Cool... I'll take a peek at it tomorrow and see what I can break. I really like Chris' stuff, and I know it'll be secure. I would use it myself except that it doesn't support virtual domains and, AFAIK, there is no way to bind it to one particular IP address (ie. I could run three instances, each on their own IP if that were possible). Hmmm... methinks I should look at what I can do running vsftpd under tcpserver... I bet I could accomplish it that way... Anyways, I'll take a peek tomorrow when I'm in the office. -- 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 28 minutes.
