Best is IMHO to use a fake shell /bin/false & /bin/true i.o. /bin/csh. Other 'shells' maybe used of course, but in any case THE SHELL MENTIONED MUST BE STATED IN '/etc/shells'. If not, the ftpd will disallow ftp access, too. (Which maybe helpful in some cases) In the case of /bin/true and/bin/false, you can decide who has 'ftp access, but no shell possibillity' or 'no ftp, access, and no shell (thus: NOTHING) access'. This maybe your answer for a possible security breach.

Hello, I just wondered one thing .. you want to look up uid->NIS+-login, right? But then why don't you copy the needed libraries to ~ftp/usr/lib and the systems ls to ~ftp/bin ?? That (shared) version should have the possibility to check NIS+users (if you got some special files in ~ftp/etc) .. but a static version of ls with NIS+ check builtin might be some problem .. because what we did to make the static ls was to create or own caching of getpwnam (or similar) .. you've got to add checks to weither NIS (YP) or NIS+ is what you use .. where to get the info requested and the lots .. But if someone got the time .. do it .. :-) /Emil From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Tue Apr 1 23:16:54 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA24931; Tue, 1 Apr 1997 23:11:26 -0600 (CST) Received: from star1.orange.com.sg (star1.orange.com.sg [210.24.145.33]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA25284 for ; Tue, 1 Apr 1997 23:06:41 -0600 (CST) Received: from malcolm.orange.com.sg ([210.24.145.44]) by star1.orange.com.sg (Netscape Mail Server v2.02) with SMTP id AAA50 for ; Wed, 2 Apr 1997 13:10:03 +0800 Received: by malcolm.orange.com.sg with Microsoft Mail id <01BC3F66.39CD4820@malcolm.orange.com.sg>; Wed, 2 Apr 1997 13:03:14 +-800 Message-Id: <01BC3F66.39CD4820@malcolm.orange.com.sg> Date: Wed, 2 Apr 1997 13:03:13 +-800 Reply-To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: Malcolm Chng To: "'wu-ftpd@mail.wustl.edu.'"

This is my third attempt. I installed several months and am just now getting around to trying to fix a problem. I have guests logging in to virtual servers and I would like to log-in myself without the restrictions. I am in a diff group than the guest group, yet the only way I can log-in is if I make my home directory the root directory. If I set my home directory to anything else (Like /usr/home/thom) I get an error that the directory does not exist, and then an error "Can't create datasocket". I'm sure that I am just an edit away.

The problem turned out to be due to the fact that beta 13 for AIX had a slight error in support/makefiles/Makefile.aix, in the OBJS line. All object files were listed (ie .o) but snprintf was listed as snprintf.c. Changing that to snprintf.o and doing a build clean, then build aix takes care of the problem. Stan Barber fixed that problem within 60 seconds of notification, so it shouldn't be present in future releases... I don't think it existed in previous betas, FWIW. -Dan From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Fri Apr 4 12:39:20 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA19807; Fri, 4 Apr 1997 12:34:52 -0600 (CST) Received: from achilles.spanlink.com (achilles.spanlink.com [204.167.166.7]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA19727 for ; Fri, 4 Apr 1997 12:32:41 -0600 (CST) Received: (from penderj@localhost) by achilles.spanlink.com (8.8.4/8.8.5) id MAA12762 for wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu; Fri, 4 Apr 1997 12:31:26 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199704041831.MAA12762@achilles.spanlink.com> Date: Fri, 4 Apr 1997 12:31:25 -0600 (CST) Reply-To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: Jerry Pendergraft To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Subject: Re: Static-ls In-Reply-To: <9704021604.AA06063@onyx.gene.ucl.ac.uk> from "John Attwood" at Apr 2, 97 05:04:24 pm MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN Why not just provide a skeleton copy of pw info by running, at your chosen frequency, the following: niscat passwd.org_dir | awk -F':' '{ printf("%s:*:%d:%d:%s:%s:\n", $1, $3, $4,$5, $6); }' > ~ftp/etc/passwd > > > I used the static-ls patch, posted here the other day, along with fileutils3.16 as suggested > >and it works, except for 1 thing.

Using your tar file of GNU fileutils-3.16 and the native IRIX 6.2 compiler with the -non_shared option did the trick. After 4 months of trying and countless hours spent talking to SGI, I finally have a static ls version that works on IRIX 6.2. But I still dont have a clue what /usr/lib/ldstatic is and why my build attempts with fileutils-3.13 and native compiler kept asking for it. Was that a virgin fileutils-3.16 tree you delivered to me or had you already made some changes to it? I would like to understand why this suddenly succeeded so I can feel comfortable that I could do it again with a different version someday if necessary.

If you want to work with what you have, check for nested includes. My bet would be you need to fix syslog.h and stdlib.h to get your version to make.

I have no clue as to what /usr/lib/ldstatic is, nor does it exist on the 6.2 machine that I built things with. All I did to the fileutils was to run configure and place -non_shared in the Makefiles for LDFLAGS and CFLAGS. This should continue to work with new versions of fileutils since it worked for 3.12 which is what ftp.lerc.nasa.gov uses.

If the next round of upgrade (with, acc.to.mktg. Everything being perfect in 6.5) leaves as many holes and out-of-date implementations, I would suggest IRIX users unionize and demand better tools.

This is my third attempt. I for one find your question unclear. It also seems to show a basic lack of understanding about FTP logins and Unix permissions in general. Not to be cold, but few have time to explain Unix basics for a daemon that already requires a good understanding to set up. If you don't have the basics down and can't set up a secure ftp server, you may be setting yourself up for a hack. > I installed several months and am just now getting around to trying to > fix a problem.

What do you want to be able to do? If you want to be able to log in as an effective "superuser" over your virtual users and do anything you want, you will have to understand permissions and ownership and set all files and directories appropriately. If you are a different user in a different group, then you cannot do anything you want without setting everything world read/writeable. For fairly obvious reasons one would not want to do that. > I am in a diff group > than the guest group, yet the only way I can log-in is if I make my home > directory the root directory.

If it is a 'real user' login, it should work; if not, you are missing something fundamental in your system structure. Go over the howto and make sure that all required libs and devices exist for your system. If this is a guest login and /usr/home/thom does not have the proper directory structures, it may well fail like this.

