /" from the "new" root directory.

  I tried to set up this guest account in the same manner as the anonymous
ftp. In other words, I created the user account, set up a home directory,
created the dev, bin, usr/bin, usr/lib, etc and pub directories in this home
directory and put the appropriate files in them (following the anonymous ftp
model).
  Well, seems almost everything works fine, except for one thing:

   When I log in as this "user" and type PWD, I get back "/home/user" instead
of just "/". This means that the user can CD .. and CD / from this subdirectory
and go lower in the directory hierarchy. This is bad.

  I've seen ftp's for this type of guest accounts work, and chroot people to
a certain directory (an unique directory for each guest) and not let them leave
their tree.

  If anyone has *any* insight on how can I set this up right, please reply
to my email address! It is nelson@domain.com.br

  Many thanks!

     Hi all,
     
     I browsed the FAQ and various other resources but didn't find an
     answer. Maybe one of you can help me with this problem:
     
     As far as I understand it, we at HP use a circuit level gateway (the 
     SOCKS package) to reach hosts outside our closed subnet. This usually 
     works fine; however I do have problems with ftp servers that run the 
     wu-ftpd program.
     I frequently (not always!) get 'Illegal PORT command' messages when I 
     try to upload files to such servers.
     
     Do you have an explanation for this behaviour ? If so, would you share 
     it with me ;-) ? Is there a workaround/solution to the problem ?

The wu-ftpd package checks for attempts to make it connect to ports < 1024.
This could be used as trick to hack systems that trust the host wu-ftpd runs
on.

A 'fix' would be to fix SOCKS to allways use ports > 1024 for ftp uploads.

I am putting the finishing touches on the wuftp installation on an AIX 3.2.5 
system.  I've seen a number of inquiries on correcting the time stamp for 
the "ls -l" for Solaris, but nothing for AIX.  I had located a file 
"/usr/lpp/dcebase/inst_root/etc/zoneinfo" and copied it to a duplicate 
structure in /usr under the ~ftp directory with no results.  Additionally, I 
have noticed the the logging that occurs in the "xferlog" is recording an 
erroneous time when transmissions occur.  I assume that these are both 
related.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks much,

I have compiled Wuftpd without error on Solaris 2.5 with the -DVIRTUAL
and I try to connect to the virtual ftp host and I get the real ftp host, 
does anyone have this working on 2.5? (I have added the virtual 
section in my /etc/ftpaccess)

The only problems I had with ftpcmd.y under linux were caused by not having yacc on the system.
The build wanted a yacc binary and bison(yacc replacement) did things differently. Making a
copy of the bison binary as yacc caused all kinds of error messages. Finding the actual yacc
binary and installing it solved the problem under linux. Bison also was generating a different
output file name than the subsequent build steps were looking for.

You should check the AIX version of the build. If it needs yacc then be certain that a true
yacc is available.

Hope it helps.

Sounds like you're using either the wu-ftpd2.4 release of the
wu-ftpd2.4-academ release and not one of the newer Beta versions (also
from Academ).  Check the FAQ for information on the latest versions.

Before 'build aix', make sure that line 18 of src/config/config.h is:
  #undef  SETPROCTITLE

Then 'build aix' and you're all set.  The latest beta (Academ-v11)
includes this fix (in a different way).  Just edit src/pathnames.h,
then 'build aix'.

Try this to solve your problem. I read it last week in the searchable
archives of the mailing list from WUARCHIVE-FTPD. I did it with success.

(The solution is from: Shane Castle swcxt@boco.co.gov).

Frequently, the SETPROCTITLE definition causes wu-ftpd to destroy all
environment variables, including the TZ environment variable.  If the
TZ environment variable is destroyed then all routines that display
time will use the actual recorded time (GMT) and never convert it to
local time.  Before you do the 'build aix' step, undefine SETPROCTITLE
by changing the following line in the src/config/config.aix file from:
     #define SETPROCTITLE
to:
     #undef  SETPROCTITLE

Apparently (at least under Linux) the order of the statements in the
ftpcmd.y are a lot more strict. I know *nothing* about yacc, but what
I did was to take th areas that were causing the errors and
move them below the definitions ... (I know, that's a clumsy way of
saying that, but like I said, I know *nothing* about yacc).

After that, my 'bison -y' worked fine.

Shin!

Junlei,

I believe the only way to tell if a connection originates from an DNS
served site is to do a reverse query of the IP address and get the
actual host name.  If you can't to a reverse query, then your name is 
not registered so access would be denied.

But this is just a guess on my part.

I compiled wuftp with the -DVIRTUAL and it compiled without errors on 
Solaris 2.5 but it isn't working. Has anyone has success with this?

Hello,

I have recently installed wu-2.4(1) on a Solaris 2.3 box and have been 
running it on separate ports for testing.  It has not been recognizing 
the site command and when I enter "help", it appears to be listing the 
commands for the other ftp daemon.  Any suggestions on where to start 
looking for an answer?

ftpgroups file has: name-ftp:Password:name

ftpaccess file has: private yes

group file has entries for the actual groups

Many thanks.

Patrick,

Have you been doing 'quote help' as opposed to just 'help'?  The same
goes for the site command.  Try 'quote site' rather than just 'site'.

Hi.. hope someone can help.. 
I have wu-ftpd 2.4 running fine.  I have a user
ID defined as "interim" this ID works just like
an anonymous ftp user except for one thing:

I would like the users password to be a E-mail address
just like anonymous ftp.  Right now I have to put in
a password.  All the permissions and the chroot are working
fine.

Thanks for any help..

Steve

Steve

I don't have a solution to your problem.  Rather, I would like to have
your "problem".

We would like to add a user that is like anonymous ftp but requires a
password.  In other words, the person can only ftp in and only get files
from that directory and can only move around within that directory (cannot
cd .. to a different disk for example.

