I would like to thank Jordan for making this information public, and making available pointers to updated versions of ftpd that do not have these problems. Since I did not find a RedHat-4.2 compatible RPM of the latest "vr" release of wu-ftpd, I took the libery of making an updated ftpd RPM myself. This is a "quick and dirty" RPM, and does not, AFAIK, properly use PAM, and assumes that you are using a standard shadowed system. One advantage of this version of ftpd, in addition to fixing the long directory problem, is that /etc/ftpaccess actually works. RPMs of wu-ftpd-beta18-VR13 here: http://www.samiam.org/blackdragon Hopefully, RedHat will have some more PAM-friendly RPMs available soon for both 5.2 and 4.2 systems. - Sam
