System name:		oglala
Type and version:	KN02ba 7.4G (8 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAGB-BA

What were you trying to do?
verify that I'd logged in via ftp on my decmips

What's wrong:
Instead of getting ANY finger information I get:

finger: Can't stat /dev/ftp0

What should have happened:
I should have gotten at leat the information that I was logged in.
Ideally I should have gotten information saying that the ftp user was logged on.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I have been told that this bug has been fixed on the RT and VAX.
It should be fixed for Ultrix too.
