Currently it can connect to the OpenFT and Gnutella networks officially, but unofficial plugins have been produced to connect to FasTrack which can't be made official for nonfree issues. The daemon will then listen on a local port to which a client can communicate. I have both used giFTcurs and giFToxic, preferring the latter. All of the above are available in the Debian unstable archive, and I have had no problems related to security utilizing the OpenFT and Gnutella networks, nor with the daemon itself. The issues would really only lie with a grossly malformed configuration (a tool should walk you through it easily) or any issues that would pop up in Gnutella, OpenFT or FasTrack. http://gift.sourceforge.net -- Scott Christopher Linnenbringer [sl@eskimo.com] http://www.eskimo.com/~sl/info.txt [sl@moslug.org] [NOTE: THIS MESSAGE IS DIGITALLY SIGNED WITH GNUPG/PGP]
