I'm getting the following message when I use the 'ls' command, logged on as
'anonymous':

        425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number.

System configuration is Solaris 2.4 on a Sun Sparc, with wu-ftpd 2.4.  All I
have in my ~ftp/dev directory is the 'zero' device, created with the command:
        mknod zero c 3 12

Am I missing something in this ~ftp/dev directory?  When I log in as any
other (non-anonymous) user, the 'ls' command works fine. I assume this is
because I'm using the regular /dev directory, rather than the ~ftp/dev
directory.

I am grateful for any help.

Pat

yep, you'll need a tcp dev too.
It should be something like:

crw-r--r--   1 root     misc      11, 42 Jun 15 00:21 tcp
