A better question is why is LSB trying to put requirements on an applications configration files. /etc/ftpusers just won't work for proftpd becuase of the VirtualHost options. Requiring that an ftp server use ftpusers is would be as dumb as saying all httpd servers have to use apache's format. To top all that off /etc/ftpusers is a poorly named file. /etc/ftpusers.deny would have been more intuitive. But LSB is just adopting the design of a poorly designed ftp server (wu-ftpd) as the standard and that's really sad. At any rate this isn't really an argument for this list. But that's just my two cents on the matter. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose. - Brian Hayes
