>Number: 465 >Category: conf >Synopsis: Cannot ftp install from non-anonymous ftp site >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs (FreeBSD bugs mailing list) >State: open >Class: change-request >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Wed May 31 21:00:00 1995 >Originator: Gil Kloepfer Jr. >Organization: SSDL >Release: FreeBSD 2.0.5-ALPHA i386 >Environment: i386DX/40 on local Ethernet with FreeBSD distribution on another machine on local net >Description: Cannot specify a local machine to ftp files from. The installation process *requires* that the host containing the distribution support anonymous ftp, and I do not want anonymous ftp enabled on the system with the distribution files. This is a change of functionality from 2.0-RELEASE, where a non-anonymous site was able to be specified by entering a site name without a URL >How-To-Repeat: Attempt to load from a machine on a local net without anon ftp >Fix: Correct installation system to allow loading of distribution files from a non-anonymous ftp site, like was done in 2.0-RELEASE >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
