Subject: That darned 'dir' thing again (AIX)

It's me again.  Still having trouble with the 'dir' and 'ls -l' on
my RS6000 (AIX 3.2.5).  I have the etc/groups file and I have
built a (GNU) static version of 'ls' and placed it into the
bin directory.  I've opened up permissions on it yet 'dir' and
'ls -l' still don't seem to work.  It is becoming increasingly
important that I get this to work.  I really don't want to
revert to the insecure ftpd that came with the system.

I'm probably doing something really stupid.  Maybe it's in
the conf file.  I'm really not sure.  I would appreciate
any help I can get.

Thanks.

What I would suggest is try  setting up your dir as a non-static first 
and see if you can get that to work. You will need libc.a and libcurses.a 
in the ~ftp/lib directory. If this works, then try setting up the static 
version.

Thanks very much!  That's exactly what it took.  I looked through
the docs and stuff for that kind of information, but it was all
particular to the SUN.

Thanks again.
