Well I received two messages.

ftpd is invoked in inetd.conf with:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/tcpd /usr/local/bin/ftpd ftpd -a

so it looks good. Even tried "/usr/local/bin/ftpd -d -a" without success
(no log in xferlog).

I've compiled wu-ftpd-2.6.1
./configure --with-etc-dir=/usr/local/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/etc
Modified Makefile: prefix=/usr/local/wu-ftpd-2.6.1
make
make install
Copied ftpacces ftpconversions etc... in /usr/local/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/etc

>ls -l /usr/local/bin/ftpd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 37 Mar 6 17:17 /usr/local/bin/ftpd -> /usr/local/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/sbin/in.ftpd

ckconfig tells all is ok.

But I get same troubles:

- No more log in xferlog
- No read of any message while "cd" through directories (.message,
  msg.toomany, welcome.msg...)
- No more "chroot" for guestgroup - guestgroup users can navigate
  anywhere !

and even more:
- it seems that ftpconversions is not read (for example we are
now unable to get <directory>.tar), nor ftpaccess
- ftp.pids* are not changed
- ftpcount, ftpwho always give 0 users (local or remote) when
users are connected.

I definitively think that config files are not read, but why ?

Thanks in advance,