Let me elaborate. I have wuftpd compiled to handle virtual servers, using "/./" at the end of each guest's home directory to invoke the chroot. Guest users are group "users" as defined in /etc/ftpaccess. I am a member of that group and I am also a member of serval other groups. What I am trying to do is define my home directory in /etc/passwd so when I telnet in I have my shell set up like I like it. The problem involves wuftpd because when I have my home directory set in /etc/passwd, I get the errors when I try to FTP in. The only way I can successfully FTP to the box (and have access to the entire box) is if I set my home directory to the machine root. I hope this help and I appreciate the responce Michael. Anything else and I get the errors. Is this addressed in the howto you reference? Where is this howto? >On Thu, 3 Apr 1997, Thom Dunaway wrote: > >> Why don't my posting show up in this list?

In the sectio with guestgroup and all the users listed on one line e.g guestgroup name1 name2 name3 etc etc make sure that you do not have over 30 ish users in one section. I think the limit is about 50 but I am not sure, so stick with 30ish. If there is motre just start another line with guestgroup and add the last user there.

I do have some sympathy with this point of view. But - one of the problems is that many of the neophytes son't know about the FAQ's, or where they are. The 2.4 distribution I have doesn't mention them in the README or INSTALL files, although it does mention this mailing list. Admittedly, this version is a bit old in the tooth and perhaps the FAQs didn't exist then - the beta 11-13 documentation may mention them (Stan ?). If not, then any neohpyte looking for help who subscribes to this list typically has to wait until Michael or Koos (or occasionally someone else) makes a posting that references the FAQs in order to find out about them. I think it might help if the mailing list server could add a few lines at the bottom of every message to list the locations of some of the most useful FAQs. Say, Koos' FAQ (http://www.cetis.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html), guest how-to (ftp://ftp.fni.com/pub/wu-ftpd/guest-howto), Kent's virtual server FAQ (http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/virtual-ftp-faq.html) and perhaps Paradise Cowgirl's Solaris 2 FAQ (http://www.teleport.com/~minerva/wu-ftpd/wuftpd.shtml). It might also be worth mentioning one or two of the mailing list archives; Kent has one at http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/mail-archive/. This way, at the expense of a few lines at the bottom (which could be ignored by folks who already know where the FAQs are), any posting to the list would hopefully encourage the neophyte to check out these references before posting their own question... And putting the same info in the standard "welcome to the mailing list, here's how to unsubscribe" message wouldn't hurt either. Would this be acceptable to list members ? Can the list server accomodate this (I know majordomo can) ?

The interface is supposed to handle any sort of authentication of any combination of authentication modules.

I could use some help. I've got a wu-ftpd server that's been in service for years, and recently went to wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-13]. I don't think my problem is particularly related to the upgrade, but I suppose it could be. This server is running SunOS 4.1.3. Suddenly today, anonymous users cannot upload anything. They can try, and the file is opened, but then: ftp> cd incoming 250 CWD command successful. ftp> bin 200 Type set to I. ftp> put dorothy.jpg 200 PORT command successful. 550 fchown: Not owner. ...and what's left is a zero-byte file, with what appears to be the correct user and group ownership. I've looked at my passwd and group files, as well as my ftpaccess, etc., and cannot find the problem, or even anything that has changed recently enough to be a likely cause for this problem. I've checked the NIS passwd and group maps, and didn't find anything wrong there, although that is where I thought I might, since the maps change often, and might cause a rather sudden problem like this. I DON'T want to tear the server down and start from scratch, if it can be helped! Ideas and suggestions are solicited. I've looked at the FAQ yet again, but it's *always* possible that I've missed something...

The same thing happens if I try to run it from the command line. I cannot seem to find anywhere in the documentation (or FAQs) anything that states how to actually start up the server, or anything that says running ftpshut will prevent it from running again. I should mention that since running ftpshut I have rebooted and rebuilt and reinstalled the wu-ftp distribution. I still can't start it. Any help appreciated.

I don't thing that the server will ask specifically for a passwd it will probably say something like 220 group accepted and it's up to you to send a SITE GPASS xxxx if the passwd is accepted then setegid() is done If you only have one or two groups maybe the autogroup directive(man ftpaccess) will be usefull The setegid() is done automatically for certain type of clients so no more site group/gpass -- au revoir, alain ---- Aussi haut que l'on soit assis, on est toujours assis que sur son cul !!!

There seems to be a limitation with Linux's inetd and wu.ftpd which prevents a server from handling heavy loads. On servers with high connection rates (i.e., a high volume of clients trying to connect to the server at the same time), Linux would stop accepting connections and just sit there. This is probably due to a limitation in inetd more than anything in wu.ftpd, however, if wu.ftpd could run as a daemon, then this may not be an issue? Anyway, I am sure there are people who run loaded servers on Linux with wu.ftpd, and if there is a hack or something that makes it work, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

The default value is just way too low for a heavy loaded system (I think, less than one per second). You can define the maximum connections per minute in the field, separated from the wait/nowait parameter with a dot. For example ftp stream tcp nowait.256 root /usr/sbin/ftpd ftpd -a will allow 256 ftp connections to be started within a minute. I'm not shure whether there's an upper limit to the count. Alex.

Here goes... I have set up something similar to what you've described as a "guest" ftp account under Solaris 2.5.1. I did not, however, use the /etc/ftpgroup feature like you've mentioned. I created an ftponly user id with the ftponly group id, and utilize the "guestgroup" feature of ftpaccess. This ftpguest user is dropped into ~ftp/pub upon login, and about the only directories he/she can cd into are the chroot /, pub, and incoming (see the cdpath entries in my /etc/ftpaccess below). Here's a shortened capture of some of our files: /etc/passwd: ------------ (regular account info here...) ftp:x:9998:999:Anonymous FTP:/usr/local/ftp:/bin/true ftpguest:x:9997:999:Guest FTP:/usr/local/ftp/./pub:/bin/true Note: notice the "/./" pattern in the home field (see ftpaccess(5)). /etc/group: ----------- (regular group info here...) ftponly:*:999:ftp,ftpguest ~ftp/etc/passwd: --------------- ftp:x:9998:999:Anonymous FTP:/usr/local/ftp:/bin/true ftpguest:x:9997:999:Guest FTP:/usr/local/ftp/./pub:/bin/true ~ftp/etc/group: --------------- ftponly:*:999:ftp,ftpguest /etc/ftpaccess: --------------- class all real,guest,anonymous * guestgroup ftpguest limit all 5 Any /etc/msgs/msg.dead readme README* login readme README* cwd=* banner /welcome.msg login message .message cwd=* compress yes local remote tar yes local remote log commands real log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound shutdown /etc/shutmsg cdpath /incoming cdpath /pub cdpath / email unix@ect.enron.com /etc/ftphosts: -------------- allow ftp * allow ftpguest 172.16.32.* deny * * Note: we only allow internal usage of the ftpguest account.

