Up until you mentioned this I thought the problem was due to something I did. I get the same thing using Cooker. I think if you are referring to the dnshostname for the ip. Instead of mybox.in.chi.isp.net, I get my old thatbox.in.chi.isp.net. This keeps me from ever getting the proftpd server to start up on my computer. Many months ago when I was with my old ip address with the same isp, I installed proftpd server using Mandrake's MCC ftp server configuration. It will not even run any further than downloading and installing the proftpd package. - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Altoine B Maximum Time Unlimited Chicago Based and Operated http://pgp.mit.edu - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Portable, adj.: Survives system reboot. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.4.19-19nds Mandrake Linux release 9.1 (Cooker) for i586 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE96FCcxjybQmhmUgYRAm1zAKCpzP990K09nXHix/873W9OVaBS6wCgqOFX q8qCaEKY+s9AGimsFuqOCOA= =vPYY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
