As I e-mailed earlier, running ldd on /bin/ls (i.e: ldd /bin/ls) should give you the names of all the shared libraries to which ls is linked. Just copy those libraries to there corresponding ~ftp directories. I had this library problem when I set up my first anonymous ftp server, however I always got errors complaining about the loader being unable to find some shared libraries. When I copied the libraries listed in the ldd output to their corresponding ~ftp/lib and ~ftp/usr/lib directories it stopped complaining. I've never tried a Linux anonymous ftp server. Our Solaris servers needed the following devices before we got any output from ls: ~ftp/dev/: tcp ticlts ticotsord udp zero The only similar character device that Debian seems to have /dev/zero. Perhaps creating /dev/zero in the ~ftp/dev directory will help. I really don't think that Linux needs any such devices but if you're in the mood to experiment, try the following: spaz> ls -l /dev/zero crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 1, 5 Oct 12 14:38 /dev/zero .....notice the 1 and the 5, make sure you use the numbers that are on your /dev/zero, then: spaz> mknod ~ftp/dev/zero c 1 5 spaz> chmod 666 ~ftp/dev/zero This should create a character device called "zero" with major 1 and minor 5, in my case, in ~ftp/dev. Don't try to copy the device. You have to create it using mknod. Again, I don't know if Linux systems need this. The Debian wu-ftpd package doesn't seem to need any such device based on the way dpkg installed wu-ftpd on my Debian system. On the non-Linux systems I have installed anonymous ftp servers, I just used the system ftp daemon or the OPIE one time password ftp daemon (BSD derived). I don't know what else to tell you. Of course, I'll try to be of help if I can. -Ossama -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
