The bsd version of ftpd has a call to strncasecmp().  On a sun this is
in the libresolv.a library.  The HP does not have this library, most of
the routines in the Sun library are in the /lib/libc.a on the HP. When I
look at the libc.a nm shows:

Symbols from /lib/libc.a[ruserpass.o]:

Name                    Value   Scope  Type    Subspace

$global$            |          |undef |data   |
__filbuf            |          |undef |code   |

$THIS_BSS$          |1073742448|static|data   |$BSS$

My first question is why does the linker give:

ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
   strncasecmp (code)

My second question is how do I get around this ?

The reason I'm using the BSD version of ftpd is that it's been modified
to provide the logging that we need.

Oh ya
None of the above is an opinion of The Boeing Co.  (If they found out 
that we had opinions they would probally create a new divison to figure 
out to hire opinionless employee's)
