This is the source:
/* find out who is calling */
if(argc < 1)
nci = getnetconninfo(nil, 0);
else
nci = getnetconninfo(argv[argc-1], 0);
if(nci == nil)
sysfatal("ftpd needs a network address");
getnetconninfo() returns nil on various locations, but as you mentioned cpurc,
if(dir == nil || *dir == 0){
if(fd2path(fd, path, sizeof(path)) < 0)
return nil;
fd2path(2):
Changes to the underlying name space do not update the path
name stored with the file descriptor. Therefore, the path
returned by fd2path may no longer refer to the same file (or
indeed any file) after some component directory or file in
the path has been removed, renamed or rebound.
So you don't start ftpd with extra parameters I assume, so where is ftpd
started (path-wise, ns-wise, term/cpurc-wise...)?
Just guessing,
