Re: long hang time for ftp



Sooo.. how do I fix it?  I assume I am going to run into this problem quite
often, because a lot of dial-up users, as well as others don't have a
resolvable IP, and I can't fix their end.  I would have no problem turning
off reverse-dns lookups system-wide (dont' see the need) but I don't know
how.  Hints?
