Disable IDENT/DNS slow ftp connection for wu-ftpd

Set 'timeout RFC931 0' to the /etc/ftpaccess file.

if that doesn't work, try:

In your /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd file, check to see
if you have the "USERID" option set for either "log_on_success" or
"log_on_failure". If so, remove the "USERID" option. I guess having that
in there causes ident to try and figure out who is logging in regardless of
what flags or server args you are using.

Dude thank you for this. We were having a terrible time with slow logins on our ftp server. We finally figured out that it was ident slowing it down but could not figure how to turn it off.

Thanks again.
