FTP can be caused to seg fault if I type: ls -l [a-z]*
Did you mean 'ftp' or 'ftpd' (just making sure). I can't reproduce this. --- ftp> ls -l [a-z]* output to local-file: [some file/dir in my local dir]? ---
The problem is with the client (ftp) not (ftpd). Here is the output from my sessions to two different machines. The first is an RS6000 running AIX 4.2.1 and the second one is an Intel P2 running SCO Unixware 2.1.3: To the AIX box: $ ftp riscpc Connected to riscpc.securitytechnologies.com. 220 riscpc.securitytechnologies.com FTP server (Version 4.1 Fri Aug 7 06:02:04 CDT 1998) ready. 500 'AUTH GSSAPI': command not understood. 500 'AUTH KERBEROS_V4': command not understood.

Can't reproduce this with the current version.
