Subject: data socket error

hi all,

I'm just about there but I still have a major bug to take care of.

ftp> debug
Debugging on (debug=1).
ftp> ls
---> PORT 151,210,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx
200 PORT command successful.
---> NLST
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number.
ftp> pwd
---> PWD
257 "/sun" is current directory.

#####
the ftpaccess list looks like so

# ftpaccess

# defining classes of users...
# class	  classname	type	address
#
class     goodguys       	real     *
class     badguys        guest    *

# denying access...
# deny access if ip address doesn't map back to a legitimate 
# domainname
#
deny	!nameserved	/etc/ftpmsgs/msg.denied

# limiting access...
# setting simultaneous access per class
#
limit   goodguys       1    Any       /etc/ftpmsgs/msg.limit
limit   badguys       10    Any       /etc/ftpmsgs/msg.limit

# group controls...
# guestgroups (sun, oracle, ibm)
#
guestgroup badguys

#####
the passwd and group entries are such

/etc/root
bguy1:x:3001:8000:sun ftp user:/usr/local/ftp/pub/./bguy1:/bin/sh
bguy2:x:3002:8000:oracle ftp user:/usr/local/ftp/pub/./bguy2:/bin/sh
bguy3:x:3003:8000:ibm ftp user:/usr/local/ftp/pub/./bguy3:/bin/sh

##
/etc/group
badguys:*:8000:bguy1,bguy2,bguy3

now, when I comment out the 'guestgroup' from the ftpaccess file, I
can get in and list the dir (I can also move around too much).  any
ideas as to where my major mistake is?

thanks,		...brently

hi again all.

I found it.  just a little something to do with
the placement of the chroot dirs in relationship
to the bin directory.  I pulled the 'pub' out of
the homedir location and all is well in my world.

thanks to those of you who responded.  the light
actually came on while perusing the web site archives.
