Simple, lusers are lusers. It's bad enough they have to figure out frontpage (domainname, username, and password is asking a lot! at least for some users). Trying to get them to correctly configure FTP information *as well* is not exactly joyfull. Anything using the web serving mechanism inherits a *lot* of information automaticly - including directory locations ;-). More, it's nothing new for them to configure at all. Whether you buy all this or not, is up to you :-). But, from my experience, most of the people needing frontpage, really don't need to have too much info, or else they are easily confused. And their confusion turns into my loss of time.. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
