DUH!
this is no news

excuse my rant, 
but wu-ftp vulnerabilities start to become like
statements that windows is bad...

i have stopped using wu-ftp years ago, it was bad back then,
and it did not get any better

it's worse than sendmail.
i havn't heared about that for a while...
so they seem to have made some progress, 
but wu-ftp aparently has not,

however, i don't care anymore, just like most of us don't care about windows
(the difference is, that wu-ftp can be replaced in 100% of the cases,
while windows can not (yet))

greetings, martin.
