[BlueOnyx:10922] Re: Why refresh proftpd.conf when reboot ?

[Eiji Hamano]

Hi  Greg

I am glad to answer a clear reply.
However,  you could not  imagine why I have to do it.

See  [BlueOnyx:03007]  Proftp timestamps.

And the link :
  http://bluequartz.org/ml/archive/coba-e/15300/15357.html
was gone.
So See following "Original Message".
