Subject: Restrict put capacities only for local users.

I have two classes of anonymous users, the locals users that match my
domain, and the remote users that doesn't match my domain. I want to
restrict put capacities ONLY for LOCAL users, is it possible?

This is some lines of my /etc/ftpaccess:

-
class   local anonymous *.foo.bar 0.0.0.0
class   remote anonymous *
...
limit   local   25   Any              /etc/msgs/msg.toomany
limit   remote  10   Any              /etc/msgs/msg.toomany
...
upload  /home/ftp  /incoming     yes     ftp    daemon  0600 nodirs
...
-

Thanks in advance.

Hi I've 

made two little changes to the 2.4.2-B15.

1. I've added the keyword  ,,chdir <yes|no> <typelist>''.
   f.e if you like to have some guest or. distribution accounts that
   have access to one directory only.

2. I've added the keyword ,,system'' as an upload root-dir.
   f.e. with the following line in the ftpaccess you can deny
   any upload into the /tmp dir also for real users.

   upload system /tmp* no nodirs


Ciao Thorsten

Put a line in ftpaccess like

upload /ftp_root_path /incoming yes root daemon 0400 nodirs

That way they cannot create directories and cannot read back or
overwrite any uploaded files.  If you can still create directories,
something may be wrong with the daemon.

Set /incoming to 0733, owned by root.daemon or some other non
anonymous user.group.  That way they can create files but cannot read
the contents of the directory back.

Now that RFC 2228 was published in October 1997 my managers are starting
to ask about it. Dont remember reading any discussion in the mailing
list about it? So what are people thoughts, should WUFTPD be enhanced to
support these FTP security extensions?

Hi

I had problems seeing the owner and group names in "dir"-command.

Thanks to Jim Davis:

He's right.

And the best is, there's a shell script at the end of that man page 
which makes the directory setup for bin, dev, etc and usr.
Because I'm not sure about legal rights, I don't post it here. But it 
worked for me after repairing one line:

orig: ftplib="`echo $ftplib | tr ' ' '0 | sort | uniq`"
new : ftplib="`echo $ftplib | tr '^M' ' ' | sort | uniq`"

the ^M is a ctrl-M.

Cheers, Roland.

John,
  I got hit by them on Thanksgiving myself. The line that took care
of it for me (I think and hope) was...
upload /public/ftp /incoming yes ftp  other 0640 nodirs

  Our FTP site is primarily for local use, so I also defined "local"
and "remote" classes (set via IP address) and limited remote connections
to 5. If nothing else, this will slow down their progress if they should
get back in.

  I thought I had followed the setup instructions pretty closely, but
if I did and this wasn't in it I'd like to see this added.  BTW--Major
THANKS to the setup contributors! If Sun's docs were only half this
good....

later,
-greg

Subject: How to deal with WareZ?
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

How do I figure out whether a record in xferlog is GET or PUT?
The following lines are the beginning of my latest WareZ episode.
I'm using DOMAIN1 and DOMAIN hide the real domains.  What are the
typical procedures people take when it happens?  Should I contact
the domains' administrators?  I assume the attackers are not
the administrators considering they used dialup accounts.
My server was bogged down for several days.  I don't want to
punish them too harsh considering they might be a few kids.
But I'm angry.

The 'i' after the '_' would indicate that the file was incoming. An
'o' in place of the 'i' would represent a file sent from the server to the
client; ie and outgoing file.

This doesn't directly relate to wu-ftpd but since the members are knowledgeable
ftp'ers here goes my question:

I want to ftp a file to a remote site where a program will automatically
process it once it's transferred. What are the different ways that the
remote program can know that the transfer is complete ? (I obviously don't want
the program to pick up the file in the midst of the transfer)

Thank you

Hi, I'd like to ask if anyone can point me to
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-15 binaries for Solaris 2.4/2.5?
(can't compile on production machine here)

Hi,

I still have the same problems seeing the owner and group names.

I followed all the instructions on Sun's in.ftpd man page and also tried
the script at the end of the man page. But it doesn't work. I only see
UID and GID numbers using the 'dir' command.

The version 2.5.1 doesn't have this line. 
Any hints for Solaris 2.5.1?

Thanks, Martin

You should use FileDrive EX.  It hass all the wu-ftpd features
plus security and *Active Agents*.   Active Agents lets you
define automated actions to run on files.   You can define them
to run at start of transfer, failure of transfer, or completed file transfer.

wu-ftpd does not have this capability.  It doesn't know when a file
has completed transferring.

When we built our FIleDrive SX and EX servers (partially based on wu-ftpd)
we tried to deal with this Warez problem.  I got hacked late last
year by some naughty warez kiddies.  SO what we did is:
 1- Web-based admin system so you can configure these things more easily.
 2- Security auditing system that can alert you to new dirs and files
      that get uploaded.  We also added some treats that scan the
      file types looking for things that could be OS patches.  There
     are some nasty vulnerabilities in UNIX that can let folks
    who can upload really clobber you ....

 3- upload perms are on a per user basis, *not* per directory as in wu.

If you wanna know more, just call.  :-)

Subject: security of /bin/passwd?

Is there any security reason to not use /bin/passwd for a shell for a
chroot, guest user so they can change their password anytime they want?

here is the /etc/passwd entry that I'm talking about to be clear:

focus:123432:101:101:Focus Comics:/usr/ftpusers/focus/./:/bin/passwd

or am I opening myself up wide open?  

Also, is virtual anonymous available (ie:  I can do anonymous for focus
and anonymous for furph.com and they will goto two different directories?)

thanks

beckers

I usr wu-ftpd-2.4.2 academ beta 15 (from the rpm file) on my linux redhat
4.2 server (linux 2.0.30) and it work great except that I got any log of
the ftp session.
How can I correct this ? Is there a patch for wu-ftpd or linux ?

Another question, is it possible to make a two differents type of guest
users (by checkung on the ip address), one who can't make a DEL and one who
can ?

Thanks.

I have followed the HOW to for creating a guest account that does a chroot
for a ftp user. The chroot works but ls does not return any file names.
If a filename is known it can be retrieved, just not seen.. Any help
would be great.

The manpage misses libmp.so*, unfortunately.  So try copying
/usr/lib/libmp.so.* to your ftp library directory and see if that fixes
it.

The procedure to set up an external 'ls' is covered in the guest
howto.  OS specific tips are toward the end of the doc.  You probably
have a dynamically linked ls installed without the necessary support
libs/devices.  Go over the guest howto again and pay attention to
every detail.

I couldn't agree more.  If this activity of pickup up "leads" off
of this list continues, people will avoid using a list for support,
sharing of knowledge due to the high incident of "sales calls".

I have the same set up.  Logging goes to /var/log/xferlog.  This is set at
compile time, check out _PATH_XFERLOG in src/pathnames.h and
USE_VAR and USE_LOG in src/config.h .

Sure.  I guess I figured that since I do post answers to many
questions on a frequent basis, and because our product is 
the only professionally supported wu-ftpd-compatible in the world,
that maybe occaisionally someone might want to hear about
it.

We've got people who've spent more than 1 year each of their lives
living inside the wu code on a daily basis, so we're pretty qualified
to answer questions about it.

Generally, if I err and mention our product, it is because it support
a feature that someone on the list asks for, but that isn't
available in wu.

I'll be quiet now.

It appears that Macintosh users with Netscape are unable to establish a
socket connection with the ftp site.  The Fetch FTP client works fine from
the Mac -- it seems to be just Netscape.
Netscape works fine from Windows 95.
Mac/America Online getting the error message "This FTP site does not
support Passive Mode"

Does any one have a fix for this?

We are running 2.1.7.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.1.7.1-RELEASE with Version
wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-13}.

Our problem is that anonymous users connections appear to stay open a long
time even after they have finished there download. A ps -aux | grep ftpd
shows users from a month ago ?

Will a new version of the software fix this problem or is it a config issue
?  If its new software can I simply compile the ftpd and still use my old
config files.

Unfortunately you neglect to say what your OS is, so this _may_ not apply to
you...  However, if you're running on a Solaris 2 box, you need to make sure
that ~ftp/dev/tcp has write permissions set for the world.  This is
documented in the FAQ available at 
   http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html
or via Kent Landfords's WU-FTPD Resource Center at
   http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/

Hope this helps...

I did the following:

~bikes/etc/group:

root:*:0:root
bikes:*:1006:bikes,larryl

Copy from /etc/sia dir to ~bikes/etc/sia the files matrix.conf and
siainitgood like the faq said.

ftpaccess has guestgroup	bikes

I know the ftpaccess file is getting read from inetd.conf since other
stuff from it is happening (like noretrieve passwd).  bikes can log in
just fine, but the chroot is just not
happening.  I also tried changing the passwd entry to be like
/usr/local/wwwsites/www.bikesonthenet.com/./htdocs and that didn't help,
bikes could just login into /usr/local/wwwsites/www.bikesonthenet.com.
does anyone else have wu running under Digital unix 4.0 without c2?

I don't remember seeing answers from you regarding specific help with
wu-ftpd.  I read much mail quickly, so maybe I missed it.  So, I went
to the archives for this mailing list and queried on "Jevans", also on
"differential".  The results on both are below. 

                  Sorry... NO Matches were found for query

I don't know what the lag time is between the list and the archives.

What I have seen in the last few days is a rapid escalation in direct
solicitation for your product, where none has been here before.

Feel free to do just that.  Any contributions you have to make to
wu-ftpd are welcome.  Promotions, thinly disguised or blatant, of your
own commercially competing product are not.

I'm not the list mom.  I do have a long standing track record of years
with this list, as do others who have given more than I have.  I know
the culture of this list, and your commercials are new and unwelcome,
to me at least.

No, what you have done is advertise features that yours has in
response to help requests about wu-ftpd.  It isn't just that people
have asked about specific features that yours has.  The "answers" you
have posted have contained no directly helpful information to get them
going with wu-ftpd and thus are off charter.

Which complier are you using. I have Solaris 2.4 with gcc version 2.7.2

A long known problem.  I think beta 15 clears up a few more of these

  Here's one method that works pretty well:

  1) Ensure that you have a distinct log message (syslog or tranfer log) when
the
     transfer is completed successfully. That's your trigger. You may need to
     add log messages to the code for this.

  2) Get swatch. It's log watching program that looks for user-specified
patterns
     in a log file, and executes a user-specified command when such a pattern
     appears. It's very useful for ordinary sysadm work. You'll need perl to
run it.

  3) Set up swatch to watch the logfile where the trigger message appears, and
     set up a pattern:action rule for that particular transfer.

  As you hace access to perl pattern matching, you can set up rather complex
matches.

  Also, this will start the action as soon as the log message appears.
If you don't need that quick response, you can also feed swatch the logs
that have been collected since last time, and so run the necessary actions
at a time that you decide.

  If you'd rather not use perl, it's not too difficult to write a small C
program that does much the same thing by using the regexp package.

hope this helps,

This is the right hint, thank you.

Additionally, the entries in ~ftp/etc/passwd must have the right number
of ':', e. g.

root:*:0:1:::

Otherwise (if the concluding ':::' are missing) the entry is taken 
from NIS passwd.

Most people are human and understand such things. On top you can allways
control what information you give out. It should be in every sysadmin's
interest not to have his users do stupid stuff, because in the end it
might be himself who's the victim. So I would call the admin and talk and
see...

Has anyone tried to implement a threaded verson of the server?
This would have much performance benefit.  However, it seems
to have many challenges as far as user IDs go (ie. setuid
an chrooting).  Also global state variables would appear
to be a real mess.   Ideas?  Progress to report?

WRT: searching the archives.
Searching the wu-ftpd list archives by user name *doesn't work*.
eg. a search for  mbrennen reveals: NO Matches were found.
However, browsing the archives shows that there are numerous
posts from him and others..... hmmmm.

I recently installed a copy of WU-ftpd from

Well, before multi-thread, having a stand alone version should
come first.  I looked into the code lately, the configuration
files are read for every command.  For a stand-alone server,
the configuration can be loaded into the memory at startup.

Ftp it to a different file name, then rename it to the expected file name as
a second ftp command.  Then as soon as the file exists (under the expected
name), it's complete.
Renames in unix are atomic.

Does anyone know of ports of a recent wuftpd to Windows NT or VMS?
We're looking at using the server as the basis for a distributed file
transfer system and need an ftp daemon for NT and VMS which gives us
the ability to use "site exec". We're also thinking of implementing the
IETF's machine readable directory information draft standard so source
availability is pretty important. Quick searches for free (with source)
ftp daemon's for either OS hasn't turned anything up. Right now,
porting wuftpd is looking like the simplest option.

Related to this, is anyone working on adding the IETF extensions to
wu-ftpd?

Thanks in advance,

-Mark.

I did this exact search last night before posting my response about
'Jevans'.  A search on 'mbrennen' in the wu-ftpd mailing list archive
shows:

We have been running wu-ftpd on a BSDI system and recently upgraded to
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-15.  Since that time, only ftp connections are
logged; commands are not.  I saved the old ftpd before installing the
new one, and if I switch back to it, logging of commands starts up
again. 

Any help or suggestions on how to get logging working properly would be
greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance,

I am aware of this archive site:  http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/

It doesn't seem to work with searching by author.
Is there another searchable wu archive site?

I just tried it myself and it worked.  It may have been that you tried
it during the "exact time" the newly rebuilt index was being renamed
but I thought I had that covered with a "Index rebuild in progress"
condition... :-) Maybe not. I'll check again.

Please, if you run across something on the Resource Center that is strange,
out of place, missing or needed drop me a note.  I'm always looking at
ways to improve it and make it more useful.

Also remember that if you have wu-ftpd extensions you'd like to see added
leave a suggestion in the suggestion section or the Resource Center. Tracking
suggestions from there will be a lot easier than trying to 'mine' the 
mailing list archives... ;)

Hmmm.  I thought someone did a patch for this already?
We did this in FileDrive and it improves performance *dramatically*.
Watch out though, if the config files change, be sure
to reread them before forking.

This doesn't deal with the crux of the issue, however, which 
is determining if the file is completely there before processing,
or renaming.    wu-ftpd doesn't know if the file is completely there.

Remember also that sometimes file transfers aren't successful
and you get only part of the file.  WU logs these as completed
transfers.   The challenge is to figure out if you got the whole file.
This is difficult, because the FTP protocol doesn't specify file
sizes before sending, and it has no way to ACK that the file was delivered
in its entirety.

We've been working on extensions that involve crypto signatures to verify
that files are completely delivered (even if it takes multiple resends).

If anyone has done similar work I'd love to talk.

