I'm not sure about other vendors, but Digital will supposedly include fixed
versions of ftpd and fingerd in Ultrix V3.0.  fingerd was not included at
all in Ultrix V2.x, and the sendmail in V2.x does not have the DEBUG problem.
The ftpd problem does exist, but with a few minor patches the code posted
to comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes will work just fine under Ultrix.
