We would like to know whether this version of WU-FTP software has been tested for interoperability against other RFC 959 conformant client implementations from various hardware vendors (e.g. DEC, Hp, Sun, IBM, etc). If it is so please let us know of any vendor products (and platforms) where interoperability exists or about any problems you experienced or you heard about.

This causes problems as the SysV #include files are being used then the binary is being linked against libucb. The fix, which I will submit to wu-ftpd-bugs@academ.com is in src/makefiles/Makefile.uxw, add -lc before -lucb in the LIBES line.

With Beta13 everything compiles fine, but when I try and make the connection to Oracle the connection fails. The data being passed look identical in the two releases. I'm running in Irix 6.2. Has anyone come across compile options, defines etc that may be needed in Beta 13. Many hours have been spent comparing code and verifying the connection to oracle with stand alone programs without being able to figure out whats causing the failure when compiled with Beta 13. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most of these were not bug reports. Some are questions that were answered in the documentation or the various FAQs. Some were bug reports about previous beta releases that have already been fixed in the latest beta (13). A few were complaints about some fundamental design decisions made when wu-ftpd was created. Some were questions I did answer and have closed. Some were notes about successful compliations of beta 13 or beta 12 on platforms to which I have not access. Some were offers of patches that never materialized. In any case, they are all closed. They are not relevant to beta 14 or any future release. If you don't see that your ticket number is mentioned here and it was not mentioned as being a closed ticket or bug fix in the beta 13 distribution, you should assume it is open. Some of these open tickets will be closed as bug fixes. A few will remain open as they are feature enhancements. These feature enhancements will be discussed on this list when I am ready to start outlining the details of release 2.5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 7 from Fredrik Nyman concerns problems making the ftpaccess file work on IRIX 5.3. I can't reproduce this since I don't have access to IRIX and other who do don't report this as being a problem. My guess is that there is no "-a" at the end of the /etc/inetd.conf line for starting ftpd. [I should have closed this sooner, but didn't.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 9 from Frank Jacquette reports a problem compiling 2.4.2 on AIX. This problem is known to have been addressed on or before beta 13 so this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 39 from Nathan Neulinger concerns a problem with signal 10 aborts on HP/UX. I believe this problem was fixed in beta 13. I am closing this ticket since I can't reproduce his problem without access to HP/UX. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 48 from Scott Mulligan was a request to talk to me about something. We never made contact. He didn't acknowledge my followup message. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 68 from was not a bug report but a request for more assistance in understanding how virtual ftp support works on wu-ftpd. This ticket is closed since it is not a bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 99 from Becki Kain offered some suggeestions for the configuration of wu-ftpd on Digital Unix. These changes were already included in beta 13. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 101 from Ian Willis askes about the use of "user@" and "user@host" conventions for anonymous ftp. This is not a bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 116 from James Ford offers to compile wu-ftpd on some AIX machines. This is not a bug report. However, I would welcome any reports concerning AIX compliations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tickets 127, 171 & 240 from Becki Kain offers to compile wu-ftpd on Digital Unix 4.0. This is not a bug report. However, I would welcome any reports concerning Digital Unix compliations. So, Becki, go ahead and compile away. Send me a report after you do it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 128 from Bernhard Rosenkraenzer reports that ftpaccess is not being seen on Linux. However, he does not provide any information concerning the /etc/inetd.conf line for starting ftpd. Since I can't reproduce this bug on Linux, this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 144 from Andrew Ford reported a bug in beta-11 that I can't produce in beta 13. It concerned the use of the dirs and nodirs option in different upload commands in the ftpaccess file. He said that they interfered with each other. Since I can't produce it in beta 13, this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 148 from Ian Willis suggested a modification for Beta 12 that was already added, but I apparently didn't notice his ticket until this go round. Since this issue has been addressed, the ticket is closed. [The change was specific for SCO 5 and concerned defining SIGURG as SIGUSR1.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 150 from sroberts@smtpgwy.isinet.com offers to compile wu-ftpd on some AIX machines. This is not a bug report. However, I would welcome any reports concerning AIX compliations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 151 from marekm@i17linuxb.ists.pwr.wroc.pl (Marek Michalkiewicz) reported a bug in Virtual Root processing that has been fixed prior to beta 14 release. The bug in attempting to reuse space allocated to pw->pw-dir instead of freeing and resizing it to a size that can hold the virtual root directory. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 176 from Danielle Hopkins report that compiling beta 12 on Digital Unix 3.2 with enhanced security is not working. I believe this issue was resolved in beta 13. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 198 from Ian Willis suggested a modification for Beta 12 concering the form of the ps command used in ftpwho and ftpcount. Since I reversed the change in beta-13, the problem that this addresses no longer exists. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 199 from Roman Gnatenko reported that "cd ~" did not work in version 2.4. It does work fine in beta-13, so this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 200 from Alvaro Fdez Lago reports success building beta-12 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 202 from Andrew Maltsev reported the duplicate printf selector when a bad shell reply was going to be made. This was fixed before beta-14 and is now closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 213 from Randall J. Wormser didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 224 from Michael Eisele and 293 from Gary Mills reported a problem with an extra %s in a printf that was in beta 12 but fixed in beta 13. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 230 from Jon Madison reports successful compilation of beta 12 on IRIX 6.2 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 245 from Kevin Hoffer didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 258 from Michael E Quan appears to be another person who didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 259 from appears to be another person who didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 261 from Jon Madison reports successful complilation of beta 13 on IRIX 6.2 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 268 from Andrew R. Orndorff offered some patches for AIX, but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 273 from Usuario-Moisis wants to know how to use BISON in place of YACC on AIX. I don't know. I have to close this ticket. Maybe someone else can help him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 278 from Ignacio de Cordoba is having problems getting "ls" and "dir" to work, which is a common problem that usually involves properly setting up the environment. It is not a wu-ftpd problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 280 from Hannu Laurila illustrates a common misconception about the use of a dash as the first character in a password. This is a feature to turn off extended messages. If the user has a dash as the first character of his/her password, then that dash must be preceeded with another dash as an "escape" character to insure that the password is correctly understood. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 291 from Sergio Javier Klarreich appeared to just be a pleasant greeting. It does not appear to report a bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 296 from Jim Easton bet a month's salary that there was an alias on my development platforms for cc. He was wrong, but I asked him to give the money to charity. I don't know if he did. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 318 from John R. Long illustrates a common misconception about the use of a dash as the first character in a password. This is a feature to turn off extended messages. If the user has a dash as the first character of his/her password, then that dash must be preceeded with another dash as an "escape" character to insure that the password is correctly understood. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 321 from Are Bryne asked a variety of questions about the upload directive in ftpaccess. I have answered him in private mail. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 324 from Johannes Ruscheinski offered some patches for Linux, but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 331 from Emil Isberg noted that he was having no problems with beta-13 on Solaris 2.5 or 2.5.1.This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. Also, beta-14 is the first release of the server to be tested by me on Solaris 2.5.1, so it will be the first one for which I can accept bug reports with any hopes of reproducing it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 351 from is trying to setup "guestgroup" and has apparently failed to do so. I have directed him to the FAQ and have heard nothing more from him. So, I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tickets 352 & 353 from Frank Winkler is trying to setup the server on Solaris, but apparently does not have all the devices and shared libaries in place to make it possible for "ls" to work. I suggested some things for him to investigate, but have heard nothing further. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 363 from Gary Mills is complaining about about the use of a dash as the first character in a password being used to turn off extended messages. Since this feature has been part of the server long before I took over maintenance, I am not going to change the behavior in this release. That's just the way it has to be. If the folks on the mailing list can come up with a better solution that we can implement in a future release, I am willing to consider it, but not for release 2.4.2 or 2.4.3. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 366 from Paul Whittenburg offers some documentation fixes for the ftpaccess page but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 367 from Jun-ichiro Itoh reported a problem with an extra %s in a printf that was in beta 12 but fixed in beta 13. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Mon Aug 4 03:45:00 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id DAA00396; Mon, 4 Aug 1997 03:38:28 -0500 (CDT) Received: from gate.teledata.co.uk (root@gate-isdn.teledata.co.uk [194.152.83.193]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id DAA06570 for ; Mon, 4 Aug 1997 03:33:24 -0500 (CDT) Received: from defcon1.prestel.net(really [193.114.49.208]) by gate.teledata.co.uk via rsmtp with esmtp id for ; Mon, 4 Aug 97 09:34:14 +0100 (BST) (/\##/\ Smail3.1.30.13 #30.13 built 31-aug-95) Message-Id: <33E592C1.AFA8D612@prestel.net> Date: Mon, 04 Aug 1997 09:28:49 +0100 Reply-To: webadmin@prestel.net Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: webadmin To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Subject: login prob.

Hey, that does help a little. Still no xferlog, but now I get gibberish like this in the daemon.log syslog file: Aug 4 22:08:35 foo ftpd[20717]: -i 0,-o 0,xferlog /usr/local/logs/xferlog: 0 What does this mean? It looks like it must be this bit in ftpd.c: #ifdef DEBUG /* I had a lot of trouble getting xferlog working, because of two factors: acl_setfunctions making stupid assumptions, and sprintf LOSING. _H*/ /* * Actually, sprintf was not losing, but the rules changed... next release * this will be fixed the correct way, but right now, it works well enough * -- sob */ syslog (LOG_INFO, "-i %d,-o %d,xferlog %s: %d", log_incoming_xfers, log_outbound_xfers, logfile, xferlog); #endif enable_signaling(); /* we can allow signals once again: kinch */ (about line #1486 in this version) This seems to be the only thing that ever gets logged for any connection at any time. Everything's "0". I know I've done some transfers & that something should be tallied. Why am I not seeing any thing else at all in log files, no login, no other commands? Why, when I remove the file xferlogs, does it not complain? Just more -i 0,-o 0,xferlog /usr/local/logs/xferlog: 0 for every connection.

