README2: additional notes on compiling and installing ftpd. Note that the Makefile install options will replace files in /usr/bin and /usr/man that were installed with the Minix distribution. If you are not sure you want to do this you can either rename the original in.ftpd binary, the anonftp.* scripts, and the ftpd.8 man page to prevent them from being replaced, or you can edit the Makefile to change the directory values: BINDIR= /usr/local/bin MANDIR= /usr/local/man/man8 ASW's practice is to rename binaries with a suffix that indicates the original distribution from which they were obtained, i.e., in.ftpd.203 for the version distributed with Minix 2.0.3, or with a date code or a version number. If you are sure you want to replace the original ftpd provided with your distribution you may want to copy the contents of the unpacked tarball to the main directory tree, in this case /usr/src/commands/ftpd, so that a new version will be compiled if you do a general recompilation of all commands using "make all" or "make compile" in /usr/src. ASW's practice is generally to make a directory in /usr/local/src for new versions of major programs. Also note that if you create a new man page where one did not exist previously you will need to run makewhatis to rebuild the whatis database, i.e.: makewhatis /usr/man or makewhatis /usr/local/man Important: the scripts for setting up and maintaining an anonymous ftp installation haven't been checked for a long time, I would appreciate comments.
