Hi,

Recently I've been getting the following message from ftpd in
/var/log/messages:

Dec  5 11:29:20 eddie ftpd[27849]: /etc/pwd.db: No such file or directory

It's happened about 3 times in the past 2 days or so, all while anonymous ftp
usage was taking place. I wasnt able to get the message reproduced.

Is this a problem with ftpd, or is someone trying to crack into my machine.

Running -current from about Nov 13.

thx

josh