For my senior project, I am attempting to replace the tcp/ip socket calls (i.e. socket(), bind(), listen(), accept(), read(), write()) with calls to FORE's atm api. These calls establish connections over an ATM network instead of traditional ethernet without the overhead of using ATM-over-IP. I have been having difficuties understanding the flow of wu-ftpd upon startup and as messages are received. I would like to know in which progression functions such as dataconn() and passive() are called. I would also like to know the significant data structs such as ctrl_addr and their purposes. My current path to adding ATM connectivity is to just piggy-back atm calls at the same points as the current tcp/ip socket calls (since they were designed in a similar fashion). At this point I am hoping that they will be called at the appropriate times and will work (somehow). A better understanding how how wu-ftpd runs would be very helpful. Any assistance, suggestions, or comments would be greatly appreciated.

It's only about 12K lines in toto. BTW the listen, and accept calls are tightly tied to the kernel tuning of whatever OS you are writing to. Whatever you do, I would recommend testing it against at least the following: Solaris2.5, Irix5.3, Irix6.2, Linux, BSDI, and SCO. Otherwise, your efforts will only collect dust. Also, the transliteration of the listen queue (default 5 on ALL unix unless custom-tuned) to your API may also depend on whether you pre-allocate processes or fork them. The caution you will need to employ is in making in general enough to permit tuning to high rates of simultaneous hits. If you ignore the tcp_sendspace and tcp_recvspace under IRIX,for example, along with the tcp_keepidle values that the test box you are running on, you may derive a faulty image of the way your code performs under duress. In the case of Linux, the networking and the tools to derive info therefrom are the most limited of the bunch.

Your problem might be something completely different, but in our I tracked it down to a memory allocation problem in popen.c. I never came around to investigate the problem in more detail but a quick'n'dirty patch help me: In popen.c in the function ftpd_popen (...) disable the release of possibly unallocated memory near the end of the function body: pfree: for (argc = 1; argv[argc] != NULL; argc++) { #ifndef __hpux #ifdef __comment__ GG: 1996-09-13, under HP-UX this seems to fail!!! More details see: [%afs/etc/userdir/azi.hyx] wu-ftpd Bug 1 #endif /* __comment__ */ blkfree((char **) argv[argc]); #endif /* __hpux */ free((char *) argv[argc]); } return (iop); According to my notes (referenced in the source segment above) this happened right after the client issued a DIR. The memory leak cause by not freeing the argument list seems to be neglible. +gg -- Gerhard.Gonter@wu-wien.ac.at Fax: +43/1/31336/702 g.gonter@ieee.org Zentrum fuer Informatikdienste, Wirtschaftsuniversitaet Wien, Austria From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Thu Apr 10 09:35:06 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id JAA07302; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 09:24:00 -0500 (CDT) Received: from bofh.co.telenet.pt (oberon.co.telenet.pt [193.219.97.18]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA06739 for ; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 09:20:32 -0500 (CDT) Received: from oberon.co.telenet.pt ([193.219.97.18]) by bofh.co.telenet.pt (Netscape Mail Server v1.1) with SMTP id AAA428 for ; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 15:26:47 +0100 Message-Id: <334df636.790137427@mail.co.telenet.pt> Date: Thu, 10 Apr 1997 14:26:47 GMT Reply-To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: melo@co.telenet.pt (Pedro Melo) To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Subject: Wu-ftpd 2.5 In-Reply-To: <199612071325.QAA06738@gemini.yars.free.net> References: <199612071325.QAA06738@gemini.yars.free.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Forte Agent 1.0/32.390 X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN Hi!

Some of our customers are using our ftp-server for massive file exchange between Russia and Germany. Due to the rather bad telephone qualitity in Russia, transmissions of files often abort with a hangup of the local modem. Because of this, the running wu-ftpd process will never terminate (timeout feature is only working when in idle state). We ran into difficulties when a lot of aborted transmissions with remaining server processes filled up the user classes. I implemented a patch for wu-ftpd-2.4 which applies to ftpd.c. It makes use of the "select"-function during file transmission and receiving and applies the same timeout as defined for idle timeout as the maximum interval between two data packets. This works in ASCII as well as BINARY-mode. I roughly tested the patch, but as I reimplemented the ASCII-conversion, I cannot absolutely guarantee the identical behaviour for every kind of file. I don't know if 2.4 beta contains a similar feature. If it does, please excuse. I'd consider the current behaviour of wu-ftpd as a (minor) security whole, as an attacker might lock up a whole class of users by starting up as many ftp-processes the server allows him to do, abort them during transmission of a file, and leave the ftp-server unusable till the operator kills the processes or reboots the machine. You will find the patch at: ftp://ftp.pop.de/pub/LOCAL/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd-2.4-timeout-patch (This is also an opportunity of checking out the patch :-) ) Hope it helps, Georg v.Zezschwitz POP Point Of Presecne GmbH, Germany From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Thu Apr 10 12:39:14 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA20342; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 12:33:21 -0500 (CDT) Received: from hulk.oit.unc.edu (hulk.oit.unc.edu [152.2.191.70]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA19994 for ; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 12:28:05 -0500 (CDT) Received: from localhost (mcdevitt@localhost) by hulk.oit.unc.edu (8.7.4/8.7.3) with SMTP id NAA03395 for ; Thu, 10 Apr 1997 13:27:51 -0400 Message-Id: Date: Thu, 10 Apr 1997 13:27:51 -0400 (EDT) Reply-To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: "Terence J.

I suggested that thif this does get implemented, it should be controlled by a switch in the ftpaccess file. Then if you find you need to change it to fine tune your setup, you won't have to recompile. You should also be able to turn it off by setting the switch in the ftpaccess file to say, 0. It's clear that what is a good timeout value for one site is not going to be good for another, so it needs to be easily configurable...

