Just curious.  Are you emailing to this list telepathically or do you 
have internet access?  One of the first things to do for a 
program....in my opinion...is to try going to a website with the name 
of the program.  Example:
wu-ftpd.com
wu-ftpd.net
wu-ftpd.org
Boom...there it is.  Not all programs have websites with the name of 
their program in a .com, .net or .org........So, another option is to 
open up your browser and type:
http://www.google.com
Then type in "wu-ftpd".  Wow...it would have worked again.  The first 
listing that I got was for the Development Group site.  Then, click 
on the link and read the page.
To look for the rpm you can go to rpmfind.net.  In this case, 
rpmfind.net doesn't have an rpm for Fedora Core 2, but its a very 
good place to go for rpms.  Usually if they don't have the rpm and my 
rhn.redhat.com account doesn't either (no, I am not using the Fedora 
releases) then there usually isn't an rpm for it.  That doesn't mean 
that there isn't one, just that for the rpms that I get, rpmfind.net 
usually has them without me knowing where the home page is for the 
program.  But "Boom".  When I searched at http://rpmfind.net, it gave 
me the home page for the program there too.  There are many other 
places too.  Again, google is a word you might want to remember.

Following these directions will get you faster results in the 
future.  After you have tried these ways and still can't find it, 
then email a mailing list and you might get a reply that might not be 
a smart-aleck reply like this one since following the above 
recommendations, you would have already found it quicker than it 
would have taken you to email a mailing list to ask where to find it.
