I discovered in a smilar situation on a Solaris ftpd that if I typed "ls" it failed, but "dir" it worked. Also, some ftp clients worked and some didn't. The problem was that "dir" used the internal ls, but "ls" was an alias for "ls -l", and that caused the ftpd to try and run the (non-existent) chroot'd /bin/ ls, even though it had INTERNAL_LS defined. I assume a similar problem could cause the same behaviour on FreeBSD. Greg. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
