If you read the documentation, it tells you how to set up Rumpus to run at startup without being logged in. I believe there was some sort of problem with the way the builtin FTP worked with the OS that made this a hassle. That's also why it has to run as root. I have this and it will run just fine without being logged in. The author has gone a long way to build contingencies into the app install. I can see it sitting there behind the login window. I think the real issue is rewriting the whole thing in Cocoa. Since Rumpus runs so well and on such minimal hardware, a lot of people just have old pre-X boxes for their FTP servers--the double-edged sword of being such a fantastic piece of software.. Changing to Cocoa and making this a real OS 10 app would disenfranchise all those people.Reply to This
