hi all, does anyone know why ftpusers works BACKWARDS? i.e., users listed there are NOT allowed to login.
i'm talking design-philosophy-why there. normally, i would want my ftp server to NOT allow login by default. that means, if ftpusers does not exist, i don't want anyone to be able to login anyway. *then* i want to be able to enumerate whom i want to allow to login. heh, all that and we haven't even gotten to why it's not called ftp-non-users instead of ftpusers :). since obviously the name of the file is just completely opposite to what it does :). i would google for this, but google isn't good at answering philosophical questions :). tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo gquimpo*hotmail.com tiger*sni*ph http://bopolissimus.sni.ph an xcdngl nntrstng jrnl Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" If we were meant to fly, we wouldn't keep losing our luggage. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
