[ale] ftp services

[eric at compgen.com (Eric Z. Ayers)]

Run the following command as root:

rpm -q wu-ftpd

When I run it, I see: (red hat 5.2)

$ sudo rpm -q wu-ftpd
wu-ftpd-2.4.2b18-2

If you want to install it, mount your RedHat CDROM, and change to the
RPM directory and type:

rpm -i wu-ftpd
