I know wuftpd is > a great tool and is 'really fixed' now. I know the hole was tiny, but As not everyone might be aware, a new group of people have picked up developement and support for 'wuftpd'. We've got the core of the old 'Academ', 'VR' and 'BERO' people, plus others who have made a lot of contributions over the past couple years. The new line is modelled the same as FreeBSD, with '-stable' and '-dev' (semi-experimental) branches. WU-2.5.0 will be rolling out sometime in May, mainly to finalize the merge of the various lineages. It might be worth letting the two 'camps' (FreeBSD and the new Wu-FTPd) work together, rather than both continuing developement, especially since it seems we're both heading in the same directions. Not that diversity isn't good, but why duplicate all the effort? Anyone know who the point-of-contact for the FreeBSD native 'ftpd' is? -coranth ========================================== [gryphon@freebsd.org, gryphon@wuftpd.org] Open Source -- The Only Solution To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
