I do provide a number of files via anonymous ftp, so I want to set that up. In that initial setup, it seems that you must have some 'incoming' directory. I tried to leave that field blank in the dialog, and I still got an 'incoming' directory which was world writable. Usually I remember to go back and remove that, but I forgot on some recent install (installing 'stable', a few months ago). Have there been any changes to the anon-ftp setup which would allow one to specify NO incoming directory recently? If not, that might be a nice change to make... --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
