I apologize: I originally sent this mail while logged in as root; reply mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will not be deliverable.
>From the ftpd man page (netstd 3.07-7slink.3): ~ftp/etc Make this directory owned by ``root'' and unwritable by anyone (mode 511). The files pwd.db (see pwd_mkdb(8)) and group(5) must be present [...] pwd_mkdb is not installed on my machine. Any idea which package contains it? Is there another common utility for creating the .db file that ftpd wants? Thank you. Marc Mongeon