Most of these were not bug reports. Some are questions that were answered in the documentation or the various FAQs. Some were bug reports about previous beta releases that have already been fixed in the latest beta (13). A few were complaints about some fundamental design decisions made when wu-ftpd was created. Some were questions I did answer and have closed. Some were notes about successful compliations of beta 13 or beta 12 on platforms to which I have not access. Some were offers of patches that never materialized. In any case, they are all closed. They are not relevant to beta 14 or any future release. If you don't see that your ticket number is mentioned here and it was not mentioned as being a closed ticket or bug fix in the beta 13 distribution, you should assume it is open. Some of these open tickets will be closed as bug fixes. A few will remain open as they are feature enhancements. These feature enhancements will be discussed on this list when I am ready to start outlining the details of release 2.5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 7 from Fredrik Nyman concerns problems making the ftpaccess file work on IRIX 5.3. I can't reproduce this since I don't have access to IRIX and other who do don't report this as being a problem. My guess is that there is no "-a" at the end of the /etc/inetd.conf line for starting ftpd. [I should have closed this sooner, but didn't.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 9 from Frank Jacquette reports a problem compiling 2.4.2 on AIX. This problem is known to have been addressed on or before beta 13 so this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 39 from Nathan Neulinger concerns a problem with signal 10 aborts on HP/UX. I believe this problem was fixed in beta 13. I am closing this ticket since I can't reproduce his problem without access to HP/UX. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 48 from Scott Mulligan was a request to talk to me about something. We never made contact. He didn't acknowledge my followup message. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 68 from was not a bug report but a request for more assistance in understanding how virtual ftp support works on wu-ftpd. This ticket is closed since it is not a bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 99 from Becki Kain offered some suggeestions for the configuration of wu-ftpd on Digital Unix. These changes were already included in beta 13. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 101 from Ian Willis askes about the use of "user@" and "user@host" conventions for anonymous ftp. This is not a bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 116 from James Ford offers to compile wu-ftpd on some AIX machines. This is not a bug report. However, I would welcome any reports concerning AIX compliations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tickets 127, 171 & 240 from Becki Kain offers to compile wu-ftpd on Digital Unix 4.0. This is not a bug report. However, I would welcome any reports concerning Digital Unix compliations. So, Becki, go ahead and compile away. Send me a report after you do it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 128 from Bernhard Rosenkraenzer reports that ftpaccess is not being seen on Linux. However, he does not provide any information concerning the /etc/inetd.conf line for starting ftpd. Since I can't reproduce this bug on Linux, this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 144 from Andrew Ford reported a bug in beta-11 that I can't produce in beta 13. It concerned the use of the dirs and nodirs option in different upload commands in the ftpaccess file. He said that they interfered with each other. Since I can't produce it in beta 13, this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 148 from Ian Willis suggested a modification for Beta 12 that was already added, but I apparently didn't notice his ticket until this go round. Since this issue has been addressed, the ticket is closed. [The change was specific for SCO 5 and concerned defining SIGURG as SIGUSR1.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 150 from sroberts@smtpgwy.isinet.com offers to compile wu-ftpd on some AIX machines. This is not a bug report. However, I would welcome any reports concerning AIX compliations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 151 from marekm@i17linuxb.ists.pwr.wroc.pl (Marek Michalkiewicz) reported a bug in Virtual Root processing that has been fixed prior to beta 14 release. The bug in attempting to reuse space allocated to pw->pw-dir instead of freeing and resizing it to a size that can hold the virtual root directory. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 176 from Danielle Hopkins report that compiling beta 12 on Digital Unix 3.2 with enhanced security is not working. I believe this issue was resolved in beta 13. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 198 from Ian Willis suggested a modification for Beta 12 concering the form of the ps command used in ftpwho and ftpcount. Since I reversed the change in beta-13, the problem that this addresses no longer exists. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 199 from Roman Gnatenko reported that "cd ~" did not work in version 2.4. It does work fine in beta-13, so this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 200 from Alvaro Fdez Lago reports success building beta-12 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 202 from Andrew Maltsev reported the duplicate printf selector when a bad shell reply was going to be made. This was fixed before beta-14 and is now closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 213 from Randall J. Wormser didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 224 from Michael Eisele and 293 from Gary Mills reported a problem with an extra %s in a printf that was in beta 12 but fixed in beta 13. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 230 from Jon Madison reports successful compilation of beta 12 on IRIX 6.2 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 245 from Kevin Hoffer didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 251 from Neuromancer reported that some form of shadow passwords don't work correctly with beta-13 under Linux. I could not reproduce this on RedHat 4.0. So, I have closed this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 258 from Michael E Quan appears to be another person who didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 259 from appears to be another person who didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 261 from Jon Madison reports successful complilation of beta 13 on IRIX 6.2 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 268 from Andrew R. Orndorff offered some patches for AIX, but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 273 from Usuario-Moisis wants to know how to use BISON in place of YACC on AIX. I don't know. I have to close this ticket. Maybe someone else can help him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 278 from Ignacio de Cordoba is having problems getting "ls" and "dir" to work, which is a common problem that usually involves properly setting up the environment. It is not a wu-ftpd problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 280 from Hannu Laurila illustrates a common misconception about the use of a dash as the first character in a password. This is a feature to turn off extended messages. If the user has a dash as the first character of his/her password, then that dash must be preceeded with another dash as an "escape" character to insure that the password is correctly understood. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 291 from Sergio Javier Klarreich appeared to just be a pleasant greeting. It does not appear to report a bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 296 from Jim Easton bet a month's salary that there was an alias on my development platforms for cc. He was wrong, but I asked him to give the money to charity. I don't know if he did. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 318 from John R. Long illustrates a common misconception about the use of a dash as the first character in a password. This is a feature to turn off extended messages. If the user has a dash as the first character of his/her password, then that dash must be preceeded with another dash as an "escape" character to insure that the password is correctly understood. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 321 from Are Bryne asked a variety of questions about the upload directive in ftpaccess. I have answered him in private mail. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 324 from Johannes Ruscheinski offered some patches for Linux, but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 331 from Emil Isberg noted that he was having no problems with beta-13 on Solaris 2.5 or 2.5.1.This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. Also, beta-14 is the first release of the server to be tested by me on Solaris 2.5.1, so it will be the first one for which I can accept bug reports with any hopes of reproducing it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 351 from is trying to setup "guestgroup" and has apparently failed to do so. I have directed him to the FAQ and have heard nothing more from him. So, I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tickets 352 & 353 from Frank Winkler is trying to setup the server on Solaris, but apparently does not have all the devices and shared libaries in place to make it possible for "ls" to work. I suggested some things for him to investigate, but have heard nothing further. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 363 from Gary Mills is complaining about about the use of a dash as the first character in a password being used to turn off extended messages. Since this feature has been part of the server long before I took over maintenance, I am not going to change the behavior in this release. That's just the way it has to be. If the folks on the mailing list can come up with a better solution that we can implement in a future release, I am willing to consider it, but not for release 2.4.2 or 2.4.3. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 366 from Paul Whittenburg offers some documentation fixes for the ftpaccess page but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 367 from Jun-ichiro Itoh reported a problem with an extra %s in a printf that was in beta 12 but fixed in beta 13. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 374 from Ryan Rawson claimed that virutal hosting didn't work on Linux 2.0.29 and 2.0.30. This may be true. I could not reproduce the problem on RedHat 4.0, so I can fix it. I think he is right about it being a kernel or library problem. This ticket is closed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Tue Aug 5 05:16:20 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id FAA02278; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 05:10:46 -0500 (CDT) Received: from news.IAEhv.nl (root@news.IAEhv.nl [194.151.64.4]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id FAA17580 for ; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 05:06:01 -0500 (CDT) Received: from LOCAL (uucp@localhost) by news.IAEhv.nl (8.6.13/1.63) with IAEhv.nl; pid 28424 on Tue, 5 Aug 1997 10:05:58 GMT; id KAA28424 efrom: news@Garfield.IAEhv.nl; eto: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Received: (from news@localhost) by Garfield.IAEhv.nl (8.8.6/8.8.5) id KAA26897; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 10:01:35 +0200 Message-Id: <5s6mkv$poo$1@Garfield.IAEhv.nl> Date: 5 Aug 1997 08:01:35 GMT Reply-To: Perry.Rovers@IAE.nl Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: Perry.Rovers@IAE.nl To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Subject: Re: ls output References: X-Sender: Perry Rovers X-no-archive: yes X-bofh-archive: yes X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 unoff BETA 970324; i586 Linux 2.0.28] X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN Pink elephants with an attitude inspired tonym to tell garfield.mail.wu-ftpd: : If you copy those files to ~ftp/etc, isn't "noretrieve (all above files)" : suficient to protect your machine from Joe Hacker ?

This is not a bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 116 from James Ford offers to compile wu-ftpd on some AIX machines. This is not a bug report. However, I would welcome any reports concerning AIX compliations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tickets 127, 171 & 240 from Becki Kain offers to compile wu-ftpd on Digital Unix 4.0. This is not a bug report. However, I would welcome any reports concerning Digital Unix compliations. So, Becki, go ahead and compile away. Send me a report after you do it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 128 from Bernhard Rosenkraenzer reports that ftpaccess is not being seen on Linux. However, he does not provide any information concerning the /etc/inetd.conf line for starting ftpd. Since I can't reproduce this bug on Linux, this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 144 from Andrew Ford reported a bug in beta-11 that I can't produce in beta 13. It concerned the use of the dirs and nodirs option in different upload commands in the ftpaccess file. He said that they interfered with each other. Since I can't produce it in beta 13, this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 148 from Ian Willis suggested a modification for Beta 12 that was already added, but I apparently didn't notice his ticket until this go round. Since this issue has been addressed, the ticket is closed. [The change was specific for SCO 5 and concerned defining SIGURG as SIGUSR1.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 150 from sroberts@smtpgwy.isinet.com offers to compile wu-ftpd on some AIX machines. This is not a bug report. However, I would welcome any reports concerning AIX compliations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 151 from marekm@i17linuxb.ists.pwr.wroc.pl (Marek Michalkiewicz) reported a bug in Virtual Root processing that has been fixed prior to beta 14 release. The bug in attempting to reuse space allocated to pw->pw-dir instead of freeing and resizing it to a size that can hold the virtual root directory. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 176 from Danielle Hopkins report that compiling beta 12 on Digital Unix 3.2 with enhanced security is not working. I believe this issue was resolved in beta 13. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 198 from Ian Willis suggested a modification for Beta 12 concering the form of the ps command used in ftpwho and ftpcount. Since I reversed the change in beta-13, the problem that this addresses no longer exists. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 199 from Roman Gnatenko reported that "cd ~" did not work in version 2.4. It does work fine in beta-13, so this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 200 from Alvaro Fdez Lago reports success building beta-12 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 202 from Andrew Maltsev reported the duplicate printf selector when a bad shell reply was going to be made. This was fixed before beta-14 and is now closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 213 from Randall J. Wormser didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 224 from Michael Eisele and 293 from Gary Mills reported a problem with an extra %s in a printf that was in beta 12 but fixed in beta 13. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 230 from Jon Madison reports successful compilation of beta 12 on IRIX 6.2 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 245 from Kevin Hoffer didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 251 from Neuromancer reported that some form of shadow passwords don't work correctly with beta-13 under Linux. I could not reproduce this on RedHat 4.0. So, I have closed this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 258 from Michael E Quan appears to be another person who didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 259 from appears to be another person who didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 261 from Jon Madison reports successful complilation of beta 13 on IRIX 6.2 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 268 from Andrew R. Orndorff offered some patches for AIX, but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 273 from Usuario-Moisis wants to know how to use BISON in place of YACC on AIX. I don't know. I have to close this ticket. Maybe someone else can help him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 278 from Ignacio de Cordoba is having problems getting "ls" and "dir" to work, which is a common problem that usually involves properly setting up the environment. It is not a wu-ftpd problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 280 from Hannu Laurila illustrates a common misconception about the use of a dash as the first character in a password. This is a feature to turn off extended messages. If the user has a dash as the first character of his/her password, then that dash must be preceeded with another dash as an "escape" character to insure that the password is correctly understood. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 291 from Sergio Javier Klarreich appeared to just be a pleasant greeting. It does not appear to report a bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 296 from Jim Easton bet a month's salary that there was an alias on my development platforms for cc. He was wrong, but I asked him to give the money to charity. I don't know if he did. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 318 from John R. Long illustrates a common misconception about the use of a dash as the first character in a password. This is a feature to turn off extended messages. If the user has a dash as the first character of his/her password, then that dash must be preceeded with another dash as an "escape" character to insure that the password is correctly understood. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 321 from Are Bryne asked a variety of questions about the upload directive in ftpaccess. I have answered him in private mail. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 324 from Johannes Ruscheinski offered some patches for Linux, but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 331 from Emil Isberg noted that he was having no problems with beta-13 on Solaris 2.5 or 2.5.1.This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. Also, beta-14 is the first release of the server to be tested by me on Solaris 2.5.1, so it will be the first one for which I can accept bug reports with any hopes of reproducing it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 351 from is trying to setup "guestgroup" and has apparently failed to do so. I have directed him to the FAQ and have heard nothing more from him. So, I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tickets 352 & 353 from Frank Winkler is trying to setup the server on Solaris, but apparently does not have all the devices and shared libaries in place to make it possible for "ls" to work. I suggested some things for him to investigate, but have heard nothing further. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 363 from Gary Mills is complaining about about the use of a dash as the first character in a password being used to turn off extended messages. Since this feature has been part of the server long before I took over maintenance, I am not going to change the behavior in this release. That's just the way it has to be. If the folks on the mailing list can come up with a better solution that we can implement in a future release, I am willing to consider it, but not for release 2.4.2 or 2.4.3. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 366 from Paul Whittenburg offers some documentation fixes for the ftpaccess page but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 367 from Jun-ichiro Itoh reported a problem with an extra %s in a printf that was in beta 12 but fixed in beta 13. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 369 from Mark Bergman said that he could not get beta 13 to compile on Solaris 2.5 becuase of a number of missing files. I believe he had a bad copy of the distribution since I could not reproduce this problem on Solaris 2.5.1 or 2.4. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 374 from Ryan Rawson claimed that virutal hosting didn't work on Linux 2.0.29 and 2.0.30. This may be true. I could not reproduce the problem on RedHat 4.0, so I can fix it. I think he is right about it being a kernel or library problem. This ticket is closed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Wed Aug 6 12:15:42 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA21595; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 12:05:11 -0500 (CDT) Received: from socks1.raleigh.ibm.com (socks1.raleigh.ibm.com [204.146.167.124]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA01054 for ; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 12:01:08 -0500 (CDT) Received: from rtpmail02.raleigh.ibm.com by socks1.raleigh.ibm.com (AIX 4.1/UCB 5.64/RTP-FW1.0) id AA23310; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 13:00:58 -0400 Received: from houns01.houston.ibm.com (houns01.houston.ibm.com [9.35.40.2]) by rtpmail02.raleigh.ibm.com (8.8.5/8.8.5/RTP-ral-1.1) with SMTP id NAA23010 for ; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 13:01:00 -0400 Received: by houns01.houston.ibm.com(Lotus SMTP MTA v1.1 (385.6 5-6-1997)) id 862564EB.005D7690 ; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 12:00:52 -0500 Message-Id: <862564EB.005D1A92.00@houns01.houston.ibm.com> Date: Wed, 6 Aug 1997 12:00:50 -0500 Reply-To: tran@raleigh.ibm.com Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: tran@raleigh.ibm.com To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII X-Lotus-Fromdomain: HPSI X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN Thank you all for the suggestions.

