I'm running BSD 2.0 and am trying to configure my anon ftp area for 
uploads so that clients can deposit files. I've done the man page thing 
on ftpd and ftpaccess, and am using one of the sample files for 
ftpaccess. I can ftp in and drop a file, but then ftpd closes the 
connection and dumps core in the current directory. If I go in and look 
in the directory, the file I was transferring is there (ASCII or binary) 
and the umask is set correctly, but there's also an ftpd.core. FTP works 
fine, incoming or outgoing, if I use it from an account. I only have the 
problem with the anon site.

Any hints would help. I didn't see anything in ftpaccess or the man pages 
that looked like it might be related.
