Subject: Solaris 2.4, Netscape, Mac, and the WU ftpd

We've got a problem with the Mac flavor of Netscape (all versions)
connecting to a Solaris 2.4 platform running the wu-ftpd software.  Netscape
will never successfully retrieve the initial directory listing for an
anonymous ftp login.  At first I thought the problem was in the Mac version
of Netscape, since all other browsers (both Mac and PC alike) had no
problems connecting via anonymous ftp to our server.  After a few minutes
of looking around, however, I found MANY sites running the same version
of wu-ftpd (V2.4) on Solaris platforms which our Mac had no problems 
connecting to.

	Has anybody else had a similar problem?  Are there any patches
for wu-ftpd 2.4 that I am not aware of? (I currently know of none...)

	Any help would be appreciated.
