Applications have to be compiled with large file support, e.g. I think proftpd the last time we tested didn't support large files. The solution (?) is to compile with large file support (assuming that it is supported) or patch it on your own ;-) As an example you can see what we had to do to get proftpd to work with large files here: http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/html/proftpd_largefiles.html -- Geoff.
