Hi

When updating to FreeBSD 4.8 I saw that you can give ftpd a -h flag 
to prevent the server from telling clients, what kind of server it is 
(finally I don't have to edit the source to uptain this "feature"). 
Now correct me if I am wrong, but normally you can get server 
information 3 ways right?
1. When connecting to the server it will display a message
2. When giving the command "stat"
3. When giving the command "syst"

Using 1 and 2 I was not able to get any server info (YES!), but sadly 
when writing "syst" I still get:
215 UNIX Type: L8 Version: BSD-199506

Mirror mistake or is it just me?
