OK, so it's the *Kerberos* ftp client. It's obviously buggy as EFS
quotes the USER command, but ftp seems to ignore that. I don't really
see how I can fix this on the EFS side. You might try twiddling with
`efs-cmd-ok-msgs' to filter out the 500 message. Alternatively, use a
non-kerberized ftp client (in our setup, /usr/bin/ftp is it) and set
the value of `efs-ftp-program-name' to it.
