About the ftpd

[swmok]

Hi All:
I found that the built-in generic ftpd in 7.1 is not stable.
Sometimes, the ftpd reject connection.
Here are my questions:

What ftpd are you guys using in FreeBSD? The generic built-in one OR vsftpd OR something else?

If the built-in ftpd is not stable/popular/user-friendly,
why don't the admin just drop it??

Also, how to set the ftpd work under the inetd??
I cannot do thisx(x(

Pls. help

I've used the built-in ftpd daemon since FreeBSD 2.0 and have never had a problem with its stability.

inetd config:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l

with access regulated via /etc/hosts.allow.

You don't say how it's not stable?

I'm using the base system ftpd on a system I inherited. (No stability problems in 3+ years.)
