wu-ftp problems after converting to trusted system

[William Harris_3]

i'm unable to sign on via ftp after converting to a trusted system. i'm trying to implement the use of a shadow password file.

i'm using wu-ftpd-2.6.2, compiled with SHADOW=1.

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks,

chris

You might want to just install the depot version from HP. HP dealt with these issues before building the binaries.

Click the Get for Free Link.

There is a binary upgrade to lay down on top of this release, to deal with the /etc/ftpusers file not blocking ftp access. that you have to get from HP support.

Or me.

It's important to note that HP's Trusted System is not a simple shadow password system so unless the WU-FTPD code has specifics for HP-UX Trusted database information, it will fail. Starting with patches around the year 2000, WU-FTPD became the standard FTP daemon but with code changes to handle HP-UX Trusted systems.
