This sounds like tcpwrappers attempting (and eventually failing) to do a reverse DNS lookup for logging. IIRC, 7.1 had already switched over to xinetd, so IIRC you should be able to edit /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd and edit the 2 log_on_* lines to drop the USERID This is all from a distant haze of a memory, though, but I'm sure others will correct me :) James -- James Manning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG Key fingerprint = B913 2FBD 14A9 CE18 B2B7 9C8E A0BF B026 EEBB F6E4