I looked through the wu code a few months ago.. with plans to thread it.
After spending a couple hours, it became apparent that it would be easier
to start from scratch. Especially if you want to maintain regular unix
type user logins, as you mentioned. Since from what ive tested, wuftpd
starts dieing at around 2k logins (not necessarily xfers in progress)..
a site with that many logins is going to be mostly anonymous. If not,
they probably have more than 1 machine doing it anyway.. and 2k per
machine is decent....  In the end i had to end up writing my own.

Besides, doing the security on it for regular user type logins wouldnt be
trivial... compared to chroot() anyway. Even though its per process, and
its not perfect.. its alot easier then keeping that state info.

That is true, i couldnt think of a defacto way to figure out if a upload
was completed fully and successfully. But, you can usually beware of a few
things. One is, were there any errors? If there were read() type errors or
something similar, you can be pretty sure the file was not complete. And
ofcourse.. if it was cancled midway through. Altho this wouldnt be a
perfect fix.. id bet it would catch more than half of incomplete xfers. :)

I hope this is the right place for questions like this, if not, i would
appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.


I'm trying to install the washington university ftp daemon on a sunsparc
10 under solaris 2.5 for an anonymous ftp site. Because of disk space
limitation, I'm running into some trouble getting it properly installed. 
The ftp site wants to be in /var/spool/ftp.  However, there is not enough
room for it in the /var partition.  I tried to mount the /var/spool/ftp
directory on a separate partition.  When i do this the anonymous ftp site
can not read any directory info or file info.  It gives the following
error: 

****
230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number.
ftp> 
****

The ftp site still works for people who log in with their login names,
just not anonymous users. 

It also works correctly if i install it in the /var partition, but there
isn't enough room for our public ftp files.  Does anyone know how to get
around or fix this problem????

Yep.  Thats what we do if you are using a regular FTP client.
Check for broken pipes, ABORT commands, etc.   This does get
many of the incompleted xfers.   If the server talks to a client
that supports our extensions, then we enable the more reliable
message checksumming to determine if the file is completely
uploaded.

This is very important if you are using FTP to implement things
like EDI or EFT or various kinds or remote document processing.
In those cases it become pretty critical to know if the
file is completely there before triggering a processing stage.

The problem is that the silly FTP protocol relies on a
read() returning 0 bytes to indicate the end of a file transfer.
There are many failure conditions that look like this.  :-(

You definitely do not need to use /var/spool/ftp.  You can
use any directory (partition).

But your problem seems to be a network problem, firewall 
or host blocking of PORT.

Done. Take a look a 

http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/mirror/experimental/wu-2.4.2-upd13.shar

Lee McLoughlin (lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk) has made some nice changes that should be
a part of the baselined wu-ftpd.

Sounds an awful lot like the static vs dynamic "ls" problem
described in the FAQ.  See "http://www.landfield.com"
  
It'll describe how to fix the problem. BTW--Be sure to
get the latest version (beta15).

wu-ftpd list archive:     http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/mail-archive/

This is the one I used.  I searched it with lynx 2.6.  I don't know of
another archive site.

To all on the list: please understand that I in no way am disparaging
the product that Mr. Jevans is presenting.  It may be very good, very
useful; I've not looked at it.  I just don't think this is the place
to promote it.  Many different lists I have been on have slid rapidly
when competing commercial posts started, and I have no wish to see
that happen to this list.

I wrote earlier today about having problems setting up an anonymous wu-ftp
site.  Thank you for all the replies i have received.  The problem turned
out to be something very simply and basic.  The answers i received helped
point me in the right direction. The problem was the partition we intended
to use, had "nosuid" flag set.  I thought i had checked this earlier, but
it somehow slipped past both the system administrator and myself.  

Once again, thank you for the replies, you definately helped us to figure
out what the problem was.

Yes. We run b15 on Solaris 2.6. I had to just break down and build a
static ls and it works fine now. The time it took to get everything
together (gnu sources and the static patch) and make the static ls
compared to the time I spent working on it previously made me wish I had
just made the static ls at the begining.

So, if you are looking for an opinion of what to do on Solaris 2.6...my
vote goes to just throwing in the towel and building a new ls.

	Try to use '-L' option  while  starting  ftpd  daemon.  But this

Hi,

I've had the same problem, working with nis.
Changing the permission in dev/ directory, now it works:

Hi everybody,

I am setting up an anonymous  FTP server for solaris 2.5.1
(wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-15) and since different sources of information give
different and sometimes contradictory pieces of advice, I would like to ask
you a few questions :

- the server seems to work fine with only /dev/tcp, but I've read that
/dev/ticotsord, /dev/udp and /dev/zero are also required. Can someone tell
me what for ? Note that I'm using a statically linked ls, if that matters.
- should the device(s) have permissions 666 or 644 (they are owned by root)
?

- NO upload is allowed on this server. In this case, does the user "ftp"
have to own any file in the server directory tree ? (it seems to work fine
without).

- In this case (no anonymous upload), is it worth considering putting the
FTP server itself in a chrooted environment as it is suggested in the
Anonymous FTP FAQ ? What extra security would it provide ? Note that there
is no binary in the server directory tree apart from "ls".

Last question : would it make a difference on Solaris 2.6 ?

Thanks in advance,

Sorry, I forgot one question :

- are netconfig and nsswitch.conf required in etc with a static ls and no
use of NIS ?

in this area?

Cygnus did an implementation of the GSSAPI mechanism as a part of their
KerbNet product, which you can get free from
http://www.cygnus.com/product/kerbnet-index.html.  This code has also
been integrated into MIT's krb5 tree.  There are several other
implementations, but none are free.  I am currently looking at what it
would take to integrate what was done there with wu-ftpd.

Now the problem...  The FTP Protocol is in the process of changing and
potentially drastically.  Yes it will be backwards compatible with the
current RFC 959 but beyond that...

There is a great deal of work that is ongoing with the IETF FTPEXT working
group.  These efforts include

     * FTP Security Considerations 
     * FTP Extensions for Variable Protocol Specification 
     * Internationalization of the File Transfer Protocol 
     * Feature negotiation mechanism for the File Transfer Protocol 
     * Extended Directory Listing and Restart Mechanism for FTP 

For more information on this see http://w3.hethmon.com/ftpext/ 

[ Stepping up on to the soapbox and grabbing the microphone... ]

I have some serious concerns about the way the community is approaching this
area.  There seems to be multiple camps producing FTP related works that are
not communicating with the others.  Because of that we are seeing the begining
of splintering of FTP capabilities.  Something needs to happen or we may see 
the end of a "Fully" functional FTPD that is available in source form. 

What do I mean ?  If there is not an effort, in much the same light as the
appache or linux folks, to incorporate these new features then the only 
version of FTPD that you will want to run in a production network is one
you have to pay bucks for. The free versions will not have the neat and nifty
features that management sees as a checklist item.  I'm sick of that approach.

Wu-ftpd was developed to better the foundation of the net (NSF grant funded 
development).  Because of that we have all benefited.  What would it be like
for the smaller sites if there wasn't an effort such as Apache and you had to 
buy your web server, your mailers, your ftp client and server software, your
PC operating systems, etc. ?

I propose we need to address this on this list soon or watch the wu-ftpd
become just a footnote in Internet history.

[ Stepping down to see the crowds reaction and take my licks. ]

Thoughts ?

Short question.

Has anyone tried to compile wu-ftpd under RedHat 5.0 now that its using
glibc? I tried but got numerous errors (unfortunately I didn't save them

at the time). To solve the problem I went back to redhat 4.2 and the
conventional libc and beta 15 compiled no problems.

Since wu-ftp still comes with RedHat 5.0 I assume there must be some way

of compiling it......maybe some switches or something. I'm considering
returning to RedHat 5 but really need to get an answer to this question
first.

Thanks

Regards

leaving out /dev/ticotsord crashes Solaris versions before 2.6 if a
chrooted program tries to obtain a lock on an nfs mounted file system.

You'll need /dev/udp for NFS if any server does not accept NFS
protocol vers 3 (or you configured the mount to use version 2), as
well as for NIS, if you need that.

User ftp never needs to own any files, even in upload areas. It just
needs write access in the latter case, but it doesn't matter by what
rules (a+w, acls) it gets it.

If you create a directory tree for ~ftp, you'll get the chrooted
environment automatically. If you set ~ftp to / (even then a
chroot("/") will be done, but you'll need spmething like lsof to
detect it), your whole directory tree will be visible, and I wouldn't
bet that wu-ftpd (or any other program) wouldn't contain some funny
bug somewhere.


 > Last question : would it make a difference on Solaris 2.6 ?

I haven't yet tried it, but at least wrt /dev/ticotsord there should
be one.


 > - are netconfig and nsswitch.conf required in etc with a static ls and no
 > use of NIS ?

netconfig: yes
nsswitch.conf: I'm not sure if wu-ftpd makes any gethostby...() calls
after the chroot(). If so, you'll need it just to enable dns lookups.
All other entries should just contain ``files''.

I have wu-ftpd-2.4 running on a Solaris 2.5.1 machine and have not 
been able to get the "ls" command to work properly when I ftp in.
"ls" by itself will return a listing of files - no attributes.     
"ls -l" will pause for a while and return NO listing of files.
Strange thing is,  if I ftp in from a completely different domain - 
the "ls" command will return NO listing of files. 

Any help in pointing me in the right direction is greatly 
appreciated!

The external 'ls' is not working properly.  The guest howto and FAQ
should get you over this bump.

Subject: passive mode and firewalls
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

While recently setting up a firewall I learned about passive mode for
ftp.  It wasn't a happy finding as it would be preferable to keep ftp
services contained to the normal ftp and ftp-data ports.

If passive mode is disabled in the server will most (or all) popular ftp
clients and web browsers revert to using normal mode if an error message
is sent in response to the PASV command?

Is there any way of using ftpaccess to disable the PASV command with
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-15 and if not might this be added in the near future?

Thanks!
Ty

I found that and tried one of the patches.  There are two problems:

1) I would still prefer no PASV at all if that is practical.  I have
one report from email not related to this list that says you can return
the following and all clients (including Netscape) would revert back to
normal transers:

reply(525, "Can't open passive connection: Undefined error: 0.");

His patch returns this from the top of passive() and then returns from
the function.

2) The port range limiting patch I tried didn't work:

Note that in each case the patch reports using one port yet connections
show up on an other.  I have no idea why this is.

If disabling PASV isn't a reasonable plan of action then I would like
to at least get port limiting to work.

Thanks!

What architecture are you using?  When assigning ports to the in_addr
structure you must use htons(portnum) because the TCP/IP specs mandate
this bit order in the structure.  I've hit this before when taking code
from a sparc and placing it onto an x86 architecture which has a different
byte order. :)

My only problem was netscrape seemed to mandate it; but if returning
that error makes it resort back to regular mode, I'd be willing to
disable PASV mode! :)

 I have setup WU-FTPD Beta 15 and it seems to be working great on my
BSDI
 box.  I have setup about 5 virtual domains and so far so good.  The
 question that I have is this.  Is there anyway to have WU-FTPD use a
 different passwd file???  I would like to have my virtual domains to be

 totally separate.

 If this is possible, is it secure???

Plus, if it is not available, does anyone know when it might be?

 Thanks

 Fred Rappuhn

It is not currently possible but work is on-going with the newvirt-040
version of virtual domain support. (http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/newvirt)
I are hoping to have it integrated shortly. (Hopefully within the next week.)

What I'm doing is wrappering the getpwnam(), endpwent(), getgrnam(),
endgrent() and the getgroups() functions. If you are using virtual_mode
and an alternate passwd/and or group file exists in that domains config
directory then it is used instead of the system one.

There is a problem here that can be easily dealt with via policy (and maybe
via software but I haven't figured that out yet unless I just forbid it).  

The problem is uid/gids.  If you have a virtual domain, the user and group 
ids used in the alternate password file better either not exist in the system 
passwd or group file or match the same user or group.  You would not want to 
this virtual domain software to create a new way to do group sharing... ;)  
If you could allocate a block of UIDs and GIDs to a single domain ...

As always I'm open to suggestions.

You can find out exactly what RedHat did to build wu-ftp.  This is one of
the great things about RPMs.

Install the source RPM:

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat-5.0/SRPMS/wu-ftp*

Then look in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/wu* for
patches and the build process.

Sounds great.  I look forward to installing it.  I am using BSDI 3.1, so I will
let you know if I have any problems on that platform.

In regards to the UID/GID issue, I am not a UNIX expert so forgive me if this
doesn't make sense.  What I am trying to accomplish is that I want to have many
virtual domains on my system.  I want each one to be able to have their own FTP
account and POP3 accounts.  I would like to allow them to add FTP/POP3 accounts
on their own.  And that these would stay only in their password file.  This would
allow each domain name to have say a username of george.  Plus it would prevent
someone from using a username and password that works on one domain and use it
with another domain on my system.  Since this password file is not the "real"
password file, couldn't each of the usernames have the same UID/GID in the domain
password file???

Are you going to post a message in this message group when the new version is
done???  I am willing to test it for you on BSDI 3.1...

Thanks

I was wondering if any of the developers were looking at implementing
LDAP authentication in future versions of Wu-ftpd.  I am currently
investigating the possibility of such a venture.

Hmm. I can't help you with the pop3 stuff.  Their configuration would need to be
altered to support this.  You could have different george accounts but the uid and
gid should not be the same.  If they were then one george could possibly overwrite
another's file if their uid was the same.

Yes, I will post a message when it is available.  The first few sites will need to
be very brave. ;)  This will definitely need to be looked at by others before I'll
feel comfortable.

but if you set upload permissions on the anonymous directory to be not
executable, would that help?  If I can't use gtar to make a static tar,
what can I use (under Digital Unix 4.0)?

thanks

I've just set up guest FTP on a RedHat Linux box, using wu-ftp
2.4.2b11-11. The set up went well, and guest FTP worked exactly as
advertised re: chroot, restricted cd, and so forth.

However, once this was set up, regular FTP user could no longer
successfully execute /bin/ls on their home directories, nor could they cd
above them! They could, however, put and get files.

I had only changed 3 things in /etc/ftpaccess from it's default settings: 

1) allowing overwrite permissions to guests and anonymous

2) adding the line: 

	"path-filter guest /etc/pathmsg ^[-A-Za-z0-9_\.]*$ ^\.  ^-"

3) adding the line:

	"guestgroup ftponly"

Eliminating these 3 lines from /etc/ftpaccess returns FTP access for real
users back to normal, but also allows guest users to cd out of their
assigned directories. 

Is this a bug in 11-11 which requires an upgrade, or am I getting
something totally goofed up here?  Any pointers would be greatly
appreciated... 

TIA,

--Duncan

I would love to be one of those first few sites.  This will help out hosting companies
greatly and I really appreciate the effort you are putting into this.

I was thinking more about guest accounts, where typically the guest
user owns the files they upload.  It may not be a problem -- I have
had zero time to try it.

