This can be seen as violating KISS, yes. And if people want to dump the patch for that reason, i have no complaints. This patch is for convinience, not for critical functionality. As for ftpd -W, it doesn't log regular ftp logins, which is really bad for security. Maybe a better lolution would be to teach ftpd not to log annon logins to wtmp. -- Flemming Jacobsen Email: fj@batmule.dk ---=== If speed kills, Windows users may live forever. ===---
