Don't get me wrong here, but this sentence is just a great example and aid
to what pranha (??) said: People don't get the namings.  wu-ftpd kinda needs
anonftp if you want anonftp for wu-ftpd.  anonftp is not a ftp server, and
neither is tftp.  tftp is needed if you want machines to be bootable from
the network, ie. diskless machines.

Now you are really getting way to far!  There's no need for name calling
here!  My experience always was, that if you stay polite, you're much more
likely to get a point accross!
