We're trying to use the stock ftpd on 2.2 machines running as webservers. Hence, each server has a number of IPs aliased. The problem is, on these 2.2 machines, ftpd takes a long time to return a login prompt, preventing some users from connecting because their software has too short of a timeout. I get the "Connected to domain.com" message immediately, but the login prompt takes a good 20-30 seconds more. It's not a nameservice issue, because if I install the wu-ftpd port (which I'm trying to move away from since ftpd seems to be developing nicely), it returns the login prompt right away. One thing I have found is that on machines that have only one IP, the login prompt returns quickly. It's these webservers with a number of IP aliases that seems to be the problem. Any ideas, advice, or commiseration? Omar
