[ts-7000] Slow FTP connections...

["itguysam" <>]

Hi all, I am relativley new to TS-Linux and am having a tough time
trying to speed up the FTP connection. I think it may be due to it
trying to use Ident and do the ident lookup on port 113. I would
rather not get ident running on my windows box and through firewalls.
Is that the root cause of the slow connections? If so how do I go
about disabling it? I looked at /etc/initd.conf and S20inetd config
files (attached) but there was nothing obvious there on how to disable
the ident auth (if that is the problem).

To be clear, the actual file transfer time is fine, the longest part
of the transaction is after a connection is made but before it asks me
what user I am. With the development we're doing and our tool chain
that step is the longest part of the whole edit-compile-transfer-run
cycle and is slowing us down enough to break concentration.

Thanks for your help.
Sam

# See "man 8 inetd" for more information.

# If you make changes to this file, either reboot your machine or send the
# inetd a HUP signal:
# Do a "ps x" as root and look up the pid of inetd. Then do a
# "kill -HUP <pid of inetd>".
# The inetd will re-read this file whenever it gets that signal.
#
# <service_name> <sock_type> <proto> <flags> <user> <server_path> <args>

# These are standard services.