Thanks

Jerry

Jerry,

I believe guestgroup was designed to provide just what
you describe below.  See the ftpaccess man page.

I believe "guestgroup" in the ftpaccess file is that for which you are 
looking. Typically, we set up an account (in /etc/passwd) which looks like:

limited:*:1000:2001:FTP only account:/home/limited:/bin/false

then, there should be an entry "/etc/group" like:

onlyftp:*:2001

Finally, a line in "ftpaccess" defining the guest group:

guestgroup onlyftp


*Don't* add your personal account (or any account you wish to have
broader access than their own home directory) to the "localftp" group
(in "/etc/group"), or you'll find your FTP abilities similarly
restricted when FTPing into the machine. Hopefully, I haven't 
forgotten to mention any of the process. Oh yes, the "/etc/passwd"
entry also disallows shell login with "/bin/false" specified as the
shell (on most UNIXen, you'd need to add "/bin/false" to the
"/etc/shells" file -- in some cases you'd need to create  the file
and add the valid shells as well).

My wuftp server is working, but I am having difficulty getting the syslog 
information to be logged to a file.  I am running on AIX 3.2.5 and have the 
following information specified:

in /etc/inetd.conf:

ftp         stream      tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/etc/ftpd     ftpd 
 -l -d

in /etc/syslog.conf:

*.info          /var/adm/syslog.ftp

However, the /var/adm/syslog.ftp file is never created and nothing ever 
logged.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

I think you need to add an -a option to the ftpd command and it will
probably work (it only reads the ftpaccess file when this is used).

Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity.  It
eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the
business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.

susan,

not sure about aix, but syslogd normally needs a sigHUP to tell it to reread
its config file and often requires that the log file exist.

Susan,

I believe that syslogd will not create the files so they must be created
manually.  And make sure the delimeters for syslog.conf are tabs and 
not spaces.  And then signal the syslogd to reread the syslog.conf file. 
I am not certain what else to recommend. 

Jim

You were right - I had to create the syslog file.  But I also received a 
reply reminding me to do an "inetimp" to update the ODM.  Although I had 
refreshed inetd for the "ftpd -l" entry, I had neglected to update the ODM 
database.  Thanks for the assistance.

Ditto to the guestgroup suggestion to resolve this request.  We just 
implemented individual id's with passwords restricted to their own directory 
structures at our site using this feature.  Works beautifully!

I too ran into this problem. The fix appears to be to make the device /dev/tcp
in the chrooted ftp directory writable by the group that ftp belongs to. I 
am unsure at this point what the security issues concerned are.

If anyone has some more insight on that it would be appreciated.

I can connect without a problem if I dont use the ftpaccess file, but 
when I use in.ftpd -a I get the following response:

Connected to posh.internext.com.
220 posh FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-11](1) Tue May 14

Login failed.

I am using the example ftpaccess file (not the .heavy). 

Why does it work fine w/o using the ftpaccess file? How do I correct  this?

The easiest way is to remove or rename /etc/welcome.msg. Then you will
get a simple "version number" message

    I am running beta11.  I was lead to believe that this version
will not leave hung processes around, yet my system is continuing
to show hung processes that are more than a few days old.
 
    Since the whole ftp upload process seems to be enormously
flakey here, I am beset by many such processes every day.
 
    Do I need more than the following to make killing the hung process
thing work?

ftp	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/etc/in.ftpd in.ftpd -a

I am in a pickle. I had anonymous and real FTP working okay. I then
tried to install tcp wrappers. Now, nobody can ftp to my Linux
box. Can anyone suggest a solution?

In inetd.conf I have the following:

ftp  stream  tcp  nowait  root  /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/wu.ftpd  -l -a

Telnet works (but only if my in-telnetd can verify the IP address/host
name by reverse lookup.

Is there any way to disable reverse lookup?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have tried several things,
including the fine manual, but I haven't hit on a solution yet.

When you compile tcpd turn off PARANOID= -DPARANOID in the Makefile.

This should disable hostname lookups altogether.


Here is the piece of the Makefile of importance.


Brian Harvell harvell@iNet.net <a href="http://www.iNet.net/~harvell/">go</a>


####################################################
# Optional: dealing with host name/address conflicts
#
# By default, the software tries to protect against hosts that claim to
# have someone elses host name. This is relevant for network services
# whose authentication depends on host names, such as rsh and rlogin.
#
# With paranoid mode on, connections will be rejected when the host name
# does not match the host address. Connections will also be rejected when
# the host name is available but cannot be verified.
#
# Comment out the following definition if you want more control over such
# requests. When paranoid mode is off and a host name double check fails,
# the client can be matched with the PARANOID access control pattern.
#
# Paranoid mode implies hostname lookup. In order to disable hostname
# lookups altogether, see the next section.

PARANOID= -DPARANOID

########################################
# Optional: turning off hostname lookups
#
# By default, the software always attempts to look up the client
# hostname.  With selective hostname lookups, the client hostname
# lookup is postponed until the name is required by an access control

#
# In order to perform selective hostname lookups, disable paranoid

HOSTNAME= -DALWAYS_HOSTNAME

#
# Optionally, the software tries to protect against hosts that pretend to

#
# The protection is effective only when the offending host claims to have

#
# My site has been running rlogind and rshd daemons that implement this

#
# This feature cannot be used with SunOS 4.x because of a kernel bug in

I wasnt clear enough, I am NOT admin on the machine I wanna override the file
on, I am a simple user and have a ftp dir which I wanna have my own welcome
in and not the machines welcome.

I have the logdaemon ftpd, which automatically makes anon incoming files
mode 0044, owner ftp, group daemon, or whatever user/group is defined for
anon logins.  Obviously, this has some advantages in preventing an anon ftp
server from being used to pirate software, etc., since the anon login can't
read files it has uploaded, or directories it has created (but everyone else
can).

