Subject: [892] HPUX/Wollongong Pathways TCP

From: Rich Schmidt <[email-masked]>

When I replaced ftpd with wu-ftpd on my HPUX  9.04 system none of
our PC clients using Wollongong's Pathways TCP/IP software could ftp in. 
The connection to the host is reported but the initial 220 message does not
display, and the connection hangs.  Only the PCs are stuck, everyone else
gets in fine.
        Previously we had to change the HPUX socket buffer size down from
56K to 32K to fix what may have been the same problem with the HPUX ftpd.
        Has anyone seen a similar problem?  Thanks...

Have your pc users add a dash '-' to the beginning of their password
when they login. The dash tells wu-ftpd to turn off the continuation
messages that may confuse some ftp clients.

        Thanks, but that is not the problem, as in fact it does not get
to the login/password prompts. It hangs before the initial 220 message
which, for non-PC users, gives the hostname and wuftp version message.

Hi there,

I had a problem with PC's and wuftpd also. I have a HP735 with HPUX 9.01.
The problem in my case was that in 'src/authenticate.h' RFC1413 (RFC931)
support was enabled. I changed it and reinstalled. Then it worked.

I hope this helps.

Paul
