   I transferred the wu-ftpd package in order to install an anonymous FTP
server. I compiled it, anon FTP works fine, but normal users ar unable to
use the ftp service.

   We have a decstation 5000/133 with ultrix 4.2A, at UPGRADE SECURITY LEVEL.
I think that the security level causes problems, but I could not find any
useful information.
   I have done the following:
1. Changed the src/config.h file as:
/*#undef  ULTRIX_AUTH*/
#define ULTRIX_AUTH

2. Edited the src/Makefile, to make sure that I have:

LAUTH    = -lauth
ftpd: ${OBJS} ${LIBC}
      ${CC} ${CFLAGS} -o $@ ${OBJS} ${LIBES} ${LAUTH}

        My operating system still gives any
user trying to ftp to their own account this error message:
530 Login incorrect
Login failed

I have this line in my inetd.conf file:
ftp    stream  tcp     nowait  /usr/local/etc/ftpd     ftpd -a
        Anybody with any suggestions?
        Thanks in advance.
        Terry
