Hi there,
I've just set up an anonymous ftp server on a small LAN and done this
differently to the FAQ:
$ grep ^ftp /etc/passwd
ftp:*:1000:999:anonymous ftp user,,,:/var/spool/ftp:/sbin/nologin
$ man hier
/var/spool/ ftp/ Commonly ~ftp; the anonymous ftp
root directory.
$ ls -ldF /var/spool/ftp
dr-xr-xr-x 6 root wheel 512 May 24 01:32 /var/spool/ftp/
$ ls -lF /var/spool/ftp
total 16
dr-x--x--x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 2 09:04 bin/
dr-x--x--x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 2 09:04 etc/
d--x--x--x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 2 09:04 hidden/
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 May 24 01:33 pub/
So I didn't have to add /bin/false to /etc/shells, nor was /home/ftp
needed.
$ grep ^ftp /etc/inetd.conf
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -llUSA
I didn't alter /etc/login.conf
Please advise if this is OK.
Craig.
