	  can't ftp into a 4.0 SOS machine unless I use the user name root

anonymous ftp works fine to my Sun OS 4.0 machine, after following 
the setup instructions in the ftpd man page.

	I'm running ypserv with the old 	secret -i flag just 
	like I do on our 3.n systems but have no joy.  
	
4.0 versions of ypserv don't use the "-i" option.  You have to
build yp host.by* maps using the "-b" option of makedbm. 
(See the makedbm man page).  You will probably also need a new 
version of ypserv from Sun which fixes a critical bug with the "-b" 
option.  mallen@sun.com should be able to help you with this.
