preso dal changelog current:
n/vsftpd-2.0.1-i486-1.tgz: Added vsftpd as Slackware's new default ftpd.
This may not have the rich feature set of ProFTPD, but simple is
probably more secure. Thanks to Laurens Vets for getting me to take
another look at this.
pasture/proftpd-1.2.9-i486-3.tgz: Sent to /pasture. This has been allowed
to slide way too much for a network service. A security issue was
discovered in April (and was patched in Slackware and elsewhere shortly
thereafter). It took a couple of weeks for any warning to appear on the
ProFTPD site (with no official fix, just a suggestion to avoid the
vulnerable feature). Since then it's been fixed in CVS but there is
still no official stable release that fixes the issue. I liked ProFTPD,
but won't put up with security negligence that goes on for months.
Clearly ProFTPD's time is up, and it belongs here in /pasture.
If there's any problem with vsftpd (and I don't expect there will be),
you can bet that Chris Evans won't take 4 months to do something about it.
Aspettavo da tempo questo momento e finalmente è arrivato.
Vsftpd roxxa di brutto è leggerissimo e sopratutto non ha una vulnerabilita da diversi anni.
Per me Volkerding ha perfettamente ragione....come al solito del resto
