Sorry, but when I found this email from one of our support people I thought this was just too sweet. I needed to blog that.

Shameless plug: If this post was useful to you, please consider buying yourself something from one of my Amazon stores: US store, UK store, FR store, DE store, CA store. If you're not into Amazon, why not donate something to GNOME, Mozilla or Wikipedia? Thank you!

    Awesome. How did you manage that? Not starting the service on demand any more but keeping in running all the time? And what about SSL/TLS?

    The new FTP server software has much better performance. That’s the trick. No need to change from inetd to standalone mode.

    Regarding SSL/TLS: It will be back at some time. There are some serious issues with current implementations at the moment regarding routers and firewalls and all that stuff.
