Weird ftp problem
I have netbase-2.00-1 and netstd-2.02-1 installed. I tried kernel
1.3.80 and 1.2.70. Since I was away from the system for ~10 days I
forget exactly when the problem began and what might be responsible :(
Symptoms:
1. ncftp ftp.i-connect.net segfaults (unless I strace it). But I can
get the kernel from Helsinki just fine :( Among others, I get
messages like:
Trying to connect to ftp.i-connect.net...
Error: Host is not responding to commands, hanging up.
Error: Remote host has closed the connection.
Hello unknown@syntropy.netaxs.com, you are connected to
primer.i-Connect.Net.
> cd /debian/unstable
Error: Not connected.
2. standard ftp can't connect to that site either it hangs after
connecting. Here's the strace output from before the hang:
ioctl(4, TCSETS, {B9600 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
close(4) = 0
sigaction(SIGINT, {0x8001f40, [], SA_RESTART}, {0x800a260, [INT], SA_RESTART}) = 0

write(1, "230- Hello unknown@syntropy.n"..., 86230- Hello unknown@syntropy.n.) = 86
read(3,
Nothing typed at this point gets a response.
3. "mirror -U -gftp.i-connect.net:/debian/development" also fails with
the message "Cannot login, skipping package". Strace reveals:

time(NULL) = 828338025
time(NULL) = 828338025
select(8, [3], NULL, NULL, {120, 0}
I can log into sunsite and ftp.mircroworld.net just fine. Is there
something wrong between me and i-connect? I'm baffled. Any clues?
