| Re .3:
The code for the old DFWS ftp proxy is in the old DFWS kit which is in the
private area on morse. The modifications required are given in the previous
note.
As for your other question, of course it doesn't work with the AFWU reporting
and alarm mechanism. It also doesn't in any way interact with the AFWU GUI, nor
does it use the AFWU ACL files.
If you use it, you'll have to do the whole of the ftp part of an old-style DFWS
installation, and you better make sure that your customer understands all these
limitations or there'll be no end of trouble afterwards.

| Re .3 & .4:
Ross,
Tony is right (unfortunately).
This comes from the DFWS kit, not DFWU (or nowadays AVFU).
One of the reasons I did post the code was to show (again) to
engineering how easy it is... (sorry I couldn't resist).
Patching the AVFU ftpxd can not be done by us (without source code that
is).

| 1728.6 | ftpxd with port 20 and non-privileged | ANNECY::CHATEL_M | | Mon Jan 27 1997 03:37 | 22 |
| For those who are source code-minded, here is some extra information.
It is also feasible to build an ftpxd that:
1) drops privilege and chroots permanently after startup
(but it must start as root)
AND
2) uses port 20 (privileged!) for each new FTP data connection
that it creates
It is not much more work than Frank's modifications, but you cannot
do this with ftpxd on its own. You need an extra program
that can "bind" privileged UDP and TCP ports on behalf of other
processes. Such a program is included free, with source code,
in the S4 kit distribution, and is called "privportd".
