I have *ZERO* >problems fetching the bash2 patch files from ftp.cwru.edu. The problem is that the default is deny, not send a reset. The problem is that their site tries to do an indentd lookup and when the firewall drops the packet on the floor, you don't get in. >> I find this to be an intolerable situation, and either we need to modify >> our shipped inetd.conf and rc.firewall to accomodate this port (hahaha) >> or we need to find a permanent home on a freebsd server for its files. > >FreeBSD doesn't enable ipfw firewall by default. So I don't know what >you are talking about. But I don't think that running a stock ipfw firewall can be considered a very non-standard situation, as unless you're already behind one, running a firewall is the smart thing to do. All I wanted out of you was for you to host the files for bash2 in your ~/public_distfiles (at least 2 port versions worth), and add the URL as a MASTER_SITE and PATCH_SITE. -- Alan Eldridge Unix/C(++) IT Pro, 20 yrs, seeking new employment.
