Subject: wu-ftpd beta 10 on hpux

Hello,

Here are some problems I've run into with the 2.4.2beta 10 release.  I was (and still am) running wu-ftpd 2.4.

During compile, these warnings appeared:
        cc -Aa -Dunix -D_HPUX_SOURCE -O -DDEBUG -I.. -I../support -L../support -c ftpd.c
cc: "ftpd.c", line 2160: warning 604: Pointers are not assignment-compatible.
cc: "ftpd.c", line 2160: warning 563: Argument #2 is not the correct type.
cc: "ftpd.c", line 2160: warning 604: Pointers are not assignment-compatible.
cc: "ftpd.c", line 2160: warning 563: Argument #3 is not the correct type.
cc: "ftpd.c", line 2160: warning 604: Pointers are not assignment-compatible.
cc: "ftpd.c", line 2160: warning 563: Argument #4 is not the correct type.

Regardless, all else build's a-okay.

Worse off is, when I attempt to use this daemon, it doesn't appear to use the ftpaccess file (ckconfig says I have it in the right location).  No guestgroups are enforced and no logging to xferlog occurs.  Yes, I'm using the -a command line option in inetd.conf.  There are also these strange entries in my syslog after every login:

Apr 11 14:17:33 bullrun ftpd[1390]: -i 0,-o 0,xferlog /usr/local/logs/xferlog: 0

So, it doesn't appear to work under HP-UX 9.05.

I hope any of the above info is helpful to the developers.  Is anyone else using wu-ftpd-beta10 (or higher) on HP-UX?  Any suggestions or comments would be helpful.

TIA,
-Bill
