    Download gnuftp and change the error message in the code and recompile ?

    Folks,

    Got an unusual request from our Security department

    When you ftp to a server with an incorrect user id, it results in the
    following:

    Connected to <some address>
    220 chh-lpar1 FTP server (Version 4.1 Fri Nov 21 12:40:53 CST 2003) ready.
    Name (<some address>:me): blah
    331 Password required for blah.
    Password:
    530 Login incorrect.
    Login failed.
    ftp>

    When yo ftp to a server with an incorrect password, it results in:

    530-3004-300 You entered an invalid login name or password.

    530 Login incorrect.
    Login failed.
    ftp>

    Is there anyway to get ftp to display the same error message regardless
    whether it was an invalid password or invalid user id?

    Thanks!
