I'm running 2.4.2 on solaris 2.5.1. What could cause an 'ls' to work but
not 'dir' ? Wrestled for sometime now, but just can't get it to work!

Thanks,

Christopher,

This is normally caused because your chrooted environment is not totally
setup up correctly.  The ls comand uses internal ftpd services.  The dir
command tries to execute the real ls program under the ftp chrooted area.
Depending on your system type, this may also require you to include
dynamically loaded libraries (if ls is not static) and the /dev/zero
device entry.
