• Corrects return code treatment in various routines
• Corrects problems on the Linux version due to malign-double compilation parameter (severe)
• Automatic detection of RFIO (instead of doing it in config.h)
• Adapt client and daemon to CASTOR (RFIO at CERN)

This release has been tested for :

• SunOS 5.6
• SunOS 5.7
• IRIX64 6.5
• OSF1 4.0 alpha
• Linux Redhat 6.1 on i686
• AIX 4.3
• HP-UX 10.20

• Adjusting parameters
  • Several parameters may be modified in order to change the clients behaviour. All these parameters are in the includes files client.h and config.h located in the includes directory.
  • Parameter NBTRYMAX contained in includes/client.h
    • Set it to the number of default retry you want the client to do in case of failure.

• Setting the install directory
  • Go into the bbftpc directory
  • Edit the Install.set file and change INSTALLBINDIR value

• Installing the client
  • Go into the bbftpc directory
  • Run Build install

Installation of the server

• Adjusting parameters
  • Several parameters may be modified in order to change the server behaviour. All these parameters are in the include file config.h located in the includes directory.
  • Parameter AFS
    • Uncomment the line #define AFS 1 if the authentication mechanism of the computer where the server will run is AFS.
    • If your computer is using the the PAM authentication do not uncomment this line and let the system do its work.

• Setting the install directory
  • Go into the bbftpd directory
  • Edit the Install.set file and change INSTALLBINDIR value

• Installing the server
  • Go into the bbftpd directory
  • Run Build install

• Post installation
  • If you have choosen to run the server throught inetd

    • Add the line
      bbftp    CONTROLPORT/tcp
      in your /etc/services file where CONTROLPORT is the number you have set in the includes/config.h (usually 5021)
    • Add the line
      bbftp stream tcp nowait root INSTALLBINDIR/bbftpd bbftpd
      in the /etc/inetd.conf file where INSTALLBINDIR is the name of the installation directory (set in the Install.set file)

  • If your system authentication is PAM

    • If you have a /etc/pam.conf file
      • Verify the lines begining by other auth and other account allow login. If it is not the case add special lines for bbftp. The lines to be added will look like:
        bbftp auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
        bbftp account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
    • If you have a /etc/pam.d directory
      • Verify the file other and allow login. If it is not the case create a new file called bbftp which will contain two lines looking like:
        auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
        account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
