SuSE Linux: Version 6.2

SuSE-INTERN:

Symptom:

Athough you've installed an FTP environment and you can log in you cannot display a directory list (although a blind file transfer is possible).

Cause:

You've forgotten to make a /dev/null device in your chroot environment

Solution:

With the following command you can do just this:
su - -c "mknod /usr/local/ftp/dev/null c 1 3 -m 666"

You'll be asked for the "root" password after which the device will be created. The listing of ans anonymous FTP should be no problem now.
