- o fixed stupid bug with non-initialized pointers in *_check() functions.
-
- Fixes in wu-ftpd-2.1b

- truncated properly had broken it.
- o Double conversions were not working properly for some conversions.
- o Minor HP-UX portability problems corrected.
- o Minor Host Access case sensitivity bug fixed.
- o syslog after chroot fixed for SunOS by addition of TCP version of
- syslog functions. (it is syslog.c in the support directory)
- o Data General support added.

- pertains.

-
- Fixes in wu-ftpd-2.1a
- o tabs were put back into the Makefiles for aix.
- o acl_join() did not open the pid file is pidfd was invalid.
- o acl_join() did not unlock the pid file if user was already in there.
-
- Fixes in wu-ftpd-2.1
- o xferstats: updated version written by Dave Datta. (datta@cs.uwp.edu)
- o upload: default was to not allow uploads ever. This is backwards, if
- no upload keywords are given, it should act like a normal server.
- o double conversion: double conversion stuff works now... but you know that
- already. Included is a gzip2comp (in util) for converting from
- gzip format to compress.
- o cwd_beenhere(): now calls realpath(".", cwd) to figure out the path.
- This works for people in directories that are private. That
- is that some component of their path is not readable by them.
- (cwdir() fails in such a case.)
- o upload: trying to set a file mode of 0000 would fail. This is now
- possible.
- o makedir: Did not work properly for real users. This has also been
- fixed.
- o fixed up support for NeXT and other systems. I can not test these things,
- so there are bound to be problems.
- o getgrent.c: removed the need for getgrent.c from the support library.
- This caused problems with systems running yellow pages (NIS).
- All gids in the private file are now parsed before the chroot().
- This gives us one less open file descriptor.
- o upload/truncate: STORE was not properly trunctating files when
- overwriting them.
- o upload failing with directories in makedir/put commands: STORE and
- MAKEDIR were failing when giving full path names.
- o process ids: multiple process ids were written into the pid-files when
- a failed login attempt was made. This caused problems with
- usage counts.
- o %E magic cookie: the %E cookie gets replaced with the "email" string
- from the ftpaccess file.
- o %F magic cookie: added trivial support for Solaris 2.1 (at least).
- If you fix this for your system, send me a patch.
- o %N magic cookie: did not work after the chroot(). The pid file has
- to remain open for the duration of the server's life now in
- order for this to work.
- o support/paths.h: removed the need for this file. It caused more
- problems than it was worth. The two #defines that were used
- were moved to src/pathnames.h
- o upload * no dirs: you can now specify a directory that does not allow
- uploads but does allow the creation of directories.
- o alias list: you can now get a listing of what aliases are available.
- at the ftp prompt type "quote site alias".
- o cdpath: you can now specify a cdpath (like the csh variable).
- o email: you can specify an email address for the maintainer of the
- archive. This string will be used for the %E magic cookie.
-
- ==========
- = CAVEAT =
- ==========
-
- There has been a change in the syntax of the "upload" keyword in the
- ftpaccess file.
-
- OLD syntax: upload <dir glob> <yes|no> <user> <group> <dirs|nodirs>
- NEW syntax: upload <hierarchy> <dir glob> <yes|no> <user> <group> <dirs|nodirs>
-
- The <hierarchy> argument is the ftp hierarchy that the upload command
- now applies to. This allows for the "upload" keyword to be used by
- guest and anonymous users, instead of just anonymous.
-
- To migrate your < 2.1A ftpaccess to 2.1B or greater, just add the home
- directory of the ftp account to each upload line.
-
- For example:
- ftp:*:10000:31:FTP user:/home/ftp:/bin/true
-
- [2.1A ftpaccess]
- upload * yes
- upload /bin/* no
- upload /etc/* no
- upload /incoming* yes bryan onc 0644 nodirs
-
- [2.1B or greater ftpaccess]
- upload /home/ftp * yes
- upload /home/ftp /bin/* no
- upload /home/ftp /etc/* no
- upload /home/ftp /incoming* yes bryan onc 0644 nodirs
-
