ahh...that mystical /etc/ftponly 'shell'...let me know if you find it! I had 2.6.0 installed...could never get the guest user to work right under mandrake...'can't set guest privileges' was always returned and I got logged out, locally and remotely. Then I learned of the buffer overflow exploit in 2.6.0 and upgraded by compiling the source for 2.6.1(3) and now if any user but a "real user" logs in, meaning anonymous or guest, wu-ftpd seg faults...I've even un-installed it via RPMgr and compiled and re-installed the old-fashioned way...same results. Wu-ftpd works fine with Redhat, Slack, and FreeBSD on my machine, but my mandrake 7.1 machine just simply gives me headaches with it. And all my scripts are fine...anyone know if this is a mandrake issue? I'm sure there's a good contingent that will say it's a user issue...but I'm not so sure.
