Koltermann) Message-Id: <9506021342.AA12340@racer.dkrz.de> To: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Subject: 2.0.5a install: ftp username/password does not work Reply-To: gwk@cray.com Sender: bugs-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Jordan, I tried again with your floppy-of-the-day, but still can't get installing via FTP to work. I use my workstation as FTP server and want to retrieve the files with username and password (no anonymous ftp configured). Permission denied. The debug screen tells me that the install forgets about the username that I specified in the options menu and instead uses the password that I specified for both the ftp USER and PASS commands. Did you really try this before you released it? Anyway, installing via NFS seems to work once I set the 'NFS priviledged port' option. How about making this the default anyway? Would it break something? Georg-W. Koltermann, gwk@cray.com
