[Gslug-general] Plea for help

[Ian Gallagher]

I'd stick with getting vsftpd working, Because.. well, proftpd is broke
=) I don't know anything about wu-ftpd, which appears to maybe be
something RedHat prefers now-a-days.

The one thing I'll say about vsftpd, is that it's been designed from the
ground up with security as priority-0. The same can't be said for the
other above mentioned projects. Redhat even actually praises vsftpd, and
they use it on their public FTP servers. Why they don't ship with it,
I'm not sure. http://www.europe.redhat.com/news/article/186.html

Just to give folks an idea, anyways.