If so you may have to do a little customization, depending on the version (at least I did). What are the specific failure messages? You might take the failure numbers and run them down in the source to see what causes the failure. Go over the details of the guest howto very carefully; it only takes one missed one to goof it up. -- Michael From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Sun Aug 10 04:27:47 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id EAA24822; Sun, 10 Aug 1997 04:20:34 -0500 (CDT) Received: from owlman.academ.com (sob@OWLMAN.ACADEM.COM [198.137.249.5]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id EAA25014 for ; Sun, 10 Aug 1997 04:12:41 -0500 (CDT) Received: (from sob@localhost) by owlman.academ.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) id EAA02300 for wu-ftpd@mail.wustl.edu; Sun, 10 Aug 1997 04:12:38 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199708100912.EAA02300@owlman.academ.com> Date: Sun, 10 Aug 1997 04:12:38 -0500 (CDT) Reply-To: sob@owlman.academ.com Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: sob@owlman.academ.com (Stan Barber) To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Subject: Latest CLOSED-TICKETS-14 (getting really close now!) X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN CLOSED-TICKETS (BETA 14) This note contains a summary of all tickets closed before the release of beta 14. Most of these were not bug reports. Some are questions that were answered in the documentation or the various FAQs. Some were bug reports about previous beta releases that have already been fixed in the latest beta (13). A few were complaints about some fundamental design decisions made when wu-ftpd was created. Some were questions I did answer and have closed. Some were notes about successful compliations of beta 13 or beta 12 on platforms to which I have not access. Some were offers of patches that never materialized. In any case, they are all closed. They are not relevant to beta 14 or any future release. If you don't see that your ticket number is mentioned here and it was not mentioned as being a closed ticket or bug fix in the beta 13 distribution, you should assume it is open. Some of these open tickets will be closed as bug fixes. A few will remain open as they are feature enhancements. These feature enhancements will be discussed on this list when I am ready to start outlining the details of release 2.5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 7 from Fredrik Nyman concerns problems making the ftpaccess file work on IRIX 5.3. I can't reproduce this since I don't have access to IRIX and other who do don't report this as being a problem. My guess is that there is no "-a" at the end of the /etc/inetd.conf line for starting ftpd. [I should have closed this sooner, but didn't.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 9 from Frank Jacquette reports a problem compiling 2.4.2 on AIX. This problem is known to have been addressed on or before beta 13 so this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 34 from Jan Prikryl offered to send some changes relevant to IRIX 6.2, but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 39 from Nathan Neulinger concerns a problem with signal 10 aborts on HP/UX. I believe this problem was fixed in beta 13. I am closing this ticket since I can't reproduce his problem without access to HP/UX. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 48 from Scott Mulligan was a request to talk to me about something. We never made contact. He didn't acknowledge my followup message. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 53 from Steve Doty claimed to have problems using the betas and the guestgroup function. His message was not clear on exactly what the problem was, but never answered my request for more information. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 68 from was not a bug report but a request for more assistance in understanding how virtual ftp support works on wu-ftpd. This ticket is closed since it is not a bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 78 from Stephen Cliffe reported a problem using "ls" under wu-ftpd on Solaris 2.5. I can't reproduce this under Solaris 2.4 or Solaris 2.5.1, so I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tickets 89 and 91 from Sam Hulick reported a problem using "ls -l" with wu-ftpd but did not identify the platform. He did not respond to my requests for more information, so I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 93 from Ricardo Malta reported a problem using ls on beta 10 under AIX. Others have reported success doing this, but unfortunately, I have no AIX to work with so I can reproduce this. I have closed this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 99 from Becki Kain offered some suggeestions for the configuration of wu-ftpd on Digital Unix. These changes were already included in beta 13. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 101 from Ian Willis askes about the use of "user@" and "user@host" conventions for anonymous ftp. This is not a bug report. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 104 from Tim Hogard suggested that using a default salt of "xx" might possibly be exploited when attempting to login via the server. I don't know of a senario given the logic in the software in which this might be true. Perhaps someone can provide one. In the meantime, I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 116 from James Ford offers to compile wu-ftpd on some AIX machines. This is not a bug report. However, I would welcome any reports concerning AIX compliations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tickets 127, 171 & 240 from Becki Kain offers to compile wu-ftpd on Digital Unix 4.0. This is not a bug report. However, I would welcome any reports concerning Digital Unix compliations. So, Becki, go ahead and compile away. Send me a report after you do it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 128 from Bernhard Rosenkraenzer reports that ftpaccess is not being seen on Linux. However, he does not provide any information concerning the /etc/inetd.conf line for starting ftpd. Since I can't reproduce this bug on Linux, this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 144 from Andrew Ford reported a bug in beta-11 that I can't produce in beta 13. It concerned the use of the dirs and nodirs option in different upload commands in the ftpaccess file. He said that they interfered with each other. Since I can't produce it in beta 13, this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 148 from Ian Willis suggested a modification for Beta 12 that was already added, but I apparently didn't notice his ticket until this go round. Since this issue has been addressed, the ticket is closed. [The change was specific for SCO 5 and concerned defining SIGURG as SIGUSR1.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 150 from sroberts@smtpgwy.isinet.com offers to compile wu-ftpd on some AIX machines. This is not a bug report. However, I would welcome any reports concerning AIX compliations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 151 from marekm@i17linuxb.ists.pwr.wroc.pl (Marek Michalkiewicz) reported a bug in Virtual Root processing that has been fixed prior to beta 14 release. The bug in attempting to reuse space allocated to pw->pw-dir instead of freeing and resizing it to a size that can hold the virtual root directory. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 176 from Danielle Hopkins report that compiling beta 12 on Digital Unix 3.2 with enhanced security is not working. I believe this issue was resolved in beta 13. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 198 from Ian Willis suggested a modification for Beta 12 concering the form of the ps command used in ftpwho and ftpcount. Since I reversed the change in beta-13, the problem that this addresses no longer exists. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 199 from Roman Gnatenko reported that "cd ~" did not work in version 2.4. It does work fine in beta-13, so this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 200 from Alvaro Fdez Lago reports success building beta-12 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 202 from Andrew Maltsev reported the duplicate printf selector when a bad shell reply was going to be made. This was fixed before beta-14 and is now closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 213 from Randall J. Wormser didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 224 from Michael Eisele and 293 from Gary Mills reported a problem with an extra %s in a printf that was in beta 12 but fixed in beta 13. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 230 from Jon Madison reports successful compilation of beta 12 on IRIX 6.2 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 245 from Kevin Hoffer didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 251 from Neuromancer reported that some form of shadow passwords don't work correctly with beta-13 under Linux. I could not reproduce this on RedHat 4.0. So, I have closed this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 258 from Michael E Quan appears to be another person who didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 259 from appears to be another person who didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 261 from Jon Madison reports successful complilation of beta 13 on IRIX 6.2 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 268 from Andrew R. Orndorff offered some patches for AIX, but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 273 from Usuario-Moisis wants to know how to use BISON in place of YACC on AIX. I don't know. I have to close this ticket. Maybe someone else can help him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 278 from Ignacio de Cordoba is having problems getting "ls" and "dir" to work, which is a common problem that usually involves properly setting up the environment. It is not a wu-ftpd problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 280 from Hannu Laurila illustrates a common misconception about the use of a dash as the first character in a password. This is a feature to turn off extended messages. If the user has a dash as the first character of his/her password, then that dash must be preceeded with another dash as an "escape" character to insure that the password is correctly understood. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 291 from Sergio Javier Klarreich appeared to just be a pleasant greeting. It does not appear to report a bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 296 from Jim Easton bet a month's salary that there was an alias on my development platforms for cc. He was wrong, but I asked him to give the money to charity. I don't know if he did. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 316 from Paul Wouters claimed that he could not overwrite files or delete existing files when logged in as a real user. I can't reproduce this. Perhaps it is a configuration issue. Anyway, I can reproduce it, so I am closing the ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 318 from John R. Long illustrates a common misconception about the use of a dash as the first character in a password. This is a feature to turn off extended messages. If the user has a dash as the first character of his/her password, then that dash must be preceeded with another dash as an "escape" character to insure that the password is correctly understood. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 321 from Are Bryne asked a variety of questions about the upload directive in ftpaccess. I have answered him in private mail. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 324 from Johannes Ruscheinski offered some patches for Linux, but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 331 from Emil Isberg noted that he was having no problems with beta-13 on Solaris 2.5 or 2.5.1.This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. Also, beta-14 is the first release of the server to be tested by me on Solaris 2.5.1, so it will be the first one for which I can accept bug reports with any hopes of reproducing it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 336 from Mark Cain was trying to get beta-13 to work on a Solaris 2.4 sparc marchine with Sparc C, which is a configuration I run. I can't reproduce his problem (it appears that /etc/inted is passing the second option on the command line to ftpd, but not the first), so I have to close this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 346 from Eric Meyers needed some information on using beta-13 on HPUX. I offered what help I could and pointed him at the mailing list. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 348 from Peter deFriesse didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 351 from is trying to setup "guestgroup" and has apparently failed to do so. I have directed him to the FAQ and have heard nothing more from him. So, I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tickets 352 & 353 from Frank Winkler is trying to setup the server on Solaris, but apparently does not have all the devices and shared libaries in place to make it possible for "ls" to work. I suggested some things for him to investigate, but have heard nothing further. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 363 from Gary Mills is complaining about about the use of a dash as the first character in a password being used to turn off extended messages. Since this feature has been part of the server long before I took over maintenance, I am not going to change the behavior in this release. That's just the way it has to be. If the folks on the mailing list can come up with a better solution that we can implement in a future release, I am willing to consider it, but not for release 2.4.2 or 2.4.3. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 366 from Paul Whittenburg offers some documentation fixes for the ftpaccess page but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 367 from Jun-ichiro Itoh reported a problem with an extra %s in a printf that was in beta 12 but fixed in beta 13. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 369 from Mark Bergman said that he could not get beta 13 to compile on Solaris 2.5 becuase of a number of missing files. I believe he had a bad copy of the distribution since I could not reproduce this problem on Solaris 2.5.1 or 2.4. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 374 from Ryan Rawson claimed that virutal hosting didn't work on Linux 2.0.29 and 2.0.30. This may be true. I could not reproduce the problem on RedHat 4.0, so I can fix it. I think he is right about it being a kernel or library problem. This ticket is closed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 382 from Roger Burroughes noted that the Sun problem with file locking covered in NOTES file is still a problem. I agree, but it is really Sun's problem to fix. This ticket is closed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 383 from Chang_L appears to be another person who didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 401 from Philippe Guyot sent a ticket in that had no information in it. I have closed it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 402 from Greg Smith could not discover the details CERT Advisory CA-97.16 from the announcement itself, and so attempted to query me for them. I have responded to his request. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 405 from Earl Wallace suggests that there is some problem in the server that is actually caused by the ftp client. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 406 from Earl Wallace says that he didn' see this problem later. This ticket is also closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Mon Aug 11 05:23:54 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id FAA10045; Mon, 11 Aug 1997 05:17:03 -0500 (CDT) Received: from owlman.academ.com (sob@OWLMAN.ACADEM.COM [198.137.249.5]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id FAA09256 for ; Mon, 11 Aug 1997 05:04:22 -0500 (CDT) Received: (from sob@localhost) by owlman.academ.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) id FAA08894 for wu-ftpd@mail.wustl.edu; Mon, 11 Aug 1997 05:04:21 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199708111004.FAA08894@owlman.academ.com> Date: Mon, 11 Aug 1997 05:04:21 -0500 (CDT) Reply-To: sob@owlman.academ.com Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: sob@owlman.academ.com (Stan Barber) To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Subject: Status of Beta-14 X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN I am delighted to announce that this is the last delay announcement I am sending about BETA-14 before its long awaited release. It shall release on or before August 15. I have spent alot of time trying to go through all the relevant tickets. I have closed all those that I could not reproduce or looked to be pilot error on behalf of the submittor. I have addressed those that are bug fixes. There are around 65 bug fixes in this release to date. I have a few more tickets to check out that have to do with Solaris 2.5.1 (to which I now have access) and then I will be able to release the softare. I have cached those that are feature enhancement suggestions. Those will appear on a new web page that will be for release 2.5. I will need the user community to review these suggestions and prioritize the ones I don't have strong feelings about for me. This will set the stage for the first release of 2.5.

