WU-FTPD 2.6.2
Washington University ftp daemon - wuftpd.org
Wuarchive-ftpd, more affectionately known as wu-ftpd, is a replacement
ftp daemon for Unix systems developed at Washington University (*.wustl.edu)
by Bryan D. O'Connor. (who is no longer working on it or supporting
it!) wu-ftpd is the most popular ftp daemon on the Internet, used on
many anonymous ftp sites all around the world.
Configured and built for IRIX 6.x by Jeff
Hanson
Use of wu-ftpd requires the following changes/additions -
-
The ftpd line in /etc/inetd.conf needs to be changed. A typical
6.5 system has the following
ftp stream tcp
nowait root /usr/etc/ftpd ftpd -l
To enable logging change this to
ftp stream tcp
nowait root /usr/freeware/wuftpd/sbin/in.ftpd
ftpd -l
To use the ftpaccess file (see the man page and the sample /usr/freeware/wuftpd/etc/ftpaccess)
change to
ftp stream tcp
nowait root /usr/freeware/wuftpd/sbin/in.ftpd
ftpd -l -a
-
The file /usr/freeware/wuftpd/etc/shells must contain all the
shells that ftp users can have. Suggested contents are
/bin/csh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/sh
/bin/ksh
/bin/bsh
-
The file /usr/freeware/wuftpd/etc/ftpusers should contain all the userids
that are not permitted access to the ftp daemon. IRIX 6.5 has this file
in /etc and it could be copied or linked. Suggested contents based
on 6.5 are
root
sysadm
diag
daemon
bin
uucp
sys
adm
lp
nuucp
sgiweb
rfindd
EZsetup
nobody
