Hi Rusty,
As a matter of fact I used all the FTP packages specifically for
Mandrake on my machine at home. what's weird about it is that a few
weeks ago I had FTP working fine, then something happened and i had to
reload or the monitor bought wasn't going to work cause I was running
the wrong version of XFree86. thats another store though.
anyway, when I did setup again all went smooth until I attempted to log
in as an anonymous user. something else that is a bit strange is that
ypbind isn't working correctly. If i'm not mistaken doesn't that have
something to do with DNS service and aren't they somehow related to FTP
services?