Wouldn't it be a better idea to use PAM rather than re-inventing the wheel?

Howdy, I have recently download wu_ftp 2.4 and have got problems building 
it. Do anyone have any pointers/suggestions as to what the problem is? 
This is the output I get:

Implementing PAM would require total rewrites to the user authentication
section to accomadate it.  This is not something that I have time for at
the present time.  I do have time for the wrapper extensions as there are
so few places that I have to replace calls and so little code to write.

PAM is a good idea. This is exactly the type of thing I was talking about
the other day when I said things need to start moving faster.  I'd really
like to see it done but I have a problem to solve. And from the non-reaction
I received from my rant it doesn't look as if I'm going to get much help.
So I'll do it this way for now. If I'm the only one using it, so be it.
When people find time to think about doing it right we'll probably find a
near total code reorg is in order.

If this sounds bad I apologize. It was not meant to.  It's been a long day and
I nearly have the wrappers done...

I must have missed your original posting.  I agree with you that WU needs a
serious looking to.  Something on the order of what Apache did to NCSA.
And I would really like to help in this work.  The problem is I have no
spare time.  I'm behind in my regular work schedule and probably won't have
any spare time until next spring.  I was hoping to use WU in one of my
current projects.  That way I could be paid to put some work in.  I decided
to go with HTTP and NPH-CGI instead.

My highly personal wish-list:
Better config file format
Better error logging.  (If ls or zip won't work, I need an error as to why,
damn it!  And trafic on this list would plummet! -:)
Common log format (ie access_log) log files would be cool

Things that would be useful:
Stand-alone server w/ threading
PAM
Expansion module capability

While we're dreaming, why not:
CGI-like capabilities (get a file, said-file is executed, output is
transmited.  The problem now is, how do you transfer the file contents, not
it's output? -:)
transfer-triggered execution (transfer a file too/from a directory, trigger
external program before and/or after)
.ftaccess files, operating like .htaccess

As I see it, we first need the new config files and a stand-alone server.
Then we could write the expansion module stuff.  Stand-alone server comes
first because parsing the config files and loading the expansion modules at
each invocation would be a bad performance hit.  After that, we can run
wild with writing modules.

Then again, could one write an FTP module for Apache and leverage their
code-base?  Or even just grab Apache, gut out all the HTTP stuff and use it
as a squeleton?  (Remember, I'm in dream-on mode -:)

I have yet to really look at the source code.  I have no idea what state
it's in nor how much work or reworking it would take to get any of this
done.  Provoked by an article in Linux Journal, I've thought about PAM a
bit.  One complication I see is the chrooting business and how it would
relate to pam_open_session(1).  In fact we might have to write a PAM module
to take care of guest users, anonymous users and the "virtual" users you're
working on.  

>If this sounds bad I apologize. It was not meant to.  It's been a long day

Hey, no worries.  I've had a bad week too.  I find a St-Ambroise Oatmeal
Stout helps.

Hey guys!  Wu-ftpd already works with PAM.  That is exactly what Redhat
ships on their CD and is available at their ftp site.  The pam module
doesn't provide support for virtual domains but it is there and it does
work.  ...works quite well in fact.

Cheers!

Subject: On the future development of wu-ftpd
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

It is certainly my intention to continue to support wu-ftpd as my time 
permits, but perhaps that is just too slow a pace for many of you who want to
see a number of new features added before all the bugs are stomped. My desire
is to stomp the bugs in the current server before we rip it apart to add new
features. The two goals work against each other with the way the current
server is constructed.

It is my plan to work towards a release of 2.4.2 followed by an 
autoconfiguration version of the same server which I will call 2.4.3. 

After that, I had planned to significantly change the server in many of the
ways the apache team overhauled the NCSA server. At that point, I was going
to suggest that a project like apache be organized to provide modules for
that new server that might implement some of the features folks want. That 
future (in my time line) was to start next year in the summer. The first
release was to be a new basic server that would be compliant with the FTPEXT
documents and would have a new API through which folks to build modules to 
hook in new features. This server would not implement everything in wu-ftpd
at the first release, but would build up features on a module-by-module
basis. At that point, my job would be to maintain the basic server and
perhaps house a module repository (with appropriate mirror sites) and look
to others to build and maintain modules. The biggest help to me in making
that happen would be to define the API as well as the basic feature set for
the basic server. 

For those of you who can't wait for those developments, I would suggest you
organize a project to take the 2.4.2 beta 15 server and release something
that might be called release 3.0 or might have an altogether different name.

Hello,

	Is it possible to have anon. ftp like account on a per users basis.
							   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	What I mean is the  ability  to have  multiple  anon.  ftp  like
	accounts on the system.

	For  example,  you could  have a "user1"  account  with a set of
	files below that and a "user2"  account with a different  set of
	files.

	This would be  different  than  logging on as an  existing  user
	since  when you do that you have  access  to the  entire  system
	(e.g.  doing a cd / actually  takes you to the root  directory).
	In this case, a chroot  would be done that would  limit the user
	to just the directories under the "user1" or "user2" account.

	Thanks in advance for any help.

With Regards,
Harshal

Hello folks.

OK, my /etc/ftpconversions and /etc/ftpaccess are set up to allow the
transfer of gzipped and tarred files (this is the default, I think).  I
stuck a copy of gzip and tar in ~ftp/bin/ (this is under Slackware 3.4
Linux).  However, when I do "get <foo>.gz" or "get <foo>.tar" I always
wind up with a zero-length file locally.  There is something I'm missing
and it's driving me batty.  ;/  The FAQ was searched, but that didn't help
much.

The version of wu-ftpd I am running is "(Version
wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-15](1) Tue Nov 11 20:12:26 CST 1997)".  Thanks in
advance for any help.

Keith Warno

PS -- One more thing, not related to sending compressed files... If I try
to log into the ftp server as a real user, give an incorrect passwd, then
type "ls", I get a message like:

	ftp> ls
	530 Please login with USER and PASS.
	ftp: bind: Address already in use
	ftp>

What's the "bind" line all about?  Apologies if this is already in the FAQ
and I missed it.  I'm curious if this is OS-specific or a product of the
server itself, and -- in either case -- if it's a problem or something
that can be safely disregarded.

I have reports that Netscape will use normal mode if it recieves and
error for PASV.  I will be testing this soon.

That patch doesn't work for me (the version I used).  It was suggested
that and hton?() may be needed for my intel machine.  I will be trying
that also as it looks like a likely solution to be behavior I saw.

Thanks!

That is what is referred to as a guest acccount.  Here is an example
passwd entry for a guest account:

norris:MrewJRqIUWg6Y:635:400:Norris:/home/ftp/./:/dev/null

The features are:

1)  a /dev/null shell that is listed in /etc/shells yet won't allow
login.

2) a home directory that ends in '/./' to give a chrooted environment
to where you want to restrict them.

3) On my machine group 400 is 'ftponly' and ftpaccess is setup to
recognize ftponly to be of type guest.

I'm not using this feature anymore so I am a little shaky on the
details, but that is the basics.

Cheers!
Ty

Hi

I seem to be havinng problems with the mailing list. I can see my
messages on the list, but I used to get my message sent back to me also,
but these days I just receive everyone else questions/answers. So I have
re-registered under aslightly diffrent ID.

As to my problem

well theres 3 actually.

1.) When users create several subdirs , and they upload to say

~/iqbal/a/b/c the c subdirectory there permissions are not those in the
ftpaccess file. This problem was solved by alexey who mentioned that the
code in wu-ftp Beta[13] had been altered (for some reason).

2.) The second problem ws with usersname longer than 8 chracters.
wu-2.6[6] worked fine with long usernames, but beta[13] refuses to
recognise these long usersnames, anyone got any ideas

3.) I have about 1500 hundred users in the ftpaccess file. However
certain ftp packages such as wsftp are having problems logging in,
because of the long wait in checking the username/password. I have used
the bigpasswd patch , which worked fine for a few months, but since then
my users have gone through the roof. I have been told that its
effeicient to just [place the numeric uid/gid in the ftpaccess file,
this speeds up the process, but i dont know how to get wu-ftpd to read
these instead of the actual user/group.

Does anyone have a fix for this out there, or have similar problems.

Iqbal

Hi everybody,

I am looking for a freeware able to provide different statistics about FTP use.
I found iisstat which is pretty good (ftp://ftp.ccmail.com/pub/utils/InternetSe
rvices/iisstat/iisstat.html) but since it is quite old (1995), I was wondering 
if there is any better one.
Moreover, with that program, I am able to generate a HTML output but in this 
one I have no link to the GIF graphs generated. Any idea about that problem ?

Thanks in advance for your help.			Gildas.

I'm not familiar with that particular program, but I've written one of my
own based on the old xferstats script.  It keeps the name xferstats, but
has been rewritten in C and generates HTML, a few graphs, etc.  It's
currently undergoing a massive semi-rewrite to increase the speed and
functionality, and as a result 1.20 won't be available for probably a
couple weeks.  In the meantime, 1.16 is available at:
ftp://sod.off.net/pub/xferstats/xferstats-1.16.tar.gz

If xferstats doesn't do quite what you want, please drop me a note, I'm
looking for ways to increase what it does :)

I had a look at this last days. Here is what I began to hack into wu-ftpd :

- I set up a special guestgroup, say "LDAP"

- During authentication, for any user who fails to be anonymous, member of a
guestgroup or UNIX user, I do a LDAP lookup.
If it works, then the user is treated as "LDAP".

- In the chroot phase of the guestgroup login, I chroot the user to his own
directory (ldap/user1, ldap/user2, etc) so that directory trees of the
different "LDAP" users are totally distinct. If the chrooted environment
doesn't exist, I create it for him on the fly (just before the chroot).

Any comments ?

Ok. Time for some clarifications...  First, this is what I wrote.

I wrote this out of frustration that the RFC2228 folks did not seem to be 
working with the FTPEXT folks, with the pace of FTPEXT (which seems to be 
picking up), with another currently publicly closed effort that is underway 
to develop new features for FTP that they plan on "releasing to the world
as an RFC" (their words not mine) and with the pace of new enhancements into 
wu-ftpd.

And before anyone gets the wrong idea here... I like Stan and I'm glad that
he stepped up and has contributed the work that he has.  We are all better
for it.  If you have any doubts about the sincerity of that, go look at the 
Resource Center.  Various pages have said the same thing for nearly a year. 
There has been no change in my view of him or his efforts (from which we have 
all benefited).

# features. The two goals work against each other with the way the current
# server is constructed.

We are all buzy and I know that you do this on your own time much like the
rest of us. Time is sometimes a very short commodity when we need to eat.
I understand that and so do the others.

The problem I see is by the very nature of what we are talking about we will
generate more bugs. :) That said, I don't see this impacting wu-ftpd at this 
point. What you are doing is in line with what I have in mind.

We are going to need to do some setup work before we are ready to start a 
real development effort.  To just get started we need to:

   * Review of the current code structure with suggestions as to its 
     reorganization to support module additions,

   * Document an API to allow easily added feature modules,

   * Examine of the feature set of emerging functionality to be added,

   * Determine which features should be developed in parallel or in sequence
     and in what general order,

   * Setup systems from a baseline, development and mirror perspective,

   * Setup administrative agreements as to how to decide what goes into
     the baseline and when it is ready to do so,

   * ...

A setup following the Apache model doesn't just happen overnight.  It will
take some time just to get to the point where we can begin to seriously 
look at changing a line of code.  This is what I was talking about when I
said we need to address this.  Without starting the setup work, the rest
just won't happen....

# It is my plan to work towards a release of 2.4.2 followed by an 
# autoconfiguration version of the same server which I will call 2.4.3. 

Don't slow any development down because of this.  The two should work
well in parallel.

# After that, I had planned to significantly change the server in many of the
# ways the apache team overhauled the NCSA server. At that point, I was going
# to suggest that a project like apache be organized to provide modules for
# that new server that might implement some of the features folks want. That 
# future (in my time line) was to start next year in the summer. 

I agree that this is the type of effort that we need but waiting until next 
summer just to start the setup and examination process seems a bit far out
when the only real changes you plan to make to the code are bug fixes and 
and automated configure/build setup.

#                                                                The first
# release was to be a new basic server that would be compliant with the FTPEXT
# documents and would have a new API through which folks to build modules to 
# hook in new features. 

This sounds like a good starting point to expand things.

#                       This server would not implement everything in wu-ftpd
# at the first release, but would build up features on a module-by-module
# basis. 

Ouch.  This is not what I'd like to see.  I would not want to field something
just to trade one set of functionality for a different set and then wait a 
year to get back to where I was 12 months before. The work of the FTPEXT 
should be be phased in over the subsequent months since there are different 
documents describing different extensions.  That's what I meant above by 
examine and prioritize new enhancements.  Personally, I doubt most current 
wu-ftpd sites would want to go backwards and they would not field the new 
server.  This would splinter the community even more.  What I and others want 
is what we have now plus the new capabilities.  Until we could do that I'd 
vote not to release it. (And you're right, the module approach is the best 
approach.)

#        At that point, my job would be to maintain the basic server and
# perhaps house a module repository (with appropriate mirror sites) and look
# to others to build and maintain modules. The biggest help to me in making
# that happen would be to define the API as well as the basic feature set for
# the basic server. 

I really don't care where the baseline is housed. I am looking at the process
and the results that are running on systems across the net. Foundation, 
Features and the Flexibility to implement them on a timely basis is what
we need to put in place. (My 3Fs. ;))

# For those of you who can't wait for those developments, I would suggest you
# organize a project to take the 2.4.2 beta 15 server and release something
# that might be called release 3.0 or might have an altogether different name. 

This is not going to happen correctly overnight.  This will take time to
setup; but we have to start now.  People willing to make a commitment to the
project have to be located.  The internal architecture of the server and
the API do not happen overnight, much less get documented.  These two efforts,
the current wu-ftpd and the foundation for ngwuftpd (next generation wu-ftpd)
need not be at odds with each other but can be in sync.

Problem compiling yacc errors on AIX 4.1.4 - wu-ftpd beta 13
Attempted to install GNU bison to resolve the yacc problem
However when running bison I recieve

0509-037 System error -error data is: bison
0509-022 Cannot load library libc.a[shr.o]
0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the pathname does not

I have linked yacc to bison - does anyone know what I am missing.

balancing his "real work" with his contributory efforts.

THANK YOU Stan.

'bison -y' is the functional equivalent to 'yacc'.  Is the -y missing?

ooof... I should have read more closely; too much mail.  You are
right, and short of rebuilding bison I don't know what to suggest.  I
use ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/ as the source for GNU files; I think
www.gnu.org is also up.

Sorry if this is covered in a FAQ, or in server documentation, but I
didn't see it; pointers are welcome.

