I am presuming that your suggestions are meant for the ftp-master end,
which I have no control over. Other sites are doing fine getting stuff
from my end - the CTM creating computer - so I suspect that it is not a
problem with a firewall at my end.
I copied the message to peter@freebsd.org, because he is the person the
error message from ftp-master is copied to. But is there someone else
responsible for freebsd-master I could contact about this?
I am copying this time to hubs@freebsd as well. Maybe they can help.
