Subject: WUFTP not reading ftpaccess

Has anybody have a problem where wuftpd does not read the ftpaccess
file. I am running on Solaris 2.6 just upgraded from solaris 2.5. I
know the ftpaccess file is not being read because I look at the last
date/time it was accessed by a program it does not change when I start
the server but there FTP server is running because I can FTP and
upload a file. The other item that I know it is not working correctly
is that my passwd file for user "userid" has their home directory as
/home/FTP/./home/userid. If I run in.wuftpd manually with all my
options It works and reads the file. I do use the -a to enable reading
the ftpaccess file.

	Sounds like its running the wrong version. (I just ran into
that last night.)

probably using the wrong ftpaccess file.

chconfig should tell you where to look for the right ftpaccess file but I
like to ask the code itself:

    $ strings ftpd | grep ftpaccess
    FTP server started without ftpaccess file
--> /etc/ftpaccess
    Too many args (>%d) in ftpaccess: %s %s %s %s %s ...
    ERROR ftpaccess port entry<%s> too large
    ERROR ftpaccess port entry<%s> invalid
    ERROR ftpaccess passive entry <%s> to large
    ERROR ftpaccess vector entry<%s> to large
    ERROR ftpaccess vector entry<%s> invalid

I installed the new ftpd on  my Solaris 2.6 last night.  I noted that the
2.5.0 version installed at a different location than the 2.4.2-beta-18-vr
series.  The previous version installed as /usr/sbin/in.ftpd  whereas the
2.5.0 version installed at /etc/in.ftpd.  I would support the "wrong
version" theory.  Verify that your inetd.conf file points to the correct
location.
