Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:38:01 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. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
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.