I can't seem to get this same behavior for the wu-ftpd 2.4, however.  When I
try, it creates the file, but then it's unable to write data to it and the
upload fails with a 0 byte file left behind.

Any tips?

.
	I would like to set up a single Solaris-2.4 system to
	have multiple anonymous wu-ftp areas that users are 
	directed to depending on domain name and/or IP address.
	For example:
	    * An anon wu-ftp connection from abc.xyz.com will have
		a chroot'ed home of /ftp-dirs/xyz.com
	    * An anon wu-ftp connection from one.two.com will have
		a chroot'ed home of /ftp-dirs/two.com
	    etc....

	Solaris 2.4 has the ability to configure and support
	muiltiple IP addresses per network interface, and I
	could use a TCP wrapper to figure out the domain name
	and/or IP address, but I am not sure where/how to hand
	things off after that.

	Has anyone done something similar or have any suggestions.

	I don't know if this is possible (or makes sense), but
	could a custom wu-ftpd be configured for each seperate
	ftp area, that would communicate over designated
	ports?  If so, would it make sense to only re-map the 
	connection port (default 21) and leave the data port on
	default port 20?  Are there any security issues that I 
	might be missing here?

	Any information would be appreciated.

						Thanks!

David,

What you need to do is get the new Wuftp 2.4.2 beta 11 compile it with 
the -DVIRTUAL in the CFLAGS (in the Makefiles) then you can assign an 
virtual ftp port per ethernet adapter or virtual ethernet adapter. 
In the ftpaccess file you can assign the chroot directory per virtual host, 
see the VIRTUAL.FTP.SUPPORT textfile included in the archive.

You probably use NFS, I guess. If so, check the NFS server export file,
give your ftp server root access.

This may seem to be off topic.  However, I am sure it's of many 
readers' interest.  The most recently Apache web server (1.1 beta)
talks about creating virtual web servers without using different 
IP address and the support of such in the HTTP 1.1.

Now, lots ISPs provide both virtual web server and virtual ftp server
using different IPs.  If the web server side has advanced to such
a stage that the IP hungry scheme won't be necessary, then what about
the virtual FTP side?  the File Transfer Protocal itself is not going
to change much?

Any thoughts?

That is correct, NFS is used and the /home/ftp directory is exported with no
root access, just like all the other /home dirs.  What I don't understand is
why the logdaemon ftpd can do this under the same circumstances, and wu-ftpd
cannot.

I just got wu-ftpd 2.4 and am having some trouble building the server.
This is on SunOS 4.1.3_U1. The log from the attempt to build is as
follows:

Other than modifing pathnames.h, nothing else has been changed. If anyone

appericate it greatly.

Thank you in advance,

This is because ftpd allways does a "fchown". Even the file/dir owner/group
is the same as the ftp user. I did a little hack to ignore the error
returned by fchown to allow the ftpd run correctly without the root access
on the NFS file server. The logdaemon ftpd probably does the same or does not
do fchown.

wu-ftpd tries to change the ownership of the uploaded file (in order to
avoid misuse of the upload dir). Changing the ownership of a file is a
'root' action.

Hrm. Don't think that this is the problem. Check it out:

*shrugs* We've got someone working on it, but since I haven't heard from 
him in a while, I would guess that he's not getting anywhere. Alas.

Scott,
 On SunOS 5.4, Solaris 2, in order to build wu-ftpd 2.4 I had to also make 
changes in src/ftp.c file to include local header found at support/ftp.h 
instead of default system one <arpa/ftp.h>. This ended up resolving 
typename, formnames, strunames, and modenames for me.

I just got wu-ftpd 2.4 and am having some trouble building the server.
This is on SunOS 4.1.3_U1. The log from the attempt to build is as
follows:

----start included log----

ripken% ./build s41
make args are :
make opts are :

*** Error code 1

----end of included log----

Other than modifing pathnames.h, nothing else has been changed. If anyone
else has seen this before or someone can point me to the problem I would
appericate it greatly.

Thank you in advance,
Scott

You're right, logdaemon ftpd doesn't do fchown.  For anonymous logins, it
does this at the end of the login code:

        if (guest)
                defumask |= 0700;
        (void) umask(defumask);
        return;

And of course, ftp is the user who owns the files, but they are mode 0066,
so the ftp user can't read files it has uploaded, but everyone else can.

Hey all, I'm new to this list but I've looked for this problem in the 
FAQ, the man pages, and I can't find a current mailing-list archive and 
I've found nothing really like this.

We're running wu-2.4 on an AIX 4.1.3 server and what I'm trying to do is
give people ftp-only accounts so they can manipulate html files through
ftp.  We have many different users and several different groups who
manipulate these pages, and most of the web directories are owned by
different groups. 

I've set up an ftponly group and added all users that will only be able to
ftp in to that group, in addition to whatever web groups they belong in. 
The users can log in, they're restricted to the appropriate directory
tree, etc.  The problem is that they can only upload to directories which
are owned by their primary group.  They get denied permission messages on
any directories that aren't owned by their primary groups (but _are_ owned
by their secondary groups) It seems that wu-ftp doesn't work with the
notion of allowing one user to exist in several groups at once.  This
presents a problem when we have one user who needs access to many
different directories. 

These are pretty naive users, running macs and pcs.  I don't want to 
require them to do SITE GROUP commands and such.  Is there any way to get 
wu-ftp to exist in several groups at once?

Thanks - Rand

Hi, Everyone.

I am using WUFTP. When I ftp into a user account and try to upload a 
file, I get: 553 Could not determine cwdir: Permission denied.

Any idea for what's wrong?

I am having problems with users being able to delete files they shouldn't
be able to.

The setup is:

guestgroup ftp in ftpaccess

Each user in group ftp has a chroot to their directory and is able to
upload HTML files, etc.