Here's my situation.  I am trying to setup a system where only certain
groups have access to the Internet.  Right now, I have a BSDI 3.1 system,
(running wu-ftpd), that contains a kernel modification which blocks 
socket() and bind() calls to all but those in the "Internet" group.  This
works fine.  For example, a user not in the group can log in to the FTP
server, but are unable to do anything, (get, put, ls, etc.) while users in
the group can.  I am trying to port this to Linux, and am having problems.
Users logged on the system are blocked as expected, but if they use the
FTP server, (logged in under their account), they have full functionality.

In other words, I only want users in a certain group to be able to log in
to their account via FTP, (actually, I don't mind if they can log in, but
I want to block any FTP transfers).  Is there an easy way to implement
this in wu-ftpd, (i.e. so I don't have to modify configuration files
whenever a new user is added, or moved in or out of the "Internet" group)?

Thanks,
Karyl F. Stein

Hello,

I just set up wu-ftp for guest accounts and I have a couple of
questions about things.  One easy and one hard.  First the
easy one.

1. When a user creates a directory in a directory defined by
an upload directive in ftpaccess it seems to have open (user,
group) permissions.  How do I change that?  The permissions
defined in upload are for files only as far as I can tell.

Now that hard one which is somewhat related

2. If every "guest" has the same directory structure and I would
like different permissions (however same for each guest user)
on the files that are uploaded in the various directories do I have
to put a set of upload directives in the ftpaccess file for each user.
I seems to me it would be possible to have "aliases", but I cannot
find any documentation on it.  For example in ftpaccess can you
do something like this?

upload  <guest home> * no
upload  <guest home> /www yes <guest id> <guest group> 0600 dirs
upload  <guest home> /cgi-bin yes <guest id> <guest group> 0700 dirs

Where <guest home> is whatever it should be automatically depending
on which guest logged in.  Same with <guest id> <guest group>.
Right now I am defining those things manually for each and every
user!

We are trying to overcome permission/access rights with FTP accounts and
it was recommended that we move to wu-ftpd.  I have got the latest
version (Beta 15) and have set it up on our test server (RS/6000 running
AIX 3.2.5).

I am trying to setup the 'ftpaccess' file, but I seem to be having
difficulty understanding the relationships.

Has anyone got a live sample of this file or snippets of one which I
could look at so I can get some pointers ?

Thanks in anticipation....

Is there any security reason to not use /bin/passwd for a shell for a
chroot, guest user so they can change their password anytime they want?

here is the /etc/passwd entry that I'm talking about to be clear:

focus:123432:101:101:Focus Comics:/usr/ftpusers/focus/./:/bin/passwd

or am I opening myself up wide open?

Hi,

i apologize if this is in the FAQs somewhere (i could not find it)...

I use wu-ftpd-academ-2.4.2.13 under digital unix 4.0b and try to use
ftpconversions without success.

I have it in the same directory as ftphosts, ftpaccess and ftpusers
and with these latter i could play around successfully.

I have built a statically linked version of gzip and gnu-tar and put them
into ~ftp/bin, but whenever i login via ftp and try 'get <file>.gz' or
'get <file>.tar' the only answer i get is "<file>.gz" not found, no such
file or directory. This is true for ftp via anonymous and for ftp via a
normal userid...

What did i miss?

Thank you!

Bernt Christandl

Hello managers,

at last i've found the solution in the archives, more than a year ago...

My problem was to "allow" the programs to be used from ftpconversions
in an appropriate way within ftpaccess.
Some lines like

     tar        yes        local remote

See the mail of  Magali.Bernard@univ-st-etienne.fr (Magali BERNARD) 
with the subject Summary : wuftpd TAR+COMPRESS 
from Mon, 28 Oct 96 09:53:02 +0100

Thanks,

Bernt

What is specified in your ~PUBwu-ftpd/src/pathnames.h file ?

Check src/config.h and see what you have set as the FACILITY.  syslog()
will log to that facility.  By default it is set to LOG_DAEMON.

(Also make sure there are tabs separating the two columns in syslog.conf
file. Otherwise the entry will be silently ignored.)

Hello all. 

A question for anybody who has run Solaris 2.X with C2 security or the basic security module enabled. I am running a site right now with 2.4.2 beta-12 and it runs like a charm. In a couple of weeks, I have to turn on the basic security module. Will  there be any problems with the FTP server ?

Thanks in advance.

Anybody that's been there!

I have downloaded wu-ftpd V2.4 to run on my Sparc10 running Solaris 2.5. My
goal is to log file transfers via ftp on our Intranet (all inter-corporate
transfers). This is a test server setup before I try implementing on my
production server. The download code was already compiled for Solaris 2.5;
therefore, I did a "pkgadd" to install.

Where can I get basic setup information for this test server.

I would appreciate any help that will "kick start" me...Thanks...Ed Hayes

My problem with accidentially disabling PASV (not enough devices in /dev,
using Solaris) was a FTP-Proxy somewhere in Australia. They insisted on
PASV-transfers, if these were not possible this proxy didn't get anything.

Netscape was fine, after getting the error it continued without PASV.

FYI Ed - there's a CERT advisory for wu-ftpd 2.4 and they recommend that
you upgrade to the most recent version.  I haven't been able to find
the most recent version ala Solaris and it looks like you will have to
complie yourself.  I would read the advisory and see if it applies to
you.

Once again, I owe Kent a big "Thank You". Below are the steps that I took with
explanations.
(I am posting to the list rather than replying to those who e-mailed my
individually.)

I needed to:

1) Do a ./build clean from ~wuftpd_home_directory
2) Modify ~wuftpd_home_directory/src/config/config.sol from:
        #define FACILITY LOG_DAEMON
   to
        #define FACILITY LOG_LOCAL5
3) Do a ./build sol
4) Copy the newly generated ~wuftpd_home_directory/src/ftpd
   binary to /usr/sbin/in.ftpd, chown and chgrp to bin.bin.
5) Send a HUP signal to the inetd daemon (probably wasn't necessary)

As stated in the syslog.conf man pages, local0-7 are for local use.  We
picked local5 out of the air
since it was not assigned to any other function (FACILITY). We could have left
config.sol as it was
and change syslog.conf to be:
        daemon.debug            /var/adm/ftplog
but this would have logged information other than ftp stuff to
/var/adm/ftplog.

Note that in the config.sol file it has to be defined in CAPS, but in the
syslog.conf
file it has to be lower case.

Thanks again Kent, you've been a tremendous help.

Any ideas what might be happening here? Is there someplace I should start

Hello folks.

	I have ftpconversions and ftpaccess set up to allow for the
tarring and gzipping of files (this is the default, I believe).  However,
every time someone tries to get <foobar>.gz or <foobar>.tar they always
wind up with a zero-length file.  Has anyone else experienced this and/or
know the solution to this problem?  The version of wu-ftpd being run is
wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-15].  Thank you.

make sure you have a copy of gzip in ~ftp/bin

Ya I stuck a copy of gzip and tar in ~ftp/bin with mode 111.  This is why
I am rather confused.  ;)  Perhaps the sysntax in my ftpconversions file
is incorrect?  Maybe someone can send me a copy of ftpconversions that is
known to work???  Thanks.

OK, I just realized now that real ftp users can get <yadda>.gz and
<yadda>.tar files with no problem.  However, anonymous users cannot get
<yadda>.gz and <yadda>.tar files.  They always get zero-length files.  In
my ftpaccess file I have the lines:

	compress yes *
	tar yes *

Anyone know why anonymous users can't tar and gzip files on the fly with
wu-ftpd 2.4.2-[BETA 15]?  Thanks.

Thanks for the advice, but that didn't work either.  This one has really
got me stumped.  I tried reverting back to the default, distributed
configuration (default ftpaccess, etc), and the same deal: real users can
tar/gzip on the fly, but anonymous users cannot.  Perhaps this is a bug in
2.4.2 BETA-15?  If not, please let me know otherwise and the search will
continue for the solution.

It is not a bug in BETA-15. I use it and it works here.  Here is my production copy.

# =============================================================================
# CERT* Advisory CA-97.27
# Original issue date: Dec. 10, 1997
# Last revised: --
# 
# Topic: FTP Bounce
# - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 
# In some implementations of FTP daemons, the PORT command can be misused to
# open a connection to a port of the attacker's choosing on a machine that the
# attacker could not have accessed directly. There have been ongoing discussions
# about this problem (called "FTP bounce") for several years, and some vendors
# have developed solutions for this problem.
# 
# The CERT/CC staff urges you to install a comprehensive patch if one is
# available. Until then, we recommend the wu-ftpd package identified in Section
# III.B. as a workaround.
# 
# We will update this advisory as we receive additional information. Please
# check our advisory files regularly for updates that relate to your site.
# 
# - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 
# I.   Description
# 
#      In the past few years there have been ongoing discussions about a
#      problem known as "FTP bounce." In its simplest terms, the problem is
#      based on the misuse of the PORT command in the FTP protocol.
# 
#      To understand the FTP bounce attack, please see the tech tip at
# 
#         ftp://ftp.cert.org/pub/tech_tips/FTP_PORT_attacks
# 
#      The core component of the problem is that by using the PORT command in
#      active FTP mode, an attacker may be able to establish connections to
#      arbitrary ports on machines other than the originating client. This
#      behavior is RFC compliant, but it is also potentially a source of
#      security problems for some sites. The example attacks described in the
#      tech tip demonstrate the potential of this vulnerability.
# 
# II.  Impact
# 
#      An attacker may be able to establish a connection between the FTP server
#      machine and an arbitrary port on another system. This connection may be
#      used to bypass access controls that would otherwise apply.
# 
# III. Solution
# 
#      Because the core element of the attack (the FTP server can establish
#      connections to arbitrary machines and arbitrary ports) is also a required
#      component for RFC compliance, there is no clear-cut solution. With this
#      in mind, we urge you to carefully consider the type of service that your
#      site offers.
# 
#      The best solution solely from a security perspective is to ensure that
#      your FTP server software cannot establish connections to arbitrary
#      machines. However, sites that rely on the RFC-compliant behavior may
#      find that implementing this solution will affect applications that they
#      use. (We have not received any first-hand reports of such cases.)
#      Consequently, many vendors offer solutions that allow sites offering the
#      FTP service to make the choice that best suits them. You should check to
#      see what type of behavior your vendor's FTP daemon adopts (Section A).
# 
#      If you wish to implement an FTP service that does not allow this attack
#      and your vendor does not offer a daemon with this functionality, consider
#      using the wu-ftpd package described in Section B. Other steps you can
#      take are described in Section C.
# 
#      A.  Vendor Information
# 
#          It is our experience that vendor implementations fall into one of
#          these groups:
# 
#          (1) strict conformance with RFC functionality: The PORT command
#              may be used to connect directly to a third-party machine, and
#              this is the only functionality allowed. Some vendors who
#              choose to maintain strict conformance have addressed this
#              problem by modifying all other network services to reject
#              connections originating from the FTP data port (port 20).
# 
#          (2) strict suppression of the PORT command: The PORT command may
#              be used to connect to the originating client, and this is the
#              only functionality allowed.
# 
#          (3) variable PORT command behavior: The PORT command may be used
#              in either of the above two ways, with one way being the
#              default. Switching between them is usually achieved with a
#              command line parameter. You should be careful to verify which
#              is the default.
# 
#          Appendix A contains a list of vendors who have provided
#          information about this problem. We will update the appendix as we
#          receive more information. If you do not see your vendor's name,
#          the CERT/CC did not hear from that vendor. Please contact your
#          vendor directly.
# 
# 
#      B.  Use the wu-ftpd package as a workaround.
# 
#          The wu-ftpd package addresses the FTP bounce problem by ensuring that
#          the PORT command cannot be used to establish connections to machines
#          other than the originating client. Please read the wu-ftpd README
#          file "FIXES-2.4-HOBBIT" before installing the package.
# 
#          The latest version of wu-ftpd, which we recommend, is available from
# 
#            ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-15.tar.Z

#          If you use a previous version (whether a beta version or full
#          release), do not assume that your site is immune from these problems
#          or other problems discussed in previous advisories.
# 
#      C.  FTP Configuration
# 
#          Some attacks rely on an intermediate file being uploaded to one or
#          more server machines via (usually anonymous) FTP. This file is
#          used in a later phase of the attack.
# 
#          Your site should offer anonymous upload facilities only if it is
#          absolutely necessary. Even then, you must carefully configure the
#          incoming area. For further details, see "Anonymous FTP Configuration
#          Guidelines" at
# 
#            ftp://ftp.cert.org/pub/tech_tips/anonymous_ftp_config
# 
#          Note that these steps only repel attacks that rely on intermediate
#          uploads. The steps are not effective against other attacks.
# 
#          If your site allows file uploads, we urge your to ensure that the
#          FTP service restricts the PORT command so that it can only be used
#          to connect to the originating client.

