RFC 623          Comments on On-Line Host Name Service     February 1974


FTP.  Therefore I propose that the data base be available via a program
running under its own socket at the NIC and at the secondary host.  This
also avoids the necessity for the accessing program to know the login
parameters for the guest account at the serving host, which in fact
might not be the same at the two hosts.  Again, the motivation is to
make things easy for accessing programs.

    Anyone with comments about any of the above is encouraged to make
them known.
