Since it wasn't part of the RPM database (we had to compile it to get it in) it didn't get updated, and we were subsequently cracked and used for a DDOS attack. I really, REALLY don't recommend installing any 'replacement' for software that comes with your distro - better to stick with stock and update everything in one fell swoop with yum! Any security benefit from a particular configuration will most likely be wiped out by the additional adminstrative headache. Make vsftpd work for you - I've not seen much that ProFTPd did /does that vsftpd isn't capable of - except that with vsftpd, you'll get security udates, etc for what, another 5 or 6 years? -Ben -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XEROX PARC slogan, circa 1978
