System name:		cathedral-seven.mit.edu
Type and version:	SPARC/5 8.2.8 (with mkserv)
Display type:		unknown

What were you trying to do?
  ftp from athena.dialup to leviathan, a vax mayfair III
  running ultrix 3.0.

What's wrong:
  peculiar errors. the upshot is that i could not transfer
  any data, neither the output from 'ls', nor the files
  i was interested in.

What should have happened:
  i should've been able to move my files, as happened
  when i used /usr/bin/ftp.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
  when i started up ftp, i noticed that it mentioned something
  concerning kerberos. understandably, the ftp daemon running
  on my ultrix machine did not understand what appeared to
  be an attempt to initiate a kerberos-authenticated ftp
  transaction. when i checked the man page for ftp, i found
  no mention of kerberos, however.
