Obviously Debian didn't do it; otherwise this wouldn't be an issue on this mailing list. I don't recall the base ftpd setup ever prompting me about setting up anonymous ftp. I believe the users that were having problems with setting up anonymous ftp were not using wu-ftpd. They were using the base ftpd daemon. As such, they probably had to set it up manually. However, in agreement with what you said, installing the wu-ftpd package did set up the appropriate ~ftp subdirectories. I did notice one thing about the libs. Why is the hamm wu-ftpd package installing libc5 instead of libc6? All of the binaries (ls, tar, gzip and in.ftpd) are linked against libc6 so why are the libc5 and ld-linux-1 libraries installed in ~ftp/lib by the package? Also, there were conflicts with the netstd ftpd man page that didn't allow me to install the package. To make it work I had to force the install with dpkg. I had similar problems when installing glibc-dev-2.0.7pre1-2. There was a conflict with ndbm.h from the libgdbm1-dev package (which is obsolete). I had to uninstall libgdbm1-dev before it worked. This is no problem but it is an inconvenience. Does anyone know if this issue is being addressed? Bo was the first Debian distribution that I used, and I never experienced this problem with bo. Of course, I do understand that hamm is still considered unstable. -Ossama -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
