Bug#226794: Sends wrong FTP password for anonymous:userpasswd at server

[Eduard Bloch]

Package: mc
Version: 1:4.6.0-5
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Hello,

I recently discovered that this program has a bug with sending the
correct password specified by user using the server:passwd syntax if the
username is "anonymous". I know that having a password for anonymous FTP
user is a bit unusual, though the program should work correctly in this
case and not blindly ignore what the user has entered and send some
other password string instead.

Regards,
Eduard.
