What were you trying to do?
	Use the features that are present in the spiffy ftpd in the
	BSD networking 2 distribution, using the ftpd installed as
	/etc/athena/ftpd.

What's wrong:
	/etc/athena/ftpd is based on an old, crufty ftpd rather than
	on the BSD networking 2 distribution.

What should have happened:
	The ftpd should have been based on the newest available ftpd.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	/mit/jik/src/ftpd contains source code for the Athenized ftpd,
	with BSD networking 2's improvements grafted into it.  It
	appears to compile on vax, rt, decmips, rsaix and sun4
	platforms.
