Package: ckermit
Version: 211-7
Severity: normal

The kermit server, iksd, allows remote users to identify valid accounts on the 
system with minimal effort.
Telnet to the iksd port, and enter a username. If the username exists, then a 
password prompt is displayed.
If it doesn't, then an authentication failure is returned immediately.
This makes it trivial to find out which usernames are valid on the remote 
system and which aren't.
