Sumex has put on the more secure anonymous ftp and some accounting features.
You were always supposed to use your userid as a password so that they
can tell who used it. Now, if you log in as anonymous and the password you
send is not of the for "user@host", it is considered an invalid password.
They also appear to be limiting to 25 anonymous ftp sessions at a time.