# 
# IBM Corporation
# - ---------------
# 
#    All AIX ftp servers are vulnerable to the FTP bounce attack. The
#    following fixes are in progress:
# 
#      AIX 3.2:  upgrade to v4
#      AIX 4.1:  IX73075
#      AIX 4.2:  IX73076
#      AIX 4.3:  IX73077
# 
#    To Order
#    --------
#     APARs may be ordered using Electronic Fix Distribution (via FixDist)
#     or from the IBM Support Center. For more information on FixDist,
#     reference URL:
# 
#        http://service.software.ibm.com/aixsupport/
# 
#     or send e-mail to aixserv@austin.ibm.com with a subject of "FixDist".
# 
# 
# MadGoat
# - -------
# 
#    This problem is fixed in MGFTP V2.2-2, which was released several months
#    ago. That version restricts the port numbers to ports above 1024.
#    However, it does not block access to third-party machines. V2.2-4,
#    scheduled for release next week, will do that as well.
# 
# 
# Microsoft Corporation
# - ---------------------
# 
#    We prevent this attack by disallowing "third party" transfers. This is
#    done via a modification to our implementation of the PORT command. When
#    the FTP server receives a PORT command, the specified IP address *must*
#    match the client's source IP address for the control channel.
# 
#    In other words, then the client sends a PORT command to the FTP server,
#    giving the server an IP address & port number to connect back to the
#    client for the data transfer, the IP address *must* be the client's
#    original IP address.
# 
#    We have one other fix in which we disallow the PORT command from
#    specifying reserved ports (those less than 1024) except port 20 (the
#    default data port). By default, any client attempt to issue a port
#    command with (port < 1024 && port != 20) will cause the PORT command to
#    fail. This check can be disabled setting the EnablePortAttack registry
#    value.
# 
# 
# NCR Corporation
# - ---------------
# 
#    NCR is delivering a set of operating system dependent patches which
#    contain an update for this problem. Accompanying each patch is a
#    README file which discusses the general purpose of the patch and
#    describes how to apply it to your system.
# 
#    Recommended solution: Apply one of the following patches depending on
#    the revision of the inet package installed on your system. To check its
#    version execute:
# 
#         pkginfo -x inet
# 
#    For inet 5.01.xx.xx: - PINET501 (Version later than 05.01.01.62)
#    For inet 6.01.xx..xx: - PINET601 (Version later than 06.01.00.22)
#    For inet 6.02.xx.xx: - PINET602 (Version later than 06.02.00.03)
# 
#    After installation of the respective patch, the default behavior will be
#    to protect from this vulnerability.. A new ftpd man-page describe how to
#    enable the old RFC compliant behavior.
# 
# 
# The NetBSD Project
# - ------------------
# 
#    There are no patches for NetBSD 1.2.1 or prior, however the ftpd
#    sources available from:
#            ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/libexec/ftpd
#    should work on a NetBSD 1.2.1 machine.
# 
# 
# The OpenBSD project
# - -------------------
# 
#    FTP bounce can be fixed in the operating system by fixing all vulnerable
#    services by checking for connections from port 20. Since this has been
#    done in OpenBSD, OpenBSD is not vulnerable and does NOT NEED the
#    variable port command. The solution applies since OpenBSD 2.1 (ie. it
#    applies for both 2.1 and for 2.2).
# 
# 
# Red Hat Software
# - ----------------
# 
#    We ship wu-ftpd, so this isn't a problem for us.
# 
# 
# The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc.
# - ------------------------------
# 
#    SCO has determined that the following Operating systems are vulnerable
#    to the ftp-bounce attack :-
# 
#            OpenServer 5.0.4
#            UnixWare   2.1
#            ODT        3.0
#            CMW+
# 
#    We are currently working on a fix to this problem.
# 
# 
# Siemens-Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG
# - --------------------------------------
# 
#    ReliantUNIX is vulnerable.
#    The problem has been corrected in the current sources.
#    Patches will be developed (as necessary) and made available via your
#    Siemens-Nixdorf customers service.
# 
# 
# Sun Microsystems, Inc.
# - ----------------------
# 
#    Sun's FTP server software in SunOS 4.1.x and 5.x allow PORT requests
#    to make data connections to arbitrary hosts. Prior to SunOS 2.6, Sun's
#    FTP server software also allows data connections to arbitrary ports.
# 
#    In SunOS 2.6, the FTP server software does not accept PORT requests to make
#    data connections to well-known (privileged) ports. Sun has also released
#    the following patches that prevent Sun's FTP server software from accepting
#    PORT requests to make data connections to well-known ports for the
#    following SunOS releases:
# 
#         103603-05 SunOS 5.5.1
#         103604-05 SunOS 5.5.1_x86
#         103577-06 SunOS 5.5
#         103578-06 SunOS 5.5_x86
#         101945-51 SunOS 5.4
#         101946-45 SunOS 5.4_x86
#         104938-01 SunOS 5.3
#         104477-03 SunOS 4.1.4
#         104454-03 SunOS 4.1.3_U1
# 
#    Sun recommends that sites that do not require their FTP server make
#    connections to arbitrary hosts consider using wu-ftpd as a workaround.

You do have the tar and gzip programs installed in the ~ftp/bin
directory as well as in your normal system directory, right?

Anonymous users are chrooted into ~ftp.  So those programs must reside
in the ~ftp/bin dir.

We have had a few questions concerning logging the last couple days.
Since I didn't see anything that explained logging, I took some time
tonight and hacked together a page.  For those who are interested the
page is

	http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/logging.html

and is also available from the Related Documents page on the Resource 
Center.  This was a quick hack just to get the information in one place.
If there are things that are missing and should be there please let
me know.  Thanks.

What operating system are you running (I forgot if you mentioned it)?  We are
running Solaris 2.5.  I once had this problem and it stumped me for a while.
The solution was that a recent change in gnu tar required that I needed to add
yet another shared library to usr/lib in the chrooted area.  I think it might
have been libintl.so.  If you use the regular system tar (/usr/sbin/tar) it
also requires libintl.so.  You should try running
"chroot your_anon_area  command_which_fails" and see what if any error messages
you get.

Hello,

Could someone tell me if beta 13 is vulnerable to this attack?

Thanks,

OK, this problem stil hasn't been solved.  It's a stumper, for sure.

I tried many tricks to get it to work, but on-the-fly tar/gzip still does
not work for anonymous users.  It only works for real users.  I even tried
Kent Landfield's ftpconversions (thank you) but that didn't work either.
*sigh*

~ftp/bin/ has all the archiving utilities, from compress to zip.  All
programs are mode 111 (as suggested by the man page).  Why the server
treats anonymous users differently than real users when it comes to
compression is beyond me.

Attached is my ftpaccess setup.  It's a little funky; it is only set up
for real users and anonymous users because I didn't see the need for
guests.  The operating system in question is Linux (Slackware 3.4) -- some
wise guys out there would probably say that this is where the problem is.
;)  Indeed, this may be true.  Also, feel free to explore the ftp server.
The address is eh1a2.poly.edu.  There isn't anything exciting (just some
Linux stuff), but if you see anything that doesn't look right, please let
me know.

Thanks for the help on this subject.  Please send any personal replies to
qp@mindless.com because the sendmail daemon at this address is wrapped and
mail sent here will be bounced.

Keith Warno

PS -- Out of curiosity, I tried this on-the-fly compression stuff on an
older Linux box running wu-ftpd 2.4.  The owner and I couldn't get the
damn thing to work for anonymous users there either.  ;(

Keith,

maybe you have another problem? If i try to sent you my mail directly,
it bounces with "Returned mail: Remote protocol error"...

so i write to the list and apologize for wasting the bandwidth:

Your problem is exactly what i had yesterday...
and i now have a running constellation, but i don't understand why...

1.  i think you have und ~ftp/bin anything you need? Either a statically
    linked version of gnu-tar and gzip  or with the appropriate libraries
    und ~ftp/lib?

2.  i've found the same problem asked and answered in a list for digital
    unix problems - about a year ago...

    There the solution was a different syntax within ftpconversions.

3.  what i have learned yesterday was that ftpaccess and ftpconversions
    have big influence onto each other, at least a "good" ftpaccess is
    necessary for a ftpconversions to be evaluated at all.

4.  then i believe (that's not yet verified) that a "wrong" line in 
    ftpconversions diables all following maybe "good" lines...

5.  So here comes, what is working for me now:

    - a static gnu-tar (1.12) and gzip (1.2.4) - both build with "gcc -static"
      in ~ftp/bin

    - ftpaccess including the lines:

      class   remote  real,guest,anonymous *
      compress        yes             local remote
      gzip            yes             local remote
      tar             yes             local remote

      and i have no idea, whether the "gzip" is useful or not...

    - and at last my ftpconversions:

 :.gz: :   :/bin/gzip -cd %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:GUNZIP
 :.z:  :   :/bin/gzip -cd %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:GUNZIP
 :.Z:  :   :/bin/gzip -cd %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:GUNZIP
 :   :  :.Z:/bin/compress -c      %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:COMPRESS
 :   :  :.gz:/bin/gzip -9 -c      %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:GZIP
 :   :   :.z:/bin/gzip -9 -c      %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:GZIP
 :   : :.tar:/bin/gtar    -c -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_TAR:TAR
 :   : :.tar.gz:/bin/gtar -c --use-compress-program=/bin/gzip -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+GZIP
 :   : :.tgz:/bin/gtar -c --use-compress-program=/bin/gzip -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+GZIP


      in the past (on my ultrix server) i had the -z switch used ,
      but had to replace that with --use...  (is this a question of
      $PATH?)

Yesterday in the evening when i left, i thought, i had tested all cases
successfully. (Local and remote users..., gzip, tar, tar+gzip, ...)

I hope you can solve your problem with these hints.

With regards,

Bernt

 Do you use statically linked progs or dynamically ?
In the latter case You'd need to put the required libraries into the
anonymous ftp area, too.

Hello,

i 've succeded to use ftpconversions for (g)zipping and/or (gnu)tarring
files and directories (digital unix 4.0b and wu-ftpd-academ-2.4.2.13).

Now i would like to use it as something like a "rename"-filter, that is,
we have (for very old reasons) files that are gzipped with the ending "-gz"
instead of ".gz" We want to rename/move these to the ending ".gz" but still
allow ftp-users to use their old scripts that look for "-gz"...

Or in short: what should i enter in ftpconversions, that a "get file-gz"
results in a "get file.gz" without trying to use gzip for that transfer?

Also i would like to have some more informations on ftpconversions at all.
The manpage says that in fields 6 and 7 i can/should enter types and options,
but which are allowed types and options?

TIA,

Bernt Christandl

I have tried to run ftpshut on AIX 4.1.5.
It will put out the shutmsg and tell users the ftp server is down, however
when I do a lssrc -t ftp - the system tells me it is up.
If I delete the shutmsg I can ftp in again.
Any thoughts ?

Well, being I am running a Linux box where almost everything is
dynamically linked, chances are that is what the problem is and why
anonymous tar/gzip doesn't work.  Thanks to all the folks who suggested
it; I would have never thought of it.

I'll post again next week once I get the sources to the programs.  Thanks
again.

It sounds like it is using /usr/sbin/install rather than the correct
/usr/ucb/install.  Looking at my source: wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-15 does this
correctly (i.e. I didn't have to hack on the makefiles in this case).  What
version are you trying to compile?

I have put the programs in ~ftp/bin/ftp-exec/ and linked them from there to
~ftp/bin. AFAIK some stuff needs to be in the ftp-exec directory. Could be
OS-dependent since it's been over a year that I needed to figure this out :)

Yup, it was dynamically linked BS that caused tar/gzip to fail for
anonymous users.  How lame.  Anyway, glad this problem has been solved.
Thanks for all the help.

I just figured this out.

It turns out that under AIX 4.2.1 off_t is typedefed to long long.

On line 1925 of ftpd.c:

   sprintf(msg, "%.24s %d %s %d ",

becomes

   sprintf(msg, "%.24s %d %s %lld ",

and it will log file sizes for the transfers again.

This will probably break on other systems so there might have be a new
makefile for AIX4.

Hi,

Someone internally is insisting that there's no reason to move from
2.4.2-beta12 unless there was a CERT advisory.  I laughed.  But wondered if
someone had a brief summary of the bugs enountered since then so I can
point this out.

Thanks.

In the past month or so there have been people talking about; and at least
one patch that I can find that 'fixes' the problems of wu-ftpds that hang
in uploading files...  Are there any plans to incorporate this feature into
the core wu-ftpd?

System: Linux 133MHx Pentium, 160 MB RAM
        Slackware 3.2 (kernel 2.0.29)
        wu-ftpd Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-15]
        GNU tar 1.12
        GNU gzip 1.2.4

The problem I'm encountering existed with the orginal Slackware
installation (wu-ftpd 2.4, tar 1.11.8, gzip ?), so it's a longstanding
problem.

The problem is that a few large (>100MB) transfers across the Internet are
truncated at the very end, with no error message. The tar files are
blocked at 10k, its default, and the amount that is dropped seems to be
consistently 28,672 bytes, which is 30k - 2k.  That number seems
significant, although I don't know why.

The problem occurs only (so far as I know) when using both the tar and
gzip options, i.e. I do a "get  dirname.tar.gz". Also, it only occurs
when I'm sending the data across the relatively slow Internet - i.e.
at about 100Kbytes/sec or less. If I do the same get from another machine
on the Linux machine's local net, there's no problem.

If I create the *.tar.gz file on the remote system and then ftp that,
there is again no problem.  

The error is not 100% consistent, in that, with repeated attempts,
a particular directory usually, but not always, fails to transfer 
correctly. Other directories seem to always transfer ok.

So, it seems like there's some sort of buffer flushing problem, what with
the ftpd process calling the tar, which calls gzip, etc., but my quick
look at the various routines certainly shows nothing obvious. Any ideas or
solutions would be appreciated.

I administrate about 20 unix systems, most running solaris. Whenever I 
setup a new machine, I usually just copy over the wu-ftpd binaries and 
configuration files, and everything works fine. Until we got this one 
machine.

I copied over all of the files like I usually do, but on this machine, 
when I went to ftp in to test it, as soon as I type in my username, my 
ftp client gives me 421 Service not available, remote server has closed 
connection.

I checked /etc/shells and everything was in order there. My shell matched 
a shell in there. I checked all of the config files, and everything 
appeared to be in order. I then downloaded the source code for wu-ftpd 
from wuarchive, compiled and installed it. Same thing. 

After reading through several faq's and faq's on wu-ftp with solaris, I 
made necessary changes to inetd.conf and syslog.conf and turned on 
debugging. The syslog tells me:
ftpd[14241]: exiting on signal 11

and nothing else. I tried telnetting into the server on the ftp port. It 
connects and gives me the ftp welcome thing. I type:
user jesse
and the telnet connection is immediately closed with no error messages. 

I tried ftp'ing in as anonymous ftp, and this lets me in fine. I set up 
this server exactly the same as all of the other servers. There is 
physicaly no difference in the ftp setup. The config files are identical 
to other working systems. The operating system and architecture are also 
the same as other servers. If anyone can offer some advice on how I can 
fix this, please do!

Thanks.

Is this machine also running solaris? Which version? On which version
was it compiled? 

Signal 11 is a segmentation fault. If you get this randomly on software 
that usually runs without a tweak, it may be some hardware problem.
E.g. if on linux a recompile of the kernel crashes with signal 11 at random
stages, it's usually some flaky memory.

Dear users of wu-ftpd,

I have recently joined this list and am in need of some help.

We have a Linux system running Slackware 3.1 (kernel 2.0.27) and wu-ftpd
(the wu.ftpd file date is Dec 5/1995).  Recently we have needed to
switch to a new service provider where we have a 128K ISDN decicated
connection.  With our previous ISP we did not experience any (known)
trouble with ftp uploading, yet now we have a situation where once an
upload is begun, the server will begin to receive the file at a good
transfer rate, but slowly as the transfer continues the transfer rate
will decrease and eventually the user's ftp client will either appear to
hang or quit processing the upload.  Downloading operates just fine. 
The maount of the file that is actually completed seems to be just
relative to the speed of their connection -- in speaking with our ISP
they could transfer files up to about 1MB before the halt ocurred, but
with my 28.8 dialup connection I can get about 250K uploaded.

I have discussed this with the ISP for some time, but since there are no
other connection troubles and the connection appears to be solid and
clean, it was recommended that I look into whether this is a problem
with the FTP server software.

Is there anyone on this list who can shed any light on the issue. As a
novice system administrator I would appreciate any feedback that any of
you can offer.

