Re: ISC will likely be shutting down FTP access to ftp.isc.org soon (https will remain)

Thus spake noel <deletethis@invalid.lan>

[...]

However, as ISC also offers support contracts for BIND and Kea, and
those customers have their own due diligence policies, we are often
subject to scrutiny and audits about how our network runs, and even for
a venerable URL like ftp.isc.org, we get questions from auditors like
"did you know you have a public FTP server on your network!  Why!?"

Lot of hogwash, so ISC don't have a spine... I wont go into how comical
the excuses are, others have more than adequately stated how silly they
are.

I've been working for several large companies that are legally required
to carry out annual audits of their IT infrastucture, both internal and
outsourced, and had to deal with external auditors from PWC, KPMG and
E&Y, to name just a few, and I know that it's absolutely impossible to
argue with external auditors and your customers' management if you care
about your mental health. They will drag you down to their level and
beat you with experience, so ISC is not to blame, IMHO.
