3005 Networking problems (FTP)

[Zvika Bar-Deroma]

I'm starting to wonder what's wrong with some networking commands in AIX
3. I have  opened an APAR concerning the fact  that FTP (outgoing) works
for me only as a superuser. Otherwise,  I don't have the chance to enter
the password after entering the  username, and the "ftp-login" procedure
process fails, due  to "INVALID LOGIN" (of course, it  never gave me the
chance to enter  the pw..) My SR reproduced the  problem on his machine,
but what solved it for him was  to replace telnetd with the netnetd from
the rlease before 3002 (remember 3002's  was broken ?..). It didn't help
me, though, and the  problem is still open (my PMR  is: 2672x, issues at
IBM Tel-Aviv, aka TELVM1). The problem occurs to me both on Ethernet and
on Token Ring, as well as when I try to ftp the localhost.