I am closing this ticket since I can't reproduce his problem without access to HP/UX. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 44 from Gildas Perrot reports a problem with beta-11 involving HP/UX 10.10. I don't have access to this, so I can't diagnose it. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 48 from Scott Mulligan was a request to talk to me about something. We never made contact.

I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 53 from Steve Doty claimed to have problems using the betas and the guestgroup function. His message was not clear on exactly what the problem was, but never answered my request for more information. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 63 from Gildas Perrot suggests that the fields from ftpwho should be documented on the man page. While this is a resonable suggestion, it can't be done for all architectures since the output of ftpwho is just an excerpt of the ps command. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 64 from Gildas Perrot reports a bug with the "site chmod" command in beta-11. I can't reproduce it in beta-13, so I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 68 from was not a bug report but a request for more assistance in understanding how virtual ftp support works on wu-ftpd.

This is not a bug report. However, I would welcome any reports concerning Digital Unix compliations. So, Becki, go ahead and compile away. Send me a report after you do it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 128 from Bernhard Rosenkraenzer reports that ftpaccess is not being seen on Linux. However, he does not provide any information concerning the /etc/inetd.conf line for starting ftpd. Since I can't reproduce this bug on Linux, this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 142 from Furio Ercolessi reported a problem under HPUX with user accounts that have passwords less than 8 characters in length. I don't have access to HPUX, so I can't check this, but I could not reproduce it on other operating systems I do have access to. So, I am closing this ticket. If someone can help this guy out, I would appreciate a copy of the message concerning the resolution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 144 from Andrew Ford reported a bug in beta-11 that I can't produce in beta 13. It concerned the use of the dirs and nodirs option in different upload commands in the ftpaccess file. He said that they interfered with each other. Since I can't produce it in beta 13, this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tickets 147 and 154 from Alan Halachmi reported that in beta-11 there was a problem with guestgroups, chroot and virtual ftp servers. He claimed that chroot didn't work when connecting via virtual ftp. I can't reproduce this with beta-13, so I am closing these tickets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 148 from Ian Willis suggested a modification for Beta 12 that was already added, but I apparently didn't notice his ticket until this go round. Since this issue has been addressed, the ticket is closed. [The change was specific for SCO 5 and concerned defining SIGURG as SIGUSR1.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 149 from Jon Lewis reported a problem with beta-11 and virtual FTP configured that caused it to abort. I could not reproduce this with beta-13. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 150 from sroberts@smtpgwy.isinet.com offers to compile wu-ftpd on some AIX machines. This is not a bug report. However, I would welcome any reports concerning AIX compliations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 151 from marekm@i17linuxb.ists.pwr.wroc.pl (Marek Michalkiewicz) reported a bug in Virtual Root processing that has been fixed prior to beta 14 release. The bug in attempting to reuse space allocated to pw->pw-dir instead of freeing and resizing it to a size that can hold the virtual root directory. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 153 from Perry Rovers suggested that it was a bad idea to install the example files. He said that the FreeBSD install did this, but under beta-13, it did not, so I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 158 from Peter Bivesand and ticket 223 from Raewyn Brundell reported a problem with beta-12 on OSF/1. This problem is known to be fixed in beta-13. These tickets have been closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 172 from Thomas Cornwell reported problems building a version of wu-ftpd on HPUX 10.2. As I don't have access to HP-UX, I can't debug this problem, so I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 174 from Jay Schudter noted that beta 12 compiled fine on AIX 4.1.5. This is not really a bug report, but I do appreciate hearing from folks who are able to get it to work on systems I have no access to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 176 from Danielle Hopkins report that compiling beta 12 on Digital Unix 3.2 with enhanced security is not working. I believe this issue was resolved in beta 13. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 177 from Paul Reece and 195 from Gregory Youngblood claims that beta-12 would not correctly do guest users, logging them instead as standard users. I can't produce this on beta-13 so, I am closing these tickets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 198 from Ian Willis suggested a modification for Beta 12 concering the form of the ps command used in ftpwho and ftpcount. Since I reversed the change in beta-13, the problem that this addresses no longer exists. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 199 from Roman Gnatenko reported that "cd ~" did not work in version 2.4. It does work fine in beta-13, so this ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 200 from Alvaro Fdez Lago reports success building beta-12 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 202 from Andrew Maltsev reported the duplicate printf selector when a bad shell reply was going to be made. This was fixed before beta-14 and is now closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 213 from Randall J. Wormser didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 214 from Michael Marxmeier noted a number of problems with beta 12 with HP-UX 9.04. Those problems that are note specific to HP-UX were fixed in beta-13. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 224 from Michael Eisele and 293 from Gary Mills reported a problem with an extra %s in a printf that was in beta 12 but fixed in beta 13. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 226 from Alan Wyskowski reports a problem using beta-12 on a HPUX machines. I don't have one of those, so I can't help him debug it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 230 from Jon Madison reports successful compilation of beta 12 on IRIX 6.2 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 234 from Emil Isberg reported that he was able to compile beta-13 on Solaris 2.5/Sparc with the SunC compiler with no problems. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 236 from Steve Beikman reporting having problem getting wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-13 compiling under Digital Unix 4.X with C2. I told that I didn't have this stuff and therefore could not really help him debug his problem. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 242 from Terry Cox is trying compile wu-ftpd 2.4 on Linux. I have suggested that he try 2.4.2-beta-13 instead. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 245 from Kevin Hoffer didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 251 from Neuromancer reported that some form of shadow passwords don't work correctly with beta-13 under Linux. I could not reproduce this on RedHat 4.0. So, I have closed this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 253 from Steven G Smith offered some insights into geting beta-12 to compile on IRIX 5.3 using an SGI compiler. I requested that he try on beta-13 and get back to me. As far as I can tell, he hasn't. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 258 from Michael E Quan appears to be another person who didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 259 from appears to be another person who didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 260 from Scot Needy was reporting that alot of ftpd's are lingering around on his OSF/1 version 3.2 system. Since I don't have one of those, I can diagnose his problem. So, I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 261 from Jon Madison reports successful complilation of beta 13 on IRIX 6.2 without changes. This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 262 from Myrna Watt was reporting a problem with HP-UX on beta-12. I asked her to try beta-13, but have not heard from her concerning it since I made the request. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 268 from Andrew R. Orndorff offered some patches for AIX, but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 272 from Jon Snyder appears to be another person who didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 273 from Usuario-Moisis wants to know how to use BISON in place of YACC on AIX. I don't know. I have to close this ticket. Maybe someone else can help him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 274 from David R. Heffelfinger reported that he could not get non-anonymous ftp to work under his release of Linux. I asked for more information about his configuration and have never received a reply. I am closing the ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 275 from Blank James reported that guestgroups was not working properly. He said that timestamps were in GMT. I asked for more information (like what operating system he was using), but never got a response. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 278 from Ignacio de Cordoba is having problems getting "ls" and "dir" to work, which is a common problem that usually involves properly setting up the environment. It is not a wu-ftpd problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 280 from Hannu Laurila illustrates a common misconception about the use of a dash as the first character in a password. This is a feature to turn off extended messages. If the user has a dash as the first character of his/her password, then that dash must be preceeded with another dash as an "escape" character to insure that the password is correctly understood. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 287 from Sandrokan reported that he was having problems getting the guestgroup feature to work on Slakware 96. I asked if he had the "-a" turned on on his /etc/inetd.conf line. He has never responded. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 291 from Sergio Javier Klarreich appeared to just be a pleasant greeting. It does not appear to report a bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 296 from Jim Easton bet a month's salary that there was an alias on my development platforms for cc. He was wrong, but I asked him to give the money to charity. I don't know if he did. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 306 from Philippe Langlois suggested that be included in ftpd.c for use by OSF/1. This is already done in the config.h for osf/1. It should not need to be included twice. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 316 from Paul Wouters claimed that he could not overwrite files or delete existing files when logged in as a real user. I can't reproduce this. Perhaps it is a configuration issue. Anyway, I can reproduce it, so I am closing the ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 318 from John R. Long illustrates a common misconception about the use of a dash as the first character in a password. This is a feature to turn off extended messages. If the user has a dash as the first character of his/her password, then that dash must be preceeded with another dash as an "escape" character to insure that the password is correctly understood. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 321 from Are Bryne asked a variety of questions about the upload directive in ftpaccess. I have answered him in private mail. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 324 from Johannes Ruscheinski offered some patches for Linux, but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 331 from Emil Isberg noted that he was having no problems with beta-13 on Solaris 2.5 or 2.5.1.This is not a bug report, but I do appreciate getting these types of messages. Also, beta-14 is the first release of the server to be tested by me on Solaris 2.5.1, so it will be the first one for which I can accept bug reports with any hopes of reproducing it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 336 from Mark Cain was trying to get beta-13 to work on a Solaris 2.4 sparc marchine with Sparc C, which is a configuration I run. I can't reproduce his problem (it appears that /etc/inted is passing the second option on the command line to ftpd, but not the first), so I have to close this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 337 from Scott Stubbs is unable to get the software to work with Solaris 2.5.1. He is having a problem similar to Ticket 339. I can't reproduce it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 339 from Chris Kern is unable to get the software to follow his directives in the ftpaccess file. He claims to have the "-a" on the end of the /etc/inetd.conf line and has had to resort to altering the source code claiming that their must be something wrong with the wu-ftpd software. He insists that it's not a problem with his Solaris 2.5.1 platform. I have confirmed that I can't reproduce this problem on Solaris 2.5.1, so I am closing this ticket. I have no idea why he can't get it to work, but I can't fix things I can't reproduce. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 346 from Eric Meyers needed some information on using beta-13 on HPUX. I offered what help I could and pointed him at the mailing list. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 348 from Peter deFriesse didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 351 from is trying to setup "guestgroup" and has apparently failed to do so. I have directed him to the FAQ and have heard nothing more from him. So, I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tickets 352 & 353 from Frank Winkler is trying to setup the server on Solaris, but apparently does not have all the devices and shared libaries in place to make it possible for "ls" to work. I suggested some things for him to investigate, but have heard nothing further. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 363 from Gary Mills is complaining about about the use of a dash as the first character in a password being used to turn off extended messages. Since this feature has been part of the server long before I took over maintenance, I am not going to change the behavior in this release. That's just the way it has to be. If the folks on the mailing list can come up with a better solution that we can implement in a future release, I am willing to consider it, but not for release 2.4.2 or 2.4.3. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 366 from Paul Whittenburg offers some documentation fixes for the ftpaccess page but never sent them. I have closed this ticket. However, I do hope he will send the patches along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 367 from Jun-ichiro Itoh reported a problem with an extra %s in a printf that was in beta 12 but fixed in beta 13. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 369 from Mark Bergman said that he could not get beta 13 to compile on Solaris 2.5 becuase of a number of missing files. I believe he had a bad copy of the distribution since I could not reproduce this problem on Solaris 2.5.1 or 2.4. I am closing this ticket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 374 from Ryan Rawson claimed that virutal hosting didn't work on Linux 2.0.29 and 2.0.30. This may be true. I could not reproduce the problem on RedHat 4.0, so I can fix it. I think he is right about it being a kernel or library problem. This ticket is closed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 382 from Roger Burroughes noted that the Sun problem with file locking covered in NOTES file is still a problem. I agree, but it is really Sun's problem to fix. This ticket is closed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 383 from Chang_L appears to be another person who didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 390 from David Macdonald is reporting that under Solaris he was not getting the local time when he did a dir after an anonymous login. He had symlinked to the /etc/default/init and /etc/TIMEZONE files from his chrooted directories. That won't work. They must be copied to the chrooted directory locations. I have let him know about this. I am closing this ticket. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 401 from Philippe Guyot sent a ticket in that had no information in it. I have closed it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 402 from Greg Smith could not discover the details CERT Advisory CA-97.16 from the announcement itself, and so attempted to query me for them. I have responded to his request. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 405 from Earl Wallace suggests that there is some problem in the server that is actually caused by the ftp client. This ticket is closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 406 from Earl Wallace says that he didn' see this problem later. This ticket is also closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 412 from Nick Matyushenko appears to be another person who didn't read the NOTES file concerning the use of "-a" in /etc/inetd.conf in order to get ftpd to use the ftpaccess file and the various enhancements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Mon Aug 11 12:56:13 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA11299; Mon, 11 Aug 1997 12:48:39 -0500 (CDT) Received: from kcgw1.att.com (kcgw1.att.com [192.128.133.151]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA10817 for ; Mon, 11 Aug 1997 12:43:34 -0500 (CDT) Received: from lynxhub.lz.att.com by kcig1.att.att.com (SMI-8.6/EMS-1.2 sol2) id MAA13797; Mon, 11 Aug 1997 12:34:17 -0500 Received: by lynxhub.lz.att.com (5.x/EMS-1.2 sol2) id AA11121; Mon, 11 Aug 1997 13:41:09 -0400 Message-Id: <9708111741.AA11121@lynxhub.lz.att.com> Date: Mon, 11 Aug 1997 13:41:08 -0400 (EDT) Reply-To: dougc@lynxhub.lz.att.com Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: dougc@lynxhub.lz.att.com To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu (ftp archive) Subject: access to environment vars Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN Folks, Was there a change between 2.4 and Beta 13 that allowed the wuftp process access to local shell environment variables.