I realise that this works fine for you. :-) But if we are talking about an implementation for general use in release 2.5, it might be better if they didn't both key off the same value. For example, some sysops might want the "hang" timeout (for want of a better name) not to be changeable by the user...

Ah, yes. In the discussion a few weeks ago when I made my comments, we were talking about a timeout value for the whole file transmission, not a single block. Doing it on a per-block basis makes more sense for the purpose we are talking about. Thanks for clarifying this. (BTW, _some_ of our files are nearer 500 MB (after gzipping) than 100 MB, so you can see why they take a bit of time to get there...) > I'll think of implementing an independent configurable value. :-) Thanks for this, too. !

This _usually_ happens because your ftpaccess file has a "shutdown" line specifying a pathname in it. If this file exists, the server reads it to see what date/time it contains, and if the current date/time is beyond that the server rejects connections. Check to see if this file exists, and if so delete it or change the date. You might have created this manually, or by running ftpshut. Either way, once the specified date is past, you have to remove the file or set it to the next planned shutdown time before the server will allow connections again. For more information, check the ftpaccess and ftpshut man pages included with the distribution... Good luck !

X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN I am trying to get S/KEY & wuftp 2-4-2 beta 12/13 to work together. I am using the skey code that comes with logdaemon5.3. Does anyone know of a better version to use? Right now, the ftp daemon I have compiled works, but it is flakey. It currently works only when skey passwords are used. It doesn't matter what 'permit' lines I use in /etc/skey.access, nor if there is an /etc/skey.access file, ftp doesn't allow unix passwords. There is strong evidence that this is not a configuration problem. The message log shows that the ftp daemon catchs signal 11, segment violation, when any attempt to use unix passwords is made. My first guess is that I have a source code version mismatch between wuftp and s/key, but haven't found anything that could confirm or deny this. Are there any configuration or compilation settings I might have missed that need to be set to allow use of the /etc/skey.access file and/or to allow using both unix and s/key passwords?

These directions are on the FAQ site at: http://www.cetis.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html 7.Somebody uploaded a file with a weird name Somebody is trying to misuse your ftp-site for transferring software (worst case scenario). Check if the directive path-filter in the ftpaccess file is something like : path-filter anonymous /etc/paths.msg ^[-A-Za-z0-9\._]*$ ^\. ^- 8.I want anonymous users to be able to upload files, but in the most secure manner possible In that case, set your path-filter to the one mentioned above. Make the incoming directory owned by something else then ftp (root, or nobody) with another group then ftp (nobody). Something like : drwx-wx-wt root nobody incoming This will allow ftp to write in the directory, but not read it. Set the upload directive in ftpaccess to something like : upload /home/ftp /incoming yes root daemon 0400 nodirs One note : files get created as root and changed to the owner mentioned in the upload line. This will fail on some secure NFS setups. ====================================================== Steven K.

Re: Hiding new uploads X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN I seem to have gotten things sorted out here. It seems that I originally had tried to use '/pub/incoming' but put '/incoming' in the ftpaccess file. I had also originally listed the for 'upload' as '/u02/export/home/ftp' while the '/etc/passwd' file listed the ftp home directory as '/export/home/ftp' (a symbolic link, for historical reasons), which did not work (I can't find *THAT* in the FAQ, although if I took the time to read the source code more thoroughly I might have noticed it). By the time I noticed the first error, and had removed '/pub/incoming' and created '/incoming' I completely forgot about *directory* permissions. By the time I posted a message, I had spent a good half hour fooling around with the parameter for 'upload' with no results. And yes, I have read the FAQ. (I've even bookmarked and printed it since the only time I've actually seen the address posted is when somebody is complaining that you haven't read it.) Interestingly, the Solaris (my system) How-To specifically talks about setting the permissions on the '/incoming' directory to 777 while the regular FAQ does not mention setting permissions explicitly (although this excellent document, without which I never would have got the package running, does list the permissions, but does not call attention to them). Anyway, thank you all for your help.

X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN Thanks to all. I am now using logdaemon.5.6. and wuftp beta 12. The version of skey was not the problem, nor did I want to force pwok=1. ftpd.c needs a call to skeyaccess() to turn on the use of the /etc/skey.access file. This allows unix passwords, but not in the wide open manner of the previous suggestions. I want to use this file to allow unix passwords from certain logins, and from certain IP addresses only. It would be nice if the wuftp/skey combination would also check against the IP address bound to the local end of the socket, to further reduce IP spoofing possibilities. But its already been a long day. ------------- The fix to ftpd.c is: 1204a1205 > pwok = skeyaccess( pw, (char *)0, remotehost, remoteaddr); Starting at line 1203 of ftpd.c, the code looks like: #ifdef SKEY /* 0 means we found the user and the skeykeys file is open for update. */ pwok = skeyaccess( pw, (char *)0, remotehost, remoteaddr); /* NEWLINE */ if (skeychallenge (&skey_blk, name, chbuff) == 0) reply (331, "[%s] required for %s.", chbuff, name); else #endif pwok is set to 1 only if the parameters given to skeyaccess fit within the rules in /etc/skey.access.

I was trying to adjust my ftp server to accept sub-logins so other users rather than ftp & anonymous could login with user&passwd to our server. The server runs on Solaris 2.5 and I modified it according to what I've read in SunSolve so the above will operate. My problem is that each time I try to use the 'user' command (after logging to the ftp account) and enter the sub-login area I get the following message : 530 Can't change user from guest login. Login failed. This happens though I'm using Solaris 2.5 which suppose to support this feature. Do you have any suggestions ? and if not, could you address me to someone who can ? Thanks in Advance, Tomer Ps. How can I modify the site so users can login as directly ?

There is a small glitch in the way ftpd(popen.c) handles the arguments. I've sent mail to Mr Barber in Jan about this, but my patch was not retain, it was probaly to drastic(I refused to exec if argc was too long :-). The patch can still be found if you browse the archive, I guess. But it may be best if you wait for beta-14. The fix in beta-13 still have a problem, I believe it's probably because the array, argv[], is not NULL terminated if args goes over MAXG_ARGS. See src/popen.c for the relevant code. Wu-ftpd should not dump core or do anything else then dropping the connection. Must signals are catch(randomsig()). I don't think this buffer overrun can be exploitable because the function never return (execv()); I'll send something to Stan(Mr Barber) if he didn't already correct this.

