How did you get empeg-preinit installed? I tried:

ftp -s:install.ftp [my empeg IP]

But the first line of install.ftp (quote site rw) was skipped.

I added a blank line to install.ftp and tried again. This time it executed the rw command, but it's now hanging on the put (empeg-preinit hijack).

Also, the install.ftp does a cd into /bin to place empeg-preinit as hijack. The README file mentions /sbin instead.

Clue, please.
