Thanks to Mikel Stous for providing me the solution.
Question:
I am having a problem using FTP. It prompts for username , but not the
password. It seems assuming a null password.
Solution:
# ls -l /dev/tty
crw-rw-rw- 1 root system 1, 0 Mar 19 14:57 /dev/tty
If it's not set to 666 then you will have multiple problems, including
ftp having your described behaviour and yppasswd dropping core.
