Okay, FTP server of choice - Hakim's document mentions using proftpD. Is this really more secure than all the mainstrain alternatives? I've gone (where possible) for RPMs maintained by SuSE, and proftp isn't one of them. On SLES, the choice appears to be: ?pure-ftpd?1.0.12 ?Lightweight, fast and secure FTP server ?vsftpd ?1.1.0 ?A Very Secure FTP Daemon - written from scratch. Despite my earlier insistance that I never install an FTP daemon, I'm now finding that I have to in order to support one piece of software. It's either that or samba.... :-( Tom.
