	Host:	ftp.egr.duke.edu [128.109.156.35]

I got really tired of dealing with the utmp file (working on a good utmpd, but
it still hangs from time to time), so last night after the Nth complaint about
talk telling people the wrong user name I decided to do some quick ports...

For comsat (biff service) and talkd I simply added code that: only uses
USER_PROCESS utmp entries; and verifies that the utmp process is actually
running.  This should all but eliminate false notifications.

I grabbed ftpd+2 per someone's posting yesterday and made it available (with
my local changes, that is).

Ncftp is a nice ftp client I grabbed from comp.sources.misc today.  It does
seem nice...
