Pretty simple, really. Create an account named ftp, with a home directory
you consider to be secure. Users will be able to login to ftpd as either
'ftp' or 'anonymous' and specify *anything* as a password. Ftpd will
chroot to the ftp home directory. This means you need to have a minimal
file system duplicated under ~ftp. All of this is documented in the ftpd(8)
man page, so *RTFM*. ;^)
