>Description:
The gssftp manpage does not document the "passive" command.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to ftp to pub1.bryant.vix.com and discover that passive mode ftp
does not work. At first I assumed that this was because the code was from 4.4lite
and the manpage from 4.3reno, but examination of SCCS IDs clarified that the
manpage and code were both from 4.3network2 with some modifications.
If there were no SCCS IDs in the tree tracking this stuff down would have
been harder. This is part of why it unfortunate that krb5 has seen fit to
remove RCS tags from files.
>Fix:
Pummel the authors of the passive patches since the security patch
folks seemed to do the right thing...
