System: NetBSD c.primenet.com.au 1.4I NetBSD 1.4I (C) #0: Sat Jul 31 17:00:56 EST 1999 mason@c.primenet.com.au:/usr/netbsd/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/C i386
>Description:
When you run ftpd on a multihomed machine with different names
for the IPs, you can specify different configuration files and
such (e.g. via twist in /etc/hosts.allow) but you can't specify
a hostname.
Also, when logging you don't know where it was connected to.
>How-To-Repeat:
Obvious.
>Fix:
Either 1) allow specifying hostname in config file or command line
or (my preferred) 2) Apply patch below to pick up name from connection.
Maybe it should have an option to turn this off/on?
