Hi.

I am trying (desperately!!) to get going with wu-ftpd 2.4 with the 
patches for virtual ftpd (I got the source that Ken German posted
ftp.dgii.com:/systems/bsdi/networking/vwu-ftpd-2.4.BSDI.tar.gz).

I have edited src/pathnames.h to reflect my system (BSDI 2.0.1).  
Tried this and only got errors.  I then replaced 
/usr/include/arpa/ftpd.h with src/ftpd.h.  Still no good.

I remember some people on this list mentioning problems with ftpshut 
and ftpcount, but did not keep the messages (mea culpa!).  
Bassically, it seems that the links cannot be made.  Here are the 
results of the build command:

./build bsd
make args are :
make opts are :

Done

I would really appreciate some help.
