Do we really need this in trunk? Sure, we can say "hey windows has it...", but shouldn't we actually keep stuff in trunk that is necessary for a basic core system? I'd rather import Samba TNG into trunk, as it's very much more what normal users would expect from a Windows like OS than some ftp or telnet server. I would rather import the VBox drivers into trunk, but I don't even think of importing it into rosapps. I'd rather import MPC. Please! Let's focus on stuff that is important for the core instead of adding more and more 3rd party stuff. The people that download and use reactos are either people that give a shit about ftp servers or people that are experienced enough to install them theirselves. IMO it shouldn't even be in rosapps, but if it was there I could live with it, trunk: bad idea.
We are not Unix/Linux! You want server stuff? Great! Let's make the XAMPP work properly and get good uptimes. Anything else is wasted space and time.

Regards,
Timo

Another unix like addition?
Do we really need this and the previous telnet server in our source?
      
to be fair, Windows does provide a command line TFTP client/server. So
far, I've only seen it used for malware spreading, but it's there and we
should provide one too
    

Where I work we use dhcpd/tftp and PXEboot on both Linux and Windows
to do automagical deployment services. The end goal with all of this
is a ReactOS deployment system from a single image that can provision
ReactOS thinkclients/diskless workstations without the need of a Linux
or Windows host.

Pushing out a freeldr or grub+freeldr or even pxelinux+grub+freeldr
image with a blob containing a ROS ramdisk should be pretty simple
using isc-dhcpd/tftp on Linux but I'm more interested in the
infrastructure side of things right now. Currently the dhcpd with PXE
support is the only part we are really missing. We COULD do it from
Linux or Windows right now, but I want to get all the infrastructure
in place where we don't need any other OS.

Thanks
