Not all of my potential client machines have ssh pre-installed, so for some quick file transfers on an Intranet, a DSL FTP service does the job nicely.

If BetaFTP had better configuration options, it would be ideal for the job at hand. I am sure that a similar (very small) FTP service exists that is more configurable than BetaFTP. It's just a matter of finding such a program and giving it a test drive.

1. cant you use pump -i eth0 to have it restart the eth device?

2. get XAMPP if you want a full bore apache server and since you are running frugal it will be even that much easier!

Good luck bud

Hey thanks for the tips on eth0 and XAMPP. Also my offer still stands for the DSL developers, or any script needs (in perl for now)... Let me know

I assume that the security issues are being addressed in the newer versions?

Monkeyd was last updated 18 months ago. The latest release is from April of 2005, but their CVS logs don't show any src/ changes during that period. ie., Development is dead.

Still, monkeyd-0.9.1 is reported to fix all of the security problems, though those fixes don't exist in their CVS. (Disorganized development, anyone?).

System:
eTower 566.12, 32MB RAM, 7GB HD, 200MB swap, 1x USB v.1, Intel 810GFX, Intel 810 Audio.
Recompiled so far: Pretty much everything. I think I'll have to do a remaster to cut the growing bloat off my system.
