Message-ID: <112079@mamnix.hamm.sub.org> Date: 21 Oct 90 12:03:47 GMT Distribution: comp Organization: MaMniX!, Hamm, FRG Lines: 19 the subject says it all :-) I'm running Xenix 2.3.3. Installing a user "ftp" makes Xenix TCP responsing to a "guest account". You can login, but you can't do anything because /dev/socketsys always reports an open error on 0.0.0.0,20 . I created the user as follows: ftp::1077:4:Anonymous FTP Login:/usr/spool/uucppublic:/bin/true /bin/true as a shell logs every normal login instandly out. Maybe I must use a special shell ??? Please reply via mail, 'cause I'm normally too busy to read this group regulary. cu mam -- Michael A.
