I successfully installed the wuarchive ftpd, and had it working for a  
day and a half, only to have it break not long after attempting to  
install a wais server (wais-8.b4).  The welcome banner (banner.msg)  
displayed when someone ftp's to my machine is displayed but after the  
user enters a userid (anonymous or whatever), a message is returned  
saying the service is not available.  I really really need the  
logging and message capabilities of this daemon for a project I am  
working on.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a file called ftpaccess, which should be placed correctly (e.g.  
/etc ) AND should contain the correct entries that match your situation.  
Especially the line

class	local	real,anonymous nobugs friday nanno xxx.xxx.xxx.* 0.0.0.0

is important for users to gain access. Replace the xxx.xxx.xxx with the  
site part of your internet address and everything should work fine.
