wu-ftp help with chroot - ls command does not execute
 

not sure what is wrong with the FTP setup. Here are some details:

RH7.2
wu-ftp Version wu-2.6.1-18

Referened http://www.wu-ftpd.org/HOWTO/guest.HOWTO & http://www.redhat.com/support/resour.../guestftp.html when setting up the service.

I am able to login fine. Updated the .messages file to verify the correct ftpaccess was being used.

The problem is with the ls command (haven't tested all of the commands), it just hangs and the prompt does not come back. I have to ^Z out of it and kill the process because I am unable to get commands to work.
- the ?, cd, and pwd commands work
- dir and ls do not work
- checked the ls command from telnet, and it works correctly

searched the wu-ftp & linuxquestions forums and did not find anything.

Any ideas?

:jawa:

do you have a bin and lib directory? in the bin directory of the chrooted location there should be ls, so for /example-root
this would be:

/example-root/bin/ls
/example-root/lib/libtermcap.so.2
/example-root/lib/libc.so.6
/example-root/lib/ld-linux.so.2

and since ls requires some shared libs ... which ones it requires can be found out by doing a

Yep, there is a bin and lib dir.

======================


check on libs required by ls:
======================

[root@myhost lib]# ldd /bin/ls
libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2 (0x40033000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x40037000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)


Those are all covered in the ~ftpguest/lib dir unless the link for libc.s0.6 isn't good enough. BTW, the lib in i686 is also a link: libc.so.6 -> libc-2.2.4.so
