wrong default in login.conf
Jordan, please approve this patch. It seems not good to have FTP_PASSIVE_MODE On as default while ftp program itself have it Off by default. Lets either change ftp program defaults to Passive On or login.conf defaults to Passive Off. I prefer second variant: --- login.conf.bak Wed Sep 15 04:09:22 1999 +++ login.conf Mon Feb 21 01:10:53 2000 @@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ default:\ :copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\ :welcome=/etc/motd:\ - :setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES:\ + :setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K:\ :path=~/bin /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin:\ :nologin=/var/run/nologin:\ :cputime=unlimited:\ -- Andrey A.

I prefer second variant: Um, the point of turning FTP_PASSIVE_MODE on by default is that it's not just one "client" which uses it. The ftpio(3) library uses it, for one, and hence pkg_add, sysinstall and fetch do too. I can count at least 4 "ftp programs" here which would all need to be changed independently and I don't much like that idea during code freeze, even if you could convince me that it was a good idea. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
