Hi gurus ...

I have a problem with wu-ftpd, I follow all the steps
about configuration, but if the anonymous user come into the site
and type "dir" or "ls" the system say:

230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): No such file or directory.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): No such file or directory.      

and in the /var/adm/messages are:

Feb 25 13:34:37 solaris unix: ls: Cannot find /usr/lib/ld.so.1
Feb 25 13:35:05 solaris last message repeated 2 times                    

(The file /usr/lib/ld.so.1 exists in the system, Solaris2.5)
I think that error is about wu-ftpd2.4, but I try with ftpd standar (Unix)
and I have the same problem ... What is my mistake ?

I hope somebody help me.

Thank in advance. 

Silvia.

The problem is not wu-ftpd, but that you haven't fully set up your
anonymous ftp directory.  Anonymous ftp performs a chroot to its
given directory and thus looks for /usr/lib/* relative to the new root.

man -s 1m chroot, man -s 2 chroot for more information on that command.

man ftpd   for information on how to set up anonymous ftp in Solaris.
Not the best documentation, but it should get you most of the way there.
I can probably give you some help with troubles related to doing that.

I have seen a few messages around on Solaris 2.5 anonymous ftp, but I
don't recall anything that was definitely a 2.5 problem.
