Hello:

I am attempting to set up an AFS FTP server utilising Solaris 2.5.1 as a
base operating system. Unfortunately, it seems that I cannot create the
necessary device files using mknod (/dev/zero /dev/tcp /dev/udp
/dev/ticotsord) in AFS for this to work properly. I want to create an
ftp area where all of my users can add files for download and anonymous
users can upload files, and AFS space would be the ideal. I have
compiled various alternatives, such as beroftp & wu-ftpd, but they all
have the same problem as the ftpd program that comes with AFS: they
'chroot' to the 'ftp' user directory (which excludes links to device
files on the local disk from AFS and excludes links to AFS from the
local disk if moving the ftp user directory to the local disk). Has
anyone else set this up properly under Solaris to be able to provide me
with the procedure?

Thanks,
-Jim
