		AUTHLIB 

  Date: 980525

Changes:
        980622 some minor changes (name changes, pathnames) for ease
               inclusion in eftp4linux source tree by Henner Eisen.

This library is derived from some parts of wu-ftpd, the FTP server
of the Washington University. (See copyright restrictions at
the beginning of any source file containing WU code).

It was written for use with eftd, the Euro File Transfer Daemon
written by Henner Eisen for isdn4linux.

As eftd is rather tighly related to the Linux OS, some OS independent
parts have been removed for more readability (E.g. an ANSI C compiler
is required).

It passes the function "wuftp_check_user" to the outside as main
benefit:

int wuftp_check_user (char *name, char *passwd, char *isdnno)

Arguments:
  - name =   The user name.
             Use ftp, anonymous or blank for anonymous logins
  - passwd = The password the client issued
  - isdnno = Instead of an IP-no as when used with ftpd, the isdn
             number of the client can or should be passed.

Returns:
  - 0        On failure.
             The user/password combination is wrong or the user
             is not allowed to log in.
             See "autherrmsg" for further information.
  - 1        On successful login.
             If the user is using a guest account (e.g., an 
             anonymous user), a chroot/chdir will have been
             performed by the library.
             The user id of the running program is set to the
             user id of the user logged in.

This library tries to keep close to the auth-schemes as used by
wu-ftpd. However, some adaptions have taken place:

 - Like with wu-ftpd, you might either set the pathnames of
   ftpaccess, ftphosts, ftpusers... in "pathnames.h" or
   declare their directory in config.h. 

   However, all files related to this library are starting with
   "eft" instead of "ftp". Therefore, e.g. users forbidden to
   login through this library are listed in "eftusers".

 - The guest-server directive may be used to restrict anonymous
   access by isdn-nr (instead of alias or fqdn-dns-name).
   However, the user will not get informed about other servers.

 - Whereever you might restrict or enable the access in the
   config files by ip-number or fqdn-name, the isdn-nr will
   be used instead of ip-name or ip-number.

List of exported variables:

IMPORTED:
use_accessfile  Defaults to 0
                If set to 1 before calling wuftp_check_user,
                eftaccess will be interpreted and applied.

EXPORTED:
char *autherrmsg - Whenever authentication has proceeded, this string
                is set to either an explanation why access was
                not granted or a welcome message like 
                "guest login o.k., access restrictions apply"


int guest       0 if normal user, 1 if "chrooted"
int anonymous   0 if normal user, 1 if anonymous login


Enjoy!
