>Description:

lukemftpd core dumps on anonymous login after accepting the password. What
seems to be happening is that the user function (ftpd.c:716) is called but we
hit the goto on line 786 and so skip the call to parse_conf on line 821. This
means that when we get to count_users (conf.c:883) (called from pass
(ftpd.c:1149)) curclass.classname is still NULL and the strlcat on line 892 of
conf.c causes a segfault.

The NetBSD code differs in that it doesn't have the goto though I haven't
tested to see if that avoids the problem. I'm not sure of the rationale for
the differing code - the comments seem to say the NetBSD code came from
FreeBSD originally.

>How-To-Repeat:

Added an ftp user and group. Shell set to nologin.
Added lukemftpd to inetd.conf with the flags "ftpd -ll -r -d"
Login via FTP as "ftp" with any password.
