This is not a dig or anything, but I'm wondering why people are using FTP
Anonymous FTP is still relatively OK.
& telnet rather than scp/sftp and ssh?
I enable telnetd before an ssh update on a remote machine (I administer several machines in another country). If there is a power shutdown during the update and sshd is corrupted then I still have a chance to log in and do repairs. If the ssh update is OK then I disable the telnetd. Sure, there are more secure methods but in this case everything is already in place on SuSE Linux. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
