Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Strange. I wanted on the fly compression like wcarchive does, so I stuck compress, tar and gzip in /usr/ftp/usr/bin, then chmod 111 them. I changed /usr/local/etc/ftpconversions to reflect the chroot() binaries. It works. Great. But, how? They are supposed to dynamically linked! Do they inherit ftpd's libc and work that way or is it some sort of kernel thing that isn't supposed to be that way or am I somewhat dazed and confused? Now a sleepless night turns into a sleepless day. ======================================================================== Thomas J Balfe tbalfe@tioga.com President http://www.tioga.com/ Tioga Communications, Inc 814-867-4770 ======================================================================== "Humanity has been compared...to a sleeper who handles matches in his sleep and wakes to find himself in flames." - H.G.