Sincerely,

Hello-
	I want to upgrade my wu-ftpd, but am running into some problems.
	I am trying to install 2.4.2 beta 15 on a Linux 2.1.69 machine with gcc 2.7.2p and new versions of most everything else.
	Everything except the ftpd executable itself compiles fine using the linux makefile. Gcc errors out:

->ftpd.c: In function 'main':
->ftpd.c:526: incompatible types in assignment

	If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate hearing them.  According to the installation notes, the linux makefile was tested on 1.3.99, so there's quite a difference in not just the kernel but most of the software...

	Thank you!

Hi!

I have successfully set up a guest account on a Linux system running the
"ordinary" "/etc/password" scheme. I found this reasonably
stright-forward thanks to the instructions given in Michael Brennen's
HOWTO. 

I am now trying to do (copy) the same thing on my test computer, running
Linux Slackware 3.4 and wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-15](1). This computer is
using the "/etc/shadow" scheme. The problem is that "chroot" appearently
no longer works. After a successful guest logon, the current directory
is identical to what is set up in "/etc/password", BUT: I am able to to
a "cd .." and get access to the level above where the guest should be
"chroot-ed" to.

Is this a known problem, or have I done something wrong (in spite of
careful (re)reading and stepping through the HOWTO... :-) ?

Regards

- Per Arne Enstad

Dear wuftp-Experts,

I configured wuftp only for guest accounts.
Now I need a way to restrict certain accounts to connect only via
our internal proxy. 
Access from external hosts are not allowed.

A solution could have been autogroup, but this works only for
anon access.

Thanx in advance for any help

Andreas

This should be a very simple question for the list.

I want to build an ftpd (wu-ftpd) in my home directory and then run 
it (no response to SIGHUP or at least write a handler for it, if none 
exists) and have it listen at a nonprivileged port.

(1) can this be done easily from the current build script/makefiles?

(2) is it possible to run a personal daemon and get (or hope?) the 
inetd-like super server passes the connection on to whoever is 
listening?

Thanks in advance for any/all replies.

------------
This message part that follows below is irrelevant to the purpose of 
the message, but may be of interest to those who want to know why I 
would want to run my own ftp server as a regular user.

Why is this being done or necessary?

(1) I am not root.  The administrator of the system--an NCR 3555 
running SVR4 (with BSD and Xenix "compatibility libraries")--has his 
own setup (a 'tlid' written by Wollagong [sp?]) and this forks to 
servers also provided by the software group.  The ftp transfer halts 
in the middle for reasons those of us here at the company who can at 
least read an RFC have no explanation for.  It seems to depend on the 
time of day.  I should say that what appears to be a halt in the 
system is in truth an interminable slowness:  if the timeout on the 
client is set long enough, you can see that some bytes have been 
transferred if you walk away and come back in 5 minutes.  At other 
times however, it just sits there usually until the timeout is 
exceeded (either the server's or the client's?).  The client is 
invariably a popular application (WS-FTP) running on a popular 
operating environment (win95), and has always proved reliable in the 
past.

(2) The sys admin is a know-nothing backslider who loves power 
struggles, and right now I don't want to engage struggle through the 
usual channels, although I know I would prevail in the end  (things 
don't really work here like they do in businesses that don't have 
time for and whose management can cut through the BS).  If there is a 
more rapid workaround, better to go that way.

For those interested in helping us to determine the cause for the 
halted ftp transfers (we certainly are interested and have a few 
theories), you might want to know a few more details than I have 
given here.

# Are we covered with beta13 for this CERT? CERT Advisory CA-97.27 -

Yes, the "fix" for this was introduce very early in the betas.
It was done by "Hobbit".

beta-{15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8} have the "fix"
and maybe even earlier beta versions.

See FIXES-2.4-HOBBIT for a good discussion on the behaviour of
wu-ftpd concerning PORT.

The "fix" doesn't cover the PASV deficientcies.

I must point out that this is not a "bug" in wu-ftpd. The FTP RFC
allowed this behaviour to permits some sort of proxy ftp.
Now the use of this behaviour to SPAM/SCAN is unfortunate.
But that does not allow root on the server.

I am kind of perplex to see CERT reacted 3 years to late, with a 
useless advisory. Althought it has the nice side effects
of forcing sys. adm. to upgrade there old wu-ftpd and
at the same time "FIX" some real bugs :-).

Bonjour

:  looked through the wu code a few months ago.. with plans to thread it.
: After spending a couple hours, it became apparent that it would be easier
: to start from scratch.

The way the code is done with seteuid () bouncing on and off and
sigjumps, yes indeed, very hard.

: Especially if you want to maintain regular unix
...
: machine is decent.... In the end i had to end up writing my own.

concurent programming or OO are other styles of programming.
Doing this in any old C code, you'll need to rewrite
major parts.

The big problem whith Thread is that it doesn't scale
well, on a major site whith +700 connections, threads would
collapse.

: 
: Besides, doing the security on it for regular user type logins wouldnt be
: trivial... compared to chroot() anyway. Even though its per process, and
: its not perfect.. its alot easier then keeping that state info.
: 

I don't see why Thread FTP should not use chroot () ?
And the same goes if you use Async I/O (NON_BLOCKING)
with select () or poll ().

Of course doing chroot add a very nice level of security.

Can you chroot() just a single thread?  That is the limitation.  The
chroot() would take affect for the entire process--it would suck if
all of a sudden only the first person to connect could do anything
at all. :(

Hello:

I am interested in modifying WU-FTP to use a database system (Oracle)
for username/password authentication rather than the passwd/group files.

In looking at the source it doesn't seem all that difficult, but I was
wondering if anyone else has done this, and if there are any subtle
problems we could expect.

If anyone has already done this, I would also appreciate any code
snippets someone was willing to offer. 

  Thanks in advance,

      Rich

Bonjour M. Michael Douglass

right, threads share the same address space.

> The chroot() would take affect for the entire process--it would suck if

I see you were talking about a _stand alone_ ftpd, I was not.

For a purely anonymous ftpd I can see this scheme:

	socket ();
	bind ();
	listen ();
	chdir ()/chroot ();
	while (1)
	{
		accept ();
		thread_create ();
	}

Of course the problem like you pointed is if you have a stand alone ftpd
the chroot () will affect the parent unless you fork (). But if
you have a non-forking or a threaded server, you want to avoid forking, right ?

IMO, For stand_alone servers using, non_forking or threads, the chroot ()
is close to useless or the code will be unacceptably complex.

of course 0.02 $ (with Canadian devaluation :)

Bonjour

  I've posted this a few years (?) back on this list. Fortunately
I was able to retrieve it from the archives. Maybe it can help
having a better grasp at the FTP bounce problem.

Unfortunately I'm not on the list, traffic is too high.
Please Cc the followups... if any.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Port
The FTP protocol opens a new port for retreiving/sending data.
The negotiation of the number of the port is done via the PORT command.

Taken from the rfc959.
 ###########################################
 DATA PORT (PORT)

  The argument is a HOST-PORT specification for the data port
  to be used in data connection.  There are defaults for both
  the user and server data ports, and under normal
  circumstances this command and its reply are not needed.  If
  this command is used, the argument is the concatenation of a
  32-bit internet host address and a 16-bit TCP port address.
  This address information is broken into 8-bit fields and the
  value of each field is transmitted as a decimal number (in
  character string representation).  The fields are separated
  by commas.  A port command would be:

     PORT h1,h2,h3,h4,p1,p2

  where h1 is the high order 8 bits of the internet host
  address.
 ###########################################

When data is to be transfer between a client and a server. The client
can specify to which port it wants the data to arrive. The client then
listen to the port number specify in the PORT command. The server makes an
active open to that port and sends the data.

Like we discuss before the host specify in the argument portion of the PORT
doesn't have to be the same IP as the client, hence open the door to
all sort of abuse. The easiest example that comes to mind is fake email.

  .....
 STOR smtp_file
 PORT a,b,c,d,0,25  # a,b,c,d --> a.b.c.d --> victim_ip
 RETR smtp_file

This sends an untracable mail to victim_ip. The logs on victim_ip will
always show that the connection was made by the FTP server. It's a good
way to pass thru firewalls.

Yes.. the whole reason i wrote my own was because with > 2k concurrent
sessions (not even dataxfers) the machine (an ultra 2 with 2 cpus 256mb
ram and 1GB swap) would croak. Because each session == 1 process with
fork().

Yupe.. i had to code in my own directory security. ie; since i have state
info for all connections i can keep their current directory, or what their
'root' directory should be. then rewrite it accordingly.. kinda like a web
server..

Also, a message before noted that with thread() and > around 700 sessions
would also kill the machine.. but thats assuming that you thread() the
accept and the whole session.. i went with a different algorithm. So that
X threads may do X sessions OR downloads.. since the only major blocking
is the sending/receiveing of the file.

I have an HPUX 9.04 that is showing an ftp process on a particular port
(38490) that the server keeps trying to re-open. I am running WU-FTP
2.4.2b15. Has anyone else encountered this problem and have they found a
solution short of a power cycle?

Subject: using the command dir in anonymous ftp
MIME-Version: 1.0

I have installed the wu-ftpd -2.4.2- beta15 within a Solaris2.6
environment. When I use ftp as a real user everything works as
expected. But when I use the anonymous login
the command
dir
does produce no output.

I have compared with other sites which run wu-ftpd successfully
and where 'dir' works in the anonymous ftp, to see if I had omitted
necessary shared libraries. But that seems not to be the case.

Does anybody know, what I could be doing wrong, because I have run
out of ideas?

Thanks.

I'd like to create a virtual ftp server on a CNAME'd host
due to my limited supply of IP's.  Is this possible.  I'd
like to do what's allowed in virtual httpd serving.

It isn't possible because the ftp protocol doesn't transmit hostnames, but
I like the idea... Maybe it's time to make an addition to the ftp RFCs.

It would be nice.  Basically it's to the point with httpd
that you only need one IP to do everything you could possible
want (apache).  Some user would like virtual ftp's and since 
I'm limited in IP space (which is taken up by machines), I'm 
unable to this.

Thanks!

While it would be nice, it is not possible. Virtual FTP servers take
the address information directly from the connection itself.  In other
words, the ftp server determines which virtual server to use  based
on the IP address to where the connection is made.  httpd has the
benefit of being able to read the URL supplied after the connection
is made. It can check if the hostname in the URL requested matches 
one of the configured virtual hosts and then respond accordingly.
The FTP protocol has no capability at present to pass that type of
information on initial connection.

While this has been discussed as a valuable need at present there are
serious problems due to the installed base of ftp client software. Any
changes to the protocol will need to be backward compatible.  This
basically puts you right back in the same boat that if you want virtual
hosted domains/sites you will need to assign IP addresses. 

Maybe IPV6 will be our saviour... :) yeah right... ;)

Or a hybrid?  Keep a pool of forked processes for each chroot(), then
create a new thread in the appropriate fork for each session.  The forked
processes would have to be expired at some point (time or number of
connections) to keep them clean and keep the number processes down.  

This way we limit the number of processes (only one per chroot).  And if
the number of threads in a process goes above a limit, then we create an
new process for the same chroot.

(Am I making sense?)

Example:
Start: main process for accept
Connection for 'fil': create PID 123=>'/', create thread in PID 123
Connection for 'anonymous': create PID 124=>'/home/ftp', create     thread
in PID 124
Connection for 'billy' (guest): create PID 1002=>'home/billy', create
thread in PID 1002
Connection for 'anonymous': create thread in PID 124
'fil' closed, keep PID 123
'billy' closed, expire process PID 1002
'anonymous' closed, keep PID 124

Or as psuedo-code:

while(1)
{
     S=accept();
     login=get_login_info(S)
     root=find_root(login);
     process=get_process(root);
     if(not process)
         process=create_process(root);
     create_thread(process, S, login);
}

get_process(root)
{
    for each PID in (process_list)
        if(PID->root == root and PID->usable)
            return PID;
    return NULL;
}

create_process(root)
{
    if(pid=fork)
    {
         add pid to process_list;
         return pid;
    } else
    { 
        chroot(root);   
        while(1)
        {
            wait4connection();
            split_thread();/* this reduces thread count when done */
            if(connection++>MAX_CONNECTION)
                exit(0);
        }        	
    }
}

create_thread(PID, connection, login)
{
    PID->threads++;
    jump_to_process();
    if(PID->threads > MAX_THREADS)
        PID->usable=0;
}

(Note: I'm glossing over the difficulties of inter-process and inter-thread
communication and the reaping of child processes.)

Subject: Guest FTP In Solaris 2.5x--AAAARGGH!
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.0 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN


After succesfully setting up guest FTP under RedHat Linux without a hitch,
I've taken a shot at doing the same thing under Solaris 2.5.1 running on
a Ultrasparc, But--

Despite painstakingly compiling up a statically linked version of 'ls',
creating all the required directories, copying all the required libraries
(listed on David Chapman's very helpful Wuftp-Solaris Page), trussing ls,
and ldd'ing all the library files, I'm *still* getting the dreaded error
message when attempting to ls: 

"425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number."

If I test my statically linked ls inside of a chroot, it works flawlessly;
if I log in with a guest account, I get the error message.

I'm basically at a brick wall here, and would *greatly* appreciate any
suggestions...

TIA,

--Duncan

The first problem is that you should read the FAQ before you post ..
this problem have apeared a few times ..
The second problem is that wuftpd overwrites the ftpd man page (it should
be fixed in the latest beta(s) or so) ..

The manpage is great to read because it say how you set it up on Solaris
..

To the specific problem ..

You need the ~guest/dev directory and more specific:
 /dev/zero  /dev/tcp  /dev/udp  /dev/ticotsord 
(created with mknod and chmodded to 666)
(read it as ~guest/dev/zero and so on)

in your case I would suspect that at least ~guest/dev/tcp is missing ...

Just wanted to pass along my thanks for the timely and constructive
responses I got just now. 

It turned out that I had the necessary stuff in ~ftp/dev, but that it
hadn't been mknod'ed properly--now rectified. I had misunderstood part of
the instructions on the Solaris/WuFTP page. 

Again, my thanks to everyone who responded...

  To be nitpickingly precise, the HTTP client uses the HTTP 'host'
command to tell the server that it expects to use the virtual server
associated with that domain name. This was one of the changes required
in the HTTP protocol to support virtual WWW-servers.

  It could easily be added, just as WU-FTP supports a number of non RFC959
commands. One possibility would be to use:

	XHOST domain-name

once per session, and sufficiently early in the session. It requires
that FTP clients are changed to send an XHOST-command just before user
authentication, assuming passwords may be managed per virtual domain. This
modification is trivial for clients where the source code is available.

  There are no apparent drawbacks - old clients still work with 
XHOST-servers, and new clients can use the command status to decide
if XHOST is supported at the server end or not. If it isn't, the best
course of action is probably to ignore the error message -- that would
make the FTP session look exactly the same as an non-XHOSTed FTP session
with the same CNAMED host.

