! 45: Just like pretty much all the other unix ftp daemons on the planet,
! 46: ftpd had a remote root hole in it. Luckily, ftpd was not enabled by default.
! 47: The problem exists if anonymous ftp is enabled, or if a hostile user has a

73: libedit would check for a <b>.editrc</b> file in the current directory.
