Dan I would be careful about that. I had a cron job FTPing tared files for
backup. There is a problem with FTP on the RaQs that slows the FTP down
sometimes. It could take days to get your backups. I could also cause the
raq to hang and have to reboot. You may want to find another way to move the
files. maybe rcp or scp.

I saw a reference to this on the list after my RaQ was haveing problems. It
was from almost a year ago and it is still happening. Hey Cobalt, Any patch
for this in the works?

Please respond to me directly, since I'm getting the digest.
