They all return a response, even if it's just `connection reset'. It's the dropping the packets on the floor and leaving the request just hanging in the ether that causes the problem. In any event, I had ftp.cwru.edu's anonymous ftp configuration changed so it won't try ident. I'm not really happy about doing it. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ( ``Discere est Dolere'' -- chet ) Chet Ramey, ITS, CWRU chet@po.CWRU.Edu http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
