It seems ncftp-new for the SUNs would be much happier with a bit of
tweaking. (i.e. to define DOMAIN_NAME as "mit.edu")

If this program wasn't located in the SIPB locker (and thus, definitionally,
Supported Software), I probably wouldn't complain, as its name makes it
clear that it's a pseudo-beta version of the program. However, it's there,
and so it should work right. :-)

P.S. - "rm /afs/.sipb/project/sipb/sun4bin/ncftp-new" could be interpreted
as an acceptable solution. I'll leave it to the maintainers to decide
what to do. :-)
