FTP. Not sure what server he was using.

I was running Debian 3.0 (2.4.18) with ProFTPd 1.2.5rc1 on an ext3
partition.

He posted to misc a while back, but no one had any suggestions.

Now that 3.2 is out (hopefully my CD's show up soon) I am going to get
OBSD installed on my AXi and start setting it up for my web/mail server.
