[9]1README2: additional notes on compiling and installing ftpd.
2
3Note that the Makefile install options will replace files in /usr/bin
4and /usr/man that were installed with the Minix distribution. If you
5are not sure you want to do this you can either rename the original
6in.ftpd binary, the anonftp.* scripts, and the ftpd.8 man page to
7prevent them from being replaced, or you can edit the Makefile to
8change the directory values:
9 BINDIR= /usr/local/bin
10 MANDIR= /usr/local/man/man8
11ASW's practice is to rename binaries with a suffix that indicates the
12original distribution from which they were obtained, i.e., in.ftpd.203
13for the version distributed with Minix 2.0.3, or with a date code or a
14version number.

16If you are sure you want to replace the original ftpd provided with your
17distribution you may want to copy the contents of the unpacked tarball
18to the main directory tree, in this case /usr/src/commands/ftpd, so that
19a new version will be compiled if you do a general recompilation of all
20commands using "make all" or "make compile" in /usr/src. ASW's practice
21is generally to make a directory in /usr/local/src for new versions of
22major programs.
23Also note that if you create a new man page where one did not exist
24previously you will need to run makewhatis to rebuild the whatis
25database, i.e.:
26 makewhatis /usr/man
27or
28 makewhatis /usr/local/man

30Important: the scripts for setting up and maintaining an anonymous ftp
31installation haven't been checked for a long time, I would appreciate
32comments.
