It has been tested on the following systems: Solaris 2.4 Sparc and x86, Solaris 2.5.1 x86, SunOS 4.1.4, Unixware 2.1, FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE, BSD/OS 1.1, BSD/OS 2.1, BSD/OS 3.0, SCO Open Server 5, Linux 1.3.39 and 2.0.X. I would like to hear from folks with access to HP-UX, Digital Unix, IRIX and AIX in particular. Please send mail to the wu-ftpd-bugs@academ.com address. If hardware companies wish to donate equipment running their proprietary UNIX derivatives to me for doing maintenance work on this and the other packages I maintain (NNTP, RN, etc), please contact me directly to discuss. If software companies that sell UNIX derivatives I don't to which I don't have access wish to donain copies of their UNIX derivative to me for the purposes of doing maintenace work on this and the other packages I maintain, please contact me directly to discuss. Finally, my thanks to Ian Willis with SCO for his assistance in reviewing pre-releases of this software. This is another release candidate.

This has to do with a description of the command line -o option. This has been fixed in this release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 430 from dangona@nist.gov, 433 from Bill Pemberton , 436 and 437 from John Simmons , 449 from Ole Holm Nielsen , 456 from Tim Evans , and 459 from Peter Newman pointed out a typo in fnmatch.c. This is now fixed. I also made changes to fnmatch.c to accomodate the lack of certain flag definitions on systems that claim to be POSIX compliant. These flags are not used by the current wu-ftpd server code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 431 from Marc Baudoin pointed out some configuration file problems when compling wu-ftpd on NetBSD. These changes are in this release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 432 from John Marshall has pointed out a problem in ftpcmd.y concerning correctly recognizing the PASS command in a non-case sensitive manner. This change has been installed in this release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 443 from Mark Bergman and 444 from Chuck Yerkes sent in a bug reports for skey. A fix is included in this release. It has been conditionalized since FreeBSD supports the old calling method. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 448 from Eilon Gishri reported some changes for AIX 4.1.X that would allow virutal hosting to work on AIX 4.1.X. These changes are included in this release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 454 from Jon Lewis and 455 from Simon Kirby were forwarded from the mailing list to address a problem with the new expired password support in beta-14. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 460 from Jay Vassos-Libove pointed out that there was a bug in the configuration file for BSD/OS, though he thought it was in the pathnames.h file. The correct fix has been included in this release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 463 from Koga Youichirou and 468 from Andrey A. Chernov pointed out that there was a bug in the configuration file for FreeBSD. The fix has been included in this release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 467 from Koga Youichirou pointed out that the s/key challange in wu-ftpd did not conform to RFC 1760. This has been fixed in this release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 469 from Andrey A. Chernov submitted some revisions for FreeBSD support of wu-ftpd. These are included in this release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ticket 470 from ener@firehouse.net pointed out a problem in the "NLST" command that could cause a system to eat up all memory and get sluggish. This could be seen as a Denial of Service attack. I have changed the software to detect this type of attack and not permit it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
