README2: additional notes on compiling and installing ftpd.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that the Makefile install options will replace files in /usr/bin
|
||
|
|
and /usr/man that were installed with the Minix distribution. If you
|
||
|
|
are not sure you want to do this you can either rename the original
|
||
|
|
in.ftpd binary, the anonftp.* scripts, and the ftpd.8 man page to
|
||
|
|
prevent them from being replaced, or you can edit the Makefile to
|
||
|
|
change the directory values:
|
||
|
|
BINDIR= /usr/local/bin
|
||
|
|
MANDIR= /usr/local/man/man8
|
||
|
|
ASW's practice is to rename binaries with a suffix that indicates the
|
||
|
|
original distribution from which they were obtained, i.e., in.ftpd.203
|
||
|
|
for the version distributed with Minix 2.0.3, or with a date code or a
|
||
|
|
version number.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are sure you want to replace the original ftpd provided with your
|
||
|
|
distribution you may want to copy the contents of the unpacked tarball
|
||
|
|
to the main directory tree, in this case /usr/src/commands/ftpd, so that
|
||
|
|
a new version will be compiled if you do a general recompilation of all
|
||
|
|
commands using "make all" or "make compile" in /usr/src. ASW's practice
|
||
|
|
is generally to make a directory in /usr/local/src for new versions of
|
||
|
|
major programs.
|
||
|
|
Also note that if you create a new man page where one did not exist
|
||
|
|
previously you will need to run makewhatis to rebuild the whatis
|
||
|
|
database, i.e.:
|
||
|
|
makewhatis /usr/man
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
makewhatis /usr/local/man
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Important: the scripts for setting up and maintaining an anonymous ftp
|
||
|
|
installation haven't been checked for a long time, I would appreciate
|
||
|
|
comments.
