Hello,

After upgrading FTP Server  the FTP Configuration Files under /usr/local/etc
where not upgrades.  ftpaccess, ftphosts and others stay as  form from Oct
1998. 
Shouldn't they be copied to *-old files?  

example:
Connected to 0.
220 savior FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-18-VR15](1) Wed May 5
10:47:52 EDT 1999) ready.

/usr/local/etc
rw-r--r--   1 root     other      60324 Oct 14  1998 ftp-gw
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other       2757 Oct 14  1998 ftp-summ.sh
-rw-------   1 root     other       1990 Oct 14  1998 ftpaccess
-rw-------   1 root     other        455 Oct 14  1998 ftpconversions
-rw-------   1 root     other       1747 Oct 14  1998 ftpaccess.heavy
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other     589824 Oct 14  1998 ftpd
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other     589824 Oct 14  1998 ftpd-old
-rw-------   1 root     other        190 Oct 14  1998 ftphosts
-rw-------   1 root     other         37 Oct 14  1998 ftpgroups
-rw-------   1 root     other        117 Oct 14  1998 ftpusers

However under /etc/sbin all binaries where installed:
-r-xr-xr-x   1 bin      bin       660660 May  5 13:26 in.ftpd-old
-r-xr-xr-x   1 bin      bin       660660 May  6 11:21 in.ftpd
-r-xr-xr-x   1 bin      bin        54332 May  6 11:21 ftpwho
-r-xr-xr-x   1 bin      bin        48780 May  6 11:21 ftpshut
-r-xr-xr-x   1 bin      bin        54332 May  6 11:21 ftpcount

I checked /bin/ckconfig
hecking _PATH_FTPUSERS :: /usr/local/etc/ftpusers
ok.

Checking _PATH_FTPACCESS :: /usr/local/etc/ftpaccess
ok.

Checking _PATH_PIDNAMES :: /var/adm/ftp.pids-%s
ok.

Checking _PATH_CVT :: /usr/local/etc/ftpconversions
ok.

Checking _PATH_XFERLOG :: /var/adm/xferlog
ok.

Checking _PATH_PRIVATE :: /usr/local/etc/ftpgroups
ok.

Checking _PATH_FTPHOSTS :: /usr/local/etc/ftphosts

 cd /var/tmp/ftp-beta/src/conf/conf.sol
#define  USE_LOCAL_ETC

I wonder what I did wrong?

Regards,
...Magda

Case in point why I don't use 'make install' but by-hand copy the files
into place.
