The server came up after 25 min. A co-worker had attached an external disk array attached to

ext_bus SCSI C896 Ultra Wide...
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I've printed out /usr/samples/tcpip/anon.ftp and will review it and test it on a development server.
My concern about anonymous ftp is that confidential files will be put on a production server that is outside a firewall so I need to restrict who can connect via ftp and...
I'm struggling with the same issue.
Per the O'Relly book "Practical UNIX & Internet Security" pgs. 491-4, I've done the following:

I've set cd0 as the first choice on both the Normal and Service mode boot...
This is my first posting I'm not clear on the protocol.
I've read the FAQ and searched the postings and couldn't find a resolution.
