Subject: vwu-ftpd bsdi and anonymous bug?

Hello,

We're running bsdi 1.1, with virtual wu-wftpd beta 10.  We've seemed to
have encountered a strange bug in the anonymous user proccessing.

If an anonymous user logs in with a full rfc822 compliant password 
("[email-masked]"), they are able to issue the ls command just fine.

If an anonymous user logs with the password "jamie@", or something along those lines,
the ftpd will drop the connection when the user type "ls" .  dir works fine.
This keeps mozilla users off our ftp server, not a good thing.

If anyone knows how to make this work, it would be greatly apprieciated.

This is fairly ugent, please try to respond directly to me.

Also, does anyone know if this mailing list is archived anywhere?

thanks,
James

No, not a good thing, and we have exactly the same setup here, and are experiencing it also.  
Must be a BSDI related problem, nobody else seems to be plagued by it.  Also, try a password 
that is _not_ rfc822 compliant, but _is_ longer than 11 characters, and it works.  I only 
experience this on the virtual ftp sites, not the main one.

If you find _anything_ out, please tell me, and I'll keep you up on what I find out also.
