or addresses other than the requestor's address. This violates the FTP
protocol (hmm...as I write this, I'm going to change this to a run-time var.)
Require login before PASV and RNTO commands.
Close unused PASV ports so they don't hang around forever.
Do not allow file overwrites via rename or STOR when anonymous
(suspenders).
Clean up buffer utilization.
My code, but heavily inspired by Hobbit's changes to wu-ftpd as pointed out
by Mike Prettejohn and Kit Knox.
accepting connections on the FTP port and forking children processes to
handling them. This is lower overhead than spawning ftpd from inetd and
can be a significant win on busy FTP servers. Be sure to disable ftpd in
inetd.conf if you decide to use this option.
These changes are based on similar changes I made to wu-ftpd and have
been in use on wcarchive for several months.
- set TCP_NOPUSH to keep from sending short packets at each write(2) boundary
- set SO_SNDBUF to 64k so we have a reasonable amount of buffer space
- for a regular file in binary mode which is not being restarted and is
. smaller than 16 Meg, use mmap(2) and write(2) the whole file in one big
gulp
In the most common circumstances, this should dramatically reduce the
system-call load from ftpd, since the call to write() will not return until
the entire file has been written, rather than writing just a few K at a time
in a loop.
libskey contains references to _crypt and can't resolve it unless
-lcrypt occurs after it in the link command. This only occurs when
linking statically.
(as is printing out a version number at the telnet login banner).
Don't print out /etc/motd when people login, instead if present,
print out /etc/ftpmotd. It looks like 4.4lite2 has done something similar
(perhaps for different reasons) because /etc/motd no longer shows up
on vangogh.
Folks who like the old behavior can create a symbolic link to motd.
