Hi. I am trying to set up anonymous FTP under FreeBSD 2.0R

I followed the directions in the ftpd man pages, and almost
everything works.

The remaining problem is that I only ever get UID's for file
ownership (ie. no names). I have tried as many different passwd
file configurations in ~ftp/etc as I can think of, specifically
(1) copy of /etc/passwd (2) copy of /etc/master.passwd (3) modified
copy of /etc/passwd with the 10 field format

Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
