I have an ftp problem ever since I upgraded to Digital Unix 4.0d. When I
ftp to another host from the one I upgraded it automatically sends a
password that is incorrect. I do not have a .netrc file in my home
directory. I am using csh. If I enter my username and password in one
line at the ftp prompt I can login fine. The following is an example.

host1> ftp host2
Connected to host2.
220 host2 FTP server (Digital UNIX Version 5.60) ready.
Name (host2:seanm):
331 Password required for seanm.
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.

ftp> user seanm password
331 Password required for seanm.
230 User seanm logged in.
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.
host1>

What's happening! Is there another file like .netrc, in another
directory??
Thanx in advance.
