Subject: compiling wu-ftpd on solaris 2.5

I compiled the wu-ftpd 2.4.10 beta.  The ftpd daemon is now in 
../wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-10/bin directory.  In the pathnames.h file, I
changed some of the defaults as follows:

#define _PATH_FTPUSERS  "/usr/local/etc/ftpusers"
#define _PATH_FTPACCESS "/usr/local/etc/ftpaccess"
#define _PATH_CVT       "/usr/local/etc/ftpconversions"
#define _PATH_PRIVATE   "/usr/local/etc/ftpgroups"
#define _PATH_FTPUSERS  "/usr/local/etc/ftpd/ftpusers"
#define _PATH_FTPACCESS "/usr/local/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess"
#define _PATH_CVT       "/usr/local/etc/ftpd/ftpconversions"
#define _PATH_PRIVATE   "/usr/local/etc/ftpd/ftpgroups"
#define _PATH_UTMP      "/etc/utmp"
#define _PATH_WTMP      "/etc/wtmp"
#define _PATH_LASTLOG   "/var/adm/lastlog"

Now, the original ftpd is gone from my /etc directory, and the 
ftpd subdirectories were not created under /usr/local/etc as defined
in the above.  The ftpd subdirectories were also not created as the
default definition in: 

#define _PATH_FTPUSERS  "/usr/local/lib/ftpd/ftpusers"
#define _PATH_FTPACCESS "/usr/local/lib/ftpd/ftpaccess"
#define _PATH_CVT       "/usr/local/lib/ftpd/ftpconversions"
#define _PATH_PRIVATE   "/usr/local/lib/ftpd/ftpgroups"

What is happening here?  Do I need to manually created these ftpd
subdirectories?  Where is my original /etc/ftpd?

I am running Solaris 2.5 on a Sparc 5.

Please, please, somebody help me!!!!!!!

Well, I just recently installed wu-ftpd-2.4 under Solaris 2.5 on an ELC, and
no, the install script did not make the correct directories needed, you have
to, it didn't copy any libraries to ~ftp that you might need for dynamically
linked files, and if you reinstalled it, make sure you remove, by hand, all
.o files everywhere and that you removed the binaries under your source tree
in the src and bin directories.

As to the old ftpd, the install script will copy out your old ftpd to
ftpd-old.

Hope this helps.
