FTP client on an Amdahl (UTS580-1.1.3, 4.3 Net) system or Ultrix (V2.0-1) gets "530 Login failed (bad Username or Password), give new USER and PASS " when attempting to use FTP server on a VAX VMS system, and the password for the VAX account is over 8 characters long. This has been observed with VAX's running Wollongong (versions 3.1 & 4.0) and Excelan (EXOS Version 4.5) servers. Client FTP on a BSD 4.3 system to the VMS servers works fine. The UTS and Ultrix clients also work when the VMS password is 8 or fewer characters. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Does anyone know who's fault it is? Who should I complain to? I am not on the tcp-ip list, so please send responses directly to me at the email addresses shown below. Thanks for your help.

Same problem seen on trying to FTP to a Vax from the IBM TCP/IP on our VM system. (After hacking attacks many people go beyond 8 characters!) -- _ _ o | __ | jmg@cernvax.uucp | | | | _ / \ _ __ _ __ _| jmg@cernvax.bitnet | | | | |_) /_) | __/_) | (___\ | (_/ | J. M. Gerard, Div.
