hi! i actually a little curious about ftp daemon on my brand-new fbsd instalation. what it is? i've heard of wu-ftpd, proftpd, ncftpd and others - how are they different from standart ftp daemon? why should i transfer to one of those (or maybe i should not?) what are advantages and drawbacks of such upgrade? will i gain any speed/security benefits? secondly, i'm willing to cvsup my 3.3-rel to 3.4-stable. my vision of things is like this: there is so-called 'system part of distrib /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin' plus system sources in /sys -> /usr/src/sys. when i cvsup system only, i got this source directory tree updated, then i make buildworld, and i got all system staff and utils (maybe even ls ;-) compiled, hence bin and sbin in both / and /usr get updated. /usr/local/bin left untouched. is this correct? after saying installworld, some boot-related things get changed. what exactly happens? now the ports thing: first, some terminology: port-tree is only what i get when saying "install all ports" in /stand/sysinstall. is this so? and if i actually want _all port source_ which is lot of megabytes reside on my computer, what should i do? and is it true that there is no way to fetch all ports (i mean, all that huge source code tarballs) during install (the very first time /stand/sysinstall)? that's why to have cvsup, right? cvsuping ports collection - will it update only my ports-tree? or it will download the huge /ports/distfiles thing? if so, when cvsuping ports for the first time should take extremely long time, and all the consequential cvsuping will take much less? please excuse my bad english. waiting for your replyes.....
