Re: Compiling proftpd from potato in a slink box
sorta off subject but proftpd had some pretty serious security flaws in
it, and i dont think it would be advisable to use on a unprotected
system(non firewalled). those flaws were fixed but there are many more
potential problems as the base code has some severe security
problems. wu-ftpd has similar problems a recent CERT alert was sent out
about a current version of wu-ftpd. I use the OpenBSD ftpd v0.2.2
(?) compiled from source. its a very basic ftpd, and for me, works great.
if you don't care about security or your system is already safe..then
forget what i just said :)
