I am running solaris2.5 and wu-ftpd-beta11 and I can't seem to get
wu.ftpd to respond or acknowledge the /etc/ftpaccess file even tho it was
compilied that way. This was compilied on gcc-2.7.2 and everything
compilies nicely no errors no complaints no nothing it justs sorta fails
silently. Has anyone exp this problem or have any insight as to what could
be happening. Oh yeah and nothing is being written to my xferlog either

You probably need to add the "-a" option to ftpd in the /etc/inetd.conf
file and then SIGHUP the inetd daemon.  The -a option tells ftpd to use
the /etc/ftpaccess file.  I think this happened with one of the BETA
releases.  Without the -a, ftpd acts just like (sort a like) the Solaris
ftpd.  (This based on my experience with BETA 10.)  

Hope this helps.