One could argue the client should accept a >leading ../ when the user specified a leading ../, but that's probably >getting a little too frilly. (Of course, this should all be >configurable off, but it also should default on.) The problem is a bit worse than just including files in the NLST with a leading '..' or '/'. If the server sends a list which includes a filename that starts with the pipe symbol, the UNIX client will happily start the specified program and execute it, feeding the "data" to the program as stdin. How about a file, imbedded in a large directory with a lot of small files, called "|sh"? And there are one or two other special characters to FTP, so it looks like even more filename checking is necessary.

I have something like this as my /etc/ftp.banner and the count is off by 1. Welcome to the Frederick Biomedical Supercomputing Center FTP archive, running on %L. Information about your login and any transfers you do are logged on this host. If you do not like that, please disconnect now. Please contact %E with any technical problems you may have accessing this archive. You are currently user %N our of a maximum of %M users. The current time in Frederick Maryland, USA is %T If the SAME message is my ~ftp/welcome.msg then the count is correct. So, I guess that message is really only supposed to go as the WELCOME after login and I should have the unathorized use message BEFORE the login prompt. 'ie /etc/ftp.banner file' Is there a way I can get the number of connections displayed in the ftp.banner correctly ?

[bugtraq forward deleted] Well, as the subject says, it's a client issue, not a server one. You'd need a much-hacked server to do some of the things suggested, like including a ../file in an arbitrary NLST, though the ability to create a file with a name like |sh renders that moot. There's not much you could do from the server side, except perhaps not list filenames beginning with characters like | which are special to FTP clients, and that might not be a good thing anyway. (For the record, ncftp, at least version 1.9.4, also handles files like |sh with pipes. It was probably originally intended as a feature, but it's too easily exploitable in my opinion.) --Andy Church | If Bell Atlantic really is the heart achurch@dragonfire.net | of communication, then it desperately www.dragonfire.net/~achurch/ | needs a quadruple bypass.

I just set up beta-13 here, and I want to set up a bunch of client accounts as guestgroup'ed ftp directories. I set them up - so far, so good. Now, I want the users to be able to upload to everything in the ~ftp/docs and ~ftp/cgi-bin directories with the incoming files getting chowned/chgrped - but not be able to upload to ~ftp/bin, ~ftp/etc, ~ftp/lib, etc. So from the template ftpaccess file I set up the following for user acce: guestgroup acce upload /disk2/www/acce * no upload /disk2/www/acce /docs yes acce acce dirs upload /disk2/www/acce /cgi-bin yes acce acce dirs Well, this allows the user to upload to docs and cgi-bin all right - but not to any subdirectories. I tried adding upload /disk2/www/acce /docs/* yes acce acce dirs and that gets them down 1 level, but not to subdirectories of those, etc. I guess I was interpreting this format to mean that subdirectories inherited the paret's permissions - but this is apparently not the case. How can I do this without 20 lines in the ftpaccess file for each guestgrouped user? Thanks, Ernest -- Ernest C.

