Subject: Problem configuring wu-ftpd 2.4

From: Willy Hertanu <[email-masked]>
Date: 23 Jan 96 14:41:00 EDT

I just setup the server on my BSD/OS 2.0 with wu-ftpd 2.4. I changed my 
/etc/inetd.conf to include -a in the parameter and do a kill -1. I can login OK 
from my client, download the file OK, but I can only upload ONE file then it 
did a core dump. It disconnected my connection and created one file 
(ftpd.core). I looked at my /etc/ftpaccess file and I don't have any clue right 
now. Can anybody help?

Thanks.

Can you not get a stack trace from your core?  If so then you could tell
where the ftpd was dumping.

Use -g to compile ftpd, and also follow install instructions for
debugging.
