Summary:
Thanks for the suggestions in checking the neccessary libraries for
"ls" and making sure they have all been copied to ~ftp/usr/lib.
I re-read the accompanying notes on wu-ftpd and there was a note on
Solairs 2.5.1. The libraries for Solaris 2.5.1 that were supposed to
go into ~ftp/usr/lib directory when the ftp users wanted to use
dynamically linked 'ls' didn't work. Instead users were asked to
copied the libraries from Solaris 2.5.
Since I am running Solaris 2.6 , I made an assumption that the above
statement applies to my case too. So I copied the "ls" and the
corresponding libraries from workstations running Solaris 2.5.
And vola!! It works!
Thanks a lot to the suggestions to users who sent a reply.
Paritcularly to Casper Dik who has given me a lot of advises.