Try signing into your server with the client that works and do both an ls and a dir. I bet your ls works but dir does not. If so, this is probably because the ls you have in the /bin directory does not work properly (I think ls is part of the ftp server and dir is an "outside" command). One client is probably getting the directory list with ls and the other with dir. We found the the copy of ls in the real /bin did not work, but the statically linked one in /sbin/ls did work. Once we copied the /sbin/ls to the relative /bin for the anon and guest users all was well. Cheers, Richard Schramm Internet Technical Analyst The E.W.

TIA > We are very satisfied with "xinetd" (which is similar to tcpwrapper). But it doesn't control access to a particular account, the access rights are set for particular services (telnet, ftp, ...), and it does a rather comprehensive logging (access granted / access denied). Its config file provides such access filtering by entries like: service ftp only_from .......... or: never_from .......... ( "........." ist a list of IP addresses.)

We do a similar thing here, but we use "mirror". We don't delete the files, just copy them again (via ftp) when they change... If you want more custom behavior, you could set up logging of transfers (just a simple change to ftpaccess file). If you don't mind a little delay, you could run a program from cron every couple of minutes. Just a fairly simple perl script would do it. Or have a daemon tailing the xferlog. -Ben --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ben Mehlman Vladimir: Well? Shall we go?

Also noted that a "dir" command or an "ls" command issued directly from a DOS ftp session failed first time, then succeeds on all subsequent attempts. There is definitely sometime wrong here, as a standard Solaris FTPD does not required the client software to use PASV mode. TCP_WRAPPERS are being used, but when disabled (removed from /etc/inetd.conf) the problems remain the same. Any ideas on why PASV mode succeeds ? Is it better for clients to use this client initiation mode - more secure ? rgds dave --------------35DB839976794A63C29CBD76 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="vcard.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for David Herring Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="vcard.vcf" begin:vcard fn:David Herring n:Herring;David org:Micromuse Inc. adr:;;90 Putney Bridge Road;Putney;London;SW18 1DA; email;internet:david.herring@micromuse.co.uk tel;work:0181 875 9500 tel;fax:0181 875 9995 x-mozilla-cpt:;0 x-mozilla-html:FALSE end:vcard --------------35DB839976794A63C29CBD76-- From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Wed Apr 16 02:07:02 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id CAA28172; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 02:02:57 -0500 (CDT) Received: from malmo.trab.se (malmo.trab.se [131.115.48.10]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA27705 for ; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 01:58:44 -0500 (CDT) Received: from linkoping.trab.se (helios.linkoping.trab.se [131.115.46.4]) by malmo.trab.se (8.7.5/TRAB-primary-2) with ESMTP id IAA23391 for ; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 08:58:11 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (from ath@localhost) by linkoping.trab.se (8.8.3/TRAB-secondary-1) id IAA12461 for wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 08:58:10 +0200 (MET DST) Message-Id: <199704160658.IAA12461@linkoping.trab.se> Date: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 08:58:10 +0200 (MET DST) Reply-To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: Anders Thulin To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Subject: Re: FTPD Store & Forward ??

One way is to let the log entry trigger the forwarding, by letting swatch or some similar daemon monitor the logfile, and start the appropriate script when the log entry matches some log entry pattern. swatch is (hopefully still) available at ftp://sierra.stanford.edu/ pub/sources/swatch.tar.Z.

The username ftp will have special meaning to the ftp daemon and will allow the user to log in as either ftp or anonymous by providing any string as a password (though you can enforce using an email address, etc.). Read the ftpd man page that came in the distribution of wuftpd for more information (search for ~ftp) on setting up an anonymous account. Read the man page for ftpaccess that also came in the distribution for more information on setting password checking rules for the anonymous account.

Hello all,

Has anyone out there been able to get wuftpd 2.4 up and running on
a BSDI 2.1 system with the virtual host patch from Bryan O'Connor?

I have the Daemon running OK, but it just times out when I try to
connect to the virtual host (even from a local terminal).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To download files you can do it via PORT or PASV some 'OS' i.e DOS, Windows, etc don't handle the PORT directive very well, then it's up to you to specify which one you prefer.

But I can understand the reasons. Also if you're patient there was a long thread on this a year ago, so it's in the archive. Let me resume the thread for you with some examples of the danger of having ports < 1024. DATA PORT (PORT) The argument is a HOST-PORT specification for the data port to be used in data connection. There are defaults for both the user and server data ports, and under normal circumstances this command and its reply are not needed. If this command is used, the argument is the concatenation of a 32-bit internet host address and a 16-bit TCP port address. This address information is broken into 8-bit fields and the value of each field is transmitted as a decimal number (in character string representation). The fields are separated by commas. A port command would be: PORT h1,h2,h3,h4,p1,p2 where h1 is the high order 8 bits of the internet host address. When data is to be transfer between a client and a server. The client can specify to which port it wants the data to arrive. The client then listen to the port number specify in the PORT command. The server makes an active open to that port and sends the data. Like we discuss before the host specify in the argument portion of the PORT doesn't have to be the same IP as the client, hence open the door to all sort of abuse. The easiest example that comes to mind is fake email. ..... STOR smtp_file PORT a,b,c,d,0,25 # a,b,c,d --> a.b.c.d --> victim_ip RETR smtp_file This sends an untracable mail to victim_ip. The logs on victim_ip will always show that the connection was made by the FTP server. It's a good way to pass thru firewalls. -- au revoir, alain ---- Aussi haut que l'on soit assis, on est toujours assis que sur son cul !!!

That's the way the ftp URL scheme works. Any browser that handles ftp URLs differently would be working incorrectly. Otherwise there would be no way to refer to the root directory in a URL, which is clearly incorrect behavior. Also, I recommend not using the password in the URL. All browsers I know of will prompt you for the password if you don't give it in the URL, and I think that's a better way of handling passwords. I.e., just use ftp://username@IPADDRESS/... instead.

I dont thing authentication uses the ~ftp/etc/passwd file (its there so chrooted anonymous sessions get names in lieu of numbers in directory listings). 2. Whats in the ftp hosts file ??????????? /etc/ftphosts (is the default with the distribution I think) It may conflict with your IP address. Does the DNS know about the client machine. You could also try ftp 127.0.0.1 from the server and see if that gets the same problems. 3. Does root have read access to the ftpaccess file (its a dumb question but........)