In each user directory are two files which basically describe the users
account for an index system. They both start with a '.' and can be updated
online using a web form; They are owned by root and group sys. The file
permissions are 600. I have also checked the ftpd processes and they are
running as the user.

The problem is that the users are able to delete these files and while this
is not a complete disaster, it is something I wouold like to prevent. I
can't use the 'delete' entry in ftpaccess because they must be able to
delete their own files.

Thankyou in advance
Andrew

Any user can delete any file in a directory that is owned by that user. 
Delete priviledge requires only write priviledges in the directory,
regardless of who owns the file.  You will find that they cannot write to
the dot files owned by root, or rename or copy them, but they can delete
them because they own the directory the files live in.

What you need to do is create a directory owned by root, and put the dot
files in that directory, also owned by root.  The user won't be able to
delete the directory, even though the parent is owned by the user, because
they can't delete the files in the root-owned directory, and they can't
remove a directory unless it is empty.

Andrew,

As someone may have already told you the problem is that the ability to
delete a file is governed by the permissions and owner of the directory
which contains the file, not the file itself.  Change the owner and
permissions of the file to something other than the user(s).  If the user(s)
need to create files in this directory then make the directory writeable
by everyone.  To protect files in this directory from being removed, you
should set the owner of the file(s) to something other than the user and
use the sticky bit in the permissions.  The sticky bit set on a file will
only allow that file to be removed if the owner of the file also owns the
directory, regardless of the directory permissions. 

Jim

Hi,
  I've made a hack to wu-ftpd (I'm using beta10 on AIX 3.2) adding some
more magic cookies. The new cookies can show the state of the users quota
on his home dir. I've added support for SGI and SUN but haven't tested it.
Should be simple to port it.

So the get this output:

230-Disk quotas for user eilon
230-  Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit grace
230-    /home     10300    10000   11000  6.2 days   20      0       0
230-

I create this message:

Disk quotas for user %U
  Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
    /home     %Q    %b   %B  %H   %q      %i       %I      %h

If the is an interest I will post it to the list.

Subject: restricting access to a directory one up from users home
X-Mailer: Forte Agent .99d/32.182
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

hello...

I would like to restrict are clients to a directory one up from their
home directory.  With a directory structure something like this:

#us
/home/trusted_user
#clients
/home/cia/spy1
/home/cia/spy2
/home/cia/spy3
/home/kgb/spy4
/home/kgb/spy5
/home/kgb/spy6

I would like clients spy1, spy2, and spy3 to be able to ftp into thier
respective home directorys but be chroot() 'ed to their company
directory (cia).  The same goes for company kgb and its users spy4,
spy5, and spy6. They ftp in to change their web stuff, but i don't
want spy6 (probably a summer intern) to be able to snoop around in our
system or in the cia company's  stuff. I don't want to restrict them
to their own home directory because spy1 might be responsible for the
web page of spy2 also.  

How are the access permissions set up for this?

(any hints on where to get info on doing the same for telnet would
help too)

thanks in advance

Thanks for the advice. I tried what you suggested, but it seems that they
are also able to rename the directory I used. For the moment I have turned
off rename using ftpaccess, but this is not the best way to go. Do you have
any more ideas?

Many thanks

Oh yeah, they would be able to rename it, wouldn't they?  That only requires
write permission on the parent directory.

The only way to keep it from being tampered with is to put it someplace
else. Or to make their home directory mode 1777 (sticky bit), but then
anybody can put anything in their home directory, and the user can't do a
thing about it.  Not good.

Set /home/cia/./spy[123] as the path for each respective spy in their 
/etc/passwd account.  Set each account up for guest ftp; the /./ 
indicates where the chroot() will be done.

Hi,

   I am currently installing WU-FTPD on my Sparcstation 10 running Solaris 2.5. 
The server is working fine except for the long listing (dir/ls -l) command. I am 
using the GNU ls, and have created the zero and tcp devices in ~ftp/dev. I have 
also added the three libraries (libc.so.1, libdl.so.1, libintl.so.1) into 
~ftp/usr/lib this 'ls' is using (found using truss). Here's what happens:
   
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
bin
etc
pub

.forward
dev
usr
226 Transfer complete.

ftp> ls -l
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete.
ftp> 

   As you can see 'ls' works fine but 'ls -l' does not seem to work. Can anyone 
tell me what I'm missing?? 

THANKS :)

The problem most likely is that you don't have all of the libraries that   
you need. The libraries that I have installed into the FTP tree are   
ld.so.1 libc.so.1 libdl.so.1 libintl.so.1 libw.so.1. Along with the truss   
command another good way to try things out is with the chroot command. So   
to test out ls try the following from the root of your FTP tree.

 csh> chroot <FTP root> /bin/ls

You have to be root to run chroot.

Or, for a slightly more succint summary of which libraries are being
used by ls, try using ldd.  Also, try building the nodes ticosord and
udp in your ~ftp/dev directory.

I have two versions of ls on my system, one which was compiled using
gcc's -static switch, and the stock (Solaris 2.4) one.  The ldd output
looks like this:

	1. Stock Solaris /bin/ls
	=> ldd /bin/ls
        	libw.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libw.so.1
        	libintl.so.1 =>  /usr/lib/libintl.so.1
        	libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        	libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1

	2. Static (supposedly) ls
	=> ldd ~none/bin/ls
       		libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        	libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1

Now, since I'm not exactly joe programmer, can anyone tell me why an ls
(from gnu's fileutils-3.12), compiled with -static switch, still has
dependancies?  

Alternately, can anyone point me to a completely static version of ls
for Solaris 2.4?  Ftp is working just fine for me (with the stock
/bin/ls and all of the libraries in their own directories), but I do
have a need for an ls which can function in a chroot'ed environment,
without me worrying about including all of the libraries in another
directory.

