Same thing with dialup (non-2). What's up? Or rather, please fix if
this is your fault. Someone called in flaming...

You seem to be just a little bit confused.
This has never worked. If you are not logged into dialup or dialup2,
then you are not in the /etc/passwd file. Ftp only looks in the
/etc/passwd file (currently). Therefore, if you try to ftp to dialup
or dialup2 as aaron when you are not logged in to either machine, you
will lose. As a counter-example, suppose that I *am* logged into
dialup2 and I ftp to it:
pit-manager% finger @dialup2