It has been tested on the following systems: Solaris 2.4 Sparc and x86, Solaris 2.5.1 x86, SunOS 4.1.4, Unixware 2.1, FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE, BSD/OS 1.1, BSD/OS 2.1, BSD/OS 3.0, SCO Open Server 5, Linux 1.3.39 and 2.0.X. I would like to hear from folks with access to HP-UX, Digital Unix, IRIX and AIX in particular. Please send mail to the wu-ftpd-bugs@academ.com address. If hardware companies wish to donate equipment running their proprietary UNIX derivatives to me for doing maintenance work on this and the other packages I maintain (NNTP, RN, etc), please contact me directly to discuss. If software companies that sell UNIX derivatives I don't to which I don't have access wish to donain copies of their UNIX derivative to me for the purposes of doing maintenace work on this and the other packages I maintain, please contact me directly to discuss. Finally, my thanks to Ian Willis with SCO for his assistance in reviewing pre-releases of this software. This is another release candidate. The location is: ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-14.tar.Z NOTE: This directory is protected. Attempts to use a directory listing command will fail. You can also check http://www.academ.com/academ/wu-ftpd for more information. -0-FIXES IN THIS RELEASE-0- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I edited the INSTALL, README and NOTES documents in an attempt to make them clearer. I had a number of questions about "-a" and /etc/inetd.conf. People evidently don't read the README file very closely, so now I have put this information in more places than just the NOTES file. Hopefully that will stop most of these types of questions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Galbraith noted a Y2K compliance problem in ftpcmd.y where the year would always be printed as 19XX. This is now fixed. Unfortunately, it appears that noone opened a ticket on this one that I can find. This came from the mailing list. I believe that wu-ftpd is as Y2K compliant as it can be with this fix. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 125 from Marc Slemko points up a problem with the dependencies on vers.c that are not uniform in all makefiles and can cause problems with certain versions of make. This is now resolved. All makefiles for all operating systems supported in this distribution now have an explict dependency that should cause newvers.sh to be run if yacc was successful in building ftpcmd.c from ftpcmd.y. It will also properly stop attempting to compile anyting (other than ckconfig) until this problem is fixed by the user. This can usually be done by being sure yacc is installed and in the user's PATH. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 164 from Ian Willis points up a bug in the SITE CHMOD command that would cause the server to send two replies in some cases. This could confuse some FTP clients (and is a violation of protocol anyway). This should have been in beta-13, but I missed it somehow. It is in beta-14. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 170 from Volker Schmidt offered some changes to the Linux configuration and Makefiles. I have integrated these changes. They have been tested on Slackware Linux 2.3, RedHat 3.0.3 and RedHat 4.0. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tickets 173 from Albert Lunde and 175 from David Capshaw suggested that a define (HAVE_GETRLIMIT) be added to the config.hpx for HP-UX 10.10. This has been done, but I have no idea if it will help. I don't have HP-UX to test this on. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tickets 188 and 299 from Andrey A. Chernov notes that FreeBSD uses for file system information used by the %F macro. This is included in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 210 from Wilhelm Mueller suggested that getdatasock should return the errno to the caller that caused the socket call to fail (as opposed to anything else that happens in that routine). I agree. He also suggested that RMD and DELE should both check permissions before attempting to do anything. I also agree. These changes are in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tickets 221 from Luc Lalonde , 332 from Andrew Siegele and 333 from Tim Wicinski reminded me of problems some releases of IRIX had with the installation script I supply here in the distributions. I think I have addressed these problems now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 225 from Sergey Zhuk offered some fixes to the xferstats script that would make it work when the log involves timestamps from two years. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 237 from Ian Willis suggested another fix for access.c and ftpcount.c that addresses a problem in a bug fix in beta-13 that kept access limits involving days other than Any from being enforced. This fix is included in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 238 from Ian Willis suggested another fix for popen.c to keep it from overflowing the argv buffer and from freeing space that was not allocated for that same argv buffer. This fix has been included in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 239 from Ian Willis offered a fix for ftpcmd.y where there is a one-off error in checking the length of a string. This is fixed in this release. Ian also suggested a use of snprintf which was also suggested in ticket 249. This change was included with the rest of the fixes in 249. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 241 from Ian Willis pointed out that the \r\n is no longer passed to setproctitle since beta-13, so it does not need to attempt to strip. This change has been encorporated into this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tickets 244, 246, 327, 329, 340, 354, 358, 359, 404 and 407 noted that I had made a mistake in the Makefile for the suppport libraries for AIX. I had put snprintf.c in the OBJS line where it should have been snprintf.o. There was a similiar problem in the Makefile for the server itself where I put sigfix.c in the OBJS line instead of sigfix.o. This last one whas benign since most compilier can cope with source file in the compile step if the result is an executable. These problems were reported by these users: ae@is.dal.ca, gilles_ciselet@be.ibm.com, wfp5p@tigger.itc.virginia.edu,nrjw@chevron.com, bozy@fiona.com.cy,dsf@frontiernet.net,fxa@boombox.micro.umn.edu,pguyot@cvf.fr, tkevans@eplrx7.es.dupont.com,chris@westnet.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 247 from Ian Willis pointed out an error in how the instructions in ftpaccess are processed with respect to the compress and tar keywords. Once any class is permitted to use them, then all classes are. He provides a fix for this that is included in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tickets 248 from Alain Magloire , 295 from Alan J Rosenthal , 341 from Roger K. Winters , 347 from Eric Myers , 370 from P. Kearney III , 375 from Marty Schultz , 380 from Randall S. Winchester , 381 from Dale Ghent , 396 from Bob Beck , 398 from Shoichi Shibata , 409 from Paul Southworth , and 411 from Chun-Hsiung Chiu note various problems with compling wu-ftpd 2.4.2 beta 13 on SunOS 4.1.X machines. One problem is with snprintf.c in the support library. On some versions of SunOS 4.X, the size_t typedef is not pulled in with the include directives that are there. I have modified snprintf.c to include when an ANSI C compilier is used and when one is not used. Hopefully, that will catch a size_t definition. If not, let me know, but do be sure to include what OS release and what compiler you are using. Additionally, I had left "const" definitions in places where non-ANSI C compilers would encounter them. I have removed those. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tickets 249 from Alain Magloire suggested that snprintf should be used now that there is good one for those systems that don't have it in the support library and for those that do have snprintf, it should be used where controlling the length of things is important. To that end a number of changes have been made in ftpd.c to use snprintf more widely. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 250 from Aidas Kasparas provided some code to deal with expired logins (when shadow passwords are used). This code is included in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 253 from Ian Willis pointed out that ftpconversions and ftpgroup parsing was in a sad state. He offers a number of patches to fix the problems (some of which could cause bad things to happen if the these files were formatted badly). These fixes are included in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 257 from George Staikos suggested that the default umask be 022 instead of 002. I agree. This change has been made for this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 267 from Frank Mogaddedi suggested that SPT_TYPE should be SPT_NONE for SGI IRIX to insure that the time stamps on things didn't get set to GMT. This change has been made, but is untested since I have no SGIs to test on. This will hopefully address the problem as it was reported as a bug in ticket 209 by Phil Ritzenthaler , ticket 218 from Chris Brown , ticket 271 by Wayne Rosen and ticket 356 from Tom Brister . ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 276 from Ian Willis point out a logic problem when the socket call fails when trying to open a data socket. The close() was being made anyway and this would generate a "bad file number" error since the socket never was opened. This is fixed in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 277 from Valter Cavecchia suggested that HAVE_STATVFS should be defined in the SGI IRIX configuration file. It is now. I have no way to know if this is correct. Hopefully others will let me know. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 285 from Miguel Mena suggested that a note be placed in the NOTES file about Digital Unix and C2 security. This has been done. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 289 from Ueber Sheep points up a problem when %U is used in a banner prior to the user performing a login. Before beta 14, this could cause a segmentation violation. Now, it will cause %U to print "[unknown]" since login has not been done as yet. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 294 from Alan Wyskowski suggested that the arguments for select() under HPUX may not have the same types as those found on other systems. I have encorporated his change, though I have no way to test it since I don't have an HPUX systems. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 297 from Andrey A. Chernov suggested a small change to newvers.sh to make it more POSIX compliant without affecting its operations on non-POSIX systems. It is included in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 298 from Andrey A. Chernov notes that the configuration for FreeBSD support dirent.h and that sys/dir.h is being phased out. A change to the FreeBSD configuration header file has been made to use dirent.h in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 302 from Ian Willis and ticket 307 from Pierre Belanger both noted problems when processing the %E macro. It becomes evident with the %E macro is used twice in an extended message. The entry information is not reset between calls. This can cause information to be printed twice. This is fixed in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 304 from Gustavo Zacarias suggested some changes for C2 security with Digital Unix 4.X. These changes are made to the Digital Unix configuration. C2 is on by default. "./build dec" to get this. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tickets 308 and 311 from from Philippe Langlois suggested that /usr/ucb/installbsd be used for installation on OSF/1. This has been done for this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 309 from P Kern suggested that the passive subroutine might be vunerable to attack because a user could attempt to start a passive connection without doing a login first. This is now checked in the passive connection. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 312 from Philippe Langlois suggested that a note be added to NOTES file about the conflict between using Virtual FTP and TCPWrappers. It has been included. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 315 from George H Richmond reports a bug in some of the debugging code where syslog is called without a printf format string. This causes the daemon to crash on some operating environments. This is fixed in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tickets 319 from Are Bryne suggested some cleanups in the ftpaccess file in the doc/examples directory. This has been done for this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tickets 320 from Are Bryne , 388 from SethMeister G. and 394 from Perry Rovers pointed out an error in the ftpaccess.5 man page concerning the path-filter example. This is fixed in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 323 from David Capshaw points out a problem in realpath that is exposed when it is called with a rooted path. It could attempt to access an uninitialized location. His fix has been encorporated into this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 325 from Alain Magloire suggested that the argv array be zeroed out before loading it. He also suggested a fix to insure that we didn't spill off the end of the argv array when filling it. This fix is included in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 343 from Ian Willis contains a number of fixes for various memory leaks in the glob routines as well as some logic problem in the processing of the ABOR verb. These fixes are included in this release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 344 from Farhad Anklesaria suggested a number of changes to the makefiles for A/UX. They are included in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tickets 349 from John F. Woods notes that there are a number of places in the software that are attempting to print out off_t values using printf selectors that can't handle the size. He suggests that these values be cast to fix. I have included his patch, but I intend to revamp this totally after this software goes to release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tickets 350 from Gunnar Helliesen and 379 from Randall S. Winchester notes that there is a benign syntax problem in access.c. This might cause some compilers to generate a warning. This has been fixed in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 360 from Bas Meijer suggested a way to setup the "chroot" directory for wu-ftpd on IRIX. This has been included in the NOTES. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 361 from Timothy J. Luoma suggested that HAVE_REGEX_H be removed from the NeXTStep 3.X configuration. This has been done. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 362 from Philip Kearney III noted that the "deny" keyword when followed with a domainname glob did not work. An IP address or address glob does work on SunOS 4.1.X machines. This turns out to be an issue only if you are not running yp or if yp is not able to access DNS. To address this, I have added -lresolv to the SunOS 4.1 makefile. This can be removed if you are running yp with DNS enabled. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 365 from Ian Willis offered some fixes to make some of the 5XX responses associated with failed logins comply with RFC 959 and correct some logic that would cause the server to send two responses to a client when passwd-check is used and the user failed to enter a "valid" password when logging in anonymously. These fixes are included in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 368 from Ian Willis suggested that a change made during the release of beta 12 changed how the upload option did filename matching to make it non-intuitive. This change has been reversed. He also offered a change to how the upload directive is parsed so that "no dirs" does allow directories to be created and "no some-other-string" does not. Previously it didn't work this way. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 378 Michael Brennen suggested that it's easy for folks to get confused setting up the anonymous login and use the /./ suffix on the home directory like that used for guestgroup. When done, it will make other functions (like upload) in the ftpaccess fail to work. He has suggested that processing of the two be done alike. He also supplied a nice patch. It is included in this release. This could be argued as a bug fix or an enhancement. Oh well. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 386 from Wyman Eric Miles reported a problem attempting to compile beta-13 with the Bellcore skey library. That's because it doesn't compile with that version. The version needed is the one from the logdaemon suite by Wietse Venema. I am updating the documentation to make this clear. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 387 from Alexander suggested that using the /var/tmp directory for storing the pids is a bad idea. I agree. All configurations have been changed not to do this. This was really only an issue on System V systems and older BSD systems. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 393 from Eli-Jean Leyssens pointed out another possible problem with ABOR verb processing with OOB data. This fix is included in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 399 from Vadim M. Sapiro pointed out a problem with Solari 2.5.1 libraries when used in chrooted mode along with a dynamically linked "ls". Sun has assigned a bugid for this problem. See the NOTES file for more on this. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 400 from Luc Beurton reports that NetBSD/sparc uses an int64_t for that stbuf.st_size. This means that %qu should be used for a sprintf selector instead of %lu. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 403 from Rob Nichols suggested some changes to facilitate compilation on AIX. These changes are included in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 415 from Andy Church suggested that the dependency on libc in the makefile for Linux be removed. I have done so. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 417 from Ian Willis noted that getspnam on Unixware 2.1 is not NIS aware, so the password read from the password file should not be overwritten should the call fail. This fix is included here. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 420 from Mike Handley has reported a problem in beta 13 under Unixware 2.1. Ian Willis has provided the fix in Ticket 423 which is included in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 421 from Ernest Mueller supplied a number of suggestions for making wu-ftpd install smootly on IRIX 6.3. I have included these suggestions in this release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 423 from Ian Willis noted that when wu-ftpd is used on Unixware, readdir in glob.c would not work as expected since the version picked up during the link is the one from the ucb library, not the regular C library. He suggested changing the UnixWare Makefile to link the regular C libarary before the ucb library. This has been done for this release.

The hidden directory 'incoming' works fine, anonymous can create a directory, put files and cann't ls files. But when they cd to created directory, they can 'ls' all the files. This is not complete hidden setting. How can I creat a total hidden directory? It means whatever anonymous user create a directory, they still cann't ls the content. BTW, the upload entry on ftpaccess is: upload /home/ftp /incoming/* yes ftp ftp 0600 dirs Thanks for help.

I have found that when putting items onto the server, I can use umask to modify any rw permissions, but that x permissions are always removed from the files, even if umask is 000.

If so, is there a way to avoid it? I used to see this frequently...especially hung wu.ftpd sessions that got stuck during a file transfer. I hacked the source adding a -z commandline option (z for zap :). The arg it takes is an integer number of seconds used in alarm() calls strategicaly placed around all read and write calls I thought might potentially block forever. I've been running with -z240 for a few weeks and have found no more hanging ftpd's and gotten no complaints of breakage. I should probably clean up the patch, apply it to beta14, and submit it back to the list. I really don't know how much all the alarm(var)/alarm(0) calls affect performance, or if they do at all. Maybe someone else can theorize on that. It doesn't appear to affect throughput at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis | Unsolicited commercial e-mail will Network Administrator | be proof-read for $199/message.

Oh boy... this is the standard response all over again. The list archives is full with this answer... :'( Two or three weeks ago I've posted a similar question about 2.4.13. I've followed the FAQ, Sun anonymous FTP man page with the setup script, played with ~ftp/devices, and several other crazy (?) things that came on my mind. The problem is not only with "dir" or "ls". The problem is also with "get" and "put" (everything that tries to open "/dev/tcp", that is the bind() function fails).

However, it appears as if the ftpaccess "permissions" can only be made to apply globally to all guest accounts, i.e.: # all the following default to "yes" for everybody delete no guest,anonymous # delete permission? overwrite no guest,anonymous # overwrite permission? rename no guest,anonymous # rename permission? chmod no guest,anonymous # chmod permission? umask no guest,anonymous # umask permission?

Here's the quote: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *3.9) How can I set up anonymous FTP? If you need help, ftp the file "ftp.anon" from ftp://ftp.math.fsu.edu/pub/solaris/ftp.anon. ftpd(1M) is nearly complete when it comes to setting up anonymous ftp. It only leaves out /etc/nsswitch.conf. [S2.3] Additionally, you must make sure that the filesystem ~ftp resides on is not mounted with the nosuid option. This is because the nosuid option also disables the kernel honoring device files which are required in the chroot environment for ~ftp. For security reasons, it is important that no files under ~ftp are owned by ftp. If they are, anonymous users can modify them. In Solaris 2.5 and later, you will need to copy /usr/lib/libmp.so.1 as well as provide a /dev/ticlts (for wu-ftpd). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ftp.anon is the script that Winfried mentioned on his message; My problem was with the filesystem being mounted "nosuid" which looked like a *good* option to a filesystem with a anonymous ftp dir on... bah!; About /dev/ticlts I don't think it is needed. It is working without it and the man page for tictls mentions that "ticlts is a datagram-mode transport provider" so I guess it isn't really necessary. I think this bit about the nosuid should go to the wu-ftpd FAQ :). O.K.... I'm running wu-ftpd 2.4.14 on Solaris 2.5.1 on a SPARC. It works.

