Hi !

I have now tried for some time to get the wu-ftpd (wu-ftpd-2.6.1) to work
under DU V 5.1 and c2 security.
It is just impossible to login via ftp. The ftp prompt keeps showing the
following error message:


Fancy_host1# ftp my_workstation
Connected to my_workstation.
220 my_workstation FTP server (Version wu-2.6.0(2) Wed Mar 14 10:26:56 MET
2001) ready.
Name (my_workstation:my_account): test_account
331 Password required for test_account
Password: <PASSWORD>
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
ftp>

The fptd seems to attempt to read passwords from the /etc/passwd, which
under c2 security have moved to a different location ("shadowed passwords").

Newletters on the WEB suggest that some SWITCHES should be added to the
configuration files before compiling the wu-ftpd.

Could somebody please describe the correct installation procedure on a Alpha
Server with
DU V 5.1 under c2 security ?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best wishes,
