 Status: Pending => Rejected

I can't reproduce this on either the head or the 2.7 branch.
In both cases, I set up an alternate interface, configured it
using zope.conf, and was able to connect to it and transfer
files in active mode (note the PORT command):

a FTP Connection (not PASV) with e.g. Microsoft Explorer hangs if the Server doesn't run on the default IP of the host.

if zope is started with a different IP (e.g. with z2.py -P ...) than the default IP of the host (returned by gethostname()) then the Server tries to open the FTP-DATA Connection with the default IP of the host (instead of the IP the Zope-Server is running)

Maybe the problem starts at  ZServer/medusa/ftp_server.py - line 707:
self.hostname = socket.gethostname()


maybe socket.gethostbyaddr(ip)[0]
(but what if RDNS is not working)
