    Hi,

    ftp://ferret.lmh.ox.ac.uk/pub/linux/vsftpd-0.0.10.tar.gz

    Not much has changed. Mainly:
    - Display dates properly in "ls" for older files (show year not time)
    - Repair ASCII <-> binary translation
    - Security: don't chroot() local users by default

    WARNING! Don't use this with 2.4.x kernels. Unfortunately, vsftpd exposes
    an unpleasant "down in flames" bug with the 2.4.x kernel. I seem unable to
    write software which doesn't find kernel bugs. It looks like the kernel
    bug will be fixed in 2.4.2

    Either it's quite bug-free, or no-one bothered to use it on their ftp
    sites :-) Let me know if you did.

    Cheers
    Chris
