Hello all,

The problem I am having is if the ftphosts file has more than 100
uncommented lines (currently all uncommented lines are the "allow" command), I get the following
error message when I login as a user of 
type "guest":

   Connected to quartz.hnmc.
   220 quartz.cary.mci.net FTP server (Version wu-2.4(4) Mon Nov 27 21:41:13 GMT 1995) ready.
   Name (quartz.hnmc:mingram): username
   530 User username access denied.
   Login failed.

The following message is written to the /var/adm/messages log file:

   Apr  9 17:37:49 quartz.cary.mci.net ftpd[23026]: host_access: Config file too big!!
   Apr  9 17:37:49 quartz.cary.mci.net ftpd[23026]: rhost_ok: sethacc failed
   Apr  9 17:37:49 quartz.cary.mci.net ftpd[23026]: FTP LOGIN REFUSED (name in
      /usr/local/etc/ftphosts) FROM 1.1.1.1 [1.1.1.1], username

   Apr  9 17:38:36 quartz.cary.mci.net ftpd[23026]: QUIT

If the number of uncommented lines is 100 or less I have no problems logging.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
