Possible MultiNet FTP server DoS problem.

Hey,
 Anyone runs MultiNet FTP server on VMS and don't mind to let me test
out if the problem I found recently really could drive the machine to
crash? This ftp daemon doesn't timeout/close connection when before it
authenticates user, which seems to be quite serious problem until VMS has
some sort of iternal protection against too many opened connections. I've
done some code to perform quick tests but don't feel like bothering random
internet boxens :)

cheers,
-F
