Hi Nik--
Empirical evidence shows that the original ftp passwd line is correct.
I propose the following patch instead, which deals with the "release
name" issue but should (I think) reflect the realities of anon FTP.
(Picture the same patch for the alpha of course.)
How's this? If it gets your point across I'll do the relevant commits.
Bruce.
