People are either mirroring ftp.freebsd.org, or they do DoS attack trying to abuse ftpd. In the first case, the reminder to behave is offending, in the second it's useless. If you once see somebody is abusing, you will kill/close the access for the machine [by default], since it's normal internet service which is being held by/with those unspoken laws to close access in cases of offence. # -DG # # David Greenman # Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project -- -mishania To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
