Original problem: Couldn't get 'ls' to work for ftp in chrooted environment.

Thanks to the following for responding.

Casper got it right. I had brain farted and forgot to verify that the
partition wasn't mounted with the 'nosuid' option. (ie for clarity. the
partion must allow setuid for the devices to work) Ahh, the heat of battle!

>"Did you mount ~ftp nosuid (if so, then don't: nosuid also disables
>devices)"

As far as the following. Actually building this is fairly involved but one
may see:
http://www.wins.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2/Q6.24.html for more info.
Although there is a procedure that works for Solaris 2.6, which I wasn't
sure last night would work on Solaris 7. See:
http://www.wildheart.org/wu-ftpd/ or the Sun Manager Archives.

One reply stated that this may be important. I thought so as well, but
this file doesn't actually exist and a 'truss /bin/ls -l' also gives this
statement with no adverse affects. So who knows?

> 25788: open("/usr/platform/SUNW,SPARCstation-10/lib/libc_psr.so.1",
> O_RDONLY) Err#2 ENOENT

And yes Steve, I did check the man page for ftpd as was stated in my
original post.
>Have you ever checked man ftpd on Solaris 7?

Thanks again all.

The manual said, "NT4 or better," so I installed Solaris.
