translate the bottom banner of wu-ftpd

Hi all, i get the trick thanks Bishop :
(at compilation time)
1 - from the source tree, edit src/ftpcmd.y and change 3 lines as 
illustrated : (debian : see bellow)
<<
#ifdef TRANSFER_COUNT
            if (logged_in) {
                // lreply(221, "You have transferred %d bytes in %d 
files.", data_count_total, file_count_total);
                // lreply(221, "Total traffic for this session was %d 
bytes in %d transfers.", byte_count_total, xfer_count_total);
                // lreply(221, "Thank you for using the FTP service on 
%s.", hostname);

                lreply(221, "Vous avez transfere %d octets pour %d 
fichiers.", data_count_total, file_count_total);
                lreply(221, "La charge total du traffic pour cette 
session fut de %d octest pour %d transfers.", byte_count_total, 
xfer_count_total);
                lreply(221, "MYBUZ vous remercie d'avoir utilise son 
service FTP.");
            }
 >>

2 - then you can do a normal
    # ./configure; make
and
    # cp bin/ftpd /usr/sbin/wuftpd (backup the previous version)

DEBIAN ? :
- if you load the source package with "apt-get --source wu-ftpd" follow 
this -
    on debian, in order to reuse the original debian configuration (the 
one used by the binary wu-ftpd package)
do this BEFORE "make" and instead of "./configure" :
1 -
    # debian/rule
this script run configure with the debian choices :
<<
        ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-etc-dir=/etc/wu-ftpd \
                    --with-log-dir=/var/log/wu-ftpd --disable-numericuid \
                    --mandir='$${prefix}/share/man' --enable-pam \
                    --enable-quota --enable-passwd
 >>
--enable-pam, --enable-passwd is rather important if your system rely on 
them, else your ftpd won't work

hth bye