Oh boy... this is the standard response all over again. The list archives is full with this answer... :'( Two or three weeks ago I've posted a similar question about 2.4.13. I've followed the FAQ, Sun anonymous FTP man page with the setup script, played with ~ftp/devices, and several other crazy (?) things that came on my mind. The problem is not only with "dir" or "ls". The problem is also with "get" and "put" (everything that tries to open "/dev/tcp", that is the bind() function fails). Probably I'm missing some basic thing, but anyway: Is there any success story with anonymous FTP (chroot and /dev/* on the chroot'd tree) on Solaris 2.x on ***SPARC*** ? best regards, > -mike > > On Mon, 18 Aug 1997, Kevin Billings wrote: > >> I have wu-ftp2.4 beta 14 setup on solaris 2.4 for our users so when they >> login they are chroot to /export/home, but i get the following message: >> >> >> 200 PORT command successful. >> LIST >> 425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number. -- Carlos Canau ----------- End of original message ----------- ls -la of ~/dev d--x--x--x 2 root other 512 Aug 15 14:53 . dr-xr-xr-x 12 root other 512 Aug 15 17:32 .. cr--r--r-- 1 root other 11, 42 Aug 15 14:52 tcp cr--r--r-- 1 root other 105, 1 Aug 15 14:53 ticotsord cr--r--r-- 1 root other 11, 41 Aug 15 14:53 udp cr--r--r-- 1 root other 13, 12 Aug 15 14:53 zero ls -la of ~/usr/lib d--x--x--x 2 root other 512 Aug 15 14:57 . d--x--x--x 4 root other 512 Aug 15 14:54 .. -r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 24576 Aug 15 14:56 ld.so -r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 137160 Aug 15 14:56 ld.so.1 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 664100 Aug 15 14:56 libc.so.1 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 2564 Aug 15 14:56 libdl.so.1 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 15720 Aug 15 14:56 libintl.so.1 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 570560 Aug 15 14:56 libnsl.so.1 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 68780 Aug 15 14:56 libsocket.so.1 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 39932 Aug 15 14:57 libw.so.1 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 9332 Aug 15 14:57 nss_dns.so.1 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 21144 Aug 15 14:57 nss_files.so.1 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 24404 Aug 15 14:57 nss_nis.so.1 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 28844 Aug 15 14:57 nss_nisplus.so.1 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root other 9312 Aug 15 14:57 straddr.so.2 If you aren't adament about using betaXX, check out the Sun freeware site http://smc.vnet.net/Solaris 2.5.html for lots of pkgadd installable applications for Solaris, including wu-ftpd2.4 sunsoft.sun.com does have a link to above on their site, however they make several disclaimers that the freeware site is not officially affiliated with or supported by Sun Software Inc, so you're on your own.

If so, is there a way to avoid it? Yes, it happens when the user is uploading, and suddenly dissapears (eg modem connection drops etc). The data connection is blocked on read, and the control connection has nothing being written to it, so ftpd is unaware that anything is wrong. There's no timeout on the data connection unfortunately. The way I solved this in a hurry was to periodically run a perl script to kill the ftpds that have been around too long. I posted that (very short) script to the list once, but I'll mail it to you if you want it... -Ben ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ben Mehlman The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the Prodigy Services Corp unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the ben@staff.prodigy.com world to himself.

BUt if this is going to be added to the distribution, I might take this moment to express my preference for select() before read() from the data connection. This eliminates more signal nightmares and puts the fix where it should have been in the first place- right in the code that's causing the problem. If I were to write ftpd from scratch today, well, I'd use threads ;) But barring that, I'd use select() to watch over the two connections at once, and eliminate the need for alarm() or OOB data, and the associated signal handlers. -Ben ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ben Mehlman The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the Prodigy Services Corp unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the ben@staff.prodigy.com world to himself.

The problem with this is that it is undetermined what the subdirectories will be - I have a server with many Web servers, and clients are allowed to come in and alter their content. We're doing this with virtual FTP servers. Every time a user adds a directory, they would have to come to me and get another entry put into this file - and even just starting out, we have hundreds of subdirectories in our dozen plus sites. It makes sites bigger than about 5 directories unmanageable. Ernest -- Ernest C.

Of course, I have removed them but I want a way to automatically detect this kind of anonymous abuses (creation of hidden directories or filenames like _ ...) and/or make an operation on them. I already check the FAQ Anonymous FTP Abuses and also Anonymous FTP Configuration Guidelines. It seems that there is no real solution if I want to keep an incoming space and I want such a thing. Several times, there are mention of 'Develop in-house tools to...'. So, my question is simply: is there somewhere something doing things like: -parse the log to make the list of today STOR operations -check for hidden files/directories -check for strange names If not, I think I will develop something in-house. Thanks for your help and attention.

The real solution I use is that anonymous users can place files in the incoming directory but as the file is transferred, the ownership of the file changes. Any subsequent anonymous user will be unable to retrieve that file until somebody on the staff here changes the ownership to make it public. I think this is by far the best method for preventing abuse of the system. Yes, this does require the intervention of a staff person on the rare occaision that somebody wants to put something on our ftp site. But any tool that "checks for strange names" will be easily fooled by somebody renaming their file(s) before they transfer them. -brad (Speaking for myself again) From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Tue Aug 19 09:28:49 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id JAA30025; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 09:22:20 -0500 (CDT) Received: from landfield.com (ns.landfield.com [208.196.145.2]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA20247 for ; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 09:18:41 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199708191419.JAA21633@landfield.com> Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 09:19:04 -0500 (CDT) Reply-To: kent@landfield.com Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: Kent Landfield To: jma@acri.fr Cc: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Subject: Re: Anonymous FTP Abuses In-Reply-To: <199708191249.MAA27235@goofy.acri.fr> from "Jean-Michel Augusto" at Aug 19, 97 12:49:55 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 Jean-Michel, # Several times, there are mention of 'Develop in-house tools to...'. # So, my question is simply: is there somewhere something doing things # like: # -parse the log to make the list of today STOR operations # -check for hidden files/directories # -check for strange names # # If not, I think I will develop something in-house. I am starting to develop something that I'm planning on publicly releasing for possible inclusion in the standard wu-ftpd package (but at a minimum, available from the Resource Center). I could sure use some help. ;) I have written ftpck that checks the wu-ftpd configuration file and that portion of the setup. I am now developing an FTP Directory Audit Checker. I separated the two so the latter could be used in non-wu-ftpd ftp sites. Here is the tests that I'm looking to implement. The tool will not be wu-ftpd specific but will have wu-ftpd extensions supported in the checker. ======================================================================== FTP Data Directory Auditing ---------------------------- - Check ownership/links/permissions/size/md5 of all ftpd root directory required files and directories (~ftp, ~ftp/bin, ~ftp/etc ...) - Check ftp directory passwd and group files do not have real info in them. - Find all files and directories that are world-writable under the ftp data directories - Classify "error messages" as either Errors or Warnings or Informational - Home directory for ftp should exist, and not be / - Find files and directories that are suid. - If NFS mounted, check and assure nosuid option used. - check the gnu tar version in the ftp area does not allow arbitrary commands. - Check to see if site exec disabled. - Check for PASV problems. - List binaries in _PATH_EXEC. - List version of ftpd being run. - List files in public incoming data directory. - Assure space used in ftp incoming directory does not exceed some site specified amount - Need to build permlists for OS-specific files required in the ftp directories, such as : the required timezone files/directories are in place (varies by OS) ~ftp/dev/tcp set to 666 otherwise passive connections fail (Solaris 2) etc... - If user ftp exists in the system password file. - Assure a valid password is not specified in the password file for the ftp user. - Assure a valid shell is not specified in the password file for the ftp user. - Also if it could recursively check ~ftp for anything which could be written to or altered by an anonymous user (unless it is defined in an uploads directive in ftpaccess). I have found in the past that, although these things are usually set up carefully at the outset, they have a habit of slipping as time goes by. Since checking the whole of ~ftp might be a long job, this would be better made a non-default option. - Check for .rhosts files. owned by root and mode 0000 - Check for .forward files. owned by root and mode 0000 - Perhaps check where the logs are (and syslog.conf or what it's name is) .. - The ~ftp/etc/{passwd|group} should not be the same as the real ones. - For guest groups etc., check that usr/bin, usr/lib etc. directories are visible from each user's chrooted home directory, and that they contain the same files as those under the ~ftp equivalents. (You'd need to make this check in case the directories haven't been hard linked.) - Check for "shells" file and see if the list of shells found in the passwd file are in the shells file. * Also want to make sure that certain shells are _not_ listed, i.e. /bin/false, /bin/true, /bin/noftp, etc. * Make sure the shell the ftp user has in the passwd file is not in the shells file. ======================================================================== See anything missing here ? (I'm sure there is lots missing...) I started on it but then I stopped when beta 14 was released. I'm in the process of gettting beta-14 incorporated into all the virtual-faq support and all its docs updated on the Resource Center. Not sure this will be ready for you in your time frame needs, (now ;-)) but it will be there. Like I said, I could sure use some help. -- 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.

We've been battling this for some time at wuarchive, mainly in our /pub/incoming directory, but elsewhere as well. Our solution has been a relatively simple one: since we never have a reason for anyone to download files directly from the incoming directory, we have all uploads be unreadable (i.e. something like ----rw----, with group 'archive' being the group with permissions). This has solved our problems, since most uploaders quickly realize that they can't download what they've just uploaded :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Andy Ellsworth | are1@cec.wustl.edu | Admin/Cyberdiplomat, Wuarchive | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Tue Aug 19 11:37:06 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id LAA06644; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 11:28:26 -0500 (CDT) Received: from nuinfo.nwu.edu (nuinfo.nwu.edu [129.105.212.72]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA01650 for ; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 11:22:09 -0500 (CDT) Received: by nuinfo.nwu.edu (1.39.111.2/16.2) id AA265617725; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 11:22:05 -0500 Message-Id: <199708191622.LAA01650@wugate.wustl.edu> Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 11:22:04 CDT Reply-To: albert-lunde@nwu.edu (Albert Lunde) Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: albert-lunde@nwu.edu (Albert Lunde) To: jma@acri.fr Cc: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Subject: Re: Anonymous FTP Abuses In-Reply-To: <199708191249.MAA27235@goofy.acri.fr>; from "Jean-Michel Augusto" at Aug 19, 97 12:49 (noon) X-Sender: lunde@nuinfo.nwu.edu (Albert Lunde) X-Mailer: Elm [revision: 112.6] X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN > Hi, > > Yesterday, after 3 wonderful holiday weeks, I came back to my desk and > after few minutes I discovered that some bad boys (or girls) have used > my incoming directory to put some copyrighted software. > > Of course, I have removed them but I want a way to automatically > detect this kind of anonymous abuses (creation of hidden directories or > filenames like _ ...) and/or make an operation on them. I wrote a cron job that runs du periodically and mails me whenever there are changes. But I don't have an incoming directory. (Another thing the cron job does is reset permissions to make sure uploads are not possible.) I've hear that sites with incoming directories use cron jobs to move the contents to holding directories outside the ftp directory tree. -- Albert Lunde Albert-Lunde@nwu.edu From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Tue Aug 19 12:19:11 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA04219; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 12:12:33 -0500 (CDT) Received: from Bahamut.dragonfire.net (Bahamut.dragonfire.net [209.70.16.2]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA11892 for ; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 12:08:52 -0500 (CDT) Received: (from achurch@localhost) by Bahamut.dragonfire.net (8.8.5/8.7.5) id NAA26841; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 13:08:37 -0400 Message-Id: <199708191708.NAA26841@Bahamut.dragonfire.net> Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 13:08:36 EDT Reply-To: achurch@dragonfire.net Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: achurch@dragonfire.net (Andy Church) To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Subject: Re: Anonymous FTP Abuses X-Mailer: MMail v4.62 X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN > Yesterday, after 3 wonderful holiday weeks, I came back to my desk and > after few minutes I discovered that some bad boys (or girls) have used > my incoming directory to put some copyrighted software. > > Of course, I have removed them but I want a way to automatically > detect this kind of anonymous abuses (creation of hidden directories or > filenames like _ ...) and/or make an operation on them.

