Please reply to the list.
Thank you for your feedback. I should point out that it is Richard
Stallman's vision that I believe in not Eric Raymond's. I will be more
careful in the future with the terminology that I use :-)
It is more useful to believe in freedom than in someones vision, since
a persons vision can change, but freedom does not.
I have made most of the changes that you suggested and will supply
a new patch shortly.
Thank you!
The reason that I passed in port as a separate argument to server_mode
is because phis->sin_port is used for the data port. The command port
is set via server_addr.sin_port.
I do not follow... I wasn't referring to sin_port, but to the usage
of "port = port_no;" in server_mode, which is redundant.
Do we want to allow a user to specify 0 as a port number? I realise
this will cause the port to be generated dynamically. Not sure
about other FTP servers but I do not think the Solaris in.ftpd
allows you to use 0.
Could you check? I have no preference if we accept 0 or not, but it
is a valid port number.
