RE: [Maybe Spam] Re: [tbox-l] wu-ftp issue

[<DSa...@us...>]

Dear David,

Thank you for your info.  Another question if I may - the FTPX vendor =
says
that this build of WU-FTPD doesn't interpret the SYST command properly, =
i.e
returning:

215 UNKNOWN Type: L8

Instead of the proper:

215 UNIX Type: L8

Have you heard of this before, and would you have any advice?

Do any of the four patches have anything to do with this problem?  How =
are
these patches applied?

Thank you,

Diane Saddler

Dianne,

You can see the "spec" file from which wu-ftpd was built, at:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/SPECS/wu-ftpd-2.6=
.2-4
.spec

And for source patches that were needed, you can find them in:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/PATCHES

The source was built from the code downloaded from =
http://www.wu-ftpd.org/.
The building of wu-ftpd just followed the typical "configure" and =
"make"
pattern.  The guts of the build from the spec-file are this:

############
export CFLAGS=3D"$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -D_LARGE_FILES -D_AIX42 -DAIX"

./configure --prefix=3D%{prefix} --sysconfdir=3D/etc =
--with-etc-dir=3D/etc
perl -pi -e "s/L_FORMAT \"d/L_FORMAT \"lld/g" src/config.h
make
############

Where %{prefix} equals "/opt/freeware".

No features were explicitly turned on or off.  I don't see anything in
the configure help that refers to "FTP Explorer", but you can take a =
look
yourself.  Most packages here are built with mostly default values, but
perhaps there's some other option available that has what you are =
looking
for.
