Ftp sub-logins in HP-UX 11.0

Jorge Mora_1 — Fri, 03 Dec 1999 12:38:18 GMT

Hello,

Does anyone know if ftp sub-logins are supported on
HP-UX 11.0. I just upgraded my 712/60 from 10.20
to 11.0 but now all my ftp sub-login accounts are
not working.

When login in as anonymous and then give the sub-login
account it returns with "530 Already logged in."

I would appreciate any help I could get, thanks.

AFAIK, sub-logins were removed from 11.0 as it could compromise security. This
is even though the man page on ftpd specify that sublogins are possible on 11.0

I had not heard of this, but it strikes me as a bad thing. I use sublogins to
enhance the security of anonymous ftp. Does anyone have more information on
this?

I have exactly the same problem migrating from HP-UX 10.20 to UX 11.
Now the Alcatel application, based on anonymous sub-logins, doesn't work on HP-UX 11 for a stupid problem; I say stupid because this is a loss of feature, the sub-logins was a way to add security to the anonymous FTP usage.
What is the answer of HP people?

Document ID KBRC00000642 (search the ITRC for ftp and anonymous) describes 'Workaround for FTP sublogins at 11.0'

Hope this is of some use.
