Wow, y'mean this is hard-coded? Part of ftpd?
Everyone wants to know "why?". I'm just curious. It's an isolated system so
security isn't an issue (unless my girl friend gets mad at me). I built the
thing for learning on, so there's nothing mission-critical to lose. Later,
when there is more at stake, I imagine having tried oddball stuff will come
in handy..
