The following reply was made to PR bin/5109; it has been noted by GNATS.

Instead of inventing a bunch of commandline options for each resource limit, did you consider using login.conf, and making ftpd using the user "ftp"'s login class for anonymous access (and i think that's what you actually want)? This would IMHO constitute a better approach. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
