How do I setup wlcome messages for users logging on and how do I setup
description messages in the directories they change into.

I am running wu-ftpd-2.4 on a SPARC 10, SunOS 4.1.3

   Thank you

Look at the 'message' directive in doc/ftpaccess.5, see an example in 
doc/examples/ftaccess.heavy.

I still can't get the welcome message to appear.	
I read the manpages and the doc/ftpaccess.5.  I also setup the following ftpaccess
file in my /APPS/wu--ftpd-2.4/etc

class   all   real,guest,anonymous  *

limit   all   10   Any              /etc/msgs/msg.dead

readme  README*    login
readme  README*    cwd=*

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

compress        yes             local remote
tar             yes             local remote

log commands real
log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound

shutdown /etc/shutmsg

email user@hostname

Somehow I don't think FTPD knows where to find the ftpaccess file.

     Thank you

put 
message /usr/local/etc/welcome.msg            login
into your ftpaccess file and put ftpaccess file into
/usr/local/etc.

I tried it and it still doesn't work.

Why would I also have to put the ftpaccess file in usr/local/etc.
