[oclug] WU-FTP and Passive Mode

[Vic Gedris]

Collin,

Next thing you should do is upgrade your wu-ftpd to 2.6.1.  Your distro
probably has a package available.

See:
ftp://ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd-attic/cert.org/CA-2000-13

Or, as I'm sure other people will suggest, try a different more secure
FTP daemon.

Cheers,
Vic
