Hi everyone,

	I noticed a big difference in what is reported on two systems on
which I try to admin wu-ftpd. Basically, i'd like to have the Solaris 2.4
machine report things the way that the linux machine does (show addresses
clearly). If anyone knows what is causing this, i'd like to hear it very
much.. :). Here is the output for "ftpwho" (Note: I have defined
SETPROCTITLE when I compiled it on the solaris machine.. ). Should I
upgrade to beta 5 on the Solaris machine? Thanks for reading this..

Solaris programs can't change their proctitle the way Linux programs can.
It's something in the operating system.

(I have been trying to get other programs to do the same.. gopherd and
sendmail. Same results).
