Hello,

Has anyone been able to port the wuarchive ftpd v2.1?  If so could you
pass me the patches (if any).

I've been trying the last couple of days in my spare time to get the
wuarchive ftp server ported to *BSD.  The source compiles, but when you
goto login to the ftp server it doesn't recognize any passwords for valid
users.  I've got the files setup correctly (using the ftpd on other UNIX
system) for "ftpaccess", etc, but nothing seems to work.  Compiled the source
using the included BSD/386 makefile/config and also with the generic
makefile/config tuned for the *BSD systems.  Neither worked, same error.

I remember awhile back that someone ported the v2.0 ftpd and placed it
on ref.  Since ref is gone, and the "from-ref" section doesn't seem to have
the ftpd pactches, could someone tell me where to get them?

Many thanks!

Take care,

-Rich