Now, I had checked many more aspects on my configuration. It seems now that it is impossible to misuse my FTP server .. I hope. My choices are : -deny any uploads/mkdir in the whole tree except in /incoming where the new files are immediately owned by an other user that the ftp one. -I use the ftplogcheck written by Koos van den Hout (many thanks to him) to detect any upload in /incoming. Now I have another problem : with this configuration, the update of the server is only possible from outside ftp. My real users (and me) want to be able to update the /pub directory themselves without asking me for each change. Is it possible to allow the upload/mkdir/delete only for real users in only the /pub directory ? the 'upload' directive does not seem to be enough for that. I have also see the guest possibilities (because I have already several ones in use). But I see no solution with this feature... I think that this kind of thing is done somewhere in the world no ? Once again many thanks for your help.

All that works great. Now my questions are these: How (specifically) do I setup user specific (or group specific) banners? I want a different banner for each group. Also, here is my scenario- Some standard users, chrooted to their home directories. A group called archive that shares /home/archive as a home directory. This is chrooted as well so that anyone in that group gets dumped there. The users in this group are ftponly, no shell access. I want to give some standard users access to this directory as well but because they are chrooted to their home directories they cant get to the /home/archive branch of the filesystem. I tried making a symbolic link but that didn't work. Linux refuses to allow me to make a hard link. How do I work this out?

It's a slightly improved version of what I've been using the past month, so its actually only very lightly tested...the price of progress. Looking at strace output of ascii mode transfers was scarey the way I'd originally done it...an alarm() after every byte, only it was really just lots and lots of alarm()s due to stdio buffering. I've been using -z240. Perhaps all the new alarm() calls should be replaced with if (zap_xfer_time) alarm()...or zap_xfer_time should default to non-zero...I don't know. I'm open to suggestions. There are also some changes to syslog's that log the result of ident as well as remote host name. Also, I think, a real bug fix, as the possible definition of USE_RUN had no meaning. diff -ruN wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-14/src/authenticate.h wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-14-fdt/src/authenticate.h --- wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-14/src/authenticate.h Fri Apr 1 14:03:39 1994 +++ wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-14-fdt/src/authenticate.h Sat Aug 23 00:48:57 1997 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ /* When of the supported authentication methods the ftp server will attempt * to use.

It works well, except for a little problem. When I do a 'ls' command, everything is ok: Ok, I do not have the 'dir' command in ~ftp/bin, but what about 'ls -la'? What should be done to have 'dir' available? Is it just a symbolic link or something? BTW, I noticed that accessing the FTP server through Netscape, gives no result, just the welcome message. Is this other situation related to the one described above? Keep in mind that I am just a wu-ftpd beginner, then maybe these are just FAQs, but I was not able to find a solution. Please reply by e-mail too, because I am not in this mailing list.

I have a S.u.s.e Linux 4.4.1 system but I don't know much about Linux. I try to setup WU-FTPD for Virtual Server that I can give every User his own root directory. I had a read me file in witch I ret I should compile it with the CFLAF –DVIRTUAL. And add the lines: virtual IP root /PATH virtual IP banner /PATH/welcome.msg virtual IP logfile /PATH/ftp_log to the etc/ftpaccess file. I did that but the FTP-Server (any IP) has still the same root Where can get support for it ?

How can you have a sp_lstchg of 0? Assuming they have a password, I would expect your /bin/passwd would have set sp_lstchg to the time the password was set. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis | Unsolicited commercial e-mail will Network Administrator | be proof-read for $199/message.

This could be useful for doing some testing on uploaded files. Does anyone have an idea ? You could set up a crontab job to periodically monitor certain directories and post-process uploaded files. To make sure that the cron job doesn't start post-processing before all files have been uploaded, you might want to trigger it via a special file created by your users after their upload has finished. --jc -- E-Mail: christoffel@gmd.de or one of {ftp,news,web}master@gmd.de GMD - German National Research Center for Information Technology Superstition brings bad luck. -- Raymond Smullyan From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Tue Aug 26 06:37:28 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id GAA28035; Tue, 26 Aug 1997 06:20:39 -0500 (CDT) Received: from ar4web.dlh.de (ar4web.dlh.de [195.212.93.254]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA09512 for ; Tue, 26 Aug 1997 06:15:48 -0500 (CDT) Received: from tb2-ws01.tb2.ham.dlh.de (tb2-ws01 [195.212.93.5]) by ar4web.dlh.de (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id NAA02948 for ; Tue, 26 Aug 1997 13:13:05 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from xnt-fralic-1.dlh.de by tb2-ws01.tb2.ham.dlh.de with ESMTP (SMI-8.6/GEN-1.0.17) via smtp for ar4web id NAA01061; Tue, 26 Aug 1997 13:10:43 +0200 Received: by XNT-FRALIC-1 with Internet Mail Service (5.0.1458.49) id ; Tue, 26 Aug 1997 13:14:19 +0200 Message-Id: Date: Tue, 26 Aug 1997 13:14:18 +0200 Reply-To: CLAUS.WITTE@LHSYSTEMS.COM Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: "WITTE, CLAUS" To: "'wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu'" Subject: Re:: User Access Denied MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.0.1458.49) X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN > Hi Ahmed, > > how does the entry for wu-ftpd in the '/etc/initd.conf' looks like ? > > I'm starting the wu-ftpd with the option -a; so the use of the > ftpaccess > configuration file is enabled.

Yes, I just found out how to do it a couple of days ago. I have three guest groups called ftpguest, sofi and circles according to the following ftpaccess file: class all real,guest,anonymous * class sofi guest * class sktgroup guest * guestgroup ftpguests sofi circles #******************************************************** #Anonymous ftp: banner /usr/local/home/ftp/messages/banner.msg # banner command uses system root message /messages/welcome.msg login # message command uses chrooted root upload /usr/local/home/ftp /upload yes root sys 0600 #******************************************************** log commands anonymous log transfer anonymous inbound, outbound log commands guest log transfer guest inbound, outbound log commands real log transfer real inbound, outbound email stig.isaksson@dal.lu.se I'm practically a wu-ftp-beginner so some parts of the file above may be unnessesary and unelegant but it works. The three guest users are guest (in group guestgroup), sofi (in group sofi) and sktgrupp (in group circles. Each of those users has a home folder of the same name as themselves, each folder with bin, dev, etc, and usr file structures below them (once made, those folders can be copied from one user to the others - NB!! WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE dev FOLDER, the contents of which must be created anew for each user with the mknod command) - three devices should be created in dev, like this: #mknod zero c 13 12 #mknod tcp c 11 42 #mknod udp c 11 41 #mknod ticotsord c 105 1 (So don't try to make those by copying them from somewhere else - my system at least (Solaris 2.5.1) hangs irrevocably if try something like that.) I see now that I might have replied to the part of your question where you may already know the answers (?). As to the permission part I suppose you can manipulate perms in the ordinary way (plus putting or not putting the commands in question - cmod etc.- in each user's etc directory). Good Luck!

They are using a program called "FXP" which apparently does direct data transfers between two FTP servers allowing people to transfer files at the speeds the two FTP servers are connected instead of limiting to their connection speed. In order to achieve this, FXP uses passive transfers and (apparently) is happy to transfer up at max. speed but if they try to transfer -from- my system it uses their connection speed. Some people have suggested that it is because wu-ftpd doesn't allow passive downloads, which sounds a little strange to me. Could someone please advise me on what is going on and how to enable passive xfers?

There's a little used feature in the FTP protocols that allows a client to set up third-party transfers, but I was under the impression that it was disabled by security checks in wu-ftpd. I don't completely understand this but I thought it was distinct from passive mode transfers. -- Albert Lunde Albert-Lunde@nwu.edu From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Wed Aug 27 22:19:29 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id WAA20706; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 22:07:20 -0500 (CDT) Received: from Bahamut.dragonfire.net (Bahamut.dragonfire.net [209.70.16.2]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id WAA20512 for ; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 22:05:28 -0500 (CDT) Received: (from achurch@localhost) by Bahamut.dragonfire.net (8.8.5/8.7.5) id XAA09476; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 23:05:20 -0400 Message-Id: <199708280305.XAA09476@Bahamut.dragonfire.net> Date: Wed, 27 Aug 1997 23:05:20 EDT Reply-To: achurch@dragonfire.net Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: achurch@dragonfire.net (Andy Church) To: wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Subject: Re: Passive Mode Xfers X-Mailer: MMail v4.62 X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN >Using wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-13] on a FreeBSD 2.2 system, I have had >several users report to me that they are able to upload files using >passive transfers, but not download them again. > >They are using a program called "FXP" which apparently does direct >data transfers between two FTP servers allowing people to transfer >files at the speeds the two FTP servers are connected instead of >limiting to their connection speed. > >In order to achieve this, FXP uses passive transfers and >(apparently) is happy to transfer up at max. speed >but if they try to transfer -from- my system it uses their >connection speed. I'd guess you're running into the limitation of wu-ftpd (around since the Hobbit fix-kit?) which prevents PORT commands from any host other than the host the source host--look for "refused PORT 0,xxxx" in your syslog. This is really a double-edged patch: It prevents things like the so-called "FTP bounce attack" which can be used to get around certain access restrictions, and prevents someone from making ftpd connect to reserved ports (can anyone think of a _real_ DoS [denial of service] attack based on this? I can't). On the other hand, it prevents legitimate use of PORT commands for hosts other than the one sending the command, and this is at least the second program I've heard of which takes advantage of this feature of FTP. I personally prefer it off; the code is around line 770 in ftpcmd.y if you want to tinker with it. Of course, your problem might be completely different. --Andy Church | If Bell Atlantic really is the heart achurch@dragonfire.net | of communication, then it desperately www.dragonfire.net/~achurch/ | needs a quadruple bypass.

To retain time stamps, the ftpd must support the MDTM command (which wu-ftpd does, aftpd doesn't), and your client must use it. (You might try something like 'quote HELP' to find out what commands the server knows about). Usually, clients either know about MDTM and retain time stamps auto- matically, or they don't and you won't have a chance to convince them to learn it. Usually, your vendor's ftp doesn't know it, neither does llnl-xftp, but ncftp does. -- Wilhelm -- Every program has two purposes -- one for which it was written and another for which it wasn't. -- *************************************************** Der Senator für Bau, Verkehr und Stadtentwicklung Referat 43 (Dienststelle Schlachte 32) Wilhelm Müller Tel: +49-421-361-10629 Ansgaritorstraße 2 Fax: +49-421-361-2295 D-28195 Bremen, Germany Bits KeyID Fingerprint 2048 C2F0A2D1 B1452644 DEBB647F 94AA3DA9 01608E0A 1024 9548B531 AE9AD94C 978ABC3F 4B25B52B 1E752137 512 48B324ED 885C3131 DDF53740 DB7F9421 2A5431EE From owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu Fri Aug 29 08:17:21 1997 Received: from host (wugate.wustl.edu [128.252.120.1]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id IAA01430; Fri, 29 Aug 1997 08:08:41 -0500 (CDT) Received: from svha0001.clipper.ssb.com (svha0001.clipper.ssb.com [192.250.113.12]) by wugate.wustl.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA01781 for ; Fri, 29 Aug 1997 08:04:40 -0500 (CDT) Received: from ssga.statestreet.com (ga010082.ssga.ssb.com [147.141.10.82]) by svha0001.clipper.ssb.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id JAA12696 for ; Fri, 29 Aug 1997 09:04:39 -0400 (EDT) Received: from am693.ssga.statestreet.com by ssga.statestreet.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id JAA25929; Fri, 29 Aug 1997 09:07:25 -0400 Received: by am693.ssga.statestreet.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA13255; Fri, 29 Aug 97 13:11:03 EDT Received: by am693.ssga.statestreet.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA13250; Fri, 29 Aug 97 13:11:02 EDT Received: from SSGA with "Lotus Notes Mail Gateway for SMTP" id D6400BC3FE11D8CB852565020046FAE2; Fri, 29 Aug 97 13:11:02 Message-Id: <9708291311.AA13250@am693.ssga.statestreet.com> Date: 29 Aug 97 9:04:19 EDT Reply-To: Liang_Chen@ssga.statestreet.com Sender: owner-wu-ftpd@wugate.wustl.edu From: Liang Chen/BOSTON/SSGA To: wu-ftpd Subject: How to disallow guest users changing directory?
