The AFS version of ftpd shipped with version 3.3 has a serious security
problem on RS6000's.

I don't know whether the problem exists on other architectures.

You should use one of the AFS 3.2 versions of ftpd until Transarc can
come up with a fix.

I will not go into the details here for paranoia's sake.

If you want details, you should contact Transarc.