Thanks, 

Dave

Hey,

   Me and a co-worker got to digging arround on the net and found a utility 
called ftpd-ls found at ftp.funet.fi/local/src/ftpd-ls.tar.gz. When I compile 
using 'gcc -static' I got a completely statically linked ls. I did have to add 
an include for <sys/types.h> to the print.c to get the compile to work. This ls 
seems to work great and does not access any external libraries! Thanks for all 
the info. The chroot is a good idea, I always forget about it!!

Thanks Again....

Another Question.....

    Can't wu-ftpd be set up so it checks the host doing the ftp can be checked 
in the DNS tables for validity? I need to secure my server so that if the host 
isn't in DNS it fails to open the ftp connection. Thanks :)

Use the PARANOID option in tcp_wrappers, which should already be
front-ending your FTP server.  If not, get it from ftp.win.tue.nl.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's generally done via TCP 
wrappers, rather than by the ftp daemon itself.  You should need 
something in your hosts.deny like:

  ftpd: UNKNOWN

(At least, that's how I have it set up on our boxes around here.)

I invite your attention to the ftpaccess man page:

          deny <addrglob> <message_file>
               Always deny access to host(s) matching <addrglob>.
               <message_file> is displayed.  <addrglob> may be
               "!nameserved" to deny access to sites without a working
               nameserver.

I think this solves the problem without having to use tcpd as a front
end.  In fact, I can't think of any reason to front-end wu-ftpd with
tcpd, as all that tcpd does, wu-ftpd does, too.

I am considering using the guestgroup access (top level 'anonymous' 
like structure, with individual unique home directories below).  Here's my 
problem...I need to control access between the group members. Does 
that mean I need to keep a passwd file with root/ftp AND all the group
members ?? I'm not really keen on that - unless there is a way I can 
eliminate the users ability to 'see' the chroot'ed passwd file, is there ??
(Short of a major hack)

I don't want each user to have their own chroot'ed environment, but
I can't give them the ability to get each others files, any other suggestions??

True...but it's also convenient to have all of your tcp_wrapper-ish 
behavior dictated by a single set of configuration files (those being 
hosts.deny and hosts.allow), rather than having to deal with a different 
config file for each wrapper-ish daemon.

To each his own, I suppose.

Kevin,

I believe that the guestgroup, just like anonymous, only uses /etc/passwd
and /etc/group files for the initial setup and subsequent file creation
operations.  The group and passwd files for the group members are just to
allow the groups and userids to be expanded when doing an ls -lg. So just
copy the password files to the locations without the password in them.  In
fact, all you need is the username and userid with colons to fill out the
proper number of fields.  This allows a mapping of username (alpahnumeric)
to userid (numeric).  The same is true for the group file.  Or if you
don't care about this mapping, then just eliminate them.  Then the user
will see numbers (the numeric ids) when doing ls -lg rather than names. 

When you create files, the real /etc/passwd is consulted, not the 
local guestgroup ones. 

To use guestgroup to keep access I would just have different userids in the
/etc/password file to share the *same* chroot directory but different 
home directory.  Each user can be in a different group as dictated by the
*real* /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.  For this scenario, you would 
only use a single copy of the passwd and group files for the new root.  
This would apply to all users under that root.

Shared groups can be accomplished by modifying the /etc/group file
with the desired usernames.

I hope this helps,
Jim

The "deny" option in the ftpaccess file does not work the way Paul asked. 
If set, wu-ftpd does not deny the command connection.  It refuses to allow
login if the source address does not have a registered DNS name.  I
believe only tcp_wrappers provides the desired service (i.e. to deny 
connections). 

At least, that is the way it works on my version (beta-11).

Hi,

i just installed wu-ftpd Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-11] with virtual ftp
enabled.
I have problems running the virtual servers. If i ftp to a virtual server
from the localhost, i obtain:

421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

If i ftp to the same virtual server from a remote host, the connection is
established and i'm able to log in.

Sometime i obtain the the same error message depending on the directory i
set as home for that virtual host.

Furthermore, even if i'm able to login, the server doesn't work: when i
try to do an "ls" command, i am not able to obtain the file list.

I monitored the ip traffic to see what happen: i saw the data connection
is opened and immediatly closed. 

What i'm doing wrong ?

Thanks for your help.

Domenico

Subject: upload in ftpaccess
X-Mailer: Elm [revision: 109.14]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello my wu-ftpd friends,
I installed wu-ftpd-2.4 on my HP running 9.07.  I am trying to use the
upload feature of ftpaccess to set the owner and group of the files
being uploaded.  The problem I am having is that the upload only works
if I set the owner of the file to ftp.  I want to set owner to anything
but ftp, root for example.  I have given NFS root access (via exports) 
to the ftp server but it still doesn't work.

The following upload specification works:

	upload /users/ftp /incoming/dir1 yes ftp sys 0600

The following upload specification does not work:

	upload /users/ftp /incoming/dir1 yes root sys 0600

When I upload files using the above, a file gets created with proper
owner and group, however it is empty and I get the following error:

	452 Error writing file: Permission denied.

Am I doing something invalid? Are there restrictions as to who I can
set owner to on the upload feature of ftpaccess?

HELP!
annette

I had strange problems too, doing this helped me.

I stuck a "return;"  around lines 423 and 501 in src/extensions.c and it fixed 
everything!  If this works for you, let me know!

Looks like no one answered Steve's original question on this thread: that
is, whether it's possible to have an account that's just like the
anonymous account in every respect, including the ability to accept *any*
e-mail address as a password.  However, the account would have a name
like 'acme_demo' instead of 'anonymous' or 'ftp'.

At least I think that was the original question.  Correct me if I'm wrong,
Steve...

I'd also like to do this.  It would be helpful to have multiple anonymous
accounts so that my company's separate lines of business could each offer
a public download area for its product demos and trials.  These separate
anonymous accounts could be truly independent of each other, and
independent of the company's "official anonymous" account.  Actually, we
don't have an official anonymous account, but when we do, the product
groups may still prefer their own accounts.

