I haven't looked at or edited those files, so they would be the same copies
that Mandrake install puts there, unless some application modified them.
I'm not at my linux box now, or else I would copy the contents to this
email. I can do a ftp localhost, and everything works as expected, as well
as ssh localhost. I have also successfully FTP'd from another computer as
well.
Thanks,
Kevin
