When this occurred, the daemon would fail to close the socket in a timely manne. Worse yet, if the control connection would later time out (which it almost always does with a web browser on the remote end), the daemon would hang forever; never timing out and closing down. The fix for this problem is available from: ftp://ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd/quickfixes/apply_to_2.5.0/rfc931.timeout.patch -- Gregory A Lundberg WU-FTPD Development Group 1441 Elmdale Drive lundberg@wu-ftpd.org Kettering, OH 45409-1615 USA 1-800-809-2195
