I am in the midst of setting up our first Fftp server with the help of the useful "guest accounts" Howto page.
I have unpacked wu-ftpd.2.4.2 onto our Solaris 2.6 server and  after making the successful additions to the required files and directories, I am still unable to determine where I need to "compile" the ftpd in order for the ftpaccess file to be read along with any other necessary files.
I have read other sites' "compiling"  tricks with no results. ie. build arch.
Would someone be so kind as to point me in the correct direction?

./build sol
should do you

But if I were you, I'd punt and get the prebuilt Solaris package from
ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/binaries/sun/solaris/

There's Solaris-specpifc instructions there, and other documentation atthe
primary site:

The location of the latest versions of wu-ftpd can be found in the 
directory
 
      ftp://ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/
