Which ID's with the following?

Q> ProFTPD 1.2.0pre1 Server (ProFTPD) [if-c]
Q> Anonymous access granted, restrictions apply.
Q> /pub/linux/kernel: No such file or directory

It's neither ftp.demon.co.uk nor unix.hensa.ac.uk but is the one that
running `ncftp ftp.uk.kernel.org` most often gives me...

OK, I've tracked it down. That one is compton-if-c.mirror.ac.uk and
appears to be a dud mirror...
