I am experiencing difficulty in installing BABYftp server.
I have cpp source code downloaded from net.
I am following the instructions in readme file.
The command to run is
autoconf && ./configure && make

but it is giving me error (last four lines) as-

checking security/pam_appl.h usability... no
checking security/pam_appl.h presence... no
checking for security/pam_appl.h... no
configure: error: PAM headers not found.

Why is such error occuring?

Also is there any command like sudo apt-get install <package_name> for babyftp?

Thanks in advance.

I dont know why do you babyftp server when you can use VSftp server.

Hi,

Since you miss the pam headers, you need to install the libpam0g-dev package

Regards

I want to crash it using peach fuzzer. Someone told me that it is easiest to crash. Hence trying it.

Thanks.
That error is resolved. But now two more errors are introduced.

Utilities.h: In member function ‘bool Utilities::eqstr:perator()(const char*, const char*)’:
Utilities.h:41: error: ‘strcmp’ was not declared in this scope
make[1]: *** [Connection.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/umesh/Desktop/B.tech_project/softwares/babyftpd-0.2a'
make: *** [all] Error 2

These headers are driving me crazy!
Can you suggest me some other link to get source code? I tried a lot but I am getting executable files for windows. Nothing for linux.

Thanks in Advance!

I don't know from where did you get the source code and the instructions to compile it, but it looks like BabyFTP is a windows application, so it won't compile in linux

The link from which i got source code specified that 'this is not completely developed code but still it will work'.
Now it seems that i have to switch to windows...

Thanks.
