Mike:
If you read my recent time-delayed post (sent Tues. and showed up Thurs.
?) about Update 1.0 for the RaQ4 ... it might not have been a "hack."
When I installed the 1.0 update, all of my clients could not log-in via
FTP and TelNet ... this was a direct result of the update install and
not a hack (in my case). I had to go through each client account in the
GUI which had FTP and then switch it on/off and save (under FTP settings
in Site Management). That fixed it, and all the FTP was back "on." This
affected anonymous FTP also.
My problem may not have been related, but if you did the 1.0 OS update,
this might have been the cause.
Peace,
Christopher
