Subject: Problems logging in...session hangs

I'm currently running wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-18-VR14] on a Solaris 2.6 system.
I have a user from Bulgaria that needs to download files from the system.
Once he logs in a annonymous and gives his e-mail as password the system
responds with 230- and then hangs his session...

Any clues????

Might have him try putting a dash (-) before his email address as
password.  This tells the daemon to not use extended replies (230-) which
could be confusing his daemon.

You might also add command logging and see if it's a specific command
causing the hang.

I've had a number of downloads to sites in Bulgaria, so I'm assuming it's
not a network problem .. but that is something you should also entertain.
Thins to look for are firewall problems.  Command logging should clue you
in on those since they usually have to do with data transfers and either
PORT or PASV connections.
