Hi all:
If I can divert your energies for a moment from an excellent debate. It relates only slightly tenuously off topic (since SuSE/SUSE is now SuSELL). At my current school they are Novell-o-philes and use a Linux partition on every machine to deliver a customised M$ partition (I am, with the support of most at the school, trialling thin client to get rid of M$ completely-watch this space). However, they would like to modify the 2.4.18 kernel they use so that it can run a tftp server so that they can load some new files onto one machine locally and then push it out to all at the site. We have taken over the LEA support contract for 8 local promaries and hope to get more. All of them use OO. Since they are familiar now, they will have none of
objections cited by other writers on this list from parents. The battle needs to be started at an earlier stage and primaries I think are much more recipient to the get rid of M$ argument. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how this might be done? I know
Why would you want to compile a FTP server into the kernel. I have never
heard of anybody doing that before. There is a multitude of FTP servers
available for Linux. proFTP is the easiest the setup. If you can set up
Apache you can set up proFTP, since the config files are almost identical.
pureFTP is the most secure, so the choice is yours
Regards
John

tftp as a client sits in the sbin or bin, but we need a tftp server. I have recompilled a kernel a few times before with pretty guis but have not toyed at the command line. Paul
