It started around 5:45pm. Due to the crazy ventilation system of this apartment building, any smell that appears in the hallway gets drawn into all the apartments, including mine. Over the span of an hour there came several different perfumes, seeping into my apartment through the gaps around...

Huh? As opposed to a sort of modern-day sans-culottes?

Oh, and besides. I didn't mean for those suggestions to be interpretted by the forum code. Let the *human* do the interpretting. They're _usually_ good at that sort of thing.

Ok, how about re-mapping some keys on your keyboard so that when you press <shift> + <F1> for example, you get a whole "", <shift> + <F2> for "", etc. Just throwing some ideas out here.

That was my first thought too. But what does bitg do when he wants to connect to his FTP server when he's on his internal network? Then the FTP server is sending out an external IP adddress, when it should be sending out an internal one! Yack! Hah ... maybe you need two interfaces on the...

Well, first of all don't confuse -p with -P (see the manual I linked to earlier). But yes, you're right, the switch controls an aspect of passive FTP ... and that's confusing me, especially as you had written earlier: Without that switch, I would expect your pure-ftpd server to run normally...

Don't introduce more variables just yet. Keep the first try simple. Take the original command that the pure-ftpd perl script runs and remove the -P switch completely. That gives you this: /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd --daemonize -A -c50 -B -C8 -D -fftp -H -I15 -L2000:8 -m4 -p30000:50000 -s...

:P

Sung to the tune of the 1812 Overture (a.k.a. The Lone Ranger's theme): I've got a head like a ping-pong ball! I've got a head like a ping-pong ball! I've got a head like a ping-pong ball! Ping! Like a ping-pong ball!

Too complicated. *bold* /italics/ _underlined_ Done. :)

Ahhh ... but will they come in a variety of stylish colors?

May not be the same version as yours, but here's a man page for pure-ftpd.

Yes, that's good stuff. If it were me, just in the interest in ruling out one potential variable, I'd temporarily remove that whole -P switch. As for ideas? Well, maybe. If your pure-ftpd server is returning 192.168.0.1 as part of the reply when your client issues that PORT command, that...

It might be easier to figure out what's going on if you posted all the information you have in one discussion. :wink: Let me guess. You're behind a firewall/NAT box. From some random website, with details about a version of pure-ftpd that could be completely different from yours (I don't...

Sorry ... just thought I'd throw that comment in here for no particular reason whatsoever. As you were, gentlemen.

A very large, blood-red, pointy-horned demon once said, "The dreams of youth become the regrets of maturity." Actually it may have been Tim Curry who said that. I'm not too sure. I have to start over. Somehow.

Thank you. :D It's only half the song actually, but I figured filling another page would have been pushing it. :)

...and where can I get a network card that utilizes it?

Yup. Several years ago I installed shelving in my bathroom on Valentine's Day. That's the most memorable Valentine's Day I've ever had, actually.

You mean when I'm feeling bitchy, or when I'm feeling normal? :wink: Yes, I have multiple personalities everywhere... I'll PM you. :)

McDonald's (R)(TM) Chicken McNuggets (R)(TM)(M)(X4)(Pat#2729403)... ...available for 20 years now... ...and they still taste like crap.

:lol: More on topic, I'd really be surprised if you found all of that stuff, especially with a web interface. 1 & 2 are certainly possible in one package, with a web interface if you want. Heck, a dedicated SOHO firewall/router (from D-Link or Linksys) gives you that sort of thing. You...

The plural form of the word virus is viruses. In order for a case to be made that the plural is "virii" (with the double i), the singular word would have to virius, not virus. Consider: radius --> radii fungus --> fungi You could try and make a case for "viri" being the plural, but you'd...

There are four kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, statistics ... and resumes.

Here's a classy one: "I believe the two of you formed a ... twisted love pact ... based on your mutual admiration of ... Satan."

None of this may be news to any of you, but just in case here are some things in Linux and other UNIX-style environments I find useful. Feel free to jump in here if I'm understanding any of this stuff incorrectly, or if there's more detail to any of it you think would be good to know about...

Best of all, crane operator jobs can't be outsourced overseas. Unless, of course, they build cranes with really, really long booms...

The most informative and frequently updated website I've seen so far.

If I consider the average herd of cattle, I think it's safe to say they'd prefer extinction over the lives they currently live. Wouldn't you? Really though I don't think extinction would happen. "Traditional" farms (especially ones with religious streaks) would continue. And no doubt you'd...

What we really need is lab-grown meat. I'm serious. Think giant trays (or whatever) in a sterile factory that, over the span of a few weeks with the right ingredients and nutrient supply systems, can produce 60 foot long, perfect steaks. Or chicken. Or swordfish. Or whatever*. The tragedy...

Dunno about 6am, but there's definitely a 3am.

Tools section?

Umm ... not these people. Isn't it amazing how Google has made other search engines fade from memory? AltaVista also gets you a much better site (www.cwtusa.com) than that Taiwanese one. At least at first glance. :) What were you saying about your grandma? :wink:

Dancing leprechauns? Just what kind of websites are you visiting?! Oh. Wait. It's not me is it?

Pleeeeeease tell me it doesn't have a floppy disk controller.

Submit a story to Slashdot and ask if others are running into the same problem. Just don't point any links here. We wouldn't survive (load-wise or troll-wise).

Wow, that's crazy. :eekers:

I always assumed that was why the CD-ROM activity lights blinked every few seconds on the old Pentium systems running Windows 95.

Hey, honestly I'm nothing special. Believe me. With one very short-lived regretable exception, this summer will mark my 4th year completely alone in the world. I've basically been dead since February 1997. Not physically of course (duh), but in terms of spirit or happiness to any real...

Yes, and if it's really, really good sex, you start skipping meals in order to have more time for sex. Hence you lose even more weight. 8)

(Sorry, couldn't resist. :) ) Seriously though, the reason I dredged up this discussion is because I wondered what people were doing excercise-wise (ouch) these days, if anything. I've been looking at the all-too trendy Bowflex for a few years now, and I'm actually considering getting one as...
