Hello all,

AIX 4.3.3 bos.net.tcp.client 4.3.3.75. I have a weird ftp client problem
in that it doesn't prompt for a password for users. root user works fine:

# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(system)
groups=2(bin),3(sys),7(security),8(cron),10(audit)
# ftp ftp
Connected to michael.csd.selu.edu.
220 Southeastern Louisiana University FTP server
Name (ftp:ray): ray
331 Password required for ray.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.

Other users aren't even prompted:

# su - oracle9
$ id
uid=238(oracle9) gid=202(oinstall) groups=201(dba)
$ ftp ftp
Connected to michael.csd.selu.edu.
220 Southeastern Louisiana University FTP server
Name (ftp:ray): ray
331 Password required for ray.
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.
$

There is no .netrc. /etc/shells is fine and /etc/ftpusers doesn't exist,
not that it matters as i'm fairly certain this is a client problem. I
have this problem on all ftp servers i try to connect too. Any ideas??
