Subject: SunOS 4.1.4 and DIR

I have done about everything I can think of to get DIR to work with
anon FTP users.  Quite likely it is something to do with dynamic link
libraries.  I even tried copying the entire contents of /usr/lib into
~ftp/lib - no luck.  I tried using "trace" and so forth, still no luck.

Reading the docs, it says that one way of solving this problem is to
compile ls, tar, etc.   It also says that these are available in source
form from GNU and that is available on the wustl.edu ftp server.  Well,
it's all been rearranged since that document was written, and I have
absolutely no clue where on earth those source files would be.

Does anyone have any tips on how to get it to work with dynamic link
libraries?  Does anyone know where the source for ls may be found?

Thanks a bunch,
Tim

The source can be found in /packages/gnu on ftp.uu.net.  The version I'm
using is fileutils-3.12.
