I would say the first thing you're doing wrong is not installing the FTP
server that SUSE ships with their distribution: vsftpd.  If you look, you
will find a binary RPM for it somewhere on your installation CDs.

A lot of distributions have abandoned wu-ftp because it has had as many
security vulnerabilities as MS Windows.  Even such a staunch conservative as
Patrick Volkerding finally gave up on it.

Subject: wu-ftp install problem on s/390


Just downloaded wu-ftp 2.6.2 and trying to install on OS/390 SuSE 8.

Chose 'lnx' for ./build xxx
I get some 'incomplete type' messages and then when trying './build
install' says it could not find the target /bin/ftpd, guess this is
because it did not compile/link correctly. 'gcc' is installed and I even
specified "./build CC=gcc lnx"

I am proceeding with proftpd.

If any of you have successfully installed wu-ftpd, please tell me what I
am doing wrong.