Anyway, having glimpsed at the source code, I think I know the answer: No. 
Except for the 'ftp' account, all accounts must use passwords from
/etc/passwd or the shadowed equivalent.  And the 'anonymous' username is
just an alias to the 'ftp' account. 

Wu-ftpd also won't accept a real user who has a null password,
even if the user can Telnet in without a password.

When all is said and done, wu-ftpd is probably doing The Right Thing 
here.  Of course, you could patch the source to make it do otherwise,
but that's a lonely and dangerous road to follow.

Subject: ls problem
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hi,

I recently installed wu-ftp 2.4 on my system (running SunOS 5.4). The problem I have is that the
'ls' command does not work , giving the following error message:

ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number
ftp>

'ls' works fine with real user login.

I have set up the required directories bin, dev, etc, usr to store the executable and libraries. One thing I did
not know about is the dev/tcp file mentioned in the INSTALL file. I have no idea how to get/create this file and
don't know if it is important.

Thanks for any help in advance,
Li-yu Sung

HI,

   Your problem is that you have not created the dev/tcp and dev/zero files.
These files are created using the mknod command.  The command is used as 
follows:

   mknod <filename>  <node type> <major number> <minor number>
   
   The node type for tcp and zero are 'c' for character. If you do the following 
you will get your major and minor numbers:

  choteau:pfincher {30}  ls -l /dev/tcp 
    lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          29 Dec 18 18:31 /dev/tcp ->       
    ../devices/pseudo/clone@0:tcp
  choteau:pfincher {30} ls -l /devices/pseudo/clone@0:tcp
    crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys       11, 42 Dec 18 17:34         
    /devices/pseudo/clone@0:tcp        ^   ^
                             major ____|   |___ minor number
                             
   Notice that /dev/tcp is a link! Therefore you would have the following:
   
     mknod dev/tcp c 11 42
   
   /dev/zero is the same way.  Hope this helps!

To All,

I have a big problem. All my users who have the Macintosh Netscape
client(s), all versions, cannot anonymous ftp to my site. PC, unix, linux,
etc. all have no problems.

I am redistributing software to those Mac clients with this anonymous ftp.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you solve it?

I am running Solaris 2.5, Wu-FTPD 2.4(4) on a Sparc 20 w/256 meg o ram

HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Sounds like the 'correct permissions on /dev/tcp' part..

>From http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html, the FAQ for wu-ftpd in it's
current incarnation :

Apparantly ftpd needs write permission on ~ftp/dev/tcp in order to operate
correctly in passive mode (Solaris). Set it to the same mode as permissions
shown by <code>ls -lL /dev/tcp</code>,
being 666. Also read the Solaris man page for ftpd for Solaris-specific
information. <B>Changed from previous versions</B>

yacc is a parser generator, and is part of the standard Unix software
development toolkit.  It's used to build little languages, such as the
command 'language' of an ftp daemon.  The specification for that language
is defined in ftpcmd.y.  yacc translates ftpcmd.y into low level code and
writes it to ftpcmd.c.

I'd guess that your sysadmin chose not to install yacc.  Maybe he hadn't
heard of it, either!  Ask him to find it and put it in /usr/bin.  If he
doesn't know how to do this, you could get gnu bison, the FSF version of
yacc.

Or maybe someone else with AIX 4.1.3 can email you their ftpcmd.c
(I'm not sure if there are plaform dependencies in the yacc-to-c
translation; otherwise I'd mail you my ftpcmd.c).

Jose,

YACC stands for "Yet Another Compiler Compiler" and is a program
which is used to generate parsers for a specified grammer.  The grammer is
coded using a special syntax.  The actual output from yacc is a C program
suitable for including with other C programs.  Although you could 
probably get a pre-yacc'd version of the ftpcmd.y file the safest thing to
do is to install a public domain version of yacc which is known as bison 
(no kidding!).  It is one of the "gnu" supported products and can be 
retrieved from any site which has a gnu directory.  I suggest you use archie
or some other search engine to locate the best site from which to 
retrieve it.

Once you retrieve and compile the source you can probably do one of two 
things.  Either rename it to yacc or modify the make files to call bison 
instead of yacc.  You may need to experiment to get it right.

Good luck,
Jim

Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I know yacc means 'Yet Another Compiler 
Compiler' known from Linux-Distributions. Sorry, don't know enough 
about AIX, so I can't give You any  hint concerning Your compiling 
problem, but maybe you have to edit your Makefile again...

Hi,

i have a problem setting up the home directory for a couple of virtual
ftp servers i'm going to activate.

It seems that i *must* put the ftp homes necessarily in /home otherwise
nothing works.

If in the passwd i have:

ftp2:*:404:2::/home/ftp2:/bin/bash

and the home is in /home/ftp2 , everything works.

If i change passwd entry to:

ftp2:*:404:3::/usr/local/etc/apache/web-sites/www.italsoft.com/ftp2:/bin/bash

and i make the home in /usr/local/etc/apache/web-sites/www.italsoft.com/ftp2
the server refuses every connection writing that the service is not available.

Any clue ?

Domenico

Hi,

We have installed and used the virtual-hosts capability
with sucess on our Sparc system running 2.5, BUT
it still uses the /etc/passwd file.

Is it possible that for each virtual hosts a
separate passwd file is used?, and if so how?
(so as soon the daemoin is executed it reads the correct
passwd file)

Thnx

I have recently tried to install ftpd-2.4 on a SunOS 2.4.  It seems to
compile fine and I think I have placed all the needed item where they need
to be however I get an error stating:   221 Server shutting down.  Goodbye.

I check a WWW site which mentioned this error but it didn't really seem to
apply to me or I'm not sure what it meant..

