Description Bertil Askelid 2001-10-26 12:02:47 EDT

Description of Problem:

~> \ftp ftp.zedz.net
Connected to ftp.zedz.net.
/usr/libexec/ld.so: in.ftpd: libwrap.so.1.1: No such file or directory
Name (ftp.zedz.net:bertil): anonymous
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
Login failed.
No control connection for command: No such file or directory
ftp>

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ftp-0.17-7

How Reproducible:

This happens for the ftp.zedz.net site when it is down. Then it quickly
responds most of the time with 

	421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

but sometimes it doesn't and let you in to a login prompt. At those times,
the libwrap.so.1.1 presence is requested.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ftp ftp.zedz.net
2. 
3.

Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-10-30 07:31:18 EST

This is a bug in the server, not the client.
We don't ship libwrap, and never did.

My take of what's happening:

The ftp server machine is out of file handles, therefore it can't open all 
libraries ftpd is linked to (on the server machine), causing this error 
message. Since ftpd is run through (x)inetd, the message ends up on the 
client's screen rather than somewhere on the server.
