On the positive side, the thing builds on both Linux and AIX (out of

Trunk should also be stable now, if you want to take a crack at that
before the tag;

Looking at it now, I'm starting with configuring the thing as an
anonymous FTP server according to the installed extra/ftpd.conf. And of
course have a few notes on the shipped sample config:
- IMHO the example file should not override the default DocumentRoot,
ErrorLog etc. As most other things in the file, it should be
commented out by default.
We have a specialized ftproot so we don't make assumptions for the user,
and the install creates that empty dir (alongside in parallel to docroot)
although we could add an ftproot/SUCCESS file or something pretty easily
by adding that to docs/ftproot/ of the project.
Keep in mind all the fools who put their scripts and "secret" content in
the docroot, I don't know that docroot is really a valid default unless
they take 10 minutes to think about it, eh?
- ftp should be added as a valid Anonymous ftp access username (the
Anonymous directive).
e.g. user ftp pass blah? Ok, not so familiar with that semantic myself,
but feel free to commit.
However, starting the thing yields:
Invalid command 'Anonymous', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module
not included in the server configuration
Missing mod_authn_anon?
Commenting out the whole "Anonymous ftp access" block makes the thing
start, accepting anonymous access.
So I didn't see this problem, but I'm using stock builds and fedora 8 to
check this out, so far running that tree authless (meaning it's whatever
user/pass they provide) and read only (just as you had).
But where you want both explicit and anon access, you'll need authn_anon.
Maybe add a comment to the conf example?
Sander Temme pioneered the auth example work and maybe can chime in here.
I found an old patch I had made to fix the REST command (it didn't grok
large files) that seems to work, at least I managed to download all
4571090944 bytes of revelations-2.iso with numerous interruptions and
still have the correct md5sum afterwards. I'll try to cuddle svn into
becoming my friend and commit it to trunk.
That's fantastic - thank you for the commit!
