Description of Problem: Hi I am trying to dissable AUTH authentication from wu-ftp $ man ftpd says "The -I option disables the use of RFC931 (AUTH/ident) to attempt to determine the username on the client." So I change to the following in /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd (and restarts xinetd) server_args = -l -a -I Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wu-ftpd-2.6.1-16.7x.1 (yepp, the one from the errata ) How Reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use ipchains and enable packet logging of AUTH packages (port 113) 2. ftp to ftpserver 3. take a look in /var/log/message on the ftpserver: Dec 20 12:59:27 localhost kernel: Packet log: output ACCEPT eth0 PROTO=6 myftpserver:35938 myclient:113 L=60 S=0x00 I=52407 F=0x4000 T=64 SYN (#2) Actual Results: wu-ftp sends AUTH packages even though I have dissabled it Expected Results: I don't excpect any AUTH packages to be sendt Additional Information: I was temporary confused since both wu-ftpd and krb5-workstation has a ftpd man page ("$man ftpd" gave me the one from krb5-workstation): $ rpm -ql krb5-workstation|grep ftpd /usr/kerberos/man/man8/ftpd.8.gz rpm -ql wu-ftpd|grep ftpd|grep man /usr/share/man/man8/ftpd.8.gz
Bug is also present on Red Hat 7.2 systems. (RPM wu-ftpd-2.6.1-20)
Please use vsftpd, wu-ftpd is not maintained anymore.
