Hi,

A few days ago - I wrote:

Hi,

For all issues, I am referring to wu-ftpd-2.6.2 running on Caldera Open 
Linux.  Some instances on 3.1, others on 2.4.

I don't know my problems are related to wu-ftpd, or some network 
issue.  Here is the problem:

Within the same network session, ftp sessions (either via Linux or Dos 
command lines, or through a GUI Interface) are very slow.  Through command 
line, when I type ftp 192.xxx.xxx.xxx, the screen that says connected to 
192.xxx.xxx.xxx appears immediately.  The problem is that the banner 
welcome page and user prompt can take as long as 30 seconds to appear!

We have a good 10/100 ethernet network, and don't have any other slowness 
or time out issues.  What is wrong?  Is there some global network parameter 
that I can change, or is there some setting within wu-ftpd that can fix this?

Also, Now I have a Linux box in a remote location that we can see through a 
VPN.  I can't ftp to it at all.  After the connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx box 
appears, the screen does nothing for 60 seconds.  I never get the banner 
welcome page, and after 60 seconds, I get the message - connection closed 
by remote host.  What is different between the connection that establishes 
immediately that says - connected to xxx.xxx.xxx, and the next connection 
that brings up the banner welcome page and user prompt?  I need to be able 
to ftp to this remote machine.  If there is a network problem, and it is 
undiagnosed, can I set wu-ftpd to not time out after 60 seconds waiting for 
the banner welcome page and user prompt.  Is there a configuration file to 
accomplish this.


I figured it out. I just needed to recompile with a parameter. ./configure 
--disable-dns.


Thanks
