Subject: Help for Virtual WU-FTPD

Hello there,
I haven't been able to figure out what is wrong with my virtual wu-ftpd. I just upgraded to 2.4.2 beta 11 and set up virtual domain as described in man page. When I anonymous ftp from the machine where the virtual domain resides, it works fine. But from the machine on the LAN, after entered "anonymous" for ID (it says "Guest login OK") and email address for PW, I got "Connection closed by remote host." message.

Can anyone give me a clue to fix this?
Any response would be greatly apprecated.

Here is some info. on my system, should it be relevant.

OS: Linux 1.2.13 with IP alias patch.
I host some virtual WWW and it works just fine.
I use IP alias approach as opposed to dummy interface described in ftpd man page.
The machine I use on LAN for testing is win95.
I host some virtual WWW and it works just fine.

Are you using -DVIRTUAL to compile ftpd?

I edited src/makefiles/Makefile.lnx and added -DVIRTUAL so it looks like:
....
CFLAGS = -DVIRTUAL -O2 -fomit-frame-pointers ${IFLAGS} ${LFLAGS}
....

and did

build lnx

When I compiled it, I got a message several times saying

config.h 31: warning: 'VIRTUAL' redefined

I guess I am doing something wrong here. Could anybody tell me the correct way to compile wu-ftpd with virtual ftp support?

Thank you in advance.

I posted the same kind of question before but I haven't heard anything yet, and haven't been able to figure it out yet (sigh...).
So I post the message again. Could anybody please help me out?
I am desperate ....
