Hello,
 
I have been trying to use the Washington University FTP daemon.  It will not
allow me to login:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
220 net1.netview.net FTP server (Version wu-2.4(3) Mon Jul 1 10:07:50 EST
1996) ready.
Name (netview.net:sa): root
221 Server shutting down.  Goodbye.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

And yes, I do know that root is in the "disallowed" list, but the above is
the same message I get for any user:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
220 net1.netview.net FTP server (Version wu-2.4(3) Mon Jul 1 10:43:43 EST
1996) ready.
Name (netview.net:sa): sa
221 Server shutting down.  Goodbye.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

It would seem that it should be a simple matter to fix this, but for the
life of me, I don't know how.  In the past, I have used wu_ftpd without a
hitch.  I think it is the crazy shadow-passwords database system that
FreeBSD uses that is confusing the server???

Also, please note the number in parentheses on my server (3):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
220 net1.netview.net FTP server (Version wu-2.4(3) Mon Jul 1 10:07:50 EST
1996) ready.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cdrom.com server is a bit different:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
220 wcarchive.cdrom.com FTP server (Version wu-2.4(17) Sat Jun 22 21:37:48
PDT 1996) ready.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

What does that mean?  A revision number?


Thanks,
