You were right. In the far machine I didn't have the client ftp pc in /etc/hosts and I thought I didn't need it because the target pc is also the name server. However I had not made possible for the name server the reverse name resolution because I thought it was not necessary. I find it curious that though reverse name resolution doesn't work, I did come through but it took time. What was the compromise done by the system in this case? When I made the suggested change in /etc/hosts there was not delay like you have said! The passive mode is a very interesting point. I didn't know that before. For the case it couldn't help of course. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
