Problems running FTP.sh

[Janvi Badlaney <janvibadlaney () yahoo com>]

Hi,
I am a graduate student and i am doing a research paper on honeypots.I need help urgently as i am stuck and need to 
submit my paper within a week.
 
I have installed honeyd and want to get the ftp.sh - ftp service available at http://www.honeyd.org/contrib.php running.
 
After debugging the script(ftp.sh downloaded from www.honeyd.org) I have
come to know that it is getting stuck at the line 
while read incmd parm1 parm2 parm3 parm4 parm5
do
...
done
The program is unable to read from the console and hence is not entering
the while loop. 
 
When i run the ftp program e.g. ftp 10.0.0.1 21, honeyd does trap this attempt so i am assuming honeyd is running fine. 
I am running honeyd v1.0 on Linux.
 
1)Can anyone guide me as to how to run the FTP program.
2)Does the location of the scripts matter.Currently i have put the ftp.sh in a folder called ftp and made changes in 
the configuration file - i.e. the template to point to this location.
3)If i wanna make any changes/enhance the FTP script, do i need to understand the honeyd code. 
 
Help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
janvi
