Has anyone seen this behaviour before? Running wu-2.4.2 with an
ftp-only account that does a chroot on login. The chroot is
enforced by placing the user account in a group that's mentioned in
the 'guestgroup' line in the wu-ftp config file. This works fine most
of the time. The problem occurs when a user connects via an ftp
proxy. ftpd drops the connection as soon as the password is
entered. This doesn't occur with connections via all ftp proxies. It
seems to occur with proxies that use 'user at site' but not those that
use 'user with login'.
I'm guessing that it's something to do with ftpd trying to verify the
source of the connection and the proxy not responding correctly.
identd stuff maybe?
