Hi All, The combination of Apache + PHP + FreeTDS I use under 3.2-Release without problems, segfaults when it's built and run under -current (current as of about 2 weeks ago). i.e. I get "Segmentation fault - core dumped" when I try to run it. If I try to run gdb through the core file, that also

FTP client dies when not in passive mode?

This may have been covered before (searching the archives for 'ftp' wasn't such a hot idea :) Is there any way to stop the FTP client from either taking _ages_, or just dying stone dead (i.e. CTRL-\ is the only way out - forcing a core dump) when connecting through Firewalls that only allow Passiv
