>Number: 2554 >Category: ports >Synopsis: bad choice of FTP server for sox >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-ports >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Tue Jan 21 15:40:01 PST 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Bill Fenner >Organization: Xerox >Release: 2.2-BETA >Environment: n/a >Description: The MASTER_SITE for the sox port is nic.switch.ch . The welcome message on nic.switch.ch says: 230- *** Access to this FTP service is exclusively allowed for *** 230- *** - Swiss universities, schools & organisations with a *** 230- *** SWITCH service contract *** 230- *** - foreign education & research organisations *** Although I suppose I might be allowed to classify myself as a foreign research organization, I don't think that using such a restrictive FTP server is a good idea. >How-To-Repeat: ftp to nic.switch.ch and log in as anonymous >Fix: Unknown; the only other copies of sox10p11.tar.Z archie could find were FreeBSD/distfiles mirrors. Perhaps upgrade to sox11? (http://www.spies.com/Sox/Archive/soxgamma.tar.gz) >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
