Hello Maurice.

Always interested, but my limited time, has just gotten "more" limited, I am 
busy rebuilding my Hi-Fi system, after 12 years of neglect, and am enjoying 
the music tremendously, mostly due to my aquasition of a beautiful pair of 
speakers, that sound just wonderfull. Paradigm Studio 20's ... , apparently of 
Canadian origin ... , now to get a decent turntable ... , tho that will likely 
only be next year ... :-(

Just got the USB on my BBS box working and backed up the whole BBS to my USB 
external HDD, using ext3 file system on the USB drive, what a pleasure ...

Sounds neat, busy trying to decide how to setup FTP on the BBS box, want to be 
able to have the BBS users log in to their accounts and dowload files saved in 
their home directories, but also have normal anonymous ftp available ...

Do you know if it is possible to have 2 ftp home directories, running the same 
server, login method determines which "home" you end up in, or are 2 servers 
on seperate ports, required to do this ...

Or is their a better way ...
