Re: [TCLUG:22353] Slackware/Caldera/Installfest/kPPP



Slack 7.0.0 was missing some important things for yp, so I've coasterized
all my slack-7 CD's and I'm only using 7.1 now.  7.1 Also has the
currently non-exploitable version of wu-ftpd, which is what you want
since I'm seeing ftpd scans to my entire netblock about twice a week.
