Subject:   ftpd patch that saves me a lot of hassle
Message-ID:  <20020119122812.E909@gelatinous.com>

I got sick of (presumably) warez people probing my anonymous ftp site and
dropping all kinds of hard-to-delete trash in incoming, so I patched my
ftpd to only allow directories to start with alphanumerics. There's
probably a better solution, but this works for me so I figure'd I'd share.

Combining this with a umask that doesn't allow reading uploaded files keeps
things reasonably well in hand.
