Hello, I have problems with slowly coming ftp-DoS on ftp.cz.FreeBSD.org. What about the other mirror sites? It started two weeks ago (and it is visible since one week ago). When anybody installs security/portaudit, it wants to automatically fetch -1am portaudit.tbz every day (?). If somebody is protected by firewall, ftp server could not establish data connection and returns error in an control connection. Unfortunately it seems to me, that flags -1am for fetch mean to retry data download all the time (-a = Automatically retry the transfer upon soft failures). Am I right? Is it possible to do something with it? Thanks. -- Rudolf Cejka <cejkar at fit.vutbr.cz> http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~cejkar Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Information Technology Bozetechova 2, 612 66 Brno, Czech Republic
