Well, that's probably since you can't do it for ``ftp logins'', only for anonymous ftp. (Maybe we're misunderstanding here, though.) Setting up anon ftp ain't difficult and is described in ftpd(8). If this ain't sufficient to you, be careful to not create a security hole. Also, sysinstall provides setting up an anon ftp server as an additional configuration service. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
