Dumpucko!

Output from the beginning of a ftp session:

-------------------

Thus, after having logged in to my ftp server I noticed that one line of the
server output read "S:230 Dumpucko!", which I found rather peculiar. It's
not very often I get insulted by a ftp server.

Both the server and the client are from the 0.3b distribution.

Greping through the source soon gave me a likely suspect:

In the void pass(char *) function in ftpd.c:
        /* some clients insists on sending a password */
        if (logged_in && askpasswd == 0){
             reply(230, "Dumpucko!");
             return;
        }

Now, changing "Dumpucko!" to something more informative would, IMHO, 
be A Good Thing(tm). I am also curious as to why the heimdal ftp client
is one of those that insists on sending a password (and which password it
sends since it didn't ask me for one).

By the way, is anything happening with rcp - I sent some source to Assar, but
haven't heard anything since. rcp would be very nice :)