Are there FAQ somewhere?  I need to get more information on the passwd
settings and also what it the virtual ftp?

Thanks, Michael

Jose,

   Just to give some comfort about Bison, Jim is right, Bison is a great parser 
generator (compared to the standard yacc) and I have used it in several areas of 
my own software development projects. You can get it at prep.ai.mit.edu under
pub/gnu. A great book on parser generating is "lex & yacc" by John Levine, 
O'Reilly & Associates. By the way, GNU does have a 'lex' equivilent called flex 
which is also very nice. Have fun!!

You might want to try using a virtual root name that does not have a dot
in the name.  For example, try foo instead of foo.com; this worked for me.

I am having trouble with Solaris 2.5 and having anonymous users log in =
with
a browser or graphical ftp client.  When they log in they get no =
directory=20
listing.  When a command line ftp client is used it seems to work fine.

The last time I looked using bison means that anything generated by it
will be subject to the gnu CopyLeft because bison incorporates gnu

I have determined that ls works but dir or ls -al does not.  Could this =
be
related to the passive clients like netscape not working but line =
oriented
ftp clients do?,  Sorry if this is newbie, but I had this running under
SunOs 4.1.4 then I "upgraded" to 2.5 and now I am dead.

Working I mean that do directory listing is returned when a dir is =
issued, but
ls works.

I've read the FAQ on this. 
 
The system is Solaris 5.4. 
 
I've installed GNU tar 1.11.8. 
 
I've followed instructions per the Install notes & the O'Reilly text in 
"Managing Internet Information Services". 
 
The ftpconversion file appears correct per the book.  The FAQ suggestions 
yield the same result. 
 
Whenever anyone request a file without the extension, the response is "No such 
file or directory". 
 
For example, a file is names test.gz, I ask for the file test; the response is 
"No such file or directory". 
 
Help please...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to compile for UW2.1?

Thanks for those whom responded.  I already check the http site :
http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html.  However my problem is this error:

>ftpd always says "221 Server shutting down. Goodbye"

>The directive ftpshut in the ftpaccess file points to a file that exists
>at that >moment. Either change the directive or delete the file.

>Also, after you've used the ftpshut command, you'll need to remove the

The answer doesn't really help me out...  Could some fill in more
details...  This is the first time ftpd was install and never worked.

I have the stock ftpconversion in place.

I have a file for example old_data.tar.gz

I can get old_data.tar and it de gzips it

but I can;t get old_data and have it untar and unzip it.

can the auto conversion stuff do that?  Can any one help me on setting
that up?  I have U*NIX people dropping stuff off for PC folks that choke =
=20
when they see .tar.gz or even just .tar.

I guess the answer would be that it can't because of the multi files?

When you run the ftpshut command, one of the things it does is to create
a little file somewhere.  On my system it's /etc/shutmsg, but its name
is defined in the ftpaccess file.  Look for the line starting with
'shutdown'.

Every time the daemon starts, it looks for this shutmsg file.  If it finds
it, it displays the message in the file, then closes the session.

The moral of the story is that, once you run 'shutdown', no one
can establish a connection until you delete this file.

Hope this helps.

Subject: limiting IP addresses on guest accounts
X-Ms-Attachment: WINMAIL.DAT 0 00-00-1980 00:00
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

Hello WUFTPD'ers,
 I am running the wu-2.4(1) version on Solaris 2.4 (SunOS 5.4) and thought 
I had everything setup correctly to limit my guest accounts to only be able 
to have access to the server if they were coming in on certain subnets. I 
remember only to well how hard it was setting up the server because 
everytime I tested from a different client machine it would fail until I 
added that IP subnet to my ftpaccess guest class line.

 All of a sudden with my current testing I noticed I could logon to the ftp 
server using regular unix accounts that are not even defined in my 
ftpaccess file. For the guest accounts in my ftpaccess file I could logon 
on from any IP address, it didnt seem to matter what IP addresses I put on 
my guest class line. The only changes I have been making in this area were 
adding additional IP subnets to the guest class line.

 I did run the ckconfig just to make sure my executable version was still 
finding my ftpaccess file and it reported OK. The following line is from my 
/etc/group file: WUFTPDguests::700:ew3srvr,billing. The upload commands do 
work correctly in the ftpaccess file when you are uploading to those 
directories. Now all of a sudden though, people can logon and transfer 
files from all over the machine. So any input would be appreciated.
	Thanx,
	Roger Hanke

	First of all, I'd like to thank all of you that gave me info 
about what is "yacc" and what must be done to make it works.

	I've installed the native AIX 4.1.3 "yacc" code without problems 
instead of get the gnu code and it seems to be running ok.

	But, when I tryed to install it again, I had other problems. As 
i'm not a real C programmer, I think that there are some troubles about 
type declarations in ftpcmd.c source code. I've got the following Severe 
errors:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Does anybody knows what should I do in this case?

Hi all. I've done some homework, read the FAQ, downloaded some source code,
etc., but I would still like some help on the wu-ftp "big picture":

It appears that:

1. The original wu-ftp is available, and is at version 2.4
2. Others have added to the code, and their version is 2.4.2.beta.11 or
some such.
3. There is a patch for allowing wu-ftp to handle multiple domains on a
single host, sometimes known as multi-homed, or virtual hosts, much like
is done with some web servers (we need this!).

My questions:

What's the "best" approach to setting up wu-ftp, starting on a new machine
(BSDI), with a need for the multi-home features? Should I start with the
original or the beta code? Does the beta code include the virtual host patches?

I appreciate your advice. After we get the "big picture", I'm sure I'll be
back to the list with more nitty-gritty questions.

Thanks,

Fred Toth

I mentioned a while back on this list that I had patches to wuftpd to
allow it to report the directory in terms of where you chdir'd to not
where you actually are.  This can make it a lot easier to navigate
symlink trees.

