- I have just built and installed the latest ftpd from wustl. It
- works well except for a few omissions. When a user enters his/her
- name/userid at the first prompt, two lines are added to the file
- /var/adm/messages that look like:
- Jul 27 17:12:18 hermes ftpd[4924]: open of pid file failed: No such file or directory
- Jul 27 17:12:18 hermes ftpd[4924]: open of pid file failed: No such file or directory
-
- When the user logs in, I want the file /etc/msgs/welcome.msg to be
- displayed, but it's not happening. When the user cd's to the /pub
- directory, the .message file *IS* being displayed. I'm using the
- /usr/local/etc/ftpaccess file almost straight out of the box. Two
- sample lines read:
- message /etc/msgs/welcome.msg login
- message .message cwd=*
-
- I changed the line in /etc/inetd.conf to read:
- ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/ftpd ftpd -d -l -a
- and did a "kill -1" on inetd.
-
- So far as I can tell, I'm not getting any notification when someone
- starts an ftp session to my machine, but I can tell when they
- "get" a file.
-
- Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or where to look?
- I appreciate any help.
