Thanks to all who helped me complete a good compile of ver.2.4!
The anonymous account works just as promised.

Now I must move ahead to other problems....GUEST ACCOUNTS

I've got a Sparc2/SunOS 4.1.4, gcc 2.6.3 and wuftpd-2.4. 
I'm running into a problem such that the guest user is getting this response.

  220 infoserv1 FTP server (Version wu-2.4(1) Wed Oct 18 19:18:35 CDT 1995) ready.
  Name (infoserv1:jeffm): guest1
  530 User guest1 access denied...
  Login failed.
  ftp> 

I have this in the system /etc/group file...

  guests:*:26:guest1,guest2,guest3

I have this in the system /etc/passwd file...

  guest1:Oiy33CixVIy.E:4290:26:Guest Ftp User:/disk2/FTP/GUESTS/GUEST1/./guest1:/bin/false

I have this line in the ftpaccess file...

  guestgroup guests

The GUEST1 directory has the customary bin,etc,usr,dev directories the same as in the 
anonymous directory. I'm not sure what the chroot'd /etc/group and /etc/passwd need
to have in them, I tried several combinations with no success.

I don`t have guest1 in the ftpusers file, but it acts like I do. The ftpusers file looks like
this....

  root
  nobody
  daemon
  sys
  bin
  uucp
  news
  ingres
  audit
  sync
  sysdiag
  sundiag

ANY IDEAS.....?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
