You're totally right though, pine is an absolute and total mess, I really should devote some time into using a real mailer like mutt. :) I apologize though, you're right about the wuftpd comment being unfair. Sometimes I neglect to think before hitting send. I guess I never liked wu-ftpd even without the prior bugs, I find proftpd's apache-ish config style much better for my situation. It hasn't had a flawless record either though. I guess the only safe way to go is the freebsd ftpd, but it just isn't as flexible as proftpd is. :( On the other hand, I also run bind, albeit in a chroot as a non root user, sometimes ease of use wins out at times, I can't even begin to think how I would handle a migration to something like dbjdns, though I'm hopefull that bind 9 will be much better in a few point releases. :) * Matt Heckaman - mailto:matt@lucida.ca http://www.lucida.ca/pgp * * GPG fingerprint - 53CA 8320 C8F6 32ED 9DDF 036E 3171 C093 4AD3 1364 * -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: http://www.lucida.ca/pgp iD8DBQE6exklMXHAk0rTE2QRAg1OAJ9lnRR5Ea9hqwcVEpCMrqv0ZXTG8wCgpMMZ 4eJCZLIXG0Q0Yl+pHCPjkTc= =RPfO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
