On DCL:

Athena Server (SUN4m) Version 8.0A Mon Jun  3 11:47:13 1996

ftpd's globbing for the ls and dir doesn't work.  This causes "mget *"
to fail, which is extremely annoying.  If you switch
/etc/athena/inetd.conf to use /usr/sbin/in.ftpd instead of
/etc/athena/ftpd, the problem goes away.  Sounds like a bug in our
athenized ftpd....
