WU-FTPD 2.6.1 Release Notes (September 2008)

Installing WU-FTPD 2.6.1
For the HP-UX 11.0 and HP-UX 11i v1 operating systems, you can download the Web
upgrade version of WU-FTPD 2.6.1 from http://www.software.hp.com
To install WU-FTPD 2.6.1, run the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
$ swinstall -s <source>
where <source> is the location to which you downloaded the WU-FTPD depot.
NOTE: The installation of this upgrade kills all the instances of ftpd(1M) and it does
not restart ftpd(1M) because ftpd(1M) is usually invoked by inetd(1M). If ftpd(1M) is
running in standalone mode (using the -S or -s option), ftpd(1M) must be restarted
manually after installing this upgrade.
The WU-FTPD 2.6.1files are installed into the /usr/contrib/wuftpddirectory.
During installation, the /usr/bin/enable_inet script backs up the existing
WU-FTPD files into the /usr/contrib/wuftpd/save_custom/backup directory
and enables the higher version of WU-FTPD by linking the new files to existing file
locations.
The enable_inet -r wuftpd command allows you to revert to the previous version
of WU-FTPD. To enable the newer version of WU-FTPD, you need to run enable_inet
wuftpd command on the HP-UX prompt. Theenable_inet status wuftpd
command shows the currently active version of WU-FTPD.
If you want to install a GR patch, you must disable WU-FTPD 2.6.1 by running the
following command at the HP-UX prompt before installing the GR patch:
/usr/bin/enable_inet -r wuftpd
This command reverts the system to the base version of FTPD (WU-FTPD 2.4) that is
delivered with the core HP-UX 11i v1 operating system.
If you wish to upgrade your operating system and if the Web upgrade version of
WU-FTPD is enabled on the existing operating system, you must revert to the previous
version of WU-FTPD using the enable_inet -r wuftpd command before upgrading
the operating system.
If you want to reinstall the Web upgrade which is already enabled on the operating
system, revert to the previous version of WU-FTPD using the enable_inet -r
wuftpd command, before reinstalling the Web upgrade.
Verifying the WU-FTPD 2.6.1 Installation
To verify whether the WU-FTPD 2.6.1 depot is installed successfully on your system,
enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# swlist -l bundle | grep FTP
