you possibly have the password file cached.  if you are on an HP box and
are running 'pwgrd', (ps -ef | grep pwgrd) the method you are attempting
will not work.

you can either discontinue pwgrd, or implement the '/./' hack.

non HP boxes have a different program that caches the password file, i'm
sure someone here can provide that name.

Hello,

I face some problem with the anonymous-root clause. It doesn't seem to work
as expected. I have the following entry in the ftpaccess file.

anonymous-root /home/ftp

The /home/ftp/etc/passwd file contains entry as follows:

ftp:*:500:10:anonymous ftp:/pub:/usr/bin/false

(I have ensured that ftpd reads the ftpaccess file)

What happens when I do ftp as anonymous user is that it leaves me in
/home/ftp (i.e; "/") and it doesn't place me in /pub ("/home/ftp/pub") as
expected. Is this a known bug? Or am I doing something wrong here? Here is
my complete ftpaccess file:

======================>
class   all   real,guest,anonymous  *

limit   all   10   Any              /etc/msgs/msg.dead

readme  README*    login
readme  README*    cwd=*

message /welcome.msg            login
message .message                cwd=*

compress        yes             all
tar             yes             all

log commands real
log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound

shutdown /etc/shutmsg

email user@hostname

anonymous-root /home/ftp
======================>

The entry in /etc/paswd file is as follows:

ftp:*:500:10:anonymous ftp:/home/ftp:/usr/bin/false

OS: HP-UX 11i
ftpd version: wu-ftpd 2.6.1

It would be of great help if somebody can throw some light in this regard.

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards,
Rajesh.
