At Craig's suggestion I took a look at the manpage for the solaris
supplied ftpd. It looks like no one updated the anonymous ftp section
of the athena ftpd manpage when it was ported to solaris. Adding the
following two things to the list of instructions solves the problem
(quoted directly from the solaris man page):
~ftp/usr/lib
Make this directory owned by the super-user and
unwritable by anyone. Copy the following shared
libraries from /usr/lib into this directory.:
ld.so*
libc.so*
libdl.so*
libintl.so*
libw.so*
libnsl.so*
libsocket.so*
nss_nis.so*
nss_nisplus.so*
nss_dns.so*
nss_files.so*
straddr.so*
~ftp/dev Make this directory owned by the super-user and
unwritable by anyone. First perform ls -lL on
the device files listed below to determine their
major and minor numbers, then use mknod to
create them in this directory.
/dev/zero
/dev/tcp
/dev/udp
/dev/ticotsord
(Note that you want the devices in ~ftp/dev to be mode 666.)