  Another possibility is to check if the hostname is a CNAME. If so,
use XHOST. If not, don't, as there can be no virtual domains there.
I don't see this is  major improvement, but it might help making error
messages at the client end more detailed.

  Using 'SITE HOST domain' instead of XHOST is another possibility,
and somewhat neater, as SITE is in RFC 959.

  The only problem seem to get the appropriate change made to the FTP
clients. If the extension can be demonstrated to work with UNIX-clients,
I rather suspect it wouldn't be too difficult to convince other FTP
client makers to make the change.

Can anyone help me.

First things first. At the present time I DON'T use wu-ftpd (YET) I have a multitude of Sun Sparcs with Solaris 2.5.1. I have a requirement to copy (ftp) binary files(actually BLOBS) from a network of Sparcs to a server at night and would need to get FTP to run automatically via a shell script/cron.

I've tried various ways, but I can't get it to work, 
All I want to do is to run it unattended. ftp to a server, log in (as a user), cd to a directory change to binary mode and then "mget *". but I'm stuck. 

Anyone able to help?

first of all you have to use a .netrc file (RTFM)
then you can put your ftp commands in a here document 

example:

contents of ~/.netrc (only relevant line shown,
note access rights of ~/.netrc _must_ be -rx------- !):

machine your_ftp_server login your_login password your_password

sample shell script to be called from cron:

ftp -i your_ftp_server <<END_HERE_DOCUMENT
cd your_dir
bin
mget *
END_HERE_DOCUMENT

hope this helps

   Can anyone help me.

   First things first. At the present time I DON'T use wu-ftpd (YET) I have a multitude of Sun Sparcs with Solaris 2.5.1. I have a requirement to copy (ftp) binary files(actually BLOBS) from a network of Sparcs to a server at night and would need to get FTP to run automatically via a shell script/cron.

Kevin,

you don't have to use shell scripts at all. Take a look at the Mirror
package written in Perl instead. It's used by various sites to
synchronize large mirror archives and it should easily do your job.
You'd have to install it (and Perl of course) on your server just
once. To quote from its' README file:

   Mirror is a package written in Perl that uses the ftp protocol to
   duplicate a directory hierarchy between the machine it is run on
   and a remote host.  It avoids copying files unnecessarily by
   comparing the file timestamps and sizes before transfering.
   Amongst other things it can optionally compress, gzip, and split
   files. 
   
   It was written for use by archive maintainers but can be used by
   anyone wanting to transfer a lot of files over ftp. 

I use it here at GMD to get stuff from local machines onto our
official ftp server. You'll find everything you'll need on a CPAN
archive site near you or you can get the mirror package directly from
ftp.gmd.de:/packages/CPAN/scripts/ftpstuff/mirror-2.8.tar.gz

Use wget.  It is a GPL'ed web and ftp mirroring utility.  I am using an
rpm package on a Redhat system, which likely won't help you.  I guess
you will need to hunt down the source package.  It is GPL'ed and _VERY_
easy to use.  I run this script nightly:

#! /bin/sh

cd /home/ftp/pub/linux
/usr/bin/wget -cm ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-5.0/updates/noarch/
/usr/bin/wget -cm ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-5.0/updates/i386/

Cheers!

I saw some postings about 2 weeks back, but I don't think they
were talking about this advisory. Can anyone shed light on whether
this applies across the board or was it fixed in the B13 version

Thanks in advance

Please set wrap on your mailer to about column 70.

There is 'line ftp' that works well with linux, probably with solaris. 
The description is below. 

I would suggest a different approach, ssh with rsync.  ssh gives
securely authenticated and encrypted sessions (can be unattended with
RSAAuthentication), and rsync does a differential transfer to move
only the data needed.  It works well for what you want.

Title:          LFTP command line ftp client
Version:        0.11.0
Entered-date:   10APR97
Description:    LFTP is a shell-like command line ftp client. The main
                two advantages over other ftp clients are reliability
                and ability to perform tasks in background. It will
                reconnect and reget the file being transferred
                if the connection broke. You can start a transfer
                in background and continue browsing on the ftp site.
                It does this all in one process. When you have started
                background jobs and feel you are done, you can just
                exit lftp and it automatically moves to nohup mode
                and completes the transfers. It has also such nice
                features as reput and mirror.

Kevin,
  FWIW--Are you familiar with "/usr/bin/rdist"? It uses a Distfile like
the following to distribute to multiple clients...

# 
# By Role 
# 
SERVERS = ( mailserver newservers )

X11:  
  /export/vol/X11R4 -> ${SERVERS}
       install /export/vol2/X11R4 ;


Could be an alternative.

# once per session, and sufficiently early in the session. It requires

Again, you are correct. It could be added to the spec (hense my "at present")
and support could begin to show up. The problem is the installed base of ftp
software.

#   The only problem seem to get the appropriate change made to the FTP

Wow. I am seriously amazed at the numbers of different messages all
describing different means to mirror files. ;)


Let's see... 

rdist 
'line ftp'
rsync with ssh
wget
plain ftp with a .netrc file
mirror

;)

It really depends on what you want to do and where you want to get it from.
If you have perl installed and you will be getting everything from an ftp 
server I'd suggest the use of mirror.  Nice and easy. (I like things that 
way.) Many of the largest archives use mirror.

	http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/computing/archiving/mirror/

If you need to protect the transmission you might want to look into
other options that include encryption capabilities.  (I personally
like ssh and rsync).

If you are going to be mirroring both from an ftp site and a web site 
then check out wget.

What are your thoughts on why you asked the question ?  Do you feel that
one FTP session is enough ?  Is it a performance issue ?  Other than that
why would you care since you have already given them access to your system
with the guest account ?

We have a version of ftpd that lets a child process actually perform the
transfer and once the session is done lets the parent process the files
transferred. (The parent just processes everything there's a directory
entry for)

We deal with very "primitive" users on the remote (client) end and don't
want them overwriting files etc. (or the parent process pick up files not yet
fully transferred from another session).

Thank you

** FIXES IN THIS RELEASE**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 478 from Andrey A. Chernov <ache@nagual.pp.ru> noted that I had made
an error in the final release in not completely including all the changes
necessary to make SKEY part of the basic ftp configuration for FreeBSD. I have
fixed this for this release.

Ticket 482 from Mike McLagan <mmclagan@invlogic.com> offered a patch to 
ftpcount to make sure that the numbers listed are no lower than zero. This
patch is included in this release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 485 from Aaron St. Pierre <stpiera@awl.com> suggested a change to
building the support library under Solaris 2 that would ld from getting
upset. This change is included in this release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 486 from Brett M Hogden <hogden@rge.com> offered some fixes for AIX
and some small code cleanups. Some of these appear in this release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 487 from Becki Kain <beckers@josephus.furph.com> notes that for 
versions of Digital Unix without C2, you have to undef SECUREOSF in the
config file for Digital Unix. This has been added to NOTES.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 489 from Matt Power <mhpower@mit.edu> provided a fix to address a 
problem that can come up with strings that are not properly null terminated.
This patch is included in this release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 492 from Pascal A. Dupuis <dupuis@lei.ucl.ac.be> noted that there is
some conflicts between some subroutine names (getline and logwtmp) in wu-ftpd
and function in glibc2. These conflicts are now resolved in this release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 495 from Daniel Baker <dbaker@jeep.ops.neosoft.com> claims that
under FreeBSD 2.2.5, ftpwho and ftpcount don't return any data at all.
Beta 16 does not do this on this release, so either this problem doesn't
exist or is fixed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 497 from Jonathan Roy <roy@atlantic.net> points out that wu-ftpd can
hang in in "read" forever. A fixed based on a patch submitted by Jon Lewis 
<jlewis@fdt.net> has been encorporated into this release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 500 from LaMont Jones <lamont@cranston.fc.hp.com> offered a change
for permitting ftphosts to be dynamically allocated and not fixed at 100
hosts. He also provided patches that cause guestgroup to be revaluated 
after autogroup is run. These changes are included in this release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 504 from Mike Pearlman <canuck@caam.rice.edu> suggested that the
man page for the daemon be installed as ftpd.1m instead of in.ftpd.1m. This
is done in this release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 505 from Gildas Perrot <perrot@francenet.fr> suggested some specific
changes for HP-UX. Now, HP-UX builds with VIRTUAL defined by default.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 506 from Kenneth Whitaker <whitakek@baileys-emh5.army.mil> is trying
to build wu-ftpd using the C Compiler bundled with HP-UX 10.X. This compiler
is not the correct one to use, so the NOTES file now reflects this. Of course,
this information is based on information from HP-UX users. I don't have HP-UX,
so I don't know if this is really true or not.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tickets 507, 508, 546 adn 547 from Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@MIT.EDU>
provided a vital set of fixes for the reply subroutine. There were a number
of errors in the implementation, especially when vprintf is not available.
These fixes are included in this release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 510 from Michael Helm <helm@fionn.es.net> suggested that all 
man pages should not be installed with a mode 755. They have all be changed
to 644 in this release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 511 from Patrik Backstrom <pb@techno.org> and Ticket 563 from Matt 
Soffen <matt.soffen@beasys.com> suggested that -D_NO_PROTO be added to CFLAGS 
in the AIX Makefiles. I have done this, but don't have any idea if it will 
work. I don't have an AIX machine to test on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 514 from Geoff Baysinger <GBaysing@HiWAAY.net>, Ticket 532 from Marta 
Ferreyra <marta@mdp.edu.ar> and Ticket 561 from Stephen P. Carrier 
<carrier@ced.berkeley.edu> noted that there was spaces where there should be 
tabs in the Makefile for OSF. This is corrected in this release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 518 from Shingo Fujimoto <shingo@fla.fujitsu.com> pointed out a 
number of porting issues with SVR4 derived systems and Solaris 2 in
particular. These centered around support for utmp/wtmp entries. The porting
issues have been addressed in this release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 526 from Vic Summerour <vic@perceptive.net> notes the difference
in how SecureWare is implemented on Digital Unix 3.2 and Digital Unix 4.0.
I don't know if I have resolved this or not. I don't have access to 
Digital Unix.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 528 from Chris Metcalf <metcalf@cag.lcs.mit.edu> offers a significant
fix for ftpcmd.y. It will prevent some systems from faulting when they 
encounter a null pointer. Many systems already handle this, but some don't
and this will insure that those are covered as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 530 from T.Y. Wu <tyw@deltanet.com> offered a number of small fixes 
to make it easier to compile on AIX. I have included these, but I don't
know if they help or not. I don't have AIX.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tickets 533 from Pieter Immelman <pi@aztec.co.za> offered a small bugfix for
the gzip2cmp utility. This is included in this release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 537 from Olaf Kirch <okir@caldera.de> point up a long standing problem
in the code that does port checking. This bug makes it possible to exploit
priviledged ports on the host system or the client system (but not other
systems). The bug fix is based on the one developed by caldera and
is included in this release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tickets 562 and 564 from Joe Gross <jgross@uiuc.edu> noted that off_t is a 
long long on AIX 4.2. I have attempted to compensate for this in ftpd.c, but 
I don't have an AIX system to test on, so it may not work. This affects
places where wu-ftpd wants to print the size of files or the size of transfers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 568 from Ian Willis <ianw@sco.com> provided a number of fixes. These
included a free for save.pw_passwd when sgetpwnam() is used, a memory leak
problem in send_data(), and receive_data now uses a dynamically allocated
buffer. These are included in this release.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket 569 from Ian Willis <ianw@sco.com> notes that the install shell script
(when used on OpenServer 5) does not work correctly. His fix for this is in
this release. Also, he notes that the man pages can be installed and used with
either nroff or groff is available. Groff can be obtained for OpenServer 5 from
the sco web site. So, man pages will now be installed on SCO.

Hello,

	I am running wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-14.  I know that this is not the
	latest version of it.  But it works satisfactorily for me.  So I
	don't want to go for latest  version.  But I have a question, if
	I want to incorporate some bug fix which is already incorporated
	in beta-15, then is there any way I can know how that particular
	ticket fix is done.

	Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Harshal

surely it is much easier to compile the new version than to merge source code
from various versions.  The different beta versions are not very different,
you can just compile the new one and throw it in, you do not need to change
your config files.

Is this a bug in the lasted WU-FTP beta, or is it just something whack
in my configuration?

Running - RedHat Linux 2.0.27...

And the problem is:

Everytime I look at the processes (via ps -aux) all the ftpd processes
show as sendmail.. for example.. this should be an ftpd process.. not
sendmail

13536  ?  S    0:00 sendmail: pc-10087.on.rogers.wave.ca:
anonymous/gads@rogers

It used to display correctly before I put the beta on.. and nothing else
in the environment changed besides this upgrade... so the only logical
cause is the code..  right?

and incase you ask.. yes.. I can send and receive mail quite nicely...
in fact.. all seems well besides this insignificant (?) error...

Thanks,

Subject: real users being chrooted
Content-Type: text
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23]

I am having a small problem with configuration of wu-ftpd.  I am using 
version 2.41 from January 1997 on a DEC Alpha with Digital Unix.  The 
system is compiled and working properly, but I am having trouble fine 
tuning it.  I was hoping somebody might give me a pointer...


When I use the "ftpaccess" file that comes in the distribution as
"doc/examples/ftpaccess" any real user on the system can login to the
server with no problems.  However, I wanted to have several uids login
with chroot, to lock them into a specific home area.  It appears to me 
(based on what I read in Cricket Liu's book and from the sample files)
that I needed to include a "guestgroup" entry for these seven or eight 
logins.  The entries for these uids have "/./" notation in the
/etc/passwd file, and they login properly with a chroot to the directory
noted in /etc/passwd. 

But once I included a "guestgroup" for these people into the ftpaccess
file, all of the "real" users are being chrooted to their home directories
when they login to the system.  This doesn't really work for me for a 
variety of reasons.

I'm sure I have a misconfiguration.  Can somebody give me a pointer.  Do I
need to create a guestgroup entry for all the real users?

Greetings,

I have a Slackware system that has been upgraded to 2.0.27. Before
and after the upgrade, I have been able to successfully build
'wu-ftpd-2.4-fixed'.

However, when invoked from the command line, ftpd does nothing and
I just get a new shell prompt with no error.

Slackware has a 'wu.ftpd' daemon, I assume this is just ftpd renamed.

Sorry if I am a little vague, am new to the innards of wu-ftp. If
any of this rings a bell with anyone, I can provide more info on
demand.

Thanks in advance,

--Paul T.

     Do the users to be chrooted have a different group from the rest of
the users?  "guestgroup" chroots everyone in the given group, whether
there's a /./ in the home directory or not.

I'm having some troubles figuring out those guest accounts and chroot.

