Hi, I'm trying to adapt the ftpd-logging daemon to the RS/6000's AIX.  The
compile works file (with little change and specific compilation options), but
once started, after logging in the system, I get the message
"Can't set uid.".

So, just to try I changed the seteuid to setuid, and I logged successfully to
the system's ftp server but... no more possibility to execute a commande
(such as dir or ls): "Unable to open data socket: permission denied".

Can anyone help me in modifying the source code so that it works correclty?
