I'm strongly against remove of stock ftpd. FTP is fastest protocol for both testing and daily file transfer for trusted isolated segments, and even for WAN wrapped in IPSec. Our stock ftpd has very short backlog of security issues comparing with other FTP server implementations, mostly linked with libc or other libraries and not with ftpd code itself. Please don't fix what ain't broken. Please. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
