It appears LOGINS work. I swear it didn't when I posted that message. Oh well. The main problem seems to be FTP logins to not work. If I change it to the standard FTP server it does, but wu-ftpd which is the FTP we use does not. I guess I should try recompiling wu-ftpd first, and go from there. The cd command also does not work suchj as cd ~longusernamehere. Email with long user names seem to be working ok.
