Hi,

Has anyone run into the following problem/issue/glitch with the FW-1 2.1
authenticating FTP proxy server:

   When an user behind the firewall gets authenticated by FW-1, if 
   their remote ftp login is _not_ the same as the internal FW-1 login, 
   the user gets an error message and must hit carriage return to get a 
   standard ftp login prompt from the remote server.  This is causing 
   grief for the FW-1 support staff because the "end-users" cannot seem 
   to grasp the concept of these messages.

Is there a way to have the authenticating ftp proxy _not_ automatically
send the internal FW-1 login as part of the string to the remote server?
Or just let the remote ftp server authenticate as if there were no firewall
in the middle?  

Or is there some other workaround that is possible?

Any insight or workaround is greatly appreciated!

Thx,

Bill Maggio