I have submitted this and various other patches to the Academ people but
as they are fairly major the will be rolled out in the next main
release.

I've a version of the patches to apply to beta-11 that are:

	COMPLETELY UNSUPPORTED

Sorry I just haven't the time...

The patches are to be found in:
		
	sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk packages/mirror/experimental/wu-2.4.2-upd



BTW: one other *really* cute patch in that bundle is to allow ftpd to
run without inetd.  It then listen()'s and fork()s off copies of itself
to handle incoming requests.  If you have a busy site then this can be a
really big win.  Zap the inetd entry and try:
	in.ftpd -Dlioa

Hi,
  I have just installed wu-ftpd on a Solaris 2.5 system... Having problems
with 'ls'.... When an anonymous user logs in, and types 'ls' all he/she
gets is the firstletter of each of the dirs/files on a new line... The
case is reversed when a real user logs in and types 'ls'... Instead, the
listing is made with the first two letters removed from each of the
names... Does anyone know why this would happen? I have successfully
installed it on a SunOS system and have done everything pretty much the
same...
  Any help would be greatly appreciated... PLease respond via e-mail cause
I'm not currently subscribed to the newsgroup.
  Thanx

    I have Solaris 2.5 and had problems with the standard ls myself (although 
they weren't the same as what your seeing).  Iwas told about ftpd-ls. This is a 
completely statically linked ls which I had no problem with. I used the gnu 
compiler (gcc -static) to compile it statically. You may want to pick that one 
up. I searched the web to find it and don't remember exactly where I got it!
Hope this helps, good luck!

That's a new variant of 'dir not working' ;-)

Anyway, by doing 'pretty much the same' you ran into Sun's .. er.. mixing
of bsd and sysV compatibility.

What you get at the moment by calling 'cc' is probably /usr/ucb/cc. Which
is a script that puts all ucb compatibility before the 'standard' includes.
This mixes the dir.h (or dirent.h) of one version with the readdir calls
from another version.

Solution : put /usr/ccs/bin in your path BEFORE /usr/ucb, and make sure
/usr/ccs/bin/cc points to the installed C compiler (/opt/SUNWSpro .../cc).

I would think it is easy to set up a guestgroup type account with a
virtual address, but I haven't tried it.

I was wondering if anyone is running WU-FTPD on the new Sun Ultra's?  

Actually a more general question would be if you wanted to support 200-400
concurrent users what type of systems specs would one get?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks
Anthony

The most important things to consider is disk speed and memory.
For 200-400 concurrent users you will need at least 256MB and 
maybe more as you approach 400. Also, go with wide-scsi and
RAID or striped configurations. I have around 100-150 concurrent
users on a SPARCstation 20 and there is never a CPU bottleneck.
I did have a shortage of memory until I increased it to 128MB. I
still have occasions where I run short of memory. And disk could
always be faster.......

Subject: Odd upload problem with a Mac user
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25]
X-Listprocessor-Version: 7.1 -- ListProcessor by CREN

One user of us who was trying to upload (in Mac jargon) several folders
each contains about 15 MB's worth of files.  She is using Fetch 3.01
and MacOS 7.53.  Her connection to the Internet is a 128kbps ISDN.

The machine her account is on is a SS5, with 64MB RAM, running Solaris
2.5 without any patch and wu-ftp 2.4.2 beta 10. The box is part of a
10Mbps ethernet with a point to point T1 link to the Internet with
quite low bandwidth usage. 

The problem she got is described below:

When she tried to upload in folder by folder fashion, every time, after
a few files in the folder were uploaded, she got no connection, connection
reset by the server, unknown directory etc... as error messages.  The funny
thing is that the problem didn't show up in a consistent manner.  Sometimes
more than 200 files in the folder were uploaded before the symptom showed
up.  Sometimes, only after 3 files, the symptom came in and disrupted the
file transfer.

I did a simple and dumb test - from a Ultrix machine (DEC 5000), I dumped
80 small files into the SS5, from 400 miles away.  Didn't have any troubles.

My suspicision is that her Mac Fetch TCP/IP MTU must be adjusted to some
better values or perhaps some other parameters need to be adjusted as well.

The SS5's TCP/IP parameters have been adjusted so the well known
Solaris 2.x bug of over transmitting packets is mitigated.  Anyways,
she needs to transfer over more than 300 MB files from 600 miles away,
and I so far have not been able to figure out any way to help her.
Would appreciate any suggestions, either to our Solaris 2.5 box or her
MacOS box.

Thanks,

Yep, we're running the 'standard' WU_FTPD on a Sun Ultra single processor,
solaris 2.5.1, without difficulty. It screams. Don't know how it would
behave with 400 users but ftp is definitely a lot faster compared to a Sparc 20.

Early on, I sent out a question about the problem that a user has been
having with her Mac.  After dinner, I recall another one, also a Mac user.

I know this list is not for discussing Mac stuff, however, I think it's
related.  Both Mac users use pretty quick 128kbps ISDN dial up connection
to the Internet.  They both told me that between them and their connectivity
provider, they had no problems whatsoever, and uploading/downloading
were fast and smooth.  But, when they connect to my site, running supposely
the latest wu-ftp 2.4.2 beta{10|11}, they run into troubles.  The first one
gets frequent disconnect (time out caused by MTU mismatch?) and the second
always tells me that the ftp throughput is poor.  

I know Solaris 2.5 is not stellar in supporting slow (well, anything less
than T1 is slow) connections.  However, I have tried all tricks in the
book for accomodating such links. Not much else I can do here anymore.

Between UNIX machines, I consistently get over 100 Kbytes/second throughput
when ftping from sites with high speed links.  Never have observed any 
problems.  OK, so what is this?  Is it because MacOS's TCP/IP implementation
really that lousy?  What can I do to accomodate such eratz but popular 
software?
