Additions o Merge in the virtual passwd/virtual shadow features of BeroFTPD. Corrections o Fix up the port-allow command in ftpaccess. o Some fixes to the configure script. o Fix documentation of data-limit. Errata o On Tru64 systems with C2 security enabled, real users cannot login. This problem is being worked on. ########################################################################### The PGP signing key for the WU-FTPD Development Group is available from: ftp://ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd/PGP.public.key with MD5 sum 6fc6f7279f833327017bbc3b6e753c96 PGP.public.key ########################################################################### The primary distribution site for the WU-FTPD daemon is: ftp://ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd/ Mirrors are available at the following sites: Australia - --------- ftp://ftp.auscert.org.au/pub/mirrors/ftp.wu-ftpd.org/ ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/wu-ftpd/ http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/wu-ftpd/ Austria - ------- ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/infosys/servers/ftp/wu-ftpd/ http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/infosys/servers/ftp/wu-ftpd/ Canada - ------ ftp://ftp.crc.ca/pub/packages/ftp/servers/wuarchive-ftpd-dg/ Chile - ----- (REUNA) ftp://ftp.inf.utfsm.cl/pub/archive-tools/wu-ftpd/ Estonia - ------- ftp://ftp.ut.ee/pub/unix/networking/wu-ftpd/ Germany - ------- ftp://ftp.dpn.de/pub/mirrors/wu-ftpd/ ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/mirror/wu-ftpd/ ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/ ftp://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/pub/netsoftware/ftp/wu-ftpd/ Greece - ------ ftp://ftp.hol.gr/pub/packages/wu-ftpd/ Hungary - ------- ftp://ftp.ahol.com/pub/mirrors/wu-ftpd/ ftp://ftp.kfki.hu/pub/infosystems/wu-ftpd/ Iceland - ------- ftp://ftp.gm.is/pub/wu-ftpd/ Ireland - ------- ftp://ftp.medianet.ie/mirrors/ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd/ Israel - ------ ftp://ftp.tau.ac.il/pub/unix/ftp/wu-ftpd/ Japan - ----- Ring Server Project ------------------- ftp://ftp.ring.gr.jp/pub/net/wu-ftpd/ http://www.ring.gr.jp/archives/net/wu-ftpd/ ftp://ring.aist.go.jp/pub/net/wu-ftpd/ http://ring.aist.go.jp/archives/net/wu-ftpd/ ftp://ring.asahi-net.or.jp/pub/net/wu-ftpd/ http://ring.asahi-net.or.jp/archives/net/wu-ftpd/ ftp://ring.so-net.ne.jp/pub/net/wu-ftpd/ http://ring.so-net.ne.jp/archives/net/wu-ftpd/ ftp://ring.nacsis.ac.jp/pub/net/wu-ftpd/ http://ring.nacsis.ac.jp/archives/net/wu-ftpd/ ftp://ring.etl.go.jp/pub/net/wu-ftpd/ http://ring.etl.go.jp/archives/net/wu-ftpd/ Other Japan sites ----------------- ftp://ftp.win.ne.jp/pub/network/wu-ftpd/ ftp://mirror.nucba.ac.jp/mirror/wu-ftpd/ http://mirror.nucba.ac.jp/mirror/wu-ftpd/ ftp://ftp.cin.nihon-u.ac.jp/pub/net/ftp/wu-ftpd-vr/ ftp://ftp.riken.go.jp/pub/net/wu-ftpd/ http://SunSITE.sut.ac.jp/pub/archives/packages/wu-ftpd/ ftp://SunSITE.sut.ac.jp/pub/archives/packages/wu-ftpd/ Norway - ------ ftp://ftp.bitcon.no/pub/unix/networking/wu-ftpd/ http://archive.bitcon.no/pub/unix/networking/wu-ftpd/ Poland - ------ ftp://ftp.task.gda.pl/pub/unix/ftp/wu-ftpd-vr/ ftp://giswitch.sggw.waw.pl/pub/unix/wu-ftpd/ Spain - ----- ftp://ftp.upc.es/pub/wu-ftpd/ Sweden - ------ ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/nir/ftp/servers/wuarchive-ftpd/ http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/nir/ftp/servers/wuarchive-ftpd/ Switzerland - ----------- ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/wu-ftpd/ Taiwan - ------ ftp://ftp.nchu.edu.tw/pub/packages/wu-ftpd/ http://pds.nchu.edu.tw/pub/packages/wu-ftpd/ ftp://coda.nctu.edu.tw/pub/UNIX/wu-ftpd/ Turkey - ------ ftp://ftp.ulak.net.tr/pub/wu-ftpd/ http://ftp.ulak.net.tr/pub/wu-ftpd/ United Kingdom - -------------- ftp://sunsite.org.uk/Mirrors/ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/ http://sunsite.org.uk/Mirrors/ftp.vr.net/pub/wu-ftpd/ ftp://ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/comp/security/COAST/mirrors/ftp.vr.net/ ftp://ftp.plig.org/pub/wu-ftpd/ United States - ------------- New York -------- ftp://ftp.academy.rpi.edu/pub/wu-ftpd/ Ohio ---- ftp://ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd/ Texas ----- ftp://ftp.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd.org/ http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5 iQCVAwUBOV7ZaA7NCCRiiFh1AQEMUgP/d7I8WrYFgNFnOtDiV7SocdmmsQvctz+Y S056gQbrq/q2BJr2b8/NxuWHCAS3LSHIId4CWKEokS51MgEYfx7cFrx6rGNT/yLN 8rCEMDsZVWhf6oZ+jFAfo3eBf/ANH0tAF72AbF10rQbJIqKcrAJygqv4ltk+T6zY m1tokVRdyGc= =Vqn4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
