Yep

Hmmm, that's very nice, but that makes the whole thing practically
unusable :-(  I expected more or less a replacement for wu-ftpd. I run
djbdns instead of bind and qmail instead of sendmail and I was very
happy that I had found a secure "djbftp". But I fear it is not realistic
to ask people to use lynx instead of outlook or Netscape :-(

I fear I will have to re-activate wu-ftpd again :-(((
