I have been trying to use the version of ftpd, supplied by sls@ocf.berekeley.edu,
that supports anonymous FTP.  That part works fine, except that now
anonymous FTP is the type that works.

The registries on the SR10.2 node were created from the 9.7 registry
using cvtrgy.

It seems that the encrypted password in /etc/passwd does not match
the password encrypted by crypt(), thus preventing users from "logging
in" via ftpd.

Is this a known problem, or am I misunderstanding the problem?
Is there anything I can do about it?
