While you are busy on some bugs, please have a look at one that is really bothering me. (I plan to get to it in a while - but that will take a month or so...). Mine is bin/375, and the problem is that with kerberos running, the only way for a user to login to an account that is in the maps is to use the Kerberos password. I am sure that this is a screwup in the order that things get queried. FTP does not work except for anonymous, and password changing is also stuffed. > If you uncover any other problems, don't hesitate to report them. Here's mine!
