SUMMARY: Re: Anonymous Ftp Server Setup

Thanks to Lieven Marchand, I was able to get this to work.  The following is the fix for this problem that Lieven suggested:

I copied all the following lib's into my /ftp/usr/lib dir. and everything worked as expected.

It might be that in the remote case it's trying to resolve your ip
adress to a name and is missing the libraries. Here is an ls of all
the libs I've copied in my ftp dir

[50] root@tpi-gen:/opt/ftp/usr/lib# ls  
ld.so             libintl.so        libw.so           nss_nis.so
ld.so.1           libintl.so.1      libw.so.1         nss_nis.so.1
libc.so           libnsl.so         nss_dns.so        nss_nisplus.so
libc.so.1         libnsl.so.1       nss_dns.so.1      nss_nisplus.so.1
libdl.so          libsocket.so      nss_files.so      straddr.so
libdl.so.1        libsocket.so.1    nss_files.so.1    straddr.so.2

Thanks again,
