>Description:
I would like to use a secure channel to discuss this, and I know
that in the past "confidential" has been ignored. In summary, I have
found at least one password that causes the install script to choke
because the ftp client can't send it; it may just need ""'s around the
URL, but I'm not sure.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use my password to ftp-get the distribution files.
Workaround:
I used a dummy account with a stupid password.