X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN Hi! Here's some notes jotted down during a recent read-through of the beta-13. As I don't feel very comfortable with wu-ftp, and don't think I understand why it does what it does, I hesitate to suggest that these are actual problems. They look a bit odd, though, and so may be potential problems. ftpd.c, retrieve(): The call to dataconn() defines dout and data. fclose(dout) closes dout, immediately after send_data(), but data isn't reset until just before the end of the function. It isn't clear why they are separated this way: it rather tends to make the connection betwen them non-obvious. ftpd.c, store(): The closefunc pointer doesn't appear to be useful, as only one assignment to it ever takes place. If fchown() for some reason goes wrong, fdout is not closed. This is probably not a problem, unless fchown *always* goes wrong -- this would leave a lot of file descriptors open. (Actually, this is the only thing I feel fairly sure could be a problem, although only under pretty weird conditions.) Same 'problem' with dataconn and din as in retrieve(). ftpd.c, dataconn(): Uses 'data' to decide if an existing connection could be used or not. But data seems to be reset to -1 in all cases, so this code appears to be non-functional. 'pdata' seems to be used in a somewhat similar way, but also seems to get reset to -1 everywhere. See below, though. extensions.c, newer(): This seems to be the only place where dataconn() is called, and the file later fclosed() and data is reset to -1, but pdata *isn't* reset. Deliberate?

It doesn't have anything to do with ftp - the browsers use the HTTP protocol (on port 80) to access URLs unless the URL starts in ftp://, gopher://, etc. With most browsers, your users can see the contents of their home directories on ftp://user@ez-poa.com.br/ (if they know their passwords). If you want people to be able to access user home directories over the WWW, it's a matter of configuring your WWW server. If you are, by any chance, using the apache www server (http://www.apache.org/), it can be accomplished by setting "UserDir" to "." in srm.conf LLaP bero From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Thu Apr 17 12:10:00 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA16751; Thu, 17 Apr 1997 12:08:28 -0500 (CDT) Received: from msccals.mdc.com (MSCCALS.MDC.COM [130.38.111.86]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA17147 for ; Thu, 17 Apr 1997 12:03:31 -0500 (CDT) Received: from [198.160.245.4] ([198.160.245.4]) by msccals.mdc.com (8.7.1/8.7.1) id MAA07018; Thu, 17 Apr 1997 12:04:09 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199704171704.MAA07018@msccals.mdc.com> Date: Thu, 17 Apr 1997 12:04:09 -0500 (CDT) Reply-To: bruce@world.std.com Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: bruce draper To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Subject: Re: ftp from within a browser does not get to homedir References: <335545F4.B92161B9@micromuse.co.uk> <3.0.1.32.19970417090027.006a66d8@sbcomp.net> X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN "ftp://username@host" gets you to the default (home) directory for username on host.

Your passwd file does not include passwords; they're stored somewhere else. On most systems, that's /etc/shadow; maybe it's somewhere else for you. Try "man adduser" or "man passwd".

I dont know Digital Unix and I dont currently run beta13, but unless its changed since beta11, you dont need to put the passwords (shadowed or not) in the public ftp directories. The chroot is done after login authentication (otherwise it knows not where to chroot to!) The only reason you put the /etc/passwd file in the ftp tree is for the ftp daemon to provide names in lieu of unix uids & gids when the client does 'ls' Regards Geofft >Digital Unix 4.0 does not use /etc/shadow for its shadowed password >files.

The answer is, if you use the dec, as opposed to osf, makefile, you pull in a config file that defines something called SECUREOSF, which then uses bigcrypt to encrypt the passwd, which you don't want, unless you're running C2. undef this variable in the config.h and you're golden. I'm sending this to wu bugs only because it is not documented in the install file. thanks beckers Here is Miguel's answer. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 18 Apr 1997 03:20:16 +0200 From: Miguel Mena To: Becki Kain Cc: Me Subject: Re: wu-ftp on du 4.0 beta 13 I just compiled beta 13 and ... I have no problems at all. How does your src/config.h look like ? make sure SECUREOSF is NOT defined. you just need it for C2 security level. "build dec" compiles fine with SECUREOSF when the OSFC2SEC4xx subset is installed, but then ftpd fails because C2 is not configured. Hope this helps.

Deliberate? It's one of those questionnable extensions :-) I suppose the author didn't foresee that Web browser would have make the PASV mode so popular :-) I agree with you, if the client always uses PASV mode for the data transfer then pdata should have been reset to -1. It may be a problem but it's very hard to know, must clients are very well behave and reissue a PASV or PORT before any data exchange. -- au revoir, alain ---- Aussi haut que l'on soit assis, on est toujours assis que sur son cul !!!

Can anyone give me a clue as to what is wrong and where? I have it running on an AIX 4.1.5 system and don't have a problem. It logs some stuff to syslogd and other stuff gets logged to the xferlog file. Which logging function do you mean? I have this in my ftpaccess file: log commands real,guest,anonymous log transfers anonymous,guest,real inbound,outbound and they work fine. Commands get logged to syslog, and transfers get logged to the xferlog file.

X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN We have been bothered by software pirates lately who use our anonymous ftp site to distribute pirated software. We have had two publicly writable directories in the anonymous ftp area /pub and /incoming, traditionally used for downloading and uploading respectively. To eject the software pirates I would like to enforce that tradition and deny uploading into /pub and uploading into /incoming. The first is easy with the context of the ftp daemon. However there is no explicit command in wu-ftpd to deny downloading from a directory. There is the noretrieve command but that only denied downloading of individual files -- as "man ftpaccess" says "No globbing is done." What I have now done is to patch wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-13 to allow the use of globbing in the noretrieve command. I know that the traditional way to handle this is to make /incoming and the files placed there unreadable by the ftp daemon. However I believe that using this hack to ftpd is easier on legitimate users. Making the directory unreadable complicates life for the hackers but does not stop them -- they still would know the name of the files they placed there and can report them as such to their hacker bulletin boards. Making the files themself unreadable is a solution more appropriate for an institution where a single person with appropriate privileges picks up the incoming files. I would like any user with an account here to be able to pick up files for them with no special arrangements. On Unix is it easy to make file readable by only a person or a group but hard to arrange permissions make it readable by everyone except by the ftp daemon. One could arrange to have a daemon move incoming files to an area inaccessible by anonymous ftp and open up the permissions on the moved files. Still, I believe that handling the problem within the ftp daemon is easier for the legitimate user to understand than such a scheme that moves the files to who-knows-where. I consider this patch a hack. I believe that the proper fix would implement a "download" command with the same syntax and options as the present "upload" command. Still, this patch did the job and was quick to implement.

