Another question. I'm trying to set up anonymous FTP under A/UX 2.0, and I've followed the description under the ftpd manpage, but I still can't get it to work correctly. I can connect and login via anonymous FTP to my machine, but when I do an ls, I get nothing. I can retrieve the files that I know are there, but it just seems that ls does nothing. If I do an su to superuser and cd to ~ftp, and then issue a bin/ls to see if indeed the ls in the ~ftp/bin directory is working, I get the directory listing I expect. Is there some privilege not mentioned under the ftpd manpage that I need to change? For the most part, everything is 555, with the exception of bin/ls and bin/sh (111), and etc/group and etc/passwd (444). Any suggestions? -- Regards, Darryl Marsee Syracuse University <demarsee@gamera.cns.syr.edu>

As a matter of fact, we just had the same problem. It turns out that /bin/ls uses shared libraries and anonymous ftp does chroot ~ftp. This means that ls cant get to /shlib. On solutution is to get an old version of ls. I have found that # mkdir ~ftp/shlib # ln /shlib/* ~ftp/shlib will also take care of it. -- steveg@umd5.umd.edu
