Has anyone ftp'ed to uxe.cso.uiuc.edu (128.174.5.54) recently? When I try to login using anonymous it tells me to login with USER and PASS. If I try this I end up with an access denied message. Does anybody know what's going on there? thanks for any insight, -Bob rhir_ltd@uhura.cc.rochester.edu bob@uorhep.bitnet

There is a bug which was found in ftpd recently which allows
one to gain root access to a machine without too much trouble.
Probably what has happened is that the U of Illinois people
have taken their ftpd down for awhile until the fix has
been applied. The fix is simple and was posted to comp.bugs.
4bsd.ucb-fixes last week.
