EFS 1.15 bug

Fellow efs'ers:
I do not know if it is relevant, but just in case, you should
know I use the following:
(defadvice efs-raw-send-cmd
(before change-email-name-to-just-empty-string first activate)
(if (equal "quote user \"bjacob\"@nexus.cmf.nrl.navy.mil" cmd)
(setq cmd "")))
The Naval Research Laboratory which owns the host to which I
access via efs told me to use their version of Kerberos since they
have modified it to work with their computers. The ftp program is
named kftp. When I run it manually, I cannot log in using the "user"
command. I made efs not use the -n option so that kftp would
automatically ask me the user name. The correct response is to just hit
the ENTER key, but efs would instead send my e-mail address. So the
above defadvice causes efs to just do the equivalent of hitting ENTER
instead of sending my e-mail address. Of course this all may be
unrelated to the problem of the host type being unknown.
I logged into nexus.cmf.nrl.navy.mil, and ran the command
"uname -a", and it said, "SunOS nexus 4.1.4 1 sun4m".
