Fud, foo... Both proftpd and wuftpd (and several others like WARFTPd) have had critical security holes that have been found with annoyingly entrehched versions. Both are excellent and offer *many* features and have ongoing development, thus new bugs once in a while. The stock FBSD FTP server is better than most stock ones and allows chrooted users, which is what drives many folks to pro/wu/war-ftpd. We use wuftpd on the AIX machines and it works well. If you use any of them, watch the security advisories, delay using new features, join the support mailing list and keep aware. - Jy@ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
