Hello!

Anyone else having problems porting this wu-ftpd to HP-UX 10?

I can't make it work...

Anonymous ftp works, but not for real users and passwds...

Regards,
	Iztok

I am running HP-UX 10.01.  I have had the following problems:

1) The passwords get truncated to 8 characters, this screws up Email
addresses and long passwords.  I haven't worked this one out yet.

2) Once the system was converted to "trusted" wu-ftpd stopped working
altogether.  I tweaked the code where the strcmp on the passwords was
happening, changing it to a strncmp with the length of the shorter
string and setting the config file to use SHADOW passwords.  The strncmp
hack was gross IMHO, but I was rather rushed.
