I have taken over a number of RH/FC/CentOS servers recently. I am trying to upgrade all of them to CentOS 4.3 and configure them to only use software that can be managed via yum/apt repositories. One of the choices made by my predecessor was the pure-ftpd server over vsftpd. I cannot find a repo to get this rpm from and am wondering if anyone on the list has any practical experience with both and can give me some insight as to whether it would be better to run vsftpd (more likely to be updated after a security update via yum) versus pure-ftpd (very few updates needed in it's history).
Thanks in advance,
Alex Palenschat

pure-ftpd should be avaliable on Karan-extra repository. See centos.karan.org
