Subject: installation notes for wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-5

This version works great, but there are three gotchas in the installation:

	1) the ftpaccess file is no longer read by default; you must specify the '-a' 
option on the ftpd command line, or change the default in the code.

	2) There are some confusing #ifdefs in "pathnames.h" for the "ftpaccess" 
file, etc., and you have to be careful to know which one you will get (or need 
to modify) as a result of the #defines in "config.h".

	3) The Makefile (at least for Solaris 2.x) does not have sufficient 
dependencies listed for "pathnames.h" and "config.h", so if you change either 
of these files and re-'make' your changes will not take effect!!

Good luck!

P.S.  Here are the missing Makefile dependencies.

access.c:config.h
acl.c:config.h
authenticate.c:config.h
ckconfig.c:config.h
conversions.c:config.h

Hi All,

Has anybody has problem with reel users accessing files whose belong to
their non-principal groups?

ie: 
	user "aaa" belong to the primary group "groupa" as well as "groupb" and 
	"groupc".
	
	When ftping in as a reel user, "aaa" can access "groupa" files but
	has not the permission to access  files belonging to "groupb" and 
	"groupc".

	"aaa" can access "groupb" and "groupc" files when loging in.

We run wuftp (2.4.2) on AIX 3.2.5.
Any response will be much appeciated.
