Does not show directories in folders without files in them, and often does not show even with files

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686) doing an ls does not list directories correctly. A source patch has been available for some time now and is available at the url given (The url to the fix should be good indication of the problem). This is in version 6.6.1-6 which is the version in RH 7 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.ftp to localhost (or anything running this) 2. Login 3. Issue an ls command Actual Results: Either No files if no files were there, or listed the files but no directories. Expected Results: Uh....duh...list everything without having to do an ls -l command to make the directories appear Uh....none required...this is a bug, which has even been acknowledged by the authors, and a fixed RPM should be distributed via the RHN up2date program.
No, it isn't. The patch just adds an option to emulate the broken behavior from older versions. See item 11.26 of the wu-ftpd FAQ (http://www.wu-ftpd.org/wu-ftpd-faq.html). We're not going to enable broken behavior by default.