I do this using the following line in my ftpaccess file: upload /export/ftp /pub/incoming yes webmaster webmstrs 0660 nodirs This sets all files loaded into the incoming directory to be owned by 'webmaster' and placed in the 'webmstrs' group. The permissions on the files are set to 660, which means that the webmasters can read the files, but no one else can.

(we found that our games section was being completely overloaded by people downloading from overseas. We split the site into 2 sections, and although they were mounted on one disk, people connecting to ftp.is.co.za couldn't download from the directory and were sent a message to connect to gamesdomain.is.co.za) I also set so that you can't do transfers of files in /lib, /etc, /bin and the rest. This could be useful, I spose.

In the current baselined version, virtual servers are only partially supported. The current implementation of virtual servers only supports setting - the root ftp directory, - the log file and - the banner. All other directives in the ftpaccess file have to be shared globally across all virtual servers. A real limitation if you wanted to have different features supported by different servers... In reviewing how virtual servers were implemented, I reread the virtual server setup FAQ. There are two different methods documented. First is the VIRTUAL support that is a part of the current beta-13 baseline. It only supports the three ftpaccess file directives listed above. The other method is the alternative method which requires tcpwrappers. It then dawned on me that the answer to completely supporting virtual servers was right in front of me. Why couldn't I simply specify which ftpaccess file to use ? If I could do that then maybe it wouldn't be a major task to add support for all access file directives (which is basically what Karl achieved using tcpwrappers). If changes were made to access_init() to determine which ftpaccess file to use (instead of the hard-coded _PATH_FTPACCESS) then all the existing acl features could be available to each individual virtual server. No need for tcpwrappers. Support for completely independent access files should be easy to add. So that's how I spent Tuesday night... ;-) Here's what I did... First I created a new file called "ftpservers" defined by the path _PATH_FTPSERVERS. The file is optional so if it's missing, the original ftpaccess (_PATH_FTPACCESS) file is used. An ftpservers file looks like the following: # # ftpservers file # # Format: # ip-address associated-ftpaccess-file # # ftpaccess file for the landfield.com domain # 208.196.145.2 /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess # # ftpaccess file for the faqs.org domain # 208.196.145.20 /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess.faqs.org # # ftpaccess file for the some.other domain # 208.196.145.55 /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess.some.other In access_init() I included a call to a new function "getaccessfilename()" that looks up the access file based on the socket address the user is coming in on. The found file is then passed to readacl() as the hard-coded _PATH_FTPACCESS was before. Other than a minor tweak, that was all that was needed. Complete virtual ftpaccess support... I am currently running it here and it seems to work just fine. It is amazing how clear things become when you take the time to study the code... ;-) I made the associated changes to ftpshut, ckconfig and my new ftprestart. The only program in the wu-ftpd suite that does not have the new virtual access file support is ftpcount. Have to get to that tomorrow night. ;) Besides allowing any virtual server to be able to set and use any ftpaccess file directive, an additional benefit is that any future extensions Stan adds to the ftpaccess file will be automatically supported for virtual servers as well. Free. All my changes were made to the latest beta-13. (If Stan brings out beta-14 in the next few days, I'll be re-incorporating them into that. It'll be much easier now. ;-)) I plan on sending these to Stan for inclusion in a upcoming version (may even drive to Houston to bribe him with a refreshment or two. ;-) Dallas isn't that far away...) I understand the situation he's in with trying to get beta-14 out and then work on a complete release. Because of that I'd like to see another site or three run these changes before I send them to him. If you're running a virtual server configuration and need more control over your individual virtual servers, have I gotta patch for you... ;) Anyone interested in running theses changes, just ask. I'll be glad to supply them to you. I also promise to support you actively during the beta of my beta. ;-) Thanks. --- Kent Landfield Phone: 1-817-545-2502 The Landfield Group FAX: 1-817-545-7650 Email: kent@landfield.com http://www.landfield.com/ Please send comp.sources.misc related mail to kent@uunet.uu.net.

If I could do I munged this a bit on our server (ftp.is.co.za and gamesdomain.is.co.za) compiling 2 versions of wu-ftpd and modifying inetd (I didn't do that bit) so that it would choose which ftpd to start depending on which IP alias was connected to. The 2 compiled versions had different #defines for the config files in them. The inetd is at ftp://ftp.is.co.za/private/oskar/inetd.kezia.tar.gz It is based on the linux inetd. The program "netd" in inner-apps-0.05.tar.gz (ftp://ftp.is.co.za/linux/networking/ipv6/inner.net or ftp.inner.net/pub/ipv6) is designed to work with ipv6, but does this elegantly with a config file similar to xinetd. Currently (as of B12) the way that wu-ftpd reads the config files is a mess... it's a good idea, but if you make a spelling mistake in the config file, it just gets ignored. This could be fixed by creating some kind of list of valid tags (so at least the first entry, such as "class" or "message" would be checked)...

While I don't like the way things can be ignored, I'm hesitant to load up the server with error checking that has to be done on every connect. That could be a bit of a performance problem.... What would make sense though is to put that kind of checking in a program outside the server. If ckconfig were expanded to be smart about file formats and did serious checking then an administrator could check the formats after any changes. If the admin didn't use it to verify the syntax, well, that's their problem. Does this make sense to others ? If so I'll play with ckconfig a bit.

Currently the virtual server options which are supported in the ftpacces file is the virtual root directory, the banner message file to be supplied for that virtual server and the logfile in which to put that virtual server's transfer logs in. ALL the other setting in the ftpacces file are shared across all the virtual servers. Currently you cannot deny access to unresolved IP addresses in one virtual server without applying that policy decision to all virtual servers served on that machine. You cannot have different directory aliases, email addresses, cdpaths, passwd-checks etc.. They must all be shared. Now they don't and the site admin has real granularity when it comes to setting up a virtual server. -- Kent Landfield Phone: 1-817-545-2502 The Landfield Group FAX: 1-817-545-7650 Email: kent@landfield.com http://www.landfield.com/ Please send comp.sources.misc related mail to kent@uunet.uu.net.

