The FTP timeout was on the client ftp(1) side, not on the ftpd(8) side. The resolving attempts time of ftpd(8) with default configuration has been decreased and now with empty /etc/ftphosts that time is smaller than ftp(1) command reply timeout. This timeout is 60 seconds and it is hardcoded in ftp.c. However with a number of additional hosts in /etc/ftphosts the resolving could take much more time and ftp(1) will still fail to log in. About 9 days ago I sent an email to Luke Mewburn <lukem@netbsd.org> (the author of lukemftp) with a proposal of new command line option that could allow one to change the FTP command reply timeout manually and to log in even in the described above situation. Unfortunately I didn't get any reply from Luke yet. > Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->yar > Responsible-Changed-By: yar > Responsible-Changed-When: Mon Mar 13 11:37:35 UTC 2006 > Responsible-Changed-Why: > So I can see feedback. > > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=62139 Some time after I got my Gmail account I check my Yahoo Mail accound rarely. Is it possible to change the originator's address of this PR to rosti.bsd@gmail.com ? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
