install anonftp*.rpm and either BeroFTPD*.rpm or wu-ftpd*.rpm, there is a

this is a different transfer protocol, there is a nice brief description
in inetd.conf, there is of course more indepth documentation for it.
# Tftp service is provided primarily for booting. Most sites
# run this only on machines acting as "boot servers." Do not uncomment
# this unless you *need* it.

install the needed packages, and revert to the
#/etc/hosts.deny
ALL: ALL
#/etc/hosts.allow
ALL: 127.0.0.1
#FTP: ALL
# this may be wrong i didn't double check, and i use ipchains more
# extensively
#/etc/rc.d/rc.local
ipchains -I input -s 127.0.0.0/24 -i ! lo -j DENY -l
#this blocks and logs any fakeing of localhost
-=-= OR =-=-
#/etc/ppp/ip-up.local <- sorry i typed the wrong name when refering to
# ifup
ipchains -I input -s 127.0.0.0/24 -i $1 -j DENY -l
#don't replace $1 with ppp0 you'll have problems, it's passed by ip-up
