>Description:
When using MIT ftp client to connect to an MIT (or Cygnus Kerbnet) ftp
daemon -- where the target host is Solaris 2.6 or newer, the login process will
hang if the target user does not have an accessible home directory (bad perms
or non-existant path).
Show quoted text
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Remove/rename home directory of target user on a Solaris 2.6 or newer host.
2) ftp to target host, when prompted for a username, enter the target user that
has no home directory
You will receive a banner similar to:
232 GSSAPI user ________@TEST.COM is authorized as _target-user_

and the connection will hang.
3) Performing a clear-text login using the OS-supplied ftp client will NOT encounter
this hang. It appears that the "230- No directory! Logging in with home=/" error
message from the MIT ftp daemon confuses the MIT ftp client.

>Fix:
1) If practical, create a user home directory (not always possible due to policy/politics).
2) Use encrypted rcp. :-(