What I need to do is have most real users confined to their own home dir, I
still want to keep more access for a few priviledged users (like me for
example), so I created a group called ftpusers so I could use that group in the
statement:

guestgroup ftpusers

in my ftpaccess file, I also split my class statement like this:

class all real,anonymous *

became:

class   anon    anonymous       *
class   users   real            *
class   guests  guest           *

limit   anon    15      Any     /etc/msgs/msg.dead
limit   users   15      Any     /etc/msgs/msg.dead
limit   guests  15      Any     /etc/msgs/msg.dead

so I could have control over each one individually, the msg.dead file is just
temporary, I'll have an other one made later...

Before I changed the class statement, I couldn't logon with ftp under a user
name that belonged to the ftpusers group, but I could logon as myself as usual,
it was saying access denied or something like that, when I added the guest word
in the class statement, it then worked just like before, but was not chrooted,
even now with the 3 class and limit statements, I can logon as a user in the
group ftpusers but not chrooted, what am I missing?

If you haven't see it already, the guest howto will walk you through
the configuration.  The other resources are helpful also.

Great.  Well it sounds possible from your decussion.  If anyone
is working on this, I'd be MORE then happen to test it on a live

Friends, Romans, Countrypeople,

I've been running beta15 for some time now on my Sun Ultra2 under 
Solaris 2.6 just fine.  When I compiled and tried beta16 it won't 
run. Clients get the following message:

|wumpus# ftp wumpus
|Connected to wumpus.sbc.com.
|421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
|ftp> quit
|wumpus#

and my console says:

|Dec 23 13:39:51 wumpus ftpd[11887]: exiting on signal 11

11 is a SIGSEGV (segmentation violation), but I can't find a core
anywhere!

My /etc/inetd.conf line hasn't changed:

|ftp    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/in.wuftpd     in.wuftpd -a

The strange thing is when I try adding the '-d' and/or the '-v' options 
to debug the darn thing works!

I didn't change ANY of the source... Really!... Ok, I DID the change
the MANDIR macro in makefiles/Makefile but THAT'S IT... nothing else, 
I didn't change anything else... not a thing... Ok, maybe I modified 
the INSTALL macro a little bit in makefiles/Makefile but that's REALLY 
all... really :-).

I'm back to beta15 for now.  Anyone have any suggestions?

Jeremy, you are understanding that in order for this to work, not only 
would the wu-ftp server need to be modified, but everyone in the world 
would need to pick up an ftp client which supports non ip based virtual 
hosting :-)

I understand that people would have to change there client,
which actually I believe wouldn't be that bad of a deal. 
Standards have changed before, which basically left people
broken, and people finally decided to update their software to
take advantage of new features.

Besides, from the discussion, I got the impression that
there would be a way around compatibility issues.  A feature
like this would be far to useful to be held back by client
limitations.  

Don't you think an advantage like this would be more then
accepted and supported by system administrators and users?

Perhaps I'm wrong, but this same thing happened in the

Web clients are an industry controlled product. They are constantly 
changing and coming out with new features, and people accept the fact 
that they need to upgrade their browser every few months. FTP clients, 
however, have remained strictly rfc based. I have been using the same ftp 
client for the past few years, the one that is stock shipped with my 
operating system. However I've gone through many browsers as people start 
adding more and more proprietary crap to their web pages and make the web 
do stuff it wasn't meant to, like stream video :-) I don't know how 
feesable it would be to try and get the world to accept new ftp 
standards, you would probably need to release a new RFC for this, and 
then make a deal with microsoft to force everyone to use this new ftp 
client...

The other alternative is to support the nacent FTP software market.
Differential is trying to move the FTP standard forward with capabilities
like enhanced reliability, mirroring, security, etc.  We deliver these
in the form of software features, but the protocol enhancements are open.
Of course going through the RFC process is a time killer that we haven't
been able to finish.

There are certainly commercial FTP clients like ws_ftp.  And there's
the FileDrive FTp servers, based somewhat on wu-ftpd.   www.filedrive.com

The only way to drive the ftp standard forward in the same way as
the Web standard is for companies to ship software to lots of people!  :-)

IMHO.

Hmmm.  I thought someone did a patch for this already?
We did this in FileDrive and it improves performance *dramatically*.
Watch out though, if the config files change, be sure
to reread them before forking.

I see what your saying.  My question is then...does the
effort it would take to implement a working server/client
outweigh its worth?

Although you may be right about people's unwillingness to change
clients, I would in turn tell my user's that they MUST use this
client to reach certain site within my control.

As far as differences in clients, it depends on what your using.
For example at work (my real job) I'm forced to use the ftp client
present in the Solaris 2.5.1 distro, which I feel seriously lacks
in capability and features.

At home (where I get work done) I use  RH Linux, which has many features
over Solaris's distro.  Complete Solaris's full distro's do not come out
that often, but on the other hand, you'll find new versions of RH like
every 4 - 6 months, which would make it very simple to distribute a new
client.

Plus, I think a multi-platform virtual ftp client would be very
marketable.
Just look at what f-secure did with ssh.  

All I'm saying is, what would it take to make it available to those who
want to use it?

Jeremy,

Anders Thulin <Anders.X.Thulin@telia.se> and I are going to be submitting an
Internet Draft to the IETF's FTPEXT working group.  It will take a bit before
we are ready to test a prototype.  I like the attitude though. ;)  

And just as a heads up... There is now an effort to start an Apache-like
development process up.  It is happening as I type.  We will have things
setup shortly.  This should start breathing new life into FTP clients and
server software.  This is one of the areas that will be prototyped.

We will be needing lots of testers ;)

I would have to say this feature is a must in todays Internet
driven world.  With the HTML standard supporting "virtual"
hosting through one IP most presence providers are using
this method because it helps to better preserve precious
IP addresses.  Unfortunatly, ftp currently does not fit in
well with this senerio.  Considering ftp and HTTP are being
used side by side in many applications I believe they should
compliment each other not interfere with each other.

IMHO this feature needs to be included to keep ftp up with
what is going on with the Internet today and is well worth
the development and testing effort.

I ran into problems with setting up anonyous ftp and guest ftp on Solaris
2.5. The following error showed up at "ls" or "ls -l" command after ftp 
to a host: 

	550 No files found.
	425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): No such device or address.

As for the output from "truss -f chroot ~ftp bin/ls", it gave the 
following errors:

	open("/dev/zero", O_RDONLY)                     Err#6 ENXIO

I have tried to mknod for that device again to no avail.

Could somebody please tell me how I could resolve this problem.

Thanks,
Janet Leung, TACTech, Inc., Yorba Linda, CA 92887

P.S.  For real users, ftp works like a charm....

I finished to put the needed stuff in the bin and etc dirs, all that following
the instructions of the guest-howto doc, I double checked everything and it's
still not doing the chroot.

I'm pretty sure the ftpaccess is read, because the user account that I use to
test it will not let me use the user cmd and says it can't be used from a guest
account, so that should prove that at least the status of that logon has gone
from real user to guest, but why isn't it not doing the chroot???

I have only inserted the /./ after the user's home path in the passwd file, I
want them to be able to get in at their root home dirs and go up from there to
their web space or cgi-bin dir.

I made the passwd file in the user's etc dir with the user's ID number as 100,
which is not this user's number in the system passwd file, would that change
anything?
I also made the group file with the ftpusers group with an ID of 2, which is
also not the same as the system group file...
If I understand it right, only ls is using those files anyway, and if the ID
numbers for users and groups aren't exactly the same, then I think the only
thing that should happen is that during a file listing with ls, the user and
group ownership would show up as numbers because they don't have a match in the
group and passwd file, but that shouldn't bother chroot.

I have one more test to prove that the ftpaccess file is actually read, I have
several upload statements to prevent uploads to several system areas and I tried
to upload something when logged as the guest user, the server refused the
upload, so that proves to me that the ftpaccess file is being read...
So what could prevent the chroot?

Hi;

We are running wu-ftpd for real users with ftp accounts. Anonymous
access denied.
We allow these users to publish their own cgi. With restrictions of
course.

On our Solaris 2.5.1 system site exec has seemed to disappear. How do I
get it
 back?

We are also experiencing a significant slow down in authentication on
our DEC OSF box.
 There are approx. 1200 chrooted ftp accounts and it takes anywhere from
1-2 min just to authenticate. Any ideas?

Latest Beta on both machines.


Thanks
Scot

That would be the best way to handle it (reading from ftpaccess file, or
some other config file).  Can we get this included in the actual source
tree?

Hi,
   I'm not sure if this is a site specific thing, but running beta-16 on
SunOS 4.1.4-JL (Japanese version) if I use a single argument to ftpd with
no options (ie: -a) the server dies with the only clue being:

Dec 29 08:11:21 fall ftpd[7469]: exiting on signal 11

if I do '-a -v' everything works fine, if I do '-v' it dies, and if I do
'-u 002' it works fine.. 

anyone else seen this?

The same happens here under Linux 2.0.32. Beta15 worked fine.

I've not tested this but, on code-reading, I'm suspicious of the set proc
title code.  Quite a bit of patching was made in this area between B15 and
B16, and it appears to be the only area changed which deals with the
command-line arguments.  You might try re-testing after changing SPT_TYPE
from SPT_REUSEARGV to SPT_NONE.  This _should_ disable the feature.  If it
works, we've at least narrowed down the problem.

I've just tested this but unfortunlately the problem still occurs.

The passive mode patches I have seen either suffered from not dealing
with UID's such that you could use "trusted" ports (an advantage to know
that only passive ftp will use a range of ports) or they had byte order
problems and might hunt forever for a free port within the allowed
range.

I have a version that seems to work very well that will allow you to
either disable passive mode and return an error that will cause most
clients (Netscape, etc.) to revert to non-PASV or to limit the range of
ports it will use.  I still need to define the parameters with
ftpaccess instead of hard coded but that should be easy.

At the moment I am working with beta15 but will update shortly.  

If there is interest in using my work I will formalize it.  If it is
likely that I am wasting my time and some other solution will be used
instead I will just use what I have for now.

Regardless of it being work I derived from other patches or someone
elses work, PASV disable and port range limiting should be accessable
through ftpaccess.

Cheers!

The problem in the initialization is being performed _after_ the function
it's initializing.  The following patch should correct the situation,
apply it against 2.4.2 beta 15 clean sources.

Hi,

We are trying to get ftp permissions set up as follows: all uploaded files
should have permission 644, except in a certain directory, where they
should have permission 664.  These are for real (not guest) accounts.  Can
anyone suggest how I should set this up? I have tried changing the umask,
but that doesn't seem to let me configure on a per-directory basis.

Thanks.

OK, maybe I'm missing something here.  I tried this, but it looks like I
would have to make a separate entry for each directory for each user.
Example:

upload /home/user1 /dir1 yes ......
upload /home/user1 /dir2 .........
upload /home/user2 /dir1 ..........
upload /home/user2 /dir2 ...........

and so on.  I tried:

upload * /dir1 yes ...
upload * /dir2 yes ...

but it didn't seem to recognize the *. I'm using the WU 2.4 version- would
I be able to use a * for the home directory if I updated to the 2.4.2
beta?

Thanks.

Unfortunately this is is true.  Not the most convenient way to do
things, but that's what wu-ftpd provides.

I'm a newcomer to all things UNIX. I recently got wu-ftpdB15 going after a
small struggle, and would like to suggest a small change to the INSTALL file to
make it easier for people who are upgrading from a different ftpd to use.

In step 4, you are instructed to make sure to modify your inetd.conf.  Modify
it how??  I finally took a close look at the output of build install to figure
out that there was, in fact, a wu.ftpd binary being quietly filed away... aha!
:)

Anyway, I suggest adding the following to the end of step 4 in the INSTALL file-

"For example, your ftp service line in /etc/inetd.conf might look like this by
default:
ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd in.ftpd -a -l
After your change, the line might look like this:
ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/wu.ftpd -a"

I'm embrassed to say that would have saved me about an hour if it had been in
there....

        Cheers, hope this helps someone.

(Whoops, sent this to the announce list by mistake)

Trying to compile wu-2.4 under Irix 6.2 using "build sgi," and the
following results (same thing happens under 5.3 as well).  I know other
 people have had this problem, but there are no solutions in the
archive.
Has anyone seen this before and if so, what was your workaround? I'll 
summarize so other people don't beat their heads in trying to get this
to compile.

Thanks!

Some time ago, I recall reading about some forms of attacks which were made
vulnerable while running a web server and ftpd on the same machine.  I
can't find reference to this anymore and wonder if someone can shed some
light on this issue.

Thanks,

Forrest

The most obvious risk is if you allow use of a type mapping like .cgi to
designate CGI scripts; if someone can upload a file in a location seen by
the web server, they can then execute arbitrary commands.

There might be other related risks thru server-side includes or other

Also with some configurations the attacker can upload a .htaccess file
to, in effect, grant himself permission to run arbitrary programs. See
http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/security_tips.html for information on
how to block this on some types of web servers. Also, a path-filter
line in your ftpaccess file might be used to block uploading .htaccess
files or other filenames with special meaning to the web server.

I hate to intrude here, but the discussion going on here has absolutely
nothing to do with an FTP server running with a WEB server...  They
very well could be shell accounts doing these 'exploits' being mentioned.

Besides that fact, how in the hell do you expect people to be able to
update their pages without some type of file access to their directories?
I'm confused here.

BUT, if there is an issue about running and FTPd and a web server on
the same machine I'd like to know.  But these have nothing to do with
running the two together on the same machine--hell, I could NFS mount
the web directories, run the ftpd on another machine and these 'exploits'
are available.

Thanks, and have a happy new year,

You obviously did not finish reading the email.  As I stated, these
'exploits' have absolutely NOTHING to do with running a FTP server
and a web server on the same machine.  They have everything to do
with people creating files in their web space--which if they can't
do that then what's the purpose of web space.

One last time: These exploits have zilch to do with running an FTP
and a web server on the same machine.

(And for the records, I believe I stated in the email that you could
use NFS.)

Well then, you may take this as "risks of running an anonomous ftp upload
directory within a web server data tree". The wider concern is to look
for unexpected interaction between various subsystems.

For, example anonymous ftp archives are sometimes mirrored on the web by
pointing a web server at the same directory. There may be no intent to set
up an upload directory, but a simple mistake in permissions opens all these
holes described.

(My treatment for the risks of accidentally allowing uploads is not only to
lock stuff down as much as possible in the ftpaccess file, but also to run
a cron job that sets the desired permissions, and notifies me of changes in
permissions, or changes in disk usage.)

Yes, now this is a very _real_ concern.  Anonymous ftp and a web directory
with unrestricted uploads could be very bad.

That and make _damned_ sure that your web browser is set to allow no overrides
for those directories, etc.  "don't parse files" in that directory, etc.
