    FTP User Enumeration Vulnerability
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    While not as serious as the previously mentioned vuln, this still
    poses a threat as it may allow an attacker to harvest a list of
    valid FTP usernames on the system.
    
    user blah
    530 User can't log in
    user anonymous
    331 Anonymous access allowed, send identity (e-mail name) as password
    
    
    These vulnerabilities are present in the current versions (0.71b) but may
    affect earlier versions as well. Vendor was contacted but did not reply.
