wu-ftpd and anonftp would definately be kept in contribs. Historical reasons doesn't really fly with me... AFAIC, if someone can run an FTP server, they can download the source and build it themself if they can't be bothered to use something decent (yes, I am displaying some anti-wu-ftpd sentiment here). I don't know about the .tar/.gz thing... doesn't proftpd do anything like that? -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import" 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.18-6.4mdk uptime: 3 days 7 hours 27 minutes.
