Indeed... Luke Mewburn is a very nice fellow. All the email exchanges I've had with him, regarding NetBSD or other sources, have been polite, full of useful facts and information, and more importantly quick. I'm not exactly suggesting anything here (like someone jumping up and saying "I will"); just making sure that the author of lukemftp and lukemftpd is contacted before any decision is made. Giorgos.
