Sebb commented on NET-557:
--------------------------
I did consider this, but there is no guarantee that the user name is distinct
from the other words in the message.
For example, there might be a user called "User". Or "for" or "in".
I agree this is somewhat unlikely, but it is not impossible.
And in other languages clashes may be more likely.

> Project: Commons Net
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: FTP
> Affects Versions: 3.3
> Environment: Window 7, Java 7
> Reporter: Phil Dicke
> Priority: Minor

> The following code prints out the user name in one instance and masks it in
> the other. The password is masked in both cases. I would prefer the user
> name to be masked in both cases as well.
> {code}
> FTPClient client = new FTPClient();
> client.addProtocolCommandListener(new PrintCommandListener(System.out, true));
> client.connect(host);
> client.login(user, pass);
> {code}
> Output (Notice the user name is printed on the response)
> {code}
> 220 Microsoft FTP Service
> USER *******
> 331 Password required for ftpTest.
> PASS *******
> 230 User ftpTest logged in.
