Fellow System Managers:
We switched to using ENHANCED SECURITY for our Tru64 Version 5.1a host and
were unable to complete an ftp login into the system which uses the
Washington University FTP (version 2.6.2) server daemon application. Per
notes in their FAQ, I attempted to rebuild to include enhanced security
support but was still unable to complete an ftp login. I modified the
Makefile.du4 and Makefile.dec makefiles to hopefully accomplish the changes,
but I was unsuccessful in changing the
behavior. Below are the relevant links:

FAQ about security
The main advantage to this version of FTP is that we can control the guest
user's view of the system. In other words, their home directory will appear
as the root directory and they can't navigate outside their directory.
Has anyone successfully built this version of FTP for a similar host?
