Some notes on Southbury's ftp setup as of April 18, 2003.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The download servers are dephds062-65.

It uses the wu-ftpd, which uses /etc/ftpaccess, etc, but there's
nothing too useful there.

It uses the standard ftp userid, whose home directories in /etc/passwd
is defined as /dfs/ftp.  That's the trick.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

To exercise the ftp stuff, do a PDFexpress from a hitlist.  It will give
you a status screen that will eventually turn into a "download the file"
link.  Hovering over that link will tell you the directory inside the
/dfs/ftp root directory, which relates to your stuff.

  For example, the link could show 
ftp://ftp1.delphion.com/pub/6433547DRWfHC4J1nLEQBD3LACWcybltI/pdfExpress6433547.zip

which relates to /dfs/ftp/pub/6433547DRWfHC4J1nLEQBD3LACWcybltI/pdfExpress6433547.zip

Note the DFS permissions on that /dfs/ftp/pub directory do not allow a blind ls
(r is missing from the rwxcid permissions), so you have to know the specific
directory in order to cd to it or ftp from it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

dcecp -c acl show /dfs/ftp/pub                                  
{mask_obj -wxcid}
{user_obj rwxcid}
{user hosts/dephds062.southbury.usf.ibm.com/self rwxcid effective -wxcid}
{user rickjas rwxcid effective -wxcid}
{group_obj r-x--- effective --x---}
{group subsys/dce/dfs-admin rwxcid effective -wxcid}
{group delphion-admin rwxcid effective -wxcid}
{other_obj ----id}
{any_other rwx-id effective -wx-id}

Even my userid does not have permission to ls /dfs/ftp/pub due to that
mask_obj.  To temporarily change that, you can
  dcecp -c acl modify /dfs/ftp/pub -change {mask_obj rwxcid}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why those special permissions for root on dephds062?  Because that's where
the /dfs/ftp/pub cleanup crontab is, as shown below (split for readability)

#
# Cleanup FTP pub directory on DFS
2,32 * * * * chmod 777 /dfs/ftp/pub; \
             chmod 770 /dfs/ftp/pub/*; \
   /dfs/ipntools/cleandir -r -d /dfs/ftp/pub -m 30 -s 1>/dev/null 2>&1; \
             chmod 730 /dfs/ftp/pub
