Hi all!

I am using Solaris 2.4 on an i486-machine.
Earlier I have been using the standard in.ftpd, and with that the anonymous
ftp worked fine. But when I tried to upgrade to wu-ftpd, it won't work.
The ftp-client sends username and password, and then it just hangs.
No messages, nothing, although I am able to change directories and such,
so I guess it doesn't really hang...
I then tried to telnet to port 21, and this is what happened:

Connected to nic.  
Escape character is '^]'.  
220 nic FTP server (UNIX(r) System V Release 4.0) ready.  
USER ftp 
331 Guest login ok, send ident as password.  
PASS asdf@qwerty 
230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.  
CWD pub 
250 CWD command successful.  
LIST 
425 Can't build data connection: Connection refused.  
QUIT 
221 Goodbye. 
Connection closed by foreign host.

What's this with message 425? Do I have some wrong access-rights to some
files? I have the special files zero, tcp, udp and ticotsord in ~ftp/dev.
They worked fine for the other ftpd.
