Subject: ls -l (not supported) HELP!!!

I've put wu-ftpd up on about 12 different machines, and I'm having 
problems with "ls -l" command when an anon user logs in. "ls" works 
fine.  The problems are on Dec alphas.  The chroot command is no longer 
supposed to give access to actual bin dir so I have to copy ls over to 
the ~ftp/bin directory. (odd thing is if I don't "ls" still works).  The 
problem is "ls" is dynamically compiled and depends on other librarys.  
The Decs don't have a "ldd" command so I can't find them like I did on 
the Sun.  If anyone knows which other files I need please let me know (I 
copied the entire lib directory over and that didn't work) or if I'm 
doing something else wrong please let me know.

				Thanx,
					Sage

Try using the 'ls' binary from /sbin/ls, not /usr/bin/ls. The former 
should be statically linked and not require *any* libraries. If file * in 
the ~ftp/bin shows up any dynamically linked executables you are going to 
have headaches.

You are a lifesaver!  Thank you.  You've turned on the light for a new 
Sys Admin.
