I am trying to fix a bug with the ftpd on an RT running AOS. 

Background:

The daemon drops the connection to a user when they issue the "dir" command
to their ftp (which issues the LIST ftpd command).  But, if they use
"ls" (NLST) then all goes well.  LIST tries to do a "/bin/ls -lg", while
NLST does a "/bin/ls".

My solution was to make LIST act just like NLST, to see if the problem would
clear up.  So I edited the ftpcmd.y command in the sources and tried to make
ftpd.

Now the fun part started:  the compiler complained (horribly) that many
function where being used with either too many args or too few args.  These
were all warnings, so it finished compiling, but the program would
not work (as one might expect).  The binary was about half as big as the
current binary, leading me to believe that the binary IBM furnished didn't
come from the source code.

So what I need is:

1) a fix to our initial problem

or

2) source code that will compile 

If anyone has any ideas, solutions, etc.  please give me a holler.

Thanks,
