Description David Grant 2006-07-31 09:57:44 UTC 
net-ftp/ftp-0.17-r6 has a strange problem. When I run ftp it doesn't work, but if I run /usr/bin/ftp it works.

# ftp ftp.abcphoto.com
# /usr/bin/ftp ftp.abcphoto.com
Connected to ftp.abcphoto.com (216.21.138.50).

works fine here and most other places

you didnt really post any info ... like `emerge info` is totally not posted

try running it through strace and see what's up
Comment 2 David Grant 2006-07-31 22:12:32 UTC 
sorry, it was so weird, I didn't know what to do and I didn't think emerge --info would help much.

What the hell? It works now. Well I should have done an strace before, that would have been a good idea. I'll try reproducing it exactly the way I caused the problem before, which was through an ssh connection from work. Not sure if that will make any difference.