You don't say what version of the program you're using, or what OS you're running on, or whether the problem occurs for both anonymous and regular users, so it's a bit tricky to comment. However, I know that under Solaris 2 if you don't include the relevant timezone information under your anonymous root directory, then anonymous users won't see the date corrected for the timezone. Sounds like this could be your problem. On my Solaris 2 box, this meant having a ~ftp/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo with appropriate contents. Check the ftpd man page originally supplied with your OS and see what it says about this. It should tell you what to copy to get an anonymous set up working correctly. As far as logging transfers goes, there are two things to check that come to mind... a) Have you put a line in your ftpaccess file to tell the server to log transfers ? (eg. "log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound") b) If so, are you starting the server with the -a option ? Without this (unless you have an old version of the program) it won't read your ftpaccess file, so it won't know it is meant to do any logging. Hope this helps !

If so I'll play with ckconfig a bit. > (The name conflicts with another ckconfig program on the net but that's > another issue... ;-)) While I suspect that the overhead for syntaxing the command file would not really be all that significant, it does bring up the issue of how the daemon would respond if it found a problem... Not much use telling the client, as they don't have any control over the file in the first place - nor would they be expecting any feedback of this sort. And I do agree that syntaxing the file everytime the server is started should not be necessary, whatever the overhead - it shouldn't change often, so the process you've suggested or running ckconfig to check the syntax immediately after it has been changed makes a great deal of sense. I think the suggestion is a good idea. You could do this in ckconfig, or perhaps in separate program, since you probably don't need to check the rest of the configuration every time you make a simple change to the ftpaccess file. (Or this could be a command line switch to ckconfig. Whatever.)

This is *not* the same vulnerability as described in CERT advisory CA-95:16.wu-ftpd.vul, which refers to a misconfiguration of _PATH_EXECPATH. Our _PATH_EXECPATH is configured correctly. I've just now subscribed to this mailing list, so please forgive my ignorance of previously discussed issues. The host which was attacked is a Sun Ultra running Solaris 2.5.1. The version of wu-ftpd is wu-2.4(4) which was compiled by us on 13-aug-1996 from sources which were available around 8-may-1996 from the wuarchive site. The perpetrator had a script named "over" which had the capability of overwriting any file on the system. Some header comments from "over"... # exploit a bug in wu-ftpd to create a file anywhere on the filesystem # - files that already exist will be overwritten, but they won't # be writable. # # tested under Solaris 2.5 # # James Abendschan jwa@nbs.nau.edu 16 Oct 1996 # I will not release the details of the script for the usual security reasons. The perpetrator either maliciously or stupidly overwrote the passwd file on this unix host, rendering the system inaccessible and causing about a half day's loss of service to the campus while we traced through logs and directories discovering what had been done and what had been damaged. My questions are directed mainly to the maintainers of the wu-ftpd software: 1. Is this a known bug? 2. If known, has it been fixed in the current 2.4 patch release?

And of course it will follow any symbolic links the easiest way to make wu-ftpd core dump is to issue a PASV command without doing the user/pass first ex: telnet locahost ftp 200- 200- .... pasv the server will core dump if you know where just make a symlink to /etc/passwd or the bug in ftp_popen() if the argument is over 100 do something like ls a a a a a a a .... over 100 or site exec index a a a a a a a a a a a a a over a 100 args the server will crash also All those issues and more that you are not aware where corrected in the beta release's Just upgrade the server > > Thanks very much.

I'm working on using "guestgroup" with wu-ftpd beta 13. Because of some kind of Solaris (2.5.1) only bug, files uploaded into user created directories do not get set to the user/group ownership specified in the ftpaccess file (yes, I've reported this bug). Evan Champion once offered to send out patches that addressed this issue by using something called :user: and :group: tags. He was waiting for beta-13 release, I got assigned to other things and we haven't connected up since (I sent him personal email before trying here now). Does anyone have these patches for previous releases or applied them to the current release? I really need to get the dir/file ownership issue resolved. Thanks!

We needed one machine to respond to 3 separate IP address as if it were 3 separate machines. I used Brian Kramer's patch to setup virtual ftp server's. It can be found at http://www.westnet.com/providers/multi-wu-ftpd.txt. Here's the short version: 1. Setup Virtual IP Addresses 2. Install Brian's Patch ( patch < multi-wu-ftpd.txt) 3. I needed to manually change the make file because the patch didn't change it and because I needed to add an additional to get wu-ftp to compile with Linux. I changed line 4 from CFLAGS = -O2 ${IFLAGS} ${LFLAGS} to CFLAGS = -O -DVIRTUAL -DDEBUG ${IFLAGS} ${LFLAGS} -DDIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS 4. build lnx, build install It works like a charm. >>> Becki Kain 04/28/97 09:21pm >>> is this a dead issue?

It would give inetd a nice break. I've had relatively major problems keeping inetd working correctly. Every few min (esp with high users) I have to hup inetd to keep it going. I always get inetd[123]: ftp/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated and I'm assuming that it is the result of too many requests coming in and not enough system resources to get them open fast enough (the stupid incredibly slow ide drive.) As far as the rest goes, I don't have a patch but might decide to look into it and I will gladly email academ. Thanks for the feedback...

So now I'm thinking it must happen during file receive? Before I fire up the debugger I'm hoping someone has some clues on this. BTW, I am running 'stock' wu-ftpd 2.4 under AIX. I do plan on upgrading to the latest at some point, but I've some custom authentication stuff in there and it would be more effort than I can handle right now to move it. I would rather just fix this one bug for now.. Any help would be very much appreciated.

What about nowait.120? I think that's what you were looking for - ie 'max' isn't a keyword, but rather, a number that you substitute whereever you see the 'max' parameter mentioned. Then after making change, do a killall -HUP inetd for it to take effect on *cough* *cough* Linux *cough* machine.

You use guest group accounts which get chrooted to the home directory (any path beyond the /./ is the directory they get defaulted too eg user:x:210:100:::/usr/home/user/./public_html will cause the user to get chrooted to /usr/home/user and deposited in the public_html subdirectory. You create a group lets say guests and in the ftpaccess file you define that group as a guest group. eg class guests guest *.some.domain #defines the members of guests as having class attributes of the guest class (attributes the get assigned to the class guest in ftpaccess) guestgroup guests #defines guests as a guest group (so they get chrooted).
