Hi,

I am working on getting wu-ftp configured for anonymous use. I used
the ftpaccess.minimal that was provided with BSDI 2.0 is my starting
point. Everything works except when I add log directives to the
ftpaccess file. When I do this, after one file is uploaded, it will
core dump. If I REM it out everything works.

Here is how I I start ftpd in the inetd.conf:

ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/libexec/ftpd -l -a -u771
          

Here are the lines(either) in ftpaccess that cause the crash:

#log commands real
#log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound

I was wondering if maybe it was trying to write into a directory
structure that didn't exist or somthing like that. the man page for
ftpaccess doesn't say where it writes the log.

Thanks for any help,
I will attach my full ftpaccess file to the end of this message.
