Actually, this is an installation problem and has nothing to do with
the linux1 vs. linux2 problem:
(bart-savagewood-warlord) in /mit/sipb
Ready> ls -l linuxetc
lrwxr-xr-x 1 svalente root 20 Jan 21 1996 linuxetc -> arch/i386_linux1/etc
(bart-savagewood-warlord) in /mit/sipb/linuxetc
Ready> ls
total 3040
drwxr-xr-x 2 svalente root 2048 May 8 1994 .
drwxrwxr-x 5 root root 2048 Aug 9 12:16 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 svalente root 1552384 Feb 9 1996 Mosaic
So, whomever installed xftp didn't install it properly for linux.
