I was able to finally figure out my problem with HP Unix ftp and Checkpoint NG.
The HPUX ftp program issues a SYST command after connecting and before login when auto-login is turned off with the -n option flag. With NG, the SYST before USER was confusing the firewall and it was failing user authentication. I found a new option flag for HPUX ftp in the man pages for HPUX 11i but it works on my HPUX 11.00 servers also. It does not work on HPUX 10.20. -c When this option is set, the SYST and TYPE calls are not made by the ftp client to the server upon establishing a connection. ===== -- Derek C.
