Re: WU-FTPD lists UIDs and GIDs as numbers

You might try running ls using truss/trace/strace to see if it is pulling
in anything that ldd doesn't mention.  You could even run it under chroot
if necessary.

To be honest, I can't think of a reason why the static ls you built shouldn't
work under ftpd if it worked stand-alone, either.  (Again, you might try
running it chrooted as ftp and see if strace shows anything interesting.)

In worst case, you can run with a full copy of ~ftp/lib and keep pulling
files out of there until it stops working, to find out which library is
causing it.  (Painful, I know...)

Cheers, Bob
