- Ange-ftp isn't too good if you've got a system which doesn't allow
- root ftp logins. Allowing any priveleged account to ftp as root isn't
- worth the convenience of being able to use the editor, at least not
- for a system like ours that does get attacked.
- The su-command does look neat, I hope it works!
