====================== = FTPD 2.x CHANGELOG = ====================== If upgrading from version 2.1A or earlier, please read the CAVEAT at the bottom of this file. Fixes in wu-ftpd-2.4 o removed some race conditions o fixed a spelling mistake o now uses sys/syslog.h on Ultrix systems Fixes in wu-ftpd-2.3 o renumbering to avoid confusing with trojan version Fixes in wu-ftpd-2.2 o fixed bug in path processing of SITE EXEC commands. o rewrote parts of private.c parsing routine. fixes problems with overloading definition of gid_t. o added support for class lists in separate file from UUNET o changed a couple of occurrences of stat() to lstat() in delete() and renamefrom() o changed #ifdef LOG_LOCAL7 to #ifdef FACILITY in ftpd.c Fixes in wu-ftpd-2.1f o fixed NeXT config problem with NGROUPS_MAX o fixed multiple response bug with ftp|anonymous in /etc/ftpusers file o fixed BUS ERROR on upload on Sun 4.1.x systems Fixes in wu-ftpd-2.1e o fixed class determination code from failing after failed attempt o moved ACCESS DENIED syslog messages to LOG_NOTICE from LOG_INFO o fixed problems with NFS and server running as root. o fixed problems with APPEND/OVERWRITE (thanks to J. Zawinski). o patched SCO files to work with 3.2.4 (thanks to E. Vopicka). o fixed problems with uid/gid's (hopefully for the last time...). o Changed upload examples in ftpaccess.5 to be correct. o allow for escaped #s in the ftpaccess file. (For path-filter, mostly). o hostacc.c patches by abe@vic.cc.purdue.edu. o ftpshut.c: fixed file open problem when shutdown not defined. o added acl_remove() to fix problems with dangling PIDs in PID files. o Fixed bug with real users > limit hanging clients. Fixes in wu-ftpd-2.1d o **lost** Fixes in wu-ftpd-2.1c o fixed stupid bug with non-initialized pointers in *_check() functions. Fixes in wu-ftpd-2.1b o Append now works again. A previous fix to solved files not getting 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. o ISC support added. o Added "rename " option to prevent renaming files. o Fixed unsigned int comparisons to -1 o added ckconfig program for checking proper locations of config files. o changed syntax of "upload" command to include which ftp hierarchy it pertains. o fixed some documentation bugs. 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 NEW syntax: upload The 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
