kBeroFTPD 1.0.0
(c) 1998 by Bernhard Rosenkrnzer <bero@beroftpd.unix.eu.org>
=============================================================

1. What is kBeroFTPD?
=====================
kBeroFTPD is a KDE front-end to editing BeroFTPD's ftpaccess files.
kBeroFTPD 1.0.0 was released at the same time as BeroFTPD 1.2.1; if you
have a newer BeroFTPD with more features, you'll have to update your
kBeroFTPD (or edit ftpaccess by hand) to make use of them.
Also, kBeroFTPD is my first attempt at writing a KDE application - so I
suspect the code is quite messy. Any patches are welcome.
WARNING: kBeroFTPD is still beta; you'd better make a backup copy of your
ftpaccess file before editing it with kBeroFTPD.

2. What do I need to run kBeroFTPD?
===================================
- A unix system (Linux 2.1 and FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT are the main development
  platforms; other platforms should work without or with only minor changes)
- KDE (You should have KDE 1.0 or higher; older versions may or may not
  work)
  If you need to update, go to http://www.kde.org/
- QT (Tested with qt 1.41; older versions may or may not work)
  If you need to update, check ftp://ftp.troll.no/qt
- an ftpd that can handle the generated ftpaccess files - kBeroFTPD was
  (obviously) written for BeroFTPD.
  (ftp://ftp.beroftpd.unix.eu.org/pub/BeroFTPD)
  You can probably use the files with wu-ftpd, as well - but don't expect
  all features to work.
- If you are building from source, an ANSI compatible C++ compiler.
  Recommended: PGCC for ix86 platforms (http://www.gcc.ml.org/), EGCS for
  all other platforms (http://egcs.cygnus.com/).
  GCC and most other ANSI C++ compilers *should* work fine, but are
  untested.

3. I think I've found a bug...
==============================
First, make sure the bug is still present in the most current version. It
can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.beroftpd.unix.eu.org/pub/BeroFTPD/kBeroFTPD
If the problem persists, send a bug report to
kBeroFTPD-bugs@beroftpd.unix.eu.org. If possible, include a fix. ;)

4. Are there any mailing lists for kBeroFTPD?
=============================================
Yes:
kBeroFTPD-bugs@beroftpd.unix.eu.org - bugs and their fixes.
To subscribe, send a message to kBeroFTPD-bugs-request@beroftpd.unix.eu.org
with "subscribe" in the subject.
kBeroFTPD@beroftpd.unix.eu.org - all-purpose mailing list
To subscribe, send a message to kBeroFTPD-request@beroftpd.unix.eu.org
with "subscribe" in the subject.

5. Why KDE, and not Xaw/GTK/...?
================================
Simple - KDE is (IMO) easier for both the user and the programmer. With the
harmony library (http://harmony.ruhr.de/), the restrictive license of Qt is
no longer much of a problem.
If you want to port to Xaw/GTK/..., make it so - there's enough space left
on my ftp server.

6. May I redistribute/modify kBeroFTPD?
=======================================
Yes. Check the file COPYING for details. (It is NOT yet another copy of the
GPL.)

7. How can I contact the programmer?
====================================
Either use one of the [k]BeroFTPD mailing lists, or write directly to
bero@beroftpd.unix.eu.org. No need to do both - I'm subscribed to the
mailing lists.
